This is the point I make everywhere I go and get into talking politics. Around my state, the yard signs for Rump are in rural, poor, low income areas, lots of run-down houses and trailer parks. Those 2016 Rump voters are STILL living in squalor, nothing has changed for them …………………….. AND IT WON'T EITHER!!! Rump doesn't even know they're alive ………….. nor does he care. Once he's gone - he'll go back to his gold-plated penthouse …………………. and those same Rump supporters will STILL be in those run-down houses & poor trailer parks ( all with their proudly-displayed Trump 2020 signs still in their yards.) Rump's simple answers to very complex problems will prove (as they have so far!) to be complete failures. No huge tax breaks for the very rich are going to spur new businesses that pay well. That's WHY almost all U.S. manufacturing companies left in the first place - for poverty-level dirt-cheap labor in foreign countries. Rump IS NOT going to bring back U.S. manufacturing. IT WON'T HAPPEN …………………. FORGET IT. Some are still clinging to the dream ………………………. but they will be sorely disappointed, just like the Carrier plant in Indiana that Rump said he "saved" ………... and those jobs went to Mexico. Or the factory Rump claimed he "opened" in - I believe Texas or Louisiana - that ACTUALLY opened when Obama was President. Rump's a liar, a fraud, a huckster, a used car salesman. He has the "gift" of being able to bullshit people into believing in his grandiose plans and over-the-top rhetoric. That's his only skill. If bullshit was wind, Rump would be a world record cyclone.
The last three weeks is what happens when you let the left run wild How many involved in the looting and rioting all up across 50 cities? 100,000......2000 in each city X 50, that estimate sounds about right Not exactly a tiny percentage of the total number of protesters And what messages filter through to everyday people? Nike stores looted, Gucci stores set on fire To protest something that's negligible in the first place, one bad incident that happens every 50 million arrests, the answer is to burn down ones own neighbourhood Duh errr duh errrr derrrr CHAZ in Seattle - I have the police chief on video saying it takes an extra 11 minutes to respond to calls inside the zone. Which means it's not even what it's being advertized as a police free zone, as police are still going in. What female especially is going want to live in a neighbourhood with no police Statues - yeah super important when you have so many people below the poverty line, many of whom aren't black. Have you ever heard the phrase Pakistani lives matter in your country? These are all the left's answers, what a laugh. How useless
YES !!!!! …………………….. it surely is a contradiction! If Rump had reduced the Covid-19 threat to "ashes and embers" and he had "everything under control" …………………. then WHY THE NEED FOR A DISCLAIMER / WAIVER for attending any of his rallies???? !!!!!!! (Trailer park conversation, reaction to above contradiction) : "Henry, I think them folks-z made a po-int, ya know? Wha would ya need to sign sump-n if-n they wuz no more va-ris? " "Shut up, Edna ……………… 'em librals is alwuz lyin' 'bout sump-n!!! Git yer seff ready ……………… weez fixin' ta head to the rally over-n Rexlerville in front - a that there abandoned, used farm equipment sto-wer." Educated English translation: "Henry, I think these people made a good point, you know?" "Shut up, Edna ………….... Those liberals are always lying about something. Get yourself ready …………….. we're going to the rally over in Rexlerville in front of that abandoned, used farm equipment store." This exemplifies the lack of communication skills, grammar, pronunciation, and willful political blindness to easily-seen FACTS. (If the sky is blue with no clouds, you don't need a raincoat & umbrella.) = (If there's no virus to be afraid of, and it's all under control ……………. why do you need to sigh a waiver of rights to sue over infection from it? ) These are the very kinds of comments I hear with my own ears - but some people can't - or won't - recognize the plainly visible signs of lies - not by Dems - but by RUMP and THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. It's called willful blindness.
These two posts are time stamped Show me a single solitary post anywhere on HF that even so much at vaguely tries to attempt to explain how defunding the police is any kind of solution How is defunding the police going to increase funding for police training? How is defunding the police going to magically mean more money gets spent on social services and those councillors won't just line their own pockets, give a contract to their cousin to build a new $20 million car park next door to their office etc etc Let's hear some actual solutions for once. Instead of you just saying - non specific neo-liberalism, that's why Most of these chronically under funded areas in the US are that way as the result of decades of management from Democrat party mayors, governors, county reps - they are mostly in blue states, their left
Looting and burning are WRONG !!! PERIOD. They accomplish nothing but giving the radical right-wing side ammunition to point fingers and make the false claim, "See - that's what ALL the left is like." It's an easy way to deflect from the REAL problem which is police brutality by SOME cops - not all of them. I DO NOT support looters and those burning buildings!!!!!!
Exactly, and it's not the right you have to worry about, it's the average suburban folk across America that aren't aligned to one party They see the looting and think, what the fuck?
Trump looks like he aged 10 years overnight, he really does looks sick. He wants to appear strong in public like his best friend Vladimir Putin, but Putin is seven years younger and he really does stay in shape by practicing Taekwondo, whereas Trump is greeted every night before bed with a Big Mac and a Coke.
Two rulings against the trump administration in one day. Is The SCOTUS finally realizing it's time to get off the trump bandwagon? Note: trump might sue them.
Fixed, and. I'll point out where you are wrong. Red states, because of a small tax base(think small populations, and lack of manufacturing)can't afford to spend money on social programs.
As long as he says it is OK to hate Muslims and Mexicans they will fore-go a visit to the dentist to vote for him.
^^^^^^^ Sadly, Stormountainman, you're probably right. For the life of me ……………….. I can't see how ANYBODY buys what Rump is selling.
Trump declares national emergency over ICC probe of alleged U.S. war crimes "The Trump administration's contempt for the global rule of law is plain" Andrea Germanos June 15, 2020 8:00AM (UTC) Trump declares national emergency over ICC probe of alleged U.S. war crimes excerpt: "The Trump administration renewed its attacks on the International Criminal Court on Thursday with President Donald Trump issuing an executive order imposing economic sanctions against ICC staff involved in the ongoing investigations into alleged war crimes by U.S. and Israeli forces, with travel restrictions also imposed on those ICC court officials and their family members. "President Trump is grossly abusing emergency powers to block one of the only avenues left for justice to victims of terrible American human rights violations," Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU's National Security Project, said in response to the move. "He has repeatedly bullied international organizations, and is now playing directly into the hands of authoritarian regimes by intimidating judges and prosecutors committed to holding countries accountable for war crimes. "Trump's sanctions order against ICC personnel and their families — some of whom could be American citizens — is a dangerous display of his contempt for human rights and those working to uphold them," said Shamsi."
Trump's message to seniors at a White House event. Trump dismisses uptick in US coronavirus cases and suggests a 'stop' to testing President: 'If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any' John T Bennett, Washington Bureau Chief Monday 15 June 2020 20:37 Trump dismisses uptick in coronavirus cases and suggests a 'stop' to testing excerpt: "Donald Trump is blaming an uptick in coronavirus cases and hospitalisations solely on an increase in testing rather than his push for governors to reopen their states even as the sometimes-deadly disease continues to spread. "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any," the president said Monday during an event for seniors at the White House."
Do you actually have any kind of counter argument. You know, one that might convince everyone that average suburban folk across America aren't going to be scared by rioting, looting, talk of cutting funding to police forces?
