Trump Trapped By 'Ego' In 2020; GOP Should Leave Him There, Slams New York Post​

A scathing editorial in Saturday’s New York Post lashed former President Donald Trump for “obsessing” over the 2020 presidential election, and urged Republicans to abandon him in the past and move on.
“Trump has become a prisoner of his own ego,” slammed the conservative newspaper controlled by longtime Trump supporter Rupert Murdoch. “He can’t admit his tweeting and narcissism turned off millions. He won’t stop insisting that 2020 was ‘stolen’ even though he’s offered no proof that it’s true.”
Respected officials like former Attorney General Bill Barr call his rants “nonsense,” the editorial added. “This isn’t just about Liz Cheney. Mitch McConnell, Betsy DeVos, Mark Meadows — they all knew Trump was delusional. His own daughter and son-in-law testified it was bull.”
Trump’s response? “He insults Barr, and dismisses Ivanka as ‘checked out.’ He clings to more fantastical theories,” the newspaper complained.
The former president could have quietly kept a low profile following the bombshell hearing Thursday by the Jan. 6 House select committee investigating the insurrection.
Instead, the editorial noted, “Donald Trump, the King Lear of Mar-a-Lago, decided to tweet — er, Truth — yet another statement confirming that he refuses to accept reality. ‘January 6th was not simply a protest,’ he wrote, ‘it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.’”
It “wasn’t, of course. It was a national shame — one that neither Democrats nor Trump can stop obsessing over. It’s time for Republicans to move on,” the Post snapped back.
“Meanwhile, reports that Trump was pleased that the Jan. 6 crowd chanted for Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged — a truly reprehensible sentiment — makes him unworthy for the office. Trump can’t look past 2020. Let him remain there,” the editorial concluded.
Check out the full New York Post editorial.

looks like fbi/cia peeps all dressed identically
 
So I went to buy my Fourth of July Fireworks today. Prices were up 25% over last year and when I started to talk to the clerk he said the biggest cause was the cost of ocean shipping. In 2020, it cost him $7500 per container, and this year that has rocketed to $38,000!!!! This is just the container cost China to US and doesn't include dock fees, unloading and road shipment to his store.

it's probably antifa in disguise!!! yeah..that's it!

sickos
The people who were arrested were all wearing similar clothing associated with Patriot Front, including identical insignia, and there was at least one smoke grenade in their possession, police said.


According to the Anti-Defamation League, Patriot Front is a white supremacist group whose members maintain their ancestors conquered America and left it to them. lmao!!!The group split from another white supremacist group, Vanguard America, in late August 2017, per the ADL.
White said the group was equipped with "shields, shin guards and other riot gear with them," along with papers he described as "similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would put together for an event."

Tennessee made homeless camps a felony. Colorado is trying something else.​

State governments have become increasingly active in taking steps to curb homelessness after largely leaving solutions to cities — though approaches have differed widely.

In Tennessee, a law enacted by the Republican Legislature that goes into effect July 1 makes it a felony for homeless people to camp in parks and on other public property — a measure advocates say is “unprecedented.” In Colorado, meanwhile, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis recently signed into law two bills creating campuses where people can get help in their transition out of homelessness by supplying housing, mental health services and job training.

“We tend to see communities reacting to all of that in one of two ways. One is with empathy and concern for their fellow citizens and residents who are losing their housing, while the other is to pretend that it’s their fault that they’re becoming homeless and to use the criminal justice and legal systems to deter behavior they think is bad," said Eric Tars, the legal director at the National Homeless Law Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit advocating for housing rights.

Meh...........

This could easily turn into permeant housing. ]
Yes.
There is a % of Homeless that has simply fallen on hard times & are willing to return to being a contributing person to society but there is another % (in my opinion - a much larger %) that will never return as a productive member of society & this will give them even a less motivation to do so.

When & where do you pull that plug?

Like most of the leftist advocacy groups the proponents of the homeless have failed to address the true issues and instead in their zeal to champion a cause have done a massive disservice to the people they're supposedly helping.

Most homeless, as you alluded, are mentally ill or addicts. They need treatment. Unfortunately their illness usually makes them resist that. And the "advocates" fight for them to remain homeless and destitute. The results of their "help" are truly appalling.

Just more progressive contradictions and with the legalization of drugs and gambling, it's only going to get worse.

They are treating them to free smoking (crack) kits, and the city gives them a indoor clean environment with unused needles for the junkies. Liberal Utopia. However you can’t say they are mentally I’ll and force them into anything. Doesn’t matter how many they stab, beat, push in front of trains, or disrupt classes in grade school. They have rights too. ?

There are no moderates or very few left in office these days. We have right wing extremists and left wing extremists. If you step out of the shadows and actually have a thought in your head (liz cheney) you get ripped apart and ostracized...don't matter who wins the midterms...it will be the SOS...THERE ARE MANY GOOD REPUBLICANS OUT THERE but until the stranglehold by DJT is broken (and it will) they cannot get anything done. Moderates on the left have a much better chance
