[So here’s the drill about the riots.  According to the Big Liberal Lie Factory, up until last week there were no riots, only peaceful protests for social justice – ask anybody in the Dem leadership including Bumblebrain.  This week this position became ludicrous even for the country’s liberal contingent.  So a massive pivot was necessary and pulled off on the Sunday lamestream talk shows.  This week the riots are suddenly real, and have been so for some months, all caused by President Trump inciting white nationalists to violence from the White House.  Now that’s a more palatable version of reality for all the land's leftists.  gjr]

    I responded to Obama’s “iniquities” by not voting for him second time around. Will you consider responding the same way to Trump?

    I’m sure that while you were raising your children there was a time or two that you “agreed” with them just to “make the noise stop” if only for a brief time. You never had any intention of actually following through with letting them eat an entire bag of marshmallows for dinner or going trout fishing with a handgun.
    So it probably won’t do any permanent damage if you just tell Paul that each and every one of his powerfully argued points has finally convinced you to go all in on Team Biden.

    ““Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground”

    https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1302122547241123841
    “@GalenEttlin asked @OregonGovBrown why her statement condemning violence did not include mention of antifa. She doesn’t answer the question, instead, she says she named white supremacy because it was her understanding the pro-Trump groups were that.”
    https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1302012334810918912
    Holy shit. One man with a twitter machine. Is there nothing he can not do?
    “The days of taxpayer funded indoctrination trainings that sow division and racism are over. Under the direction of @POTUS we are directing agencies to halt critical race theory trainings immediately.”
    https://twitter.com/RussVought45/status/1302033078848753665
    and finally….
    “Trump Orders Purge of ‘Critical Race Theory‘ from Federal Agencies https://breitbart.com/tech/2020/09/04/partys-over-trump-orders-purge-of-critical-race-theory-from-federal-agencies/ via @BreitbartNews This is a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue.

    This last announcement is enough to get anyone intelligent person to vote for Trump. The burning buildings are a sideshow in comparison.

    because that story is a lie. Of course, you went right for their bait.
    Related news item:
    “The Atlantic’s majority owner has donated over $1.2 million to Democratic candidates and political committees since 2019 while reportedly keeping in close contact with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, who published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump denigrated fallen American soldiers.”
    https://gellerreport.com/2020/09/biden-megadonor-owns-the-atlantic.html/
    “””He’s not a war hero,” and “I like people that weren’t captured, OK?””
    Almost four year old line that is trotted out as part of Harris/Biden 2020.
    It’s an interesting question. Is someone who has something unfortunate happen to them a ‘hero’? I’ve often wondered about that. I admit that the carrier pilots in my family managed to never crash a plane, it’s considered bad form.
    Paul,
    How can you justify worrying 100% (let’s say 99%) about what Trump says rather than what he does. I would suggest either (a)arguing against Trump actions and/or (b)actually arguing in favor of anything at all.
    Stick up for something, old son. It’s a fine mental exercise.

    Now, as an aside, it’s worth considering whether the American GIs who died in WWI were fighting for any kind of useful cause. Besides the difficulty in determining how the US actually benefits, there’s always the contrafactual of a negotiated peace resulting in the non-existence of one Mr. Hitler and WWI 2.0
    Is a soldier who dies in a useless war a sucker? That’s way too harsh. A hero? Unlucky? I don’t really know.
    Playing world hegemon is an expensive business in life and lucre. Was the Spanish-American war a righteous one? WWI? Nicaragua? Invasion of Russia? Indochina or Korea? Gulf War I or II?
    Mr Emery’s favorite answer, YES OR NO?, isn’t much use here, but the answer isn’t always obvious. It’s always a matter of degree and context.
    The crazy thing of course is that the US Left wants to put the War Party back in power, but I always felt that most Liberal’s love of peace was a pretty shallow thing.

    I really believe that the problem of dealing with elderly liberals, like we seem to have a few of ’round these parts, is that they are fighting the political wars from decades ago.

    BillT 1233pm – Democrats really are scumbags of the lowest order. The Ho is now trying to convince her already naive constituents not to vaccinate themselves with an early vaccine because its a Trump trick. She doesn’t give a big rat’s ass how many of the then unvaccinated may develop, suffer, and/or die from C19 because of the fear she promoted for political gain. This is another example of a real Big Lie. Recall the utility that the Democrats are trying to maximize before the election.

    Well, yes it does.
    I’d be interested in hearing Mr. Emery’s case against Trump if one is a single issue voter.
    That issue is a street war by AntifaBLM vs. civilization and an internal struggle in the establishments (corporations, press, schools,gubmint) between Critical Race Theory (and it’s variations) vs. tradition.
    Everything else is on the table. Health care. The role of the military. Public funding of schools. Abortion. All of it is trivial.
    So make yer case Paul. How are we safer under Biden or the Green Libertarian candidate (Biden)? Be convincing, but you can get a fair hearing.

    Biden will not necessarily be great and he’s not my first choice, but the consequences are dire and unknown if Trump stays in office. I don’t subscribe to the ol’time Red Scare (so 1950’s) the RR’s are infatuated with so that’s not an issue with me.

    Let this sink in TDS sufferers –
    Since the pony tail of ignorance has such limited reading lists-
    Friday’s Rasmussen Reports approval rating for Trump was 52%. At the same time, 48 percent disapprove. Strong feelings for the president are equal on both sides– 42 percent strongly approve of the president’s job and 42 percent strongly disapprove.
    The last time Trump hit 52 percent approval was late February, weeks before coronavirus lockdowns kicked in.
    The highest approval rating Trump has had was in late September 2019, at 53 percent, according to Rasmussen. The highest former President Barack Obama had was 52 percent, in late January 2011.
    In past reelections, both Obama and President George W. Bush had a 51 percent approval on the day they won.

    Wonder if Trump had anything to do with that or the empowerment. zones going on to help distressed businesses with special government loans and programs. Mostly helping black businesses and neighborhoods. Showing results. Did you hear about that? I did not think so.
    Controlled immigration helps the black community the most. So does empowerment zones to start/get some economic activity and jobs happening. Worth a shot. Comes with mentors from the private sector which was easy to get them on board.
    The ones hurt the most by defunding or reducing LE’s present in crime ridden areas are the good poor black folks.
    Recent poll said 80% of the American people support the police. It also said 80% of the blacks also support the police.
