Democratic Mayors need to do a whole lot more than that. Such as not affirmatively holding the police back and letting them do third jobs. The Mayors are afraid to go against their base and it is shameful.

Republicans who went to great universities know that the conspiracy theories of part of its base are complete bunk - - and yet the non-principled ones unlike McCain don't make a peep about them.

In other words, they support a party which encourages and celebrates the rioting and burning we have seen for months now. And, again, they do nothing to stop the people they support.

Not good enough.

Except conspiracy theories don't cause billions of dollars of damage, put people in the hospital or the morgue and ruin once great American cities.

The President needs to send in more fed cops to quell these riots.

These rioters need to learn rioting = permanent injury to the rioter.

I'd like to see a barrage of these rubber bullets being launch from different directions and pelting rioters all over.

When will they say enough is enough?

When they realize their cities and towns have been left for dead by a free capitalistic economy. When that shiny downtown area anchored by major corporations starts getting crab grass in the cracks of the concrete and nobody is able to afford to fix it because the dollars have all left for greener (and safer) pastures. You think Target and Best Buy are sitting there, HQ'd in Minneapolis thinking "hey, this is great for us - we'll recruit so much educated and qualified talent now, because who wouldn't want to move here and bring their families?" Nope. They're thinking "ok, this isn't working for us anymore, where do we go now?"

Emotions of the bored and clueless are controlling the front pages these days. The dollars will respond shortly to what they've been doing, and then they'll see...

AOC wants to tax the rich now in NY. Good! See the thing about the rich - they have something most don't, called "options". Tax them, and states like VA, NC, GA, FL will benefit as they'll flee to them, and take their money with them. Heck, they already are! Just talk to any realtor in the Naples area and ask them who's there buying up the houses now. It's those fleeing the madness. Even the rich from Miami are fleeing to the other side in Naples to get away from the craziness.

Lefties think it's so unfair. Just wait. They're about to get a real taste of just how unfair freedom can be....

At what point does the right get angry about all the corruption and lies coming from Trump?
