Let's not get distracted by Pres. Pedophile's threats

The media is, as usual, falling for PP's threats to send National Guard troops into "blue" cities. They're giving him all kinds of coverage about the threats and following his playbook.

On MSNBC earlier, Ana Cabrera reported on his threats to occupy Baltimore and had the Balty Mayor on. While she did acknowledge that crime has gone down a good bit there, she kept challenging the Mayor about why wouldn't he want the federal government to come in and help and what is his plan to reduce crime?

The mayor did a good job but the impression of Baltimore as a "hellhole" as PP said is now there. Cabrera didn't say one word about the "red" cities that have much higher crime rates.

PP is getting what he wants - attention and to look tough on crime. He's also getting another distraction from Epstein. And the so-called liberal media is pushing the false idea that blue cities run by Black Mayors are dangerous.

Do we need to be aware of his threats? Of course and the city/state leaders need to respond forcefully. But once again, Democrats have to deal with both PP and his minions, and a biased media.

Never seem to be able to find their notes on this topic, most crime in this country recently is related to the effluvium of obscenely-rich people and the golf-cheater's inability to recognize that he is not the only person who matters.

Let's see what those Epstein materials look like.
