He's at a memorial for 5 cops shot dead by a black supremacist.
There is a time and place to lecture America and police departments, but not at the memorial service, in front of the families of those dead cops that went to work that night to protect the protester's rights.

Ok. I can see that. I still think read fairly, and in the context of the overall discussion I. The country, it was actually an attempt to contextualize that the two sides were not enemies, but were in fact aiming towards the same goals.
I think his point was that by demonizing and refusing to listen to the other side, extremeists can flourish to divide us. Which seems to be a thoughtful and nuanced postition, although maybe the timing was poor.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

As for the rest, you are stating definitively that there was criminal activity with respects to the Trump Campaign in terms of collusion with Russia. It boils down to a cognitive dissonance... you believe so much that Trump is guilty, without any evidence, that it becomes real for you. Real as any fact. Real as the sun rising in the east.
Only it's not real.

Then support your Obama political divisiveness theory by referencing his language during a single speech in Dallas.
The transcript hardly supports your claim, even if you were a stellar linguist who specialized in identifying subversive language.
On top of that, you critique Obama on general lack of tact/self awareness.
Obama can be criticized for plenty. Yours might be some of the laziest and backwards considering the lengths you go to defend DT

Again, if you approached his comments in good faith, I think you’d see they weren’t divisive. Arresting a distinguished Harvard professor for breaking unit his own house was stupid. And his son would be black. Why do you find either of those statements to be divisive?To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

The PA Supreme Court released its new congressional map. There's a nice gadget in the article that lets you compare the Republican-drawn map with the court-drawn one.
In landmark gerrymandering case, the state high court splits only 13 counties, upending the previous, Republican-drawn map.
Trump won 12 of 18 districts in 2016. Under the new map he would've won 10 of 18. All analysis I've seen suggests the Dems benefit from the new map. But it's also a lot more geographically coherent and compact, and fewer counties and cities are divided by district lines. Republicans will fight it but unclear how - the US Supreme Court already rejected their case. Lower level federal courts have no authority to overrule a State Supreme Court and the ruling was based on the PA Constitution, not the US constitution.
