Good God…remember the Beer Summit and how the RW chorus were SO DARNED UPSET because Obama was sticking his nose into it??? He should have minded his own BUSINESS? And now two privileged people who did like ‘protesters’ in their private development so they waved their guns around are coordinating with the WHITE HOUSE???

Sends a very bad message.

Which was the exact intent. In fact, the entire saga couldn’t have fit Trump’s purposes better if the whole thing was choreographed.

I’m glad the Toddler-in-Chief is finding things on the teevee to keep himself amused with. When he’s bored he gets cranky.

$500 easy that this guy gets offered a gig in the Trump Campaign by August.

He’s about to become a rich-man’s Joe the Plumber.

However, Watkins told TPM it was his opinion that the Justice Department’s resources “will be deployed,” an opinion the lawyer said was borne out of “close observance.”

“will be deployed”…in helping the couple escape accountability.

Fox News will be calling soon with an offer to do a show. These poor people (rich) were only demonstrating their Constitutional right (white) while protecting their property (rich and white). They are the real victims here (rich, white, conservative).

The Trump administration has been keeping “a keen eye” on the situation

He has so much to micromanage, no wonder he hasn’t time to worry about:

  • the devastation his inept handling the pandemic has wrought

  • the Russian bounties on the heads of our troops

  • the economy he crashed because of his incompetence, millions out of work, many jobs never returning
