Can you tell me when they weren't?  Definitively.  Tell me how the previous Presidents interacted with their various agencies on a daily basis.  

You guys are so f'n stupid about this stuff.  It all started 3.75 years ago, right?

So you are ok with the cdc reports, which have been the cornerstone of our nation’s public health work for decades, becoming politicized.
 

That’s not stupid at all is it?

How do you know they never have been? 

 

The CDC screwed up to a degree, but not because it's 'anti-Trump' or 'deep state'.  The CDC is just one element of the larger US response which was unprepared and underfunded from the get-go. 

Should checks and balances exist?  Perhaps.   But a communications political appointee with no background in medicine/science shouldnt be the entity doing it.  I mean Caputo is a Republican strategist for crying out loud.  That's political hackery to the extreme.

Sort of a misleading tweet in calling this a BLM protest.   There's video of it.   The 'protest' was 3 jerks showing up at the hospital and causing problems.     

But whatever fits the narrative I guess.  

You mean whatever doesn't fit the narrative.  BLM has it made because the media has allowed them to only take ownership of "peaceful" protests.  Anytime someone that is part of the movement does something stupid BLM is given a free pass simply by stating "they weren't with us".  Meanwhile when a white person does something idiotic..................just another example of the ridiculous double standard that exists that the "narrative" refuses to acknowledge

Who says these guys are representative of the movement?...just because they yelled BLM?     Unfortunately BLM has evolved into a catch-all phrase (separate from the entity itself) that people with vastly different opinions and objectives use.  

But this suits the racist Trumpsters just fine.   De-legitimizing demands for equality and justice is easier when you can conflate it with idiots who break things and scream "BLM!" 

 

EDIT: Looks like these dudes are from some obscure group called Africa Town Coalition.

Probably go down a one of the worst moves by the athletic dept since the move up.  Turn down big money, get 15 practices with contact,  GT said he offered Ark St. financial help with testing.  Oh well stay safe.

Oh and get to play against a P5 team that isn't very good.

I’m more outraged McFeely only knows how to write puff pieces on Klieman and when it comes to this embarrassing loss it is nothing but silence from the Fargo media. Butt kissers showing their true colors!

Be careful with the Trump campaign app.   Unlike other candidate's apps, Trump's is attempting to obtain personal information from not only the user, but also the user's contacts via software company Phunware.  Very similar to Cambridge Analytica's mining on facebook.              

 

“To access the Trump app, users must share their cell-phone numbers with the campaign. “The most important, golden thing in politics is a cellphone number,” Parscale told Reuters. “When we receive cellphone numbers, it really allows us to identify them across the databases. Who are they, voting history, everything.”   Michael Marinaccio, the chief operating officer of Data Trust, a private Republican data company, said recently that “what’s new this year, or at least a sense of urgency, is getting as many cell-phone numbers as we can in the voter file data.”  An effective way to do that is to entice supporters to share not only their own cell-phone numbers with the campaign but those of their contacts as well.   One estimate, by Eliran Sapir, the C.E.O. of Apptopia, a mobile-analytics company, is that 1.4 million app downloads could provide upward of a hundred million phone numbers. This will enable the Trump campaign to find and target people who have not consented to handing over their personal information.  It’s not unlike how Cambridge Analytica was able to harvest the data of nearly ninety million unsuspecting Facebook users, only this time it is one’s friends, family, and acquaintances who are willfully handing over the data for a chance to get a twenty-five-dollar discount on a maga hat.”

Ahh yes, so Trump supporters = racist....BLM supporters that step over the line = they aren't with us.

What's wrong with that?   Jack***es who step over the line should be disavowed.   All of them, on both sides.  

Unfortunately Trump rarely does this - insofar as calling nazis “very fine people”, and recently that Patriot Prayer scumbag a "very fine gentleman".      Yes, it's racism (from the highest position in the land) on down.
