The Proud Boys violate those laws every weekend. Law enforcement pat them on the back, hand them water bottles.

Shit, those are powerful graphs. Considering how many people lost their homes in the 2008 crisis, what would this look like without foreclosure/eviction injunctions? How many millions would be homeless going into winter?

“This should be a moment for national unity where we all pull together as Americans to meet this challenge head on with the same might and muscle that put a man on the moon,” Whitmer said, as she pivoted towards her criticisms of the President.
“Instead our head of state has spent the last seven months denying science, ignoring his own health experts, stoking distrust, fomenting anger, and giving comfort to those who spread fear and hatred and division,” she said.

The plotters were responding directly to her handling of the pandemic in her state.
In late June, Fox posted on Facebook a video in which he complained about the state’s judicial system and COVID-19 restrictions on gyms operating in Michigan.

This makes me wonder if the nominee has been tested lately, since she was standing next to 45 at the WH superspreader event/announcement. The administration loves to falsely claim that anyone who had coronavirus is immune, while scientists are still trying to understand reinfection cases:

I’ll tag this with a note of caution. Doug Thompson is… an interesting guy; never met him personally but have hung out on his BBS on and off since 2004’ish (though it’s fairly quiet now). I do not think he’s someone you would classify as a conspiracy theorist; I do think his mistrust of politicians has been well earned, I don’t have a feel for whether his sources are robust but he does seem to get the occasional inside scoop.
