The City on Fire

Quote: Gandler

So 7/9 of the Seattle City Council want to cut the police budget by 50%.

Insanity, after a portion of their city was declared as an autonomous state...

They are showing what the Democrat Party stands for. Simple as that.

Most Democrats don't agree with that.

100% of the Democrats who live only in Duffman’s mind agree with it though.

Quote: RonC

I have been there many times.

I don't find it a "smelly hole" at all;

Every time I've been to Manhattan
it smells like rotting garbage and
exhaust fumes.

Quote: Gandler

That is because they are blind to what the Democrat Party stands for today. They think it is their grandfather's Democrat Party who was for "the working man."

They do not see that it is the party of open borders, celebrating abortion, and backing racist groups like BLM.

They do not see The Squad who wants to tear down the very fabric of American culture. They do not see a party that supports making skin color a factor in college admissions but eliminating the SAT because the later "is racist." Then can never show a racist question, they just think the test is racist.

They do not see speech codes and PC run wild. They do not see support for tearing down statues and destroying any person or company that does not toe the line.

They do not see the march towards socialism.

They do not notice that all the supposed "racist cops" are in Democrat run cities. They do not see the Democrat Party supporting getting rid of police departments.

How strongly do they oppose it?

Enough to speak out against AOC and the others strongly? Enough to support candidates against them?

New York City health officials reported zero deaths related to the novel coronavirus four months after the state's first official death was recorded on March 11.

According to initial data reported by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, no one died from the virus in New York City on July 11. Officials recorded no confirmed deaths the day before as well, but did have two probable deaths.

The BLM protests did not lead to a spike.

Sorry righties.

People in the process of being arrested can put an officer in a choke hold...but we must make sure the officer does not respond in kind.

I "get" George Floyd...that was murder, since he was under control and restrained...but if someone is trying to hurt you, why should your actions be restrained in what you do in a fight with that person? The other person does not give a flip.

Of course they didn't cause any part of the spikes anywhere in the country. That would change the narrative a bit and make the looters, rioters, and peaceful protesters part of the problem with the virus.

Large groups of people gathering are discouraged for a reason. Add chanting, screaming, yelling, less than 100% mask wearing, hours around the same folks, etc. and you have to see that the possibility is huge that it contributed at least some cases to the spikes.

If you believe in the truth, it is that the "spike" was coming whenever we reopened more and more businesses, leisure destinations, casinos, and everything else. That includes ALL large gatherings. Some areas, now as in the earlier days, have more infections than others. I am pretty sure we knew that could happen back when we talked about "flattening the curve"...but no one was sure it would.

Glad we’re on the same page.

Gotta find some other scapegoat now!
