You can blame ALL of this on Democrats Telling people to stay home for months with all the restrictions but then the riots happen and the Democrats don't say a word. Then after the riots started, they kept quiet again and the (looting, riots and defacing/destroying monuments, buildings, shoe stores, electronic stores, restaurants, big box stores, etc.) grew into a Hideous monster and they still remained silent...

Now Trump wants to have a Rally and all of the sudden (according to Democrats) groups of people together are dangerous. The despicable Democrats have turned their backs on the residents of Heathen Town otherwise known as Chaz. They have completely destroyed a hotel and the Mayor says they are "peaceful"...They have raped and robbed but they are "just having fun in a friendly way" The Dem's need to be voted out NOW!

All of the sudden COVID is back on the news and heavy coverage but when 1,000's of people were sweating, swearing, screaming, destroying and threatening, the Democrats thought this was normal but not a Rally from the President?

Sad part is that many have willingly and enthusiastically opened the gates. A large swath of this country hates this country. They literally despise their own nation.

That sort of presentation that you are offering smacks of racism, by the way.



This is the answer, straight up. Here is the answer in the Psalms from King David himself:
Psalm 18:1-3
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
No, we are not done. At least we do not have to be.
No He is not for any violence or hate, matters which side. As true Christians we hold our peace and Let Him fight our battles. But we are to stand for justice, and righteousness. One thing is to stand for what right or another to stand for what is wrong. Treating people with compassion and dignity is way more important than money. I am against all looting, violence or killings, but I cannot see standing up for defenseless children is racists? Knowing that word of the virus and lack of action caused deaths, how is that racist? Be honest... line up with the word or the the politics?

But it was not the end. The young hippies and anarchists managed to change the public opinion, and the Vietnam war winded down, and everything else wound down with it. The last dry-heave was Nixon and Watergate in the 1970s, and then things got normal again.

Seattle is not getting rid of police either. The Chaz fools will run of of gas very soon and go home.
We shall see.

I already mentioned this earlier, but I really think a lot of this lays right at the feet of the colleges and universities. The media plays right along with it too.

Young people constantly being told and lectured about all of the bad stuff our country has done and this is what you get. People that think America is at it's core bad.

Democrats have been poorly governing these war zone neighborhoods for centuries, and you think creepy Joe Biden is going to stop the criminal gangs?

This, exactly. The tolerant left has finally found a tool to silence dissenting views. Funny thing is though, they don't realize the commonsense, innocuous thing they say today can become the thoughtcrime of tomorrow.

The young hippies and anarchists went on to become the college professors and politicians of today, and their destruction is ongoing. Think of current events as their own Tet Offensive.

I’m not talking about number of infections/deaths.

Talking about words used.

Efforts made.

Whether the White House gives a **** or not.

This one doesn’t.

Leave the cruise ship at sea, don’t let them dock it’ll just up our numbers.

If we stop testing, the numbers won’t go up.

I’m talking about the sheer stupidity at the helm and the ignorant that just make excuses for it.

Do you know anything about this country? There are laws in place preventing the federal government from interfering state affairs.

All of the failures you cited belong to the state and local governments, mostly democrats. It is NOT the president’s job!
Excuses for the chief snowflake.
