Earlier on Friday afternoon, the Department of Justice sought a Temporary Restraining Order against the City of Seattle and the Seattle Police Department to block the implementation of a newly passed Ordinance by the Seattle City Council that would have prohibited the Seattle Police Department from using “flash-bang” devices, pepper spray, tear gas, and other non-lethal crowd-control tactics against crowds of protesters.
As it turns out, back in 2011 the Seattle Police Department and City of Seattle were sued by the Obama Justice Department over the issue of unlawful use of force, and inadequate training of Seattle PD Officers on the use of force. Rather than fight the suit, Seattle entered into what is called a “Consent Decree” to end the litigation.
One provision of the agreement prohibited the City of Seattle or the Seattle Police Department from modifying its agreed-upon use of force policy without the approval of DOJ and the Monitor appointed by the Court to ensure compliance by the defendants with the terms of the consent decree.
But this morning United States Attorney Bill Barr reminded Seattle that it has at least one more interested party to satisfy with regard to justifying its change in policy. Late tonight (Friday evening) Judge Robart agreed with DOJ, and prohibited enforcement of the same policy he insisted go into effect just a few days ago.
So apparently it turns out that the City of Seattle cannot prevent the Seattle police from using tear gas, pepper spray, or make any of these sorts of changes... unless they get permission from the DOJ and the court appointed monitor. Quite obviously, they didn't have the permission of William Barr's Department of Justice to make such a move, which means the new ordinances are null and void.
What does this mean other than the children running the city of Seattle are morons? Well it means that there might be quite a few protesters heading downtown Seattle thinking that the police cannot use tear gas, pepper spray, or other means of crowd control. Won't they be surprised (and likely very upset) if such an event takes place.

Every time I think the Republicans are the stupid party the Democrats say "Hold my beer".

Dr. Fauci: ‘We Don’t Know’ How Less Likely People Are to Transmit Coronavirus When Wearing a Mask.
"50% Your guess is as good as mine"

The New England Journal of Medicine, in a May study titled “Universal Masking in Hospitals in the Covid-19 Era,” stated, “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.”

This is how dictators start to steal their votes
Under the Constitution, the ability to regulate for health and safety belongs to the states and local governments. The feds simply do not have the lawful authority to fill in gaps in local law enforcement, no matter how offended they may be.
This is how totalitarianism begins.
The feds claim that federal property needs protection and the folks assigned to do so need help. When help arrives, it does so by surprise, under cover of darkness and shielded by anonymity. Then, the reinforcements beat and arrest and harm protestors because their bosses in Washington do not approve of the protestors' message.
Public dissent against the government is a core personal freedom.
It is as American as apple pie. It was integral to the creation of our republic. Government repression of dissent is totalitarian. It is as un-American as the governments against which we fought world wars to preserve our core freedoms.

Something that those of us who’ve lived through — and survived — authoritarian-fascist collapses know all too well. We’ve seen it before, maybe, like me, several times over. We know how it begins, and how it ends — usually — too. None of that’s to be a know-it-all blowhard. It’s to warn, as seriously as I can. You probably have an inkling of what I’m about to say, but your rational side denies it. Your gut is right, and your brain — which has never lived through this kind of collapse before — is wrong.
Of the 19 states that have yet to issue a mask mandate, 18 are run by Republican governors
It's not all in their minds.
An unknown but growing number of the 4 million U.S. COVID-19 patients say they can't shake symptoms ranging from fatigue to serious respiratory or neurological problems, often for months after diagnosis. The ailments are all the more challenging because patients say they often face skeptical families, friends, employers and even doctors.
Research is limited on these so-called "long haulers." New York City's Mount Sinai hospital appears to have the first post-COVID treatment center in the U.S.
A study of 143 patients in Italy out this month in JAMA Network found 87% of patients who had recovered from COVID-19 reported at least one lingering symptom, notably fatigue and trouble breathing.
Natalie Lambert, an Indiana University associate research professor, analyzed at least 1,100 responses to a poll about post-COVID-19 symptoms in the 81,000-member Survivor Corps Facebook group. More than half of the patients reported at least one of six symptoms, including the now-common fatigue and breathing problems.

The FBI, ICE, US Marshals do not require any local "permission" to do their jobs. If you are breaking a FEDERAL LAW they can pursue you regardless of whether or not local officials like it or not (think back to the Judge who was charged with aiding and abetting for allowing an illegal set to be deported to escape capture by letting him out the back door).
Federal agents in Portland are protecting Federal property and it is a FEDERAL CRIME to vandalize a Federal building.
Seriously Roger...
are you really this stupid?
Under the Constitution, the ability to regulate for health and safety belongs to the states and local governments.
So local states don't have to follow Obamacare regulations?
Good to know.
The Republican Party WAS the party of liberalism during the Civil war. Abraham Lincoln was a liberal at that point in history.
In fact, the majority of the major shift of liberals to the Democratic Party, and conservatives to the Republican Party, occurred when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The fact that it's Republicans, that are now clinging to the Confederate flag and the Confederate statues, while Democrats are the political party advancing civil/equal rights, should make that abundantly obvious.
This came from a lawyer who works for Fox News.

The funeral for John Lewis is going on in Selma Alabama.
I remember when he was brutally attacked by the police officers. He had a fractured skull.
This is not 1967, when Nixon ran on a law and order campaign against the civil rights movement.
Chinese Americans are going to support Joe Biden.
Trump called it the Chinese virus and it has caused some people to attack them.
He's got to be sent to Russia so he can play golf with Vladimir
Putin.
He's a 79 year old man who actually was on his high school basketball team and they were very good.
He's only about 5'8"
Your Trumpism is not going away
The Chinese LIED FOR AT LEAST 3 GOD DAMN MONTHS
You blithering old fool
Your stupidity isn’t going away either
The cognitive test that the President has bragged about is prescribed by a psychologist to determine if he has Alzheimer's disease.
His father Fred had Alzheimer's disease.
Conservative lawmakers blasted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts after he sided with the court's liberal wing in a 5-4 decision Friday that rejected a Nevada church’s request to block the state government from enforcing a cap on attendance at religious services.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted early Saturday morning that Roberts had "abandoned his oath."
WE WILL NEVER LET TRUMP TAKE ANOTHER BREATH OF FREE FRESH AIR AFTER 01/20/2021 @ 12:01PM. THAT IS A PROMISE! HE WILL BE TRESPASSING AND THE SGT AT ARMS WILL DELIVER HIM TO SDNY FOR PROSECUTION AS "INDIVIDUAL 1." TO THE GRAND JURY. THEN HE AWAITS CHARGES THAT WILL PUT HIM AWAY FOR THE REST OF HIS UNNATURAL LIFE! HE IS A TRAITOR.
“It’s not meant to measure IQ or intellectual skill in anyway,” said Ziad Nasreddine, the neurologist who created the test. “If someone performs well, what it means is they can be ruled out for cognitive impairment that comes with diseases like Alzheimer’s, stroke or multiple sclerosis. That’s it.”

A prominent group of Republicans opposing Donald Trump have released a new advertisement attacking the US president for his support of Ghislaine Maxwell, after the alleged “madam” for paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was arrested earlier this month.
The Lincoln Project, which was founded by current and former high-profile conservatives such as George Conway, husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, posted the ad to Twitter on Friday with the caption: “What does Ghislaine Maxwell have on @realDonaldTrump?”
Alzheimer's is passed thru the mother's gene dumb fuck

They are not wrong the decision for all practical purposes sets aside the 1st amendment,
An 11 grade civics student would come to that conclusion before the Chief Justice does.
