Not every reference to a dog is an invocation of Bull Connor. This seems like a paranoid stretch on @PhilipRucker's part. Dogs are apparently the first line of defense at the WH. https://t.co/9dbXsx1t5W https://t.co/2oecSHILw7

FEDERALISM STRIKES AGAIN @AndrewCMCarthy says Constitutional requirement that POTUS needs states' approval before sending in troops is "more apparent than real." But then he wimps out & calls for state/Fed cooperation. Why should there be any question? https://t.co/0QGlQbdY0Q

*Another* citywide (BH) curfew tomorrow at 4 PM? At some point the terrorists will have won, no?

WaPo's @PhilipRucker says Trump's reference to "vicious dogs" guarding the WH was "a seeming reference to the law enforcement practices in America's segregationist past." Huh? Seems to me he's talking about the dogs guarding the WH! It's what they've got https://t.co/n5ClHOI7gM

Pretty bad (and lazy) example of bogus Extremists-of-Both-Sides framing. He's always positioning, this guy https://t.co/tVNQb3Llh2

Last night the Beverly Hills curfew was 8 PM.
Today it is 4 PM.
I guess they weren't that happy with the way things turned out last night. (Some looting, police used tear gas.)

Good column on Dem "tone-deafness" re riots — Kamala's spokesman's quote is Exhibit A. But if I thought a "fierce political backlash" would cripple Joe Biden in office–eg on immigration & SCOTUS nominees–I might vote for him. https://t.co/Fef8Hd4xAA

Security always lax at @SantaMonicaPlc, as I discovered when my car was smash-and-grabbed 2 years ago. Huge mall but no security guards. No cameras. Blame is on you for leaving things in your car. Prop 47 means cops don't really go after petty crime. https://t.co/k9G9deEP8I

Sets a huge precedent though –every time a country or region is troubled there'll be pressure to just let 'em all come here: 'But you let the Hong Kong people in. Are you saying they're better than us?' https://t.co/k1gYweD6VJ

Turns out would be looters did remove these panels and try to get into the store. Not clear that they did (one report said yes, one said they moved on to Alexander McQueen). https://t.co/7xuxpd5nOV

Skeptical. When has 'use diplomacy to change an international organization from the inside' worked? Seems like 'exit' is way more powerful than 'voice'–even if we want to rejoin later. https://t.co/vocrXL9vM3

Is the Floyd killing and subsequent protests/riots a relief from the pandemic for some? 1) Can go outside again! 2) Unlike in pandemic, the roles are familiar. Everyone knows their lines.
