Most people probably haven't seen a white supremacist on TV since an episode of Jerry Springer in 1997, but suddenly it's a problem?

Although I think I know what you mean by that sentence, it can, in fact, be interpreted 2 ways:
1) ...Trump dislikes the media more than he dislikes white supremacists.
2) ...Trump dislikes the media more than white supremacists do (dislike the media).

“No intent of harm or disruption to motorcade,” and that the driver simply had a problem with her brakes,
Back when I was involved with towing every other accident was blamed on brake problems by the driver. I recall only one car that truly had non-functioning brakes. The rest of the time I suspect the people were stomping on the wrong pedal or just trying to blame something other than themselves.
The guys filming are standing in the Fastenal's parking lot. There is a roadway behind where that car came out, and it is turned in a manner where she could miss that turn and go straight through the trees. That road leads to a large employee parking lot area for a Bass Pro warehouse and other businesses.
I wouldn't think she would be coming so fast out of that parking lot that she would have to brake to make the turn, and still be going fast enough to run off the pavement and in and out of the culvert. Intentional or not, for nefarious reasons or not, she hit the gas.
This, together with the firing of people in the NSC who are not islamophiles, is very worrisome.
quote:
The United States Department of Justice is pursuing the case against Culpeper County and forcing a Christian pastor and other Christians to testify under oath about their views on Islam even though the mosque itself has already settled all claims with the county.
I wonder if they're taking volunteers? I'd be happy to fly out there and give them my views on islam.
And I agree, between this, McMasters, and Kelly, it is a bit troublesome. Perhaps there is something they are not telling us.

Excellent. You have to admit that the timing couldn't have been any better just as the President was going by. I am sure the security will be taking a better look at things in the future.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 41,

Pretty impressive watching the guy in the Excursion immediately move to block the car off. Somebody knows their job well.

Without knowing the relationship between the county and the people named in the subpoena, I don't think you can draw worthwhile conclusions about the purpose or motives. It is presented as click bait, but there nay be some legitimate purpose in the underlying case.
That the county and the mosque have resolved their didoute in this case isn't necessarily the solution to the problem. Without knowing the requirements of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, there is no way to evaluate the propriety of the DOJ's case, or the subpoena.
The judge seemed sceptical, as he must be, I think.
The key seems to be these people's role in the conty's denying the permit.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

These last few pages have really got me thinking about Jeff Sessions. This guy has got to go.
Recusing himself with anything that has to do with Russia leaves that Assistant AG who I don't trust for a New York second. That, and the lack of interest in pursuing Hillary just makes no sense. As someone suggested, maybe Rudy would reconsider the job.

Top US general: Trump ended second guessing of commanders in the field
Jamie McIntyreAug 31, 2017, 1:52 PM Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend offered a vote of thanks to President Trump, for ending the micromanagement of the Obama administration as he prepares to turn over his command of the U.S.-led counter-ISIS coalition, he
"We don't get second-guessed a lot. Our judgment here on the battlefield in the forward areas is trusted. And we don't get 20 questions with every action that happens on the battlefield and every action that we take," Townsend said. "I don't know of a commander in our armed forces that doesn't appreciate that."

I'll just say I'm disappointed with Sessions thus far. He doesn't seem to have the energy to be the ball-buster some of us were hoping for. Indeed, he comes across as something of a pussy.
