White House preparing for Obama’s endorsement of Clinton: US media
[Iran Press TV] US President Barack Obama
They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...
is set to endorse Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John Jay ...
for the 2016 election.

Various US media outlets made the announcement Tuesday, citing American officials and other sources.

White House officials were determining about when and how Obama, along with Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
should announce their formal endorsement.

The signal from the White House came on a day that Obama’s former secretary of state was close to securing enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee.

"He has indicated he wants to spend a lot of time on the campaign trail, so when it’s time to do that, we’ll go out guns ablazing," White House Communications Director Jennifer Psaki told the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
in an interview. "We are actively thinking through how to use the president on the campaign trail -- what works for the nominee, what works for him, and how to utilize his strengths and his appeal."
Does anyone think the Attorney General is going to levy charges against someone endorsed by the Champ to become the next President of the United States? No, me neither.

#1  Given the dangerous dismal world relations we now have, the spiraling economy, the trans-gendered fights, racial animus and victimology, increasing crime, and stagnant wages, campus crybullies in teh news and rioting brownshirts on the Donk side....
I welcome his endorsement of her

#2  Hillary has an interesting problem. Bash Obama's policies and you lose the black vote, embrace his policies and you lose the Bernie vote.

#3  rjschwarz, that's easy for Hillary. Ever listen to her speeches? She goes around sounding all warm and fuzzy like she's gonna make everything alright but won't say anything about how she's gonna do it. Then she calls Trump a racist. No need to mention Baraq or Bernie.

#4  When asked what she would do about the 11+ million illegals in the US she started bashing Trump. Never did answer the question.

ABQ witches protest 'witch hunt'; Police union sues for deficient planning
A coalition of groups involved in last month’s anti-Donald Trump protest said Monday that the actions of a few people -- those who threw rocks or punches -- shouldn’t discredit the peaceful message of the rest of the crowd.
Ah, the "mostly peaceful" protest rally argument...
"Most of us went home and we sobbed," Samia Assed, a protester who said she tried to keep the peace that night. "We sobbed at what we saw -- the pain in the community, the outrage in the community, the way the narrative was changed."
And that they had to pack their hands in ice for the rest of the evening...
Protesters had gathered, she and others said, to denounce Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric toward immigrants colonists and others. In rallies, Trump repeatedly vows to build a wall between Mexico and the United States, and more recently, he said a Latino judge shouldn’t hear a case involving one of his companies because he is "we believe, Mexican."

Javier Benavidez of the SouthWest Organizing Project, which sent volunteer peacekeepers to the event, added Monday that it was wrong for community leaders to engage in a "witch hunt" in the days after the protest.

Mayor Richard Berry and business leaders announced last week that they had raised at least $20,000 in reward money for tips leading to the arrest of people who threw rocks, flaming projectiles and other debris at coppers or engaged in other violence.

Police have placed in durance vile
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
a handful of people since then -- two adults and a 14-year-old boy who turned himself.

Gilbert Montaño, the mayor’s chief of staff, said authorities aren’t going after peaceful protesters, only those who engaged in violence.
It's called, "rule of law", as opposed to the progressive "rule of the jungle"...

#1  Couldn't fit 2 links in post, here is the 2nd one:
The Albuquerque Police Officers' Association – the union that represents the city's rank-and-file officers – filed a complaint against the city and police department Monday alleging the department failed to protect its own officers during rioting violent protests that took place following Donald Trump's rally in Albuquerque.
The complaint says because of this alleged lack of planning and failure to equip all officers with riot gear, several officers were unnecessarily injured.
At least six officers were injured during the violence that followed the rally – most of which was caused by rocks thrown by the rioters.
Many of the officers on the "front line" against the protesters were equipped with riot gear, but on several occasions, officers only in street uniforms were tasked with helping push back the rioters as they threw rocks at police on 3rd Street.
New Mexico State Police chief Pete Kassetas tells KOB his repeated offers to provide tactical units and extra traffic enforcement officers the night of the rally were declined by APD.
Kassetas said he put dozens of officers in the field anyway -- a decision that likely helped APD immensely.

#2  the actions of a few people -- those who threw rocks or punches -- shouldn’t discredit

but you (along with DoJ) have no problem broadbrushing all cops as Gestapo for the actions of a few, don't you.

Chicago, San Jose, ABQ, there's a pattern there. Your whole act was about confrontation and you play victim. Take it elsewhere sunshine.

#3  Hey Samia Asshead - Throwing sticks and stones will surely get you thrown in jail...Trump's words will never hurt you!
