Another illiterate threat for MN from Trump saying the governor and mayor "our currently being rendered, USELESS!"

Trump: "In MN, the Troublemakers, Agitators, & Insurrectionists are, in many cases, highly paid professionals. The Governor & Mayor don’t know what to do, have totally lost control, & our currently being rendered, USELESS! If, & when, I am forced to act, it will be solved, QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY!"

Then he'll prohibit all demonstrations and protests, a prohibition we will ignore. There will be Edmund Pettus Bridge situations, and we'd better get ready to be John Lewis.

How many redneck morons have you heard repeat the phrase, “innocent until proven guilty.”? That no longer applies

...they would ask, "Who, exactly, are these "highly paid professionals?" What are their names? By whom are they paid? What is the evidence you are using to reach these conclusions?

But stenographers don't ask questions.
