Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, A Michigan sheriff opposed to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, told a crowd of about 350 that the governor’s quarantine measures are akin to mass arrest of the state’s residents.

Sounds like he is on the air tonight, and doesn’t have much bad to say about the homegrown terrorists who wanted to kidnap Governor Whitmer and essentially try to stage a coup over the MI government.
Could Dar Leaf be one of the sheriffs/law enforcement personnel that the Michigan AG said had attended fundraisers with the “milita” terrorists/extremists?

Well look at that.

Sheriff Leaf:

“I haven't read everything up on it, I've got other duties to do, it wasn't our investigation. I was shocked, did not see this coming with those guys, but still we can't convict them in the media here” Leaf said.

“Nessel said the suspects called on other members to identify the home addresses of law enforcement officers in order to target them”

Now who would have that kind of information? 🧐 😤

Trump just backed out of negotiating a Coronavirus stimulus bill.

This looks like an election strategy - but it won't help him win.

What he's really doing here is giving McConnell & the GOP an ex post facto excuse (political cover) for prioritizing ACB's SCOTUS confirmation.
Just yesterday, a poll was released that showed Americans overwhelmingly wanted the Senate to prioritize passing a Covid relief bill, *before* considering a new Supreme Court nomination - by a whopping 74% to 26%.

So the real question then, is this:

Why is Trump acceding to the GOP's priorities over his own by making such a wildly unpopular move?

*Nothing* is more important to the GOP now than ACB.

I'm sure they are allowing him to believe she can help him in the election.

Now that the @nytimes has exposed the deep financial trouble that Donald Trump is in, can we revisit all those times he has used *our* Presidency to funnel money into his failing properties?
Trump’s Turnberry property showed losses for four straight years.
Remember the shady deal he made to lease our USPS building to build his hotel in D.C.?

Of course, after he got it, he welshed on the parts that he agreed to.

“As the groups became suspicious, [James] Fortune vanished

But the wired money came from a Georgia group with ties to a QAnon House candidate and a network of other Republican figures”

“Right around the same time that Fortune was attempting to infiltrate progressive North Carolina groups, a so-called documentary film crew called “Zeitgeist Pictures” began interviewing six liberal groups in Wisconsin for what they claimed was a documentary about voting rights.”
“The groups became suspicious, though, after the filmmakers began asking whether the groups were willing to break the law to illegally register voters.
[...]
The activists interviewed by the crew [identified] one of their “interviewers” as O’Keefe associate Christian Hartsock”

“Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us. Climate change continues unabated, as does North Korea's nuclear program.“
“The president has ceded influence to a Russian adversary who puts bounties on the heads of American military personnel, and his trade war against China has only harmed America's farmers and manufacturers”

It goes on to say, "only FDR and Abraham Lincoln came into office facing more monumental crises than the next president."
