Are we as a nation done? First the Corona hit us then the economic decline sent us to the mat and now the BLM/antifa movement is ready with the knock out blow. We are all hurting in one way or another from the 3 assaults. We have politicians that are frozen in any response out of fear of being called out by the mob and other elected leaders that are siding with the rioters and looters by caving to their demands.



Chaz? Heck the elected in Seattle are calling it the Summer of Love.

The AG in my state said at a rally that "sometimes the forest has to burn to promote new growth". It not her property that is being destroyed and torched..





They like to blame Trump for it all as if this wouldn't have happened under Hillary, reminder we had riots under Obama and he applauded BLM. Do people really think that Biden has all the answers? Do they really think that if elected all this strife will vanish?



The mob is gearing up to run the show right into the ground and our elected are running scared. If you don't kneel fast enough the mob will destroy you. BLM enjoys complete immunity from criticism. One can be fired from their job, or literally beaten up for saying "all lives matter".



Tucker Carlson had an excellent opinion piece last night

https://www.foxnews.com/category/sho...kers-monologue


He talks about the popularity of BLM and how they got there through shaming people and destruction. If you disagree with them they will burn you down. They are beholding to no one and that is scary.



Whether Trump or Biden is in the WH next year this "movement" is not going to stop. They are now shaping our politics by influencing our weak elected to bend to their demands. Are reparations coming down the line?



So what happens when the BLM movement influences our elected to disband the Police and suddenly the criminals can operate without worry?



We have the Corona that is here to stay and now we have a violent movement where the rioters when they are actually arrested they are quickly released and the charges dropped against them. How much of America has to burn? Did you plan on traveling this Summer? Do you have fear of taking a wrong turn off the road and into the middle of a riot or stuck in traffic for hours due to protesters shutting down the road?



It has been a nice run for America but I fear we are done and that is sad because there is so much still to see and do or at least there was.

It does seem bleak. This whole thing is heightened because of the lock down and pandemic. I think these cultural forces have been going on for some time, but with the checks and balances of a normal functioning society. But the lockdown literally caused mass psychosis which is what accelerated these extreme radical events.

The only people who are out there voicing their opinions are those willing to risk Covid. Far more are at home watching horrified. And then this mob is enabled by a corrupt and unhinged media, the cancer of 'social media,' and weak, pandering politicians. This is a perfect storm. When life goes on as normal--when people are out there actually talking to each other, working, going to school, games, church--things will be different because more voices will be heard. I hope! Right now all we have is Covid, lockdowns, and BLM, plus essential workers. It's a social experiment gone very bad.

You all knew the deep state dems were not going to go down without a fight. They are going to try to drag the entire nation down with them. Don't let them. Simple as that. They are not holding a gun to your head and forcing you to go against your free will. They can only manipulate and coerce you into destroying yourself, if you let them. Don't let them turn you, your life, your family and your community in the next Chaz. Stay strong and MAGA. The struggle is real, but we've been through far worse as a nation, and emerged stronger after reaching a resolution.

Well, I'd rather a POTUS pondering pudding than whom he can screw over every day and what meaningless nonsense he can pat himself on the back for allegedly doing.

Washington insiders and "business as usual" is the problem with American politics.

The deep state and the life long politicians HATE Trump, as the threatens their gravy train. Biden is a long time Washington insider and supports the "time honored" democrat tradition of using political office to gain wealth.

Just how did all these politicians become so wealthy being "servants of the people"?

Wake up- Biden has already been bought and sold by the Chinese and does not give a rip about the US. If dems were really interested in actual change, they should have nominated Sanders. He has already been caught with his hand in the cookie jar receiving money from the Chinese and Ukranians. I prefer a POTUS who represents the US, not China.

Keep in mind that your hero, Clinton, created this mess by supporting China most favored nation trade status, NAFTA, and eliminating "red lining" in home loans. Clinton has done more damage to the US than all of the foes the nation has faced since its inception.

The statements we read on here from a couple dozen frequent posters are nothing but simple minded memes, feel-good propaganda based on paranoia and fear mongering. Does anyone actually buy any of this nonsense, other than the fully brainwashed puppets of Donald Trump?

They are getting further and further out a limb with this guy, and every single day more and more people are sawing away at the branch.

A famous Republican Senator said it far better than I ever could: “What is Donald Trump’s campaign about?
He’s a race baiting, xenophobic religious bigot. You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to Hell.”

None of this is Trumps fault. Do you really think we would be in a better spot with the corona shut downs if Hillary had been in charge? The only difference would be the media would not be hammering the negative news. They never talk about the people that have survived the virus but boy we hear about the rolling death tally every hour of the day.




What can Biden do to help us out of this mess? Biden has been in politics for 40 years and he did nothing during the race riots, rise of BLM and hate groups like antifa when he was VP with Obama so what is he going to do if he was the President?

I can hear him now addressing the country, "come on man stop the violence, if you do I will let you feel the hair on my legs".

If Biden wins he could be the first President to take a knee at his inauguration...



The media is downplaying the looting and riots and telling us that Chaz is a terrific place full of Patriots just seeking change and equality...



Trump or Biden it is not going to matter to the mob but it will matter to our very future.
