An obsolete complaint, with apologies to gay and fashionable Burgers (did i leave anyone out? ;-))...
Death March of Progress, or, Bringing up the Rear
Our outfitters tell us, "Be gay!
Once slaves, thanks to fashion, today
You can angrily strut
With a hungry boy's butt,
Enjoy freedom of choice, and go play...
Because, baby, you've come a looong way!"

Didn't General Dynamics install locking, grocery cart wheels on those F-16's sent to Turkey so when a pilot tries to extent the Ottoman caliphate border the landing gears on the F-16's automatically extend and the wheels lockup??
[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] A loud blast hit the Libyan capital Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... early on Tuesday, residents said, with the noise audible across much of the city and dark smoke in the sky.
Local television stations reported that a jacket wallah on a cycle of violence had detonated a device at a roundabout where the main highway from the west enters the city, but there was no immediate official confirmation.
If confirmed as an attack, it would be the first for more than a year.
"I was driving on the motorway early morning at about 7.30 and I heard a massive explosion... Most of the other vehicles turned back after we saw black smoke in the sky," said a witness who asked not to be named.
Libya has been convulsed by political chaos and warfare for much of the period since the 2011 revolution that ousted Muammar Qadaffy ...Proof that a madman with money will be politely received for at least 42 years until his people get tired of him and kill him... The country is split between the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) and the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA) loyal to Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly... in Benghazi.
In June, the GNA ended a 14-month LNA assault on the capital and forced it to retreat, bringing a close to months of heavy bombardment.

[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] A unit of the French Barkhane military force has killed a civilian by accident, the French army said in a statement on Tuesday.
The army said a bus driving at high speed towards a military convoy did not slow down despite visual warnings and a warning shot. Bullets from a second warning shot bounced off the ground and punctured the windscreen of the bus, injuring three passengers, one mortally, the army said.
The Barkhane force presents its sincere condolences to the family of the victim, the army said.

Is the Red/Blue 'do supposed to be an ironic gesture expressing that there's no difference between the two evil capitalist hetero cis-normative political parties?
Over the weekend, around a hundred #BLM rioters went to San Jose, Cal. Mayor @sliccardo’s home and vandalized it. They also burned a US & pro-police flag at the scene. pic.twitter.com/LKRGGtboTH

Screw this POS: San Jose: Lawsuit over violent Donald Trump rally settled When they were ushered outside a campaign rally, supporters of then-candidate Donald Trump didn’t expect the rally to erupt into violence. They expected their police department to protect them. But they said that’s not what happened.
And now four years later, the lawsuit, filed in July 2016, was quietly settled last week. The 20 plaintiffs were not awarded any money, but as part of the March 26 settlement, the police department agreed to provide additional training to its officers on crowd control. It also specified that Mayor Sam Liccardo and Police Chief Eddie Garcia meet privately with plaintiffs to discuss the changes and apologize for how the situation played out.
Liccardo issued a statement saying such violence has no place in civil society, and that it’s “all the more reprehensible” when used to intimidate or dissuade others from free speech or political expression. Liccardo also assured the “blameless individuals” who were assaulted at the Trump rally that the police department will do “everything in its power to provide a safe environment at these events.”
“Where we can do better, we will learn and improve on our strategies, tactics, and planning with the goal of achieving safety for all,” he said.
However, according to the order, neither party has admitted liability or responsibility.
The suit originally named Liccardo and Garcia, but, after a judge dismissed charges against Garcia and attendees dropped the charges against Liccardo, it later shifted to seven other city officiers. Judge Lucy Koh, of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court, said that while the city was not liable for the incident, Garcia’s comments afterward gave weight to officers’ allegedly unlawful conduct.

A group photo in front of Liccardo's home should also have been part of the settlement.

The political violence began (to my knowledge) with the attacking of people exiting a Trump rally in San Jose. They know a week mayor when they see one.

#2, that's not good enough, Frank. The plaintiffs should have held out for a large cash settlement, not so much so they can profit but so the mayor and police chief can be punished.

After witnessing the last 6 months of every fold being met with escalation, why would a person believe that a vote for Biden would be a return to normalcy?
In fact I believe an elected Biden will cause massive riots - some in part like riots in cities when their sportsball team wins, some in part as increasing power especially politically, and then the blue areas especially the true blue places knowing that the damage is actually farming federal dollars which they get to earmark.
[NYPOST] Protests erupted in southern Los Angeles on Monday night after the fatal shooting of a black man by police.A demonstration took place at the scene of the shooting earlier on Monday afternoon when sheriff’s deputies opened fire on a suspect during a foot chase in the area of Westmont, according to CBSLA.
The man who was killed, identified by a local Black Lives Matters group as Dijon Kizzee, was riding his bike when the deputies tried to stop him for "code violations related to his bike riding."
The sheriff’s department said the man expeditiously departed at a goodly pace and a fight ensued when the deputies caught up to him.
The man allegedly punched a cop in the face, dropping the clothes he was holding along with the firearm.

WHOOP WHOOP "Avez-vous Grey Poupon?"
"Mais oui, je possède un soupçon!"
He goes for the mustard...
The popo gets flustered...
PEW PEW and adieu to Dijon.
[Breitbart] A suspected member of Antifa — who was allegedly armed with a flamethrower — cried in the fetal position before his arrest during a Saturday evening protest in Green Bay, Wisconsin, according to law enforcement.
WBAY reports;
Matthew Banta, 23, is charged with obstructing an officer and two counts of felony bail jumping.
The criminal complaint says Banta "is known to be a violent Antifa member who incites violence in otherwise relatively peaceful protests." Police say he’s known as "Commander Red."
A responding officer says he saw four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats. One man was wearing a metal helmet with goggles and military-style gear with multiple pouches, and was carrying an Antifa flag. When the officer pulled his squad car in front of the group, they ran away. The officer caught Banta, who was carrying the flag, and says Banta "dropped into the fetal position and began crying."
"It’s worrisome when people associated with Antifa come here to Green Bay from out of town for the purpose of protesting here or for the purposes of committing violent acts," said Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith.
"An unlawful assembly is three or more people who gather in such a manner where property damage, or personal injury is likely to occur," Smith added. "We determined this was happening on Washington Street. What was happening was a large group of people had blocked traffic on the street had engaged in throwing a bottle at somebody, were pulling up manhole covers off the street and were blocking traffic."
Police said 15 protesters were arrested after the demonstration was declared unlawful.
In early August, Banta was charged with biting, kicking, and pointing firearm at a police officer at a protest in Waupaca.

Woodrow, look at the first sentence of the article. That information is not reflected in the quote from WBAY, the local Green Bay television station, but going to the WBAY article yields:
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - A Neenah man had a flamethrower, smoke grenades and fireworks during a demonstration in Green Bay Saturday night, according to police and prosecutors.
Matthew Banta, 23, is charged with obstructing an officer and two counts of felony bail jumping.
Given that no one had touched him, I wonder was the dropping down crying thingy a planned response to make the police look bad on video?

I don't think the term is Framing the Conversation, but essentially it is.
Part of it is some classic Pallywood Propaganda. The other part is if said person goes to trial, especially a jury trial, the video might help sway a jurist. Like Mullah Richard said, a meterball flop intended to garnish sympathy.
Remember that professional agitator up in Buffalo who took that really weird, unnatural fall and bonked his head on the pavement?
Or saying, or even yelling I Can't Breath; anyone who has been in a choking and/or compressed chest experience will tell you that a patient might be able to get out a whimper, might, but nowhere near a normal volume and annunciation.
So when his case is presented, he is presented as some poor pillsbury doughboy who decided to get out of his momma's basement to exercise his right to free speech and assembly and got jumped by a bunch of amped up jackboot thugs, instead of a trained grenadier with a proven violent history.
[TheBlaze] Of the 175 arrested over the week, 34 were cuffed for curfew violations and additional charges ranging from carrying concealed weapons to burglary and possession of controlled substances, WITI said.
More than 20 firearms were seized as well, the station said.
The riots, fires, and destruction got so bad that Wisconsin's governor called out the National Guard to help. Some of the lowlights have included:
A rioter brandishing a gun and pointing it directly in the face of BlazeTV reporter Elijah Schaffer — while he was filming.
A group of apparent street fighters — some armed with rifles and handguns — staring down a sheriff's vehicle as fires burned in the background.
A law enforcement officer falling face-first on the street after apparently getting struck in the head with an object — and someone from the surrounding mob yelling that the victim "got bricked!" as others cheered and applauded.
An elderly man getting viciously attacked after fighting back against looters of a burning business. He was knocked down, flattened on a sidewalk, and ended up with a bloody face.
TFSA sources have said no Syrian mercenaries have been transferred to Azerbaijan. Yet. They've heard the first could be sent as soon as this week. Not from a particular faction; men with desirable technical abilities will be handpicked by TSK.
Turkish police have arrested the Islamic State militant group’s top figure in Turkey, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said on Tuesday.
Soylu said on Twitter “important plans” had been seized along with the militant. No further details were immediately given.
Becomes even funnier when it turns out this is the *8th* time they have arrested him..
Maybe this time, he'll actually stay behind bars..novelty to have an *actual* terrorist in a Turkish jail, rather than, well anyone elsehttps://t.co/PSiBjRlMfi
[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] Amerli and Tuz Khurmatu districts, east of Saladin Governorate, confirmed today, Tuesday, the containment of terrorist attacks after adopting the plans of multiple security cordons.
The governor of Tuz Khurmatu, Hasan Zain al-Abidin, told alghadeer that all areas and villages surrounding the district have not witnessed any terrorist attacks over the past months, due to the adoption of multiple security cordons.
Zain al-Abidin added that ISIS resorted to bombing warfare in areas far from Tuz district because it failed to threaten residential areas or security sectors, pointing out that the security fortifications cut off all communication routes between ISIS bandidosDeath Eaters in eastern Saladin and southwestern Kirkuk.
Tuz Khurmatu district is located 45 km east of Tikrit ...birthplace of Saddam Hussein... and south of the city of Kirkuk. It administratively belongs to Saladin Governorate and is inhabited by Arabs, Kurds, and Turkmen.
In Amerli district, no terrorist attacks have been recorded for several months, except of bombings that targeted security forces and al-Hashd al-Shaabi at the farthest points from the district center, according to District Commissioner Adel Shakour.
Shakour told alghadeer that the security forces adopted the method fences supported by surveillance cameras and advanced monitoring devices, which limited the movements of ISIS bandidosDeath Eaters and prevented them from approaching citizens and security points in Amerli.
Amerli district is located 120 kilometers northeast of Tikrit, near the Hamrin mountain ranges, has a population of approximately 44 thousand citizens.
ISIS still maintains sleeper cells throughout the country, and gradually began to return to its old method of guerrilla warfare it used before 2014, taking advantage of security gaps in these areas.
