No man born with a living soul can be working for the clampdown

Trump and Barr have a fever, and the prescription is more fascism:
President Trump announced on Wednesday that the Justice Department would send hundreds of additional federal agents into cities to confront a rise in shootings and other crime, escalating his dark rhetoric about urban crime and bashing local elected officials who have been wary of intervention by his administration.
Mr. Trump, who has sought to make “law and order” a campaign theme and denounced “Democrat-run cities” as he seeks re-election, recounted anecdotes and statistics about a recent spate of gun violence in places like Chicago, while blaming local politicians and liberals for crime and criticizing the progressive “defund the police” slogan.
“We will never defund the police,” the president said. “We will hire more great police. We want to make law enforcement stronger, not weaker. What cities are doing is absolute insanity.”
Standing beside Mr. Trump, Attorney General William P. Barr said the Justice Department would send roughly 200 additional agents to Chicago to bolster violent crime task forces that work with local police. The surge will build on previously announced plans to send about as many agents to Kansas City, Mo., and more cities would be added, he said.
The bridges Trump keeps building between himself and Nixon are a useful reminder that he’s a logical progression in the devolution of the Republican Party, not an aberration.
Last night, they teargassed the mayor of Portland:
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was hit with tear gas fired by federal officers late on Wednesday as he stood alongside protesters massed again outside a courthouse. The Democratic mayor strapped on goggles and coughed heavily as the noxious fumes wafted past.
“It’s hard to breathe, it’s a lot harder to breathe than I thought,” Wheeler told The Washington Post. “This is abhorrent. This is beneath us.”
Wheeler’s brush with chemical irritants came after he made a contentious, and at times tense, attempt to talk with protesters. In the hours before the federal agents cracked down on demonstrators, Wheeler was repeatedly heckled and screamed at as he attempted to explain his position at a time when protests have gripped his city and President Trump has sent federal officers to his streets.
As Trump keeps getting more desperate this is just going to keep getting worse.
