Mtierney,

Please refocus on the current Trump Administration, the most corrupt in our history. 

Please spare us your crocodile tears for Biden since there is no evidence that you wanted the Democratic Party to run a stronger candidate.

Monday June 8th

The week starts warm and dry then midsummer happens 

Today, clouds thin out and we should end up with afternoon sun and a high around 80⁰, humidity lingers. Low tonight mid 50⁰s

Tuesday, sunnier, less humid, a bit warmer, high in the low to mid 80⁰s, overnight lows lower 60⁰s

Wednesday, might see a shower in the morning, then chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. High mid 80⁰s, low around 70⁰

The back end of the week is still a bit unclear, but it is likely to include highs around 90⁰, moderate humidity, and possibly afternoon thunderstorms

exactly. People from anywhere in the country have standing to demonstrate against a federal agency.

and at this point she's backed herself into a corner and it will be awfully hard for her to de-escalate the troopers' tactics without losing face. I guess we'll find out if she's too stubborn to do the smart thing or will continue to double down on provoking the violence.

The outdoor security was transferred to the Newark police from the state police. 

And what if there were some bad actors who came in to stir up trouble in an attempt to discredit the protestors, and elicit a violent response from ICE and the police? It wouldn’t surprise me. 

It seems like a lot of people are lining up to throw Sherrill under the bus. I’m not saying this wasn’t a mistake. But the long knives seem to have come out on both sides. 

I'm not "lining up" with anyone. But Sherrill deserves all the criticism she's getting. It was a huge mistake to send a riot squad of troopers to Newark.

She should know better. Anyone paying the least bit of attention to history knew what she did was going to provoke violence instead of preventing it. Sure, send in the police, but in regular uniform, not armor and shields.

I hope she learned a lesson.

Canciones De Mi Padre (pick any song, I can't, I love them all!) - Linda Ronstadt. The second you mentioned her Mr.T, memories of her concert flooded my soul with my deep love for all the music of Mexico.

Yep. We have established that if Putin didn’t invade then there would be no war.

Holy crap. At one point in my game, I thought, the Knicks are just overmatched. This will be a short series. Did anybody else feel that way?
