All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[NineBerry]

There is going to be a "convention" where the Republicans nominate their candidate in the coming weeks. They will elect Trump because he won all the primaries in all the states. As far as I understand the system, at the primaries delegates representing possible candidates are elected who then elect the candidate at the convention. Most states seem to force the delegate to vote for the candidate they originally represented.

"Watch this magic trick. In my left hand I have the virus, in my right I have 50 years of Biden politics. Now, if I put this hankerchief over..."

He slammed Biden for his record on crime, trade, China, infrastructure, the economy, the military, and at one point suggested that hundreds of thousands could be dead by now had the former vice president been in charge when the coronavirus struck. Bizarrely, Trump also slammed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee for his role in the Obama administration's mobilization against the H1N1 virus, which was far more efficient and cost tens of thousands fewer lives than Trump's missteps over the past few months.

If anyone's wondering what the hell the malignant shit-funnel is talking about when he accuses Joe Biden of wanting to "abolish suburbs", it's this:

Trump Targets Efforts to Desegregate U.S. Suburbs
Targeting HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, the president said on Twitter that enforcing housing desegregation would have a “devastating impact.”


President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would reverse a federal rule that promotes fair housing and sets desegregation as a national priority. The policy is known as Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, or AFFH; it’s a provision of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, signed into law a week after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

“At the request of many great Americans who live in the Suburbs, and others,” Trump tweeted, “I am studying the AFFH housing regulation that is having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas. Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE. Not fair to homeowners, I may END!”

Trump was specifically aiming at an Obama rule about how to finally implement the policy, a mandate (on paper only) for more than 50 years due to federal reluctance to address racial segregation. It might come as a surprise to the president, but his administration has already tackled this policy: The White House took steps starting in 2018 to gut the rule by arguing that it was too burdensome—not because desegregation would have a “devastating impact” on suburban America.

As he’s done time and time again, Trump said the quiet part out loud. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has taken numerous steps to undermine key rules and policies that promote desegregation as a requirement for jurisdictions that receive federal housing dollars. But under Housing Secretary Ben Carson, the agency has carefully framed those revisions in procedural terms—namely as ways to reduce the paperwork load for housing authorities. In his tweet, Trump essentially admitted that there’s a different motive: Eliminating the rule will reduce the pressure on local governments to provide space and opportunity for Black families in affluent white neighborhoods.

“We finalized the AFFH rule at HUD to guarantee the promise of fair housing to every American,” said former Housing Secretary Julián Castro in an email. “It was the result of decades of work, sparked by leaders of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.”

Trump’s late-night directive appeared to come from nowhere. Housing policy is far from dominating the news cycle at the moment, as the Russian bounty scandal continues to expand and coronavirus cases spike across large parts of the U.S. The president may have gotten the idea from Stanley Kurtz, who wrote a June 30 article in National Review about his research into Biden’s housing plans. It wasn’t matched by any segment on Fox News, which is how the president usually takes in the news. (Of course, for that matter, it isn’t certain that the president wrote the tweet.) Kurtz’s story about Democratic efforts to add more housing to neighborhoods with exclusionary zoning policies came with a sensational hook: “Joe Biden and the Democrats want to abolish America’s suburbs.”

Trump commanded law and order. "It has to show!"

Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off. The tactic appears to be another escalation in federal force deployed on Portland city streets, as federal officials and President Donald Trump have said they plan to “quell” nightly protests outside the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center that have lasted for more than six weeks.
