8/16/20: Sunday,
President Trump spent his 387th day, since taking office, at one of
the private resorts or clubs he owns. That means more than a quarter of his entire
term as president has been spent doing nothing, save for hobnobbing with rich
pals and riding around the links and cheating on golf scores. He plays golf
again: Round #291 since he became president.

MEANWHILE, heavily-armed right-wing groups are showing up to harass Black Lives Matters protesters. In Portland, members of the Proud Boys used mace on opponents and fired paint balls and, reportedly, a pellet gun. Since they were carrying AR-15s and wearing body armor, the potential for serious trouble was clear. In Kalamazoo, Michigan, Proud Boy forces clashed with anti-racism protesters. Several people were injured. White nationalists showed up at Stone Mountain to confront anti-racism crowds, but only “minor altercations” resulted.
Bloodshed threatens.

Proud Boy on the offense. |
Trump does find time, once he comes off the links, to retweet a post by Brandon Straka. Straka, who claims to be a former liberal who has seen the light, said of Democratic-run cities, that people should leave those dens of crime.
“Let them rot,” Straka writes.
Trump endorsed the idea in a retweet. So, add city
dwellers to a growing list of Americans the president doesn’t care about – and
in most cases, actively hates. (See: 8/17/20.)
