I stand corrected.

Fred Trump wasn't arrested at the rally but he was detained by police for 'refusing to disperse from a parade (KKK rally that turned into a brawl) when requested to do so'..

Trump responds to growing number of CEOs dropping out of manufacturing council
President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to criticize the three CEOs who dropped out of his manufacturing council, saying there are other business leaders ready to take their place.

"For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place," Trump tweeted. "Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!"

Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier announced Monday that he would depart the council that's focused on fostering American manufacturing jobs due to Trump's failure to denounce white supremacists in his initial response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank and Intel CEO Brian Krzanich followed suit later on Monday.

I'd really like to hear an example of when the CBO has been correct about anything. So we'll no longer send billions of tax payer dollars to insurance companies & that'll cost us 200 billion.. makes sense.

Thanks for the article

It seems really vague and even states a few times that he may have been a bystander. As well as him being the only one detained that was not charged. Was he their as a kkk member? Maybe but I certainly don't want to live in a country that would be willing to ruin your life based on what I just read.

It also states a few times in separate news articles all 7 of those arrested/detained were wearing klan robes.

Whats up with this?

Even Trump supporters should be concerned about this precedent.

DOJ Seeks IP Addresses That Accessed Inauguration Protest Site: DreamHost is fighting a federal request for 1.3 million IP addresses that access disruptJ20.org. The warrant for the addresses was served to DreamHost in July, reportedly as part of an investigation into some of the more violent inauguration protests.

Tech firm is fighting a federal demand for data on visitors to an anti-Trump website

A Los Angeles-based tech company is resisting a federal demand for more than 1.3 million IP addresses to identify visitors to a website set up to coordinate protests on Inauguration Day — a request whose breadth the company says violates the Constitution.

“What we have is a sweeping request for every single file we have” in relation to DisruptJ20.org, said Chris Ghazarian, general counsel for DreamHost, which hosts the site. “The search warrant is not only dealing with everything in relation to the website but also tons of data about people who visited it.”

The request also covers emails between the site’s organizers and people interested in attending the protests, any deleted messages and files, as well as subscriber information — such as names and addresses — and unpublished photos and blog posts that are stored in the site’s database, according to the warrant and Ghazarian.

The request, which DreamHost made public Monday, set off a storm of protest among civil liberties advocates and within the tech community.

“What you’re seeing is pure prosecutorial overreach by a politicized Justice Department, allowing the Trump administration to use prosecutors to silence critics,” Ghazarian said.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia, which sought the warrant, declined to comment. But prosecutors, in court documents, argued that the request was constitutional and there was no reason for DreamHost not to comply.

The search warrant was issued July 12 by a Superior Court judge in the District of Columbia and served on DreamHost on July 17.

The request marked an escalation from January when prosecutors investigating the protests asked DreamHost to preserve records and issued a subpoena for a limited set of data on the site. The company complied with both requests, Ghazarian said.

In April, the federal government charged more than 200 people in connection with the protests that injured six police officers and damaged store windows and at least one vehicle. The charges included property damage and assault.

After the search warrant was served, DreamHost raised concerns with Assistant U.S. Attorney John W. Borchert, according to court documents. The company thought the request was overbroad and that it sought information — such as draft blog posts — in violation of the 1980 Privacy Protection Act.

Prosecutors responded July 28 with a motion to compel the company to turn over the data on DisruptJ20. “That website was used in the development, planning, advertisement and organization of a violent riot that occurred in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2017,” U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips said in the motion. DreamHost’s concern about breadth “simply is not a sufficient basis . . . to refuse to comply with the warrant.”

The prosecutors also argued that the warrant identified the “precise categories of information” that DreamHost must provide and “precise limitations” on the information that the government may seize. They also argued that the Privacy Protection Act does not preclude the government from seizing even “protected” materials with a search warrant.

On Friday, DreamHost filed a reply arguing that the warrant’s breadth violates the Fourth Amendment because it failed to describe with “particularity” the items to be seized. Asking for “all records or other information” pertaining to the site, including “all files, databases and database records” is far too broad, the company said.

The warrant also raises First Amendment issues, it said. Visitors to the protest site should have the right to keep their identities private, but if they fear that the Justice Department will have information on them, that will chill their freedom of speech and association, the company argued.

The company said that the warrant would require them to turn over data on potentially tens of thousands of law-abiding website visitors.

Mark Rumold, staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said that no plausible explanation exists for a search warrant of such breadth, “other than to cast a digital dragnet as broadly as possible.”

He said that the government appears to be investigating a conspiracy to riot, “but it’s doing it in a blunt manner that does not take into account the significant First Amendment interests.”

Even people who were nowhere near Washington on Inauguration Day who visited the website will have their data “swept into a criminal investigation,” he said.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday in Superior Court before Judge Lynn Leibovitz.

Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken, how would compare the stupidity of today's political narrative versus two weeks ago?

Click to expand...
Yes. Only one narrative can exist at a time, a neo nazi domestic terrorist murders a protester, so now the Russian investigation is ridiculous.
The deflection is insane. "Two weeks ago the "alt-left"' "narrative" was a hostile foreign power interfering with our election?.. Now their "narrative" is caring about neo-nazis demonstrating on College campuses! Jesus these butt hurt libtards don't know what they care about! None of it must matter!". Anything that rubs against the fragile bubble you have to live in to buy in to the fraud that is Trump and MAGA is dismissed as "narrative". Anything that might make you second guess yourself is "fake news" it's useless to try to talk about it.

Donald Trump has what a 30% approval rate (and I can't believe it's even that high) and somehow anyone who opposes him is "alt-left"? As if the 70% of Americans and 99% of the rest of the world is some fringe group. What the fuck is "alt-left"?

It's flippant commentary geared towards biased media coverage.

I have a copy of Newsweek that says Hillary is POTUS. We were also told, by way of objective polling, that Trump had a single digit percentage chance to win the election.

I would define alt-left as those who unironically advocate for full-on communism, just as I'd define the alt-right as those who unironically advocate for full-on national socialism. Equally idiotic.

Who said the Russia stuff went away?

New attempts by the Trump campaign to connect with Russia pre-election were just reported yesterday:

Trump Campaign Aide Repeatedly Tried To Arrange Meetings With Russian Officials: The Washington Post reports that a low-level foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign named George Papadopoulos sent at least six emails attempting to set up meetings between the campaign and Russian officials between March and September 2016. One of the emails had the subject line "Meeting with Russian Leadership - Including Putin" and offered to arrange "a meeting between us and the Russian leadership to discuss US-Russia ties under President Trump." According to the email exchanges, which were among 20,000 pages of documents the Trump campaign has shared with congressional committees, higher level staffers rebuffed Papadopoulos' attempts to set up the meetings.
