Because he knows he would get his ass handed to him in the election.

Were they occupations that wouldn't allow police to respond to 911 calls for rape and other violent crimes within the occupied territory?

Clarity and precision of thought is important. It's the sign of a disciplined mind. Old habits from working as an editor. Proofreading is not difficult.

And it was no trouble, really. You're welcome.

As for your assertion about Trump gassing protestors, I'm not convinced.

Pandering to this is extremely dangerous.
That would be great entertainment watching that play out.

Possibly like the 1981 movie "Escape from New York" but for real.

Hey, Seattleites want to do it their own unique way.

I think they're making a mistake, but they can have at it.

Absolutely no federal intervention.

I wasn't going to vote for Trump, I'm a Libertarian, but you bet your bottom dollar, I'm having a change of heart.

Life as we knew it for as long as most everyone alive today can remember is gone.
Also, remember, at least in Pennsylvania, they let all prisoners due to COVID-19. I think they did in New Jersey too. They didn't want COVID spreading in prisons, so they released a lot of them. Maybe that explains all of this too...

Well, that exacerbated the situation, but I think a small part of the big picture. The biggest part of that big picture, IMO, is the lock-downs. And, the longer they continue, the more people will be hurt by them.

Take them all out. Someone needs to stand up against this bull****. These morons have no clue why they are even doing this crap. They just do it.
They are anarchists, terrorists, whatever. Take them out.
