Or do you mean he framed you for something you didn't do? You were a chef at one of his restaurants and he poured a tin of Carolina Reaper Chili Powder into your tapioca pudding, and you were fired?

OK, let me tell you a story
Back in the 12th century, lands of now modern Ukraine and Russia were split between multiple dukes, sons of a king, who unified the country then, just like King Leer, madea mistake of granting his sons each one his own "votchina", inheritance with land, serfs, income. Of course, they had a formal Older Brother in Kiev but, truly, no one really paid attention to him and skirmishes between the brothers were daily normal.
You know, what happened next?

Mongols came. They picked them up, one by one or, played them against each other, so that brother rose against the brother and supported invaders.
Is THAT what you want?

The riots were damaging. But they were not an assault on our government. They were not an attempted coup. No one had to rush both chambers of congress to safety to avoid a mob assault.
I THINK the Jan 6th riot was probably infiltrated by Leftist agitators.
Maybe the BLM led "mostly peaceful protests" that resulted in violence were infiltrated by KKK supporters? Maybe not but if the KKK wanted to stir up racism that tactic would work.

Upstate NY is one of my favorite places in the country. Totally opposite from NYC. Opinion based on years of driving over the road trucks and delivering freight to those areas.

What a stupid idea. There are political and ideological divisions in every nation, region, and city on this planet. It's always been that way and it always will be that way. If we were to split every place in the world where there are political and ideological divisions you would end up with a bunch of nations made out of less than 20 people declaring their independence.

I agree, one of the most underrated areas of America. Picture postage small towns and lots of green.

The answer is simple --- This is America. Love it or leave it.

For all the liberals trashing the nation, I hear Guatemala and Ecuador are nice this time of year. Or maybe socialist Venezuela is more to your liking. They would love to have you. All of you.
Canada, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries are more truly social democrat. All have much better economies, too. Not to mention true mulitparty democracy elected by direct popular vote, not this Electoral College and giving the least populous state 60x the representation per person than the most populous state. And social mobility is higher in those countries than in the US, too.

Yes HOWEVER there is room for improvement.
CORRUPTION across the board should be the first thing to go. An example of CORRUPTION is my own State (Nebraska) Congressman Jeff Fortenberry.
NOTE: I voted for the A*****E for his first term. BTW he was GOP. It isn't just Democrats that are corrupt.
That said IMHO Fortenberry was an amateur in corruption when compared to Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, The Clintons and Bidens.

Sad isn't it?

You probably think race mixing is communism, too (like the protest signs carried during the early 60s said).
You probably think the late 60s social values changes were a KGB-enginnered attempt to destroy America by destroying its values base as well. Right?

That impossible.

Fox News says there are only two possibilities: it’s either the American-style system or Venezuela. You don’t want to become like Venezuela, do you?
