Have any posters who are socially liberal absolutely had it with everyone playing protest and unlawfully taking down statues?

During a freakin pandemic no less?

I am a die hard anti Trumper but the mindless protests in EVERY town in the country for month after month and the lawlessness is way past acceptable to me.
Anyone else?

All I can say to your post is that people reap what they sow. With Trump not establishing a guideline based on Morals and Ethics and doing what he wants, what do you expect? people acting with morals and ethics and not doing what they want?

Trump's world is a dog-eat-dog scenario and the dogs have been let out. It is Trump's world and his guidelines.

Unless it's commies doing the protesting. Then, it's ok.

In leftist woke states in quite acceptable to march and protest for BLM, even without a mask. . To socialize with your family..that's criminal. Now the coronavirus is being called racist, as blacks are more prone to contracting coronavirus than whites.

Where's the false equivalency? Do you even know what that means?
It means ONLY the side you deplore politicizes the virus. If that's what you believe, it's nonsense.

Both sides have politicized the virus.

Incorrect: One side has politicized the virus. The other side has politicized that side's leader's inability/ denial of virus severity/refusal to properly deal with the virus; rightfully so. BIG difference. You're welcome. Class dismissed.
 
The protests were about a perceived racist injustice, it was murder, not based on color but lack of care on the part of the bad cop.the looting, arson, vandalism, assault, and murders are all based off the herd mentality of low IQ population that are to lazy to fact check and research the narrative of race baiters. If you tell one person a story and 99 others get the story and spread to others, there's only one person who actually knows the story, but there's going to be a certain percentage that are stead fast on what their told as fact, theirs going to be some who search out the origin of the story. The sheeple are predisposed to judgement, the free thinkers search out the supportive facts and or data, this brings logic and rationality into the thought process of forming an opinion and or judgement.

Really? Can you link us up to the official BLM position on this? Thanks.

Okay, technically he never stepped foot on the continent. Didn't take long, though, once he'd found the Caribbean Islands for someone else to make the hop, skip and jump over to the mainland. He brought slaves, the Taino Indians, back to Europe as slaves. I haven't found that he brought any with him to America on his first voyage.

He was a sadistic crud of a human, but I STILL think he should get a tip of the hat for what he DID accomplish. Slavery was a "going thing" back then, disgusting as it sounds to us now.

Columbus thought and insisted he had reached Japan (Sipanu on his maps).Had whooped out, "Will you look at this beautiful new land we knew nothing about" He might be worth a statue but the first thing he did after he ascertained there were no spices and gold laying about was to size up the natives for slavery, capture them and sell them off and assure the Queen they would make excellent slaves.

Had Colunmbus asked the Portuguese cod fishermen what was west of of Spain they could have told him of the New World. They had been fishing for cod up in Newfoundland for many years. They left permanent cellar holes in villages in Maine, so they had to have been overwintering there. But then people that talk to Queens don't usually think fishermen have anything worthwhile to tell any one.

Ain't that the truth.

I thought it was the Greenlanders and Icelanders (Vikings) that were fishing in Newfoundland and Maine? No fisherman is going to give up the location of his best fishing spot, that's for sure. But I hear Greenland's weather turned and most of them moved back home. Hence, Vinland became an old man's tale told by the fire.

I've let myself get way off topic here. Sorry.

They were, but sometime around late 15Th entry the Portuguese discovered Geroges Bank, an exceptionally productive fishing area. They kept it secret for quite a while.
 
Burn everything to the ground.

Trump does deserve some blame, though it is not surprising that you would excuse his vain silliness and refusal to listen to scientific advice. He should be wearing a mask. He should not be holding rallies that endanger the lives of his followers. He should be setting an example. He should not be encouraging people to be ignorant. He is so immature that this simple mark of leadership is beyond his abilities. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth on this issue, and not fooling anyone other than Charis

No, that's something that I don't do is mince words nor do I talk out of both sides of my mouth.
You have a fundamentally different view of government than I do and that's why you don't get it.

I am surprised af at your position here.

Yep to your first question.

I don't care if you are or aren't surprised.
I'm not surprised that you don't understand that there needs not to be a national mandate on mask wearing. It should be left up to states and local governments.
 
SCrider said:
Everyone already knows you will be voting form trump....

Yes the president absolutely deserves the blame for the anti-mask movement amongst the idiot cult members. You'll just make excuses for him as always though.
Click to expand...

Nah... you're an anti-Trump and as usual you blame him for most everything wrong in the world.

Trump is not responsible for the ignoramuses who protested from coast to coast, and did not wear masks. I'd venture to say that most younger aged people who did not wear masks at the beaches and bars are Democrats.
 
Variant said:
We should of course ignore everything that has happened to date and focus on what the President is saying right now. It shows that the President will eventually cave in and show some leadership after being prodded long term and seeing that his stance is doing real harm.

My understanding is that when the president cannot socially distance, he wears a mask in tight quarters. Good for him.

Yeah, I guess you could completely ignore everything thing he has said and done to come to your conclusion.

I've never cared about statues and I have been clear on what 'defund the police' means, do your homework and find the right guy. It cannot be that difficult.

"Defund the police" is to police reform as "Black Lives Matter" is to combating racism. They are both slogans used to cover the real aim, which is a radical uprooting of the established order.

You name it. Capitalism, democracy, traditional values, etc. The radical left opposes all of it. They haven't even tried to pretend otherwise.

There is no view of government that excuses Trump's inept leadership during a pandemic that threatens the nation.

Yep, NO black police chiefs, black cops, black DA's, black legislators, black mayors, black governors, black CEO's and we never had a black president.
