Lovely and poignant piece.
Great editorial...but from some of the stuff I've heard from people who knew Dave Grohl earlier in his career...it's difficult for me to say he is a "really great guy".
We're really in for it, I don't understand how the GOP don't see the fucking red lights and sirens blaring and don't shit themselves in a panic.

They aren't neglecting anything because we don't actually need them for anything.
The white moderate is a strange breed
I'm in white-moderate land (southwestern PA), and I'd assume the argument here is that most people still believe that the police are a net-good and necessary, but that reform is the solution rather than doing away with police funding or cutting departments/officers entirely. As for the statue thing, I think most are for removing confederate statues and ambivalent towards Columbus, but are against removing statues of, say, Washington, Jefferson, etc. (i.e. any of the founding fathers). I'm curious as to how the poll is defining the statue issue.

that's a bit reductive of a comment and understates a big problem in progress. The whole article is sobering to say the least. Over half of Hispanic people polled oppose removing Confederate statues and 52% of hispanic people polled shifting police resources.
reality is most people don't care about what doesnt affect them personally.
Was going to say the same as far as statues go. No real percentage of the population is for removing founding fathers and no serious people have said anything about it, besides republicans trying to change the narrative. Hopefully the poll has a proper question here.
Let's not forget that Ron Johnson was also one of the traitors that went to Russia for the 4th of July holiday so he could come back and claim Vlad's meddling was no big deal.
still quite wrong. People are rarely if ever consistent in all aspects of their beliefs. Tribalism leads to tunnel vision. Be critical of everyone including progressive allies.
a large majority of Black Americans are what would be called moderate with a small minority leaning conservative and a smaller minority conservative, and, yet, the same problem typically doesn't happen with Black Americans (aside from the latter two on some issues to varying degrees based on which of the two groups you're talking about).
(For more clarification, the divide is more likely not on politics but ingrained unconscious (or conscious in the case of right wingers) colorism across the spectrum)

With undecideds leaning +22 towards Biden, according to the thread.
fun fact, Trump took Ohio +8 in 2016. If the lead doesn't shrink, that'ss a +12 improvement for Biden?
I'm really superstitious lol. Until Wolf Blitzer calls him the president-elect, I'm nervous about those types of boasts.
And y'all think they won't push whatever bullshit Barr does in October
CNN at least has replayed the Maxwell clip repeatedly today.
Defunding the police is a political goal most Americans haven't heard until a month and a half ago.

We have seen a dramatic shift in public opinion on this issue, I think more than anything, the protests (both this and earlier rounds) did this.
Maybe a few more police station has to get burned for people to see this issue more clearly, but that poll is mostly encouraging to me.
p.s.
69% supports BLM. The WaPo is burying 2 ledes there.
I've got no energy to be annoyed at the press falling for Trump reading off a piece of paper again.
Because he'll revert to standard behavior as always, and they'll revert to criticizing him.
It's a good thing he has started advocating for mask usage. It won't shield him from blame for all the people who died and got sick because it took him so long, and it'll hopefully help less people get sick and die.

Department of Homeland Security Law Enforcement Agencies Require Expanded Oversight
The potential for expanded interior Homeland Security law enforcement activity raises questions about whether components of the department being called upon are subject to appropriate training, preparation and accountability.
It includes agencies like the TSA, CPB, USCIS, Law Enforcement Training Center, the Coast Guard, etc. Anything related to international travel, border protection, and border enforcement.

As the above article mentions, these agencies were never designed for anything like what they'll be tasked to do, and none of these agents and officers will have any idea what they're doing or how to do it.
Honestly I think it is a mute point at this point. The people know trump, and they know his pattern.
The media is such shit. The bar is SO low that this is what we get bombarded with.
Do these media fools not realize that 4 more years of Trump likely means the ends of all their careers?
Imagine being Susan Collins and thinking that not endorsing him is good enough when she has failed to hold him accountable every step of the way.
Biden is going to win ohio.
BIDEN WILL WIN 41 STATES!!!
IF I SAY IT ENOUGH, IT BECOMES REALITY !!!!!!!!!
All these fucks care about is the horse race and ratings, not a single one of them cares if the country burns down around them. All the focus for ire is on Fox/OAN when the truth is that all cable media is garbage that needs to be burned down.
Oh so its not that Trump is a racist and shitty president? Thanks for letting us know that you have no real convictions Sue (as if it wasn't clear already).
I'm not sure their orders aren't 'hit the protesters with your sticks, and maybe pepper spray them'.60,000

Team Trump desperately wants to make this election about statues and defunding the police. Do not fall into their trap. They want to change the narrative and distort the words of people asking for progress.
Dems can fix a lot of this shit without making it an issue that we have to constantly explain.
The biggest issue of the 2020 election should be why Trump let 150,000 Americans die from a preventable cause.

Was he one of the names in the leaked Black Book? Even if he wasn't, he certainly has friends who were in it, including Trump.
Biden's been pretty smart on that front. He's been making the election about the economy and the coronavirus response thus far.
Due to the sheer volume of undecideds in their poll, I would guess.
Yes, pretty much yes.
I....I dont see, hear or even think they have any game plan anymore to hold to whatever they have in a few months
The wheels are falling off and they are hurtling towards the brick wall.
I'm kind of amazed at how well he's been walking that line.
