"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
Who woul'dah thought....
Almost makes me miss Zenkai's post about the economy every time there was a small bump.

Trump steel tariffs bring job losses to swing state Michigan
Four years later, Great Lakes Works - once among the state’s largest steel plants - has shut down steelmaking operations and put 1,250 workers out of a job. A year before the June layoffs, plant owner United States Steel Corp called off a plan to invest $600 million in upgrades amid deteriorating market conditions.
Trump’s strategy centered on shielding U.S. steel mills from foreign competition with a 25% tariff imposed in March 2018. He also promised to boost steel demand through major investments in roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
But higher steel prices resulting from the tariffs dented demand from the Michigan-based U.S. auto industry and other steel consumers. And the Trump administration has never followed through on an infrastructure plan.
and now employs 1,900 fewer workers than it did when Trump took office, according to U.S. Labor Department data. (For a graphic on steel jobs, click tmsnrt.rs/2SRIEaF)''
While the tariffs failed to boost overall steel employment, economists say they created higher costs for major steel consumers - killing jobs at companies including Detroit-based automakers General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co. Nationally, steel and aluminum tariffs resulted in at least 75,000 job losses in metal-using industries by the end of last year
In Michigan, steelmakers have served layoff notices to nearly 2,000 workers since the tariff took effect, according to a Reuters analysis of the notices steel companies filed with the state. The state’s primary metals manufacturing industry, which includes iron and steel mills, employed about 7,300 fewer workers in August than in March 2018, when Trump announced metal tariffs, according to data from Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
The steel-industry setbacks account for just a fraction of the job losses in Michigan’s manufacturing sector - which now employs 55,100 fewer workers than it did when Trump took office in January 2017, U.S. Labor Department data shows. The state’s automotive industry accounted for 35% of the manufacturing job losses, according to the St. Louis Fed.

Trump to propose $1.8T coronavirus relief package
Inching closer to Democrats' demands, President Trump and his aides on Friday will offer Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief package, sources said, as the president urged the negotiators to "go big."
The new figure was a jump from the White House's $1.6 trillion offer last week, but there was no indication that Pelosi would come down from her demand for a $2.2 trillion package. She is set to speak with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Trump's lead negotiator, later Friday.
"Covid Relief Negotiations are moving along. Go Big!" Trump tweeted on Friday morning, a striking reversal from his position on Tuesday when he said he would walk away from negotiations with Democrats on a comprehensive relief bill to assist businesses and American workers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

McConnell is saying "fuck it!" I think he knows now it's just too late to be worrying about the election. And yeah...he blames Trump.
Not only that, the chap who's going to be "evaluating" him is this guy. Expect a complete farce.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Siegel
During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Siegel frequently appeared in conservative media where he pushed medical advice that contradicted CDC guidelines.[11] In an March 2020 appearance on Fox News's Hannity, Siegel incorrectly claimed that the coronavirus "should be compared to the flu. Because at worst, at worst, worst-case scenario it could be the flu."[12][13][14] A study by Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Dolores Albarracin, published in the peer-reviewed Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review in April 2020, identified Siegel's statement as part of a broader set of COVID-19 misinformation circulating in conservative media; the study found that Americans who relied upon Fox News and other right-wing sources for news were more likely to credit conspiracy theories or baseless rumors than Americans who relied upon mainstream sources.[13][15] Author and media analyst Brian Stelter, in his book Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth, wrote that Siegel's "just-the-flu" claim "was shockingly irresponsible stuff" and that Fox News executives were aware of this, because they had at the time already begun taking precautions.[16]
Siegel has praised President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.[11] In July 2020, Siegel interviewed Trump on Fox News about the results of the results of his recent cognitive assessment. During the interview, Trump described the test's contents using the phrase "person, woman, man, camera, TV"; Trump's remark was parodied.[17][18]
Senate debate in question after Graham refuses to take COVID-19 test
Jaime Harrison might not attend the next debate because Graham refuses to get tested for Covid and Graham's campaign is weaponizing that by trying to make Harrison look bad.
Trump today, after previously claiming he recovered immediately. I'd put money down that he skips the Saturday event.
Schrodinger's covid recovery.
I take that to mean that Graham has it and that he knows he does. The main/only tactic that Graham is employing in his bid to retain his seat is ratcheting up Trump propaganda and linking Harrison to Pelosi (which is icky and gross, apparently). Graham can’t get the MAGAts to vote for him without falling over himself to appease dear leader’s every batshit whim and tirade, and unfortunately that includes pretending covid isn’t a problem.
I think it is sad that Nancy Pelosi has become so demonized due to partisan politics. I can't think of any other Speakers of the House that is more maligned than Nancy Pelosi. Which in a way speaks to her effectiveness as a speaker. The reality is that she has done a lot good work for the Country and its citizens. Regardless of political orientation. Yet, somehow those on the right and extreme left seem to be blind to her advocacy and legislative accomplishments. To her detractors she has become a media-spawned caricature. Too bad.
JFC still with the "CLASSIFIED INFO ON PRIVATE SERVER!" nonsense?

They were classified after sending, she did not receive anything that was classified at the time it was sent.
This is fucking pathetic.
