  1. Again, so what? They don't have the numbers or political acumen to make any difference whatsoever in a Presidential election.
  2. So you are saying the backing of the KKK and The Nazi Party as the impetus that won Mr. Trump the 2016 election? Who is the favorite candidate of the Flat Earthers?
  3. You do know the popular vote is meaningless in a Presidential Election? Why do you and other democrats keep bringing it up?
  4. Mayor Hogsett announces plans to remove Confederate monument from Garfield Park https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/indianapolis/2020/06/04/mayor-announces-plan-remove-confederate-monument-garfield-park/3144181001/ Frankly I fail to see how thing kind of monument "glorifies" the south, racism, and the cause of slavery. If anything it is a reminder that 1,616 men died due to Union neglect and negligence, not in battle. Did they truly deserve that fate, regardless of what side they fought on?
  5. So Gonzoron is now the GID OOB Meme Police as well as the resident Grammar/Spelling Nazi.
  6. It appears everybody is a racist on this forum, except for Gonzoron of course.
  7. Dhimmi Drew Brees Bends The Knee https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/drew-brees-dhimmi-bends-the-knee/ Then boom! He became a Crescent City Hitler. The blowback from even his own teammates was intense. He had gone from being their beloved teammate to being their enemy, to judge by their comments. And now, this from Brees: That is incredibly dispiriting. If I were Brees, I would retire before allow anybody to bully me into saying something I didn’t believe, or apologizing for holding the flag with such admiration. Brees certainly doesn’t need the money. I say that as someone who thinks people were wrong to crack on Colin Kaepernick for his kneeling at the National Anthem. Whether I liked him doing it or not, I respected his right to protest. I also respect Drew Brees’s right to keep standing. Now, though, we see that there is only one opinion allowed. If you disagree, then even people who have worked with you for years will call you a racist. Thus, even a very rich and famous athlete can be brought to heel overnight. I despise this bullying, this coercion. Time to re-up this Les Murray poem:
  8. https://reason.com/2020/06/03/its-time-to-bust-police-unions/ In other words, the research finds about what you'd expect given a public sector workforce with unions set up to protect police officer compensation while limiting discipline and oversight. Police get paid more, yet the public is no safer—and it's even at greater risk of violence by police. ....... Unions aren't the only problem plaguing American police forces; there are plenty of other reforms worth pursuing, from demilitarization to ending qualified immunity. But they have consistently proven to be a force of organized resistance to calmer, safer, less aggressive policing, in part because of how they perceive the nature of the job. That has been true in Minneapolis, where the police killing of George Floyd sparked nationwide protests. Bob Kroll, the president of the city's police union, wrote a letter to fellow officers describing Floyd, who was not resisting as an officer pressed a knee into his neck for nearly nine minutes, as a "violent criminal." Kroll has also referred to protesters as part of a "terrorist movement." He argued that officers were wrongly made to hold back on using less-lethal munitions to suppress riots, and he complained that the officers fired for their involvement in Floyd's death were "terminated without due process." Like other police union leaders, Kroll has resisted efforts to rein in police aggression. After the city's mayor banned "warrior training" courses that teach violent confrontation, Kroll decried the ban and struck a deal for city cops to take the course anyway. Janeé Harteau, a former Minneapolis police chief who resigned in 2017 following a police shooting, indicated that Kroll's remarks are typical of the sort of resistance to reform she encountered while chief, saying they represented "the battle that myself and others have been fighting against." In an interview with STIM radio in April, The Intercept reports that Kroll noted that he has been involved in three shootings, "and not one of them has bothered me." He lamented the emphasis on training cops to de-escalate tense situations, and cast the job as one for people who have a high threshold for violence: "Certainly getting shot at and shooting people takes a different toll, but if you're in this job and you've seen too much blood and gore and dead people then you've signed up for the wrong job." Beyond the legal and contractual particulars, these are the kinds of attitudes that police unions extol and reinforce. They contribute to a workplace culture that views policing as a job for individuals who remain unbothered by the results of violence. Police are public servants granted enormous power over the citizenry. They are tasked with protecting the public and serving their interests. Police unions, in contrast, are tasked with protecting police and serving their interests—even in direct contravention of serving the public. That distinction makes them a barrier to reforms aimed at improving public safety and increasing oversight of how law enforcement behaves. If union-busting is what it takes to reduce the pernicious influence of today's police unions on policing, then it's time to bust some police unions. Agreed. In fact all public sector unions needs to be busted, and made illegal.
  9. Was the 2020 Wuhan Coronavirus an Engineered Biological Attack on China by America for Geopolitical Advantage? https://www.unz.com/article/was-the-2020-wuhan-coronavirus-an-engineered-biological-attack-on-china-by-america-for-geopolitical-advantage/ A very long and rambling read, but worth it.

  11. And it wasn't what I was referring to when I posted a link containing some of Mr. Biden's past congressional activities. Why do your feel Mr. Biden is running for POTUS?
  12. He wasn't a member of the U.S. Congress for almost 40 years plus a VP for eight? Sorry, I have little use for career politicians.
  13. Joe Biden Basically Admits Libertarians Were Right All Along: Cops Shouldn't Have Military Gear https://reason.com/2020/06/02/joe-biden-basically-admits-libertarians-were-right-all-along-cops-shouldnt-have-military-gear/ Anything to stay in power.
  14. Riots May Be Destructive, but Abusive Policing Is Tyranny https://reason.com/2020/06/01/riots-may-be-destructive-but-abusive-policing-is-tyranny/
  15. The military-industrial-complex, which basically runs the country, has zero interest in such a Constitutional crisis. Such a thing threatens their profit margins. So if Mr. Trump were to signal as such he would be privately persuaded that a peaceful transition of the presidency is in his, and his family's, best interest.
  16. Hmm. One could say the exact same about you, dear gonzoron. Since when is the simple statement, and I quote, " The rioting and destruction of personal property was a false flag accomplished by far right wing extremist groups to shine the peaceful protests in a bad light. " considered a meme?
