Out of interest, and to settle an argument with my other half, why does Obama seem to unequivocally back him and selected him as VP?

Obama selected him as VP because he is a cynical cunt who knew Biden would bring voters with him, for which he s willing to let bygones be bygones

The Kpop stan takeover of the White Lives matter/White out Wednesday/ Blue lives matter hashtags on twitter is absolutely glorious. I am not into Kpop, it often creeps me out but fans using their fancams and gifs to successfully takeover hashtags used by racists/neo nazi's is a very good use of technology.

I thought the targeting of police ‘snitch’ apps was particularly glorious

The KPop stans also spammed the Dallas police department app they were trying to get people to use to snitch on protesters until it shut down.

And, the Secretary of Defence has spoken out against such action, and therefore Trump.

The US defence secretary has opposed Donald Trump’s threatened use of the Insurrection Act to allow active duty troops to be deployed in American cities, and is withdrawing airborne units that had been sent to Washington earlier this week.

Mark Esper categorically opposes using the Insurrection Act amid mounting disquiet over the increasingly militarized response

Would it hurt Trump to acknowledge the illegal murder of George Floyd by the police and to say that justice will be done?

I don't think he has mentioned that yet no?

It would hurt his ego and that is more important than the welfare and safety than the citizens he was elected to serve

US government using military surveillance apparatus to spy on George Floyd protests:

"Military surveillance planes over America's cities are a rare visible indicator of tectonic increases in surveillance quietly underway," John Scott-Railton, a security researcher who has also been tracking some of the surveillance aircraft flights, told Motherboard.

For several hours last night, authorities flew an RC-26B aircraft over Washington DC, making dozens of circles above the city, according to data Motherboard reviewed from ADS-B Exchange, a repository of unfiltered flight data. Authorities also flew a RC-26B over Las Vegas Tuesday night, as spotted by Scott-Railton. The aircraft made repeating circles around different areas of the city, according to flight data reviewed by Motherboard. Tuesday protests in Las Vegas were peaceful according to local media reports, but on Monday police shot and killed one person who was armed. After that, authorities announced the Nevada National Guard would join law enforcement on future protests.

The Military and FBI Are Flying Surveillance Planes Over Protests

Motherboard tracked high-tech aircraft previously used in warzones, as well as flights from other agencies above protesting cities.

It's also probably the most abusive end of the music industry.

But yeah, it is hard to argue with an effective takedown of white supremacist types regardless. Just a personal bugbear (a Korean friend's friend is in a Kpop group).

You get the impression that Esper (which is really cool name by the way I wonder if he is a telepath) is not a man of principle and honour but a bit of a turd who has been happy to play along and turn a blind eye to Trump's madness until now but even he has a teeny tiny shred of decency left that is making him uneasy.
I don't expect him to last long now though, the Mad King values only absolutely fidelity and loyalty above all else.
Obama speaking out is great though purely because Orange Joffery will blow a gasket and go off on a mad Twitter rant, I continue to be amazed he hasn't given himself a heart attack.

Or a massive stroke.

 

[mauvais]

I don't really understand US law in any more than a passing way but Posse Comitatus seems like quite a big barrier to getting anyone but the National Guard involved, especially with a professional military rather than a conscripted one.

 

[Yossarian]

If I was Obama I'd be tempted to declare the formation of a provisional government just to see if it gave Trump an aneurysm.
