Good, we need to totally marginalize racists and bigots:

A Pennsylvania fire company was closed by town officials on Wednesday after the company's leadership refused to address that one its volunteer firefighters was affiliated with the extremist group the Proud Boys.

Officials in Haverford Township, in Delaware County, were informed on Aug. 12 that a volunteer with the Bon Air Fire Company was affiliated with "an organization described as an extremist group," the township's manager David Burman wrote in a statement released Thursday.

The township immediately launched an investigation, which included interviewing the volunteer, who admitted he was involved with the Proud Boys, Burman said. The volunteer revealed he had attended social gatherings hosted by the group and had passed two of the group's four initiation steps, "which includes hazing."

Not sure I am a fan of the Fire Co. being shut down for "doing nothing" and not firing the volunteer. They seemed to have reviewed it and determined he was not currently associated with them. Requiring them to fire him seems like an overreach to avoid bad PR.

Sooo Dorian...

Do we discuss how the commerce chief threatened to fire top employees at the NOAA for contradicting Trump’s claims about Alabama?

Or how Bahamian hurricane victims can’t seek refuge in Florida cuz Trump is labeling them as bad people?

Wilbur Ross should have been fired a long time ago, but he's a useful idiot, i.e., he's willing to do anything no matter how unethical or lawless for Trump, and that's all Trump cares about. Unfortunately, #MoscowMitch and republicans care more about power and party, so what he does is fine with them, too.

The great lesson supposedly learned from the Watergate affair was the ends does not justify the means.
Some party needs a refresher course.

Michigan police officer who had KKK memorabilia in his home is fired

Charles Anderson was placed on leave last month after a prospective home buyer said they saw a Ku Klux Klan application and Confederate flags in his house.

[...]

The Muskegon County prosecutor’s office earlier told MLive that it will wait for the results of the police department's inquiry before it decides whether to reevaluate a 2009 incident in which Anderson fatally shot a 23-year-old unarmed black man. Anderson was cleared in late 2009 of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of Julius Allen-Ray Johnson. The shooting was determined to be an act of self-defense.
