You can burn a flag you own as a protest… burning a stolen one is another matter.

I haven’t read the article and the WP link is behind a paywall. Is being investigated as a ‘hate crime’? Or as ‘destruction of private property’? Both? What is the focus?

I didn’t wish to assume (learned this the hard way)

Tarrio, the chairman of the male-chauvinist organization with ties to white nationalism, said in an interview with The Washington Post he would plead guilty to destruction of property, pay the church the cost of the banner and surrender to authorities if that criminal charge is filed.

A spokesman for D.C. police said the investigation is continuing and they consider the incident a potential hate crime.

The attention seeking virtue-signaling snowflake has made it clear he committed the crime as regards destruction of the someone else's property... he wants everyone to know about that. He claims it's not a hate crime though. The investigation is proceeding as if it might be.

I'd rather they realised it was the president and just didn't bother putting him through as they realised it would be a waste of time.

@thols2

Stephen Colbert does a good take on those missed calls at the end of this clip. 🙂

I'd guess it's just a question of the american police mopping up these far right groups with fines and seizures of vehicles and guns etc. now the election is done?

oh.

On the american christian scale of 'aryan to ****', he's probably just about the acceptable lighter shade of brown. Just about.

it seems n.i.g.g.e.r. is a swear word?

lighter shades of brown are apparently ok for christian Patriots.

Appologies to the mods, I'm not trying to circumvent the profanity filter, , I'm just trying to make a point.

Once the rest of the White supremacists, sorry Neo-fascists, in the Proud Boys work out that he's not, they're going to be pretty cheesed off, don't you think....

Nicola Sturgeon at today's press conference emphasised that it's illegal to travel into Scotland unless your purpose is "essential". I'm wondering what action Police Scotland will take if Trump tries to leave Prestwick Airport.

Surely they could nick him for being a general menace to the human race? They can find a way.

ooph, that's poetic justice... the one thing he craves is accepetance, and it's the one thing he'll never get. Ever. Now he's just an internet meme.

If trump had any humility he might reflect, but I can't see that happening.

White supremacists, sorry Neo-fascists, in the Proud Boys work out

The Proud Boys describe themselves as 'Alt-Light' rather than 'Alt-Right' and claim not to reaaaally be White Supremacists (whilst non the less displaying no shortage of aggression to non-white groups, communities and causes) but have generally been grouped broadly  together with other White Supremacist rightwing groups by the authorities because of the threat they pose to those non white groups. They however prefer to describe themselves as 'Western Chauvinists"

Clearly Taririo at the helm they're an equal opportunities employer (so long has you have at least one Y chromosome).

However Trump made the white supremacist link - when asked to condemn White Supremacists thats when he made his 'Proud Boys Stand By and Stand Down' remark. Which the Proud Boys appear to have taken as an endorsement and interpret as an instruction to 'carry on as you were'.

It will be really funny to see what happens if Trump does try to fly to scotland. I suspect it will be back on the plane or face arrest

I've known for a long time now (three and half years I think) that Trumps last day in office would be on my 50th birthday.

The biggest birthday treat was always  going to be seeing his face when he has to give it all up - I had no idea I might have a chance to see it up close and personal 🙂

If he is still the President at the point I don't think anyone is arresting or even stopping him

unfortunately 🙁

And let me second that.  It's just another reminder that amongst all the shouting of 'commie bastards' and the such like there are still a good number of thinking adults

No one is above the law. He may have immunity from arrest but he cannot get off the plane or go to his golf course in breach of the law.

Somebody wrote this with a straight face:

Potus wants lawsuit brought by his niece thrown out

Donald Trump is seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit claiming he defrauded his niece out of an inheritance worth tens of millions of dollars, accusing her of embracing “conspiracy theories” in her quest to consume him with lawsuits after he leaves the White House.

Plaintiff makes outlandish and incredulous accusations in her complaint, which is laden with conspiracy theories more befitting a Hollywood screenplay than a pleading in a legal action,” the lawyers, who also represent Robert Trump’s estate, said in a filing yesterday in a New York state court in Manhattan.

This is worth a watch. Demonstrates very clearly just what a lying, thieving bunch of opportunistic hypocrites the GOP are. Tomorrow is going to be interesting..

The police? they may not be able to arrest him but they can sure as heck block him from going anywhere

It would be quite something for the police to block a sitting president.  The next day of course all would be good but it would be quite something to try and block the president.

He may be the president but he is not above the law - UK or US as has been made quite clear.

Presumably he would have immunity from prosecution but not from removal? I don't know

I assumed it would have been Border Force deciding to let him off the plane and then Police Scotland cuffing him as soon as he left the building 🙂

So Georgia run off...

Dem candidates have a 1.5% advantage in the polls

But are reps still shy trumpers when they're not really cutting for trump?

Early ballots have been “pre processed” this time(signature checked etc) so they can be fed straight into the machines at 7PM.
