In 2015, Trump summed up himself and his presidency in one word

Patches, flags, and creepy crawlers


Hate groups, hate crime fester in Wisconsin.  (Appleton Post-Crescent, 8/18/2017)
One former white power activist said the groups themselves are often dysfunctional — fighting about what patches to wear, what flags to fly — but they are dangerous because of the violent people who draw inspiration and direction from them.




The Southern Poverty Law Center [map below], which tracks hate groups nationwide, identifies nine such organizations that are active in Wisconsin, of which five are neo-Nazi or white nationalist. But a USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin investigation two years ago identified five other groups with a presence here as well.

Nonetheless, Door County voters just might go ahead and vote for Scott Walker a third time



Municipalities, Roads Feeling Effects of Budget Squeeze.  (Door County Pulse, 8/18/2017)
Sturgeon Bay’s streets have deteriorated so badly that the city has convened a special committee to investigate funding solutions to improve them, but streets will get worse before they get better.
[snip]  
Prior to 2010, local governments could increase their tax levy by 3 percent of the previous year’s levy. In 2010, Gov. Scott Walker lowered that limit to 0, allowing Wisconsin municipalities to increase property taxes only at the rate of net new construction in the community. So even as the cost of fuel, materials, services, and human resources increases, budgets do not unless there is significant new construction. Levy increases were first capped at 3 percent by Gov. Jim Doyle in 2006. 
“How can you keep up with anything – roads, parks, sewer – if you can’t increase revenue to pay for expense increases?” Birmingham said.

Not by voting cartoon conservative into office over and over again.

Reported in Road rage incident leads to alleged battery of Mount Pleasant office by former trustee candidate.  (Mdison.com, 8/17/2017)

An incident where Haakma struck on officer in the face. While officers worked to clear the intersection and divert traffic from the area, a driver stuck in traffic, identified as Haakma, became agitated because he couldn’t get into his driveway, according to police.
Then there's this. .Haakma has confronted officers in traffic before. Last November he was accused of parking in a fire lane at Piggly Wiggly, 5201 Washington Ave. When officers confronted Haakma, he reportedly exclaimed, “You think (you’re) God with a gun!”

Scott Walker has not denounced Trump today.  (The Political Environment, 8/15/2017)

What Wisconsin's congressional delegation has said, as quoted in Wisconsin Congressional Delegation Condemns Charlottesville violence (Wisconsin Public Radio, 8/15/2017)

Sen. Ron Johnson, who doesn't mention Trump by name.  
"It’s horrific, it’s a tragedy. This is evil, and I think everybody should renounce and denounce neo-Nazi groups, the white supremacists. There is no room of this kind of hate and violence in this country."

Sen Tammy Baldwin, who doesn't mention Trump by name.
 "Racism, hatred, and violence have no place in America. Concerned and disgusted by the events in #Charlottesville."


Rep. Paul Ryan, who doesn't mention Trump by name.  
"The views fueling the spectacle in Charlottesville are repugnant. Let it only serve to unite Americans against this kind of vile bigotry. Our hearts are with today's victims. White supremacy is a scourge. This hate and its terrorism must be confronted and defeated."

 Rep. Mark Pocan 
"President Trump said what he needed to say in denouncing these groups, but unfortunately it came 48 hours late," Pocan said. "Now that he's called these groups out as 'criminals and thugs,' he needs to take the next step and remove (White House advisors) Seb Gorka and Steve Bannon."

Rep. Ron Kind  
"My prayers are with the families of Heather Heyer, Lieutenant Cullen, and Trooper-Pilot Bates who lost tragically lost their lives in Charlottesville. Hate, racism and bigotry should be strongly condemned, not covered up, and I call on President Trump to join me in condemning the racism and hatred on display by the white supremacists in Charlottesville."

Rep. Gwen Moore, who doesn't mention Trump by name, although she has called for his impeachment as reported elsewhere.
"We will not be intimidated by the #AltRight. We won't back down from standing up against hate & defending our #CivilRights." #Charlottesville."

 Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, who doesn't mention Trump by name.
 "What happened in Charlottesville goes against the principles of this nation and everything I've worked for during my time in Congress. The freedoms given in this country should never be abused to incite violence or spread hate and prejudice. It's my hope that as Americans, we can all come together to denounce bigotry in all its forms."

Rep. Glenn Grothman, an opaque statement that doesn't mention Trump by name.
"What's happening in #Charlottesville is unacceptable and un-American. My prayers are with the victims." 

Rep. Sean Duffy, who doesn't mention Trump by name.
 "The hate and violence in Charlottesville today is despicable. We are better than this." 

Rep. Mike Gallagher, who doesn't mention Trump by name.
  "The abhorrent acts of hate and bigotry witnessed today in Charlottesville go against our American values."
