Trump turned from a freedom fighter to an authoritarian in about a week
(CNN) The moment was set for TV.

The uprising law - while it did not amount to invoking the 1807 law - the uprising law - to summon federal forces to American cities, the option remained open and rulers recommended calling in more National Guard forces.

If you don't think all of these things are related, consider that George Floyd lost his job as a guard when he gets coronavirus. Floyd and the officer who killed him worked in the same bar. This is a small tragedy that has sparked great protest because it is a symptom of something far greater, at a time when many Americans feel fear, fatigue, and confusion from the limitations of ordinary life - work, school, regular social interaction.

Read about his event, as part of a slow return to campaign outside his home, from CNN's Erik Bradner.
What should Biden do? A hearing like Monday’s session shows that he is aware of the problem but does not present a clear and presidential plan for how to fix it.
This would be an ongoing question for Biden: Is it sufficient not to be Trump and to vote with a promise of autism rather than division, or does he need to provide a clear vision of America? trump bible
