amazing honesty in both his verbal and non-verbal communication... contrast this with the clip of Vichy-GOPhers evading all comments or declaring that they "had not seen" or been aware of T's actions (https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017585617). in the past few days, have thought a lot about the phrase "There are none so blind as those who will not see?" (in respect to the GOP/Administration's alternate vision of reality) or one of the more elegant biblical versions:

-Matthew 13:13 : : : 13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing : : : see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand : : :
-Jeremiah 5:21 : : : Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: : : :
-Isaiah 6-10 : : : And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear you indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but perceive not.

[Vichy-GOPhers chances for 11/3/20 election = ]

They're capturing the civil rights aspects of the situation but ignoring military tactics against civilian populations exercising their Constitutional First Amendment rights.

Trudeau is a smart cookie.

It took twenty seconds for him to answer the question because he had to think about the words he would use to do that. Words can hurt, especially in tragedies and criminal acts against George Floyd. Prime Minister Trudeau knows that he did not need to "stir the pot" with any words that are out of place. Now 45 on the other hand will do that at any speaking engagement or on Twitter. He will just jump right in and say anything he wants to, no matter how much it hurts.
