Well, let me rephrase that. Nobody in their right mind would watch what is happening and blame conservatives, right wing groups, or Trump for this violence. This is 99.99% liberals attacking the police, random businesses, and lately... even residential areas.
If the argument is that the very existence of conservatives, right wing groups, and Donald Trump incites you to violence, then you are not in your right mind. Furthermore, if Joe Biden is suggesting that the blm and antifa violence would go away if Trump condemned it more, then he is further gone than anyone actually believes.
The President has continuously condemned the violence and has offered Federal help in most every liberal city where the rioting and violence had escalated out of control. Help that these local liberal politicians have been rejecting over and over and fighting against tooth and nail. Just over the weekend, the Democratic Governor Tony Evers told Trump not to come to his state. Last week, the mayor of Portland once again refused federal help to assist in their rioting, only to have his own condo building occupied.
The only side appeasing this has been the left and that has been pretty much every aspect of the left. From the media, to the academia, to big tech, to Democratic politicians, to rank and file Democrats, there has been almost no attempt to dissuade or undermine the rioting and violence. They have either openly or tacitly been supporting everything about what blm and antifa has been doing.
But now we are supposed to believe that it's all the President's fault and that the violence is actually being caused by right wing groups and conservative Trump supporters.
Sorry Joe... I doubt anyone is taking that line very seriously. In fact, if I had any doubts about Joe Biden's leadership, the idea that he refuses to take any responsibility, offer any solutions, and attempts to simply shift the blame would be reason enough alone to never vote for him.

A Big Difference from 2016
9:13 am EDT
First Read:
“One of the major differences between 2016 and 2020 is that this year’s presidential contest features a smaller third-party vote than four years ago, and Gary Johnson/Jill Stein voters from 2016 are breaking more toward Joe Biden than they are Donald Trump. And given Trump’s narrow win four years ago, that movement – if it holds – is a big deal.
“The combined national NBC News/Wall Street Journal polls from this year have interviewed 215 voters who said they backed either Johnson or Stein in 2016, and Biden holds a 2-to-1 advantage among them.
“Forty-seven percent say they’re voting for Biden, 20% are supporting Trump, and 33% are unsure or say they’re backing another candidate.”

Trump Suggested ‘Settling’ with Robert Mueller
8:14 am
“One of the crazy nuggets in a deeply reported book by the N.Y. Times’ Michael Schmidt — Donald Trump v. the United States, out tomorrow — is that President Trump mulled the idea of ‘settling’ with special counsel Robert Mueller,” Axios reports.
Writes Schmidt: “At one point, as the investigation seemed to be intensifying,Trump told White House counsel Don McGahn that there was nothing to worry about because if it was zeroing in on him, he would simply settle with Mueller. He would settle the case, as if he were negotiating terms in a lawsuit.”

New Trump Adviser Pushes ‘Herd Immunity’ Strategy
7:59 am
“One of President Trump’s top medical advisers is urging the White House to embrace a controversial ‘herd immunity’ strategy to combat the pandemic, which would entail allowing the coronavirus to spread through most of the population to quickly build resistance to the virus, while taking steps to protect those in nursing homes and other vulnerable populations, according to five people familiar with the discussions,” the Washington Post reports.
“The administration has already begun to implement some policies along these lines, according to current and former officials as well as experts, particularly with regard to testing.”
Zombie Herman Cain Tweets Virus ‘Not as Deadly’

Swift Boat Mastermind Launches Super PAC
6:27 am
“Senior Republicans are launching a massive new super PAC this week to bolster Donald Trump’s reelection in the final stretch of the campaign — a move that comes as the president has been pummeled by Joe Biden on TV,” Politico reports.
“Preserve America will be overseen by Chris LaCivita, a veteran Republican strategist who orchestrated the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth takedown of John Kerry in the 2004 presidential race.”
Trump Attempts to Rebrand an Ugly Economy
6:24 am
“In the nine weeks left in the 2020 campaign, President Trump has an especially daunting task: Convince a skeptical American public that the coronavirus-ravaged U.S. economy is actually roaring back and will soon return to the status he regularly calls the greatest in world history,” Politico reports.
“He faces serious obstacles. The U.S. economy pre-coronavirus was far from the greatest in history, leaving most Americans with little cushion for the latest plunge. Now Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other senior White House officials risk sounding out of touch cheerleading a still-struggling economy with a jobless rate over 10 percent — above its peak during the Great Recession — and close to 30 million people getting some kind of unemployment assistance.”
Quote of the Day

“This campaign has always known that it’s going to be a close race, it’s going to be a tough race… It’s a polarized nation and we expect this kind of tightening.”

It’s Crunch Time for Voting Litigation
August 31, 2020 at 9:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
CNN: “Several major courts cases over voting in multiple states have trials set in September or may have decisions soon, spotlighting legal disputes among state elections officials, Republicans, Democrats and voting access advocacy groups in the next few weeks.
“With 10 weeks until Election Day and ballots in several states going out well before then, the clock for courts to decide is already ticking loudly. September brings major court hearings and possible decisions on voting access disputes in large states like Texas, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, with some voting rights groups involved in trials across the country on the same days or within a week.”

My path was to control the free flow of information, because it plugs a potential channel of criticism. Turn the media into a propaganda machine for your regime like Fox News and Breitbart and Qaon and super pacs!

Biden Forced to Play on Trump’s Turf
August 31, 2020 at 10:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The chaotic scenes in Kenosha, Wis. and Portland, Ore., are redefining the contours of the presidential race — shifting the immediate debate over how to quell the clashes, who should own the unrest and which candidate is better suited to lead the nation through strife,” Politico reports.
“Donald Trump, who’s planning to visit Kenosha on Tuesday, is claiming the mantle of law and order even as he stokes conflict between protesters and his supporters. Trump is trying to take credit for restoring order by loudly calling for an influx of National Guard troops and painting Democrats as too fearful of alienating their base to denounce violence.
“Joe Biden last week called for a halt to the violence, though it took him longer than many Democrats wanted. The Democratic nominee decided over the weekend that he would not travel to the pivotal battleground state on Monday ahead of Trump’s visit. Instead, the Biden campaign plans to ramp up messaging that Trump’s rhetoric has only inflamed hostilities on the streets, beginning with a speech in Pennsylvania Monday.”

Democrats Have Registration Edge In Key Battlegrounds
August 31, 2020 at 10:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
NBC News finds that Democrats have a voter registration advantage in four battleground states: Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona and North Carolina.
Clearly dems all got the new talking points memo...that Trump wants the violence. They can ignore all his attempts to stop it. But voters won't.
