WEIRD THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE JUST RECENTLY DUMPING ON CONFEDERATES ARE NOW ENDORSING REBELLION AGAINST FEDERAL AUTHORITY:

The Democrats are committed to the view that what is happening in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta and other cities is mere “peaceful protest.” Thus, the Trump administration is unjustified in sending in federal officers to protect federal property, like courthouses. And to the extent that anything untoward happens, it is Donald Trump’s fault. This was the main theory that the Democrats tried to advance through their “questioning” of Attorney General Barr.

This theme is so stupid that it boggles the mind. Presumably most people have seen video footage of the violence that has taken place in cities like Portland and Minneapolis. They have seen violent assaults and burning buildings, long before any federal agents arrived. They have seen massed, armed criminals doing battle with police officers. Can the Democrats possibly be fooling anyone?

Well, the 99% of the press that gives a bad name to the other 1% is doing its best to help them.
