You guys have cried "Wolf!" for so long, nobody has any reason to believe you. Maybe someday you'll be right. For the last four years, you haven't been.

Nobody takes comments like yours seriously now, if they ever did. Comments like that are the butt of jokes and go viral in right leaning social media circles.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

We're way past the beginning of the end. That's all wrong. We're at least in the middle of the end now.

But in this case, he clearly understands the role quite well...because he can't do anything of any substance without being asked by the state governors, and none have asked him to do anything of substance. All he can do is make commentary really. OK. Clinton's commentary didn't stop Rodney King riots. Obama's commentary didn't stop the Oscar Grant riots, Trayvon Martin riots, Michael Brown riots, Manuel Diaz riots or Kimini gray riots.

Neither of the last two "great" Presidents offered up by the Democrats "did anything" about riots, except make commentary, which had no freaking effect whatsoever on the situations.

And in all that rambling...you never answered the question about what it is exactly he should be doing, per his job description and within the rules of federalism, in the current situation.
Bush Sr. was the man in charge during the LA 1992 riots. Bill Clinton didn't get elected till November of that year and the LA Riots were in April and May of 92.

This is one reason I'm a hit and run poster... 14 pages of posts on this topic in 5 hours. I don't have time to read that all, lol.

Both candidates suck. Trump allowed the fed to go into fairy dust stupid mode so he can have his high stock market and asset bubbles that make him look better, the same market during his campaign he said was overvalued and criticized by being propped up by federal reserve monetary policy, now he's cheerleading this policy. Just another politician that doesn't have principles beyond his own gain.

Biden is senile. He is part of a party that thinks we need to lock down society for months and years because of a virus. I don't like how they want to disarm people, how they seem to look at China as a style of government to emulate. How they promote the welfare state and always give criminals breaks and reward bad behavior, and encourage people to live in the moment and then give them handouts when they do dumb things. The right also does this though.. they are glorified corporate socialists. Basically I don't like either of these parties.

The police and the FBI and the Mayor of Minneapolis have said they "have white supremacists, members of organized crime and other out of state instigators and possibly foreign actors involved in destabilizing their city and who took over the peaceful civil rights and civil injustice protests.

Then i felt it would be a much closer race. The pandemic and now this tragedy might have sealed his fate.
You just keep on wishing. Oh look, there is a real Unicorn!!!!

What a fooling, assinine and wholly infantile thing to say. Your post is moronic.

I can't stand Trump, but I will defend the notion of federalism and leaving state problems to the states. Every current criticism leveled at Trump seems to be focused on him abandoning federalism and usurping state sovereignty in the name of law and order.

I oppose tyranny, so I guess by defending the states retaining some manner of sovereignty and autonomy, I am indirectly supporting Trump for not violating that sovereignty and autonomy with the vigor all of his critics apparently wish he would.

Unless there’s proof, this is a lie and a pathetic one at that. I hope the idiot mayor and governor are held accountable when this is debunked.

Just watch the video footage. There are some whites, but we all know there are far more white democrats in this country than non-white.

What say you regarding AG Barr blaming it on the left and claiming Antifa? What say you about Post#122 and Trump's many transparent tweets? You will call the Democratic Mayor and Governor pathetic liars when they talk about domestic terrorists but stay silent about the evidence free blame game & selective flame throwing Republican administration?

I understand. Exactly why I responded to you, dear. We all get it.
