Did this woman shoot her weapon? No, she did not. There is no story here. This is American left-wing media inventing a story where there is none in order to incite racial passions.

 

They got what they wanted, which was a picture of a white person pointing a gun at a black person. The fact that nothing happened is beside the point. It's big news, regardless. Xenophobic, racist white nationalist threatens to fire upon peaceful black protestors. There's your headline.

They are now being investigated by St. Louis Circuit Attorney for possible threats against the crowd exercising their First Amendment rights. That's the story now.

Yes, try rallying those allies and see where that gets you. And we all know how hawkish Obama was with regards to China. Biden has publicly stated that he does not even consider China a threat. Trump's unilateralism is predicated upon the complete lack of teeth where western powers have sought to appease China rather than defy it. Does Biden even have a foreign policy? This is the first I've heard of it.

That is lots of things you can't fathom but yet you able to string a post.

Okay, so what's the better option? Biden? What exactly is your alternative? Where's the "strong man" in the democratic party? Well, there isn't one, is there? At least it's China that has Trump's grapefruit in a vise, and not some fat hag he calls his wife.

The better option is to rally your allies to confront China. Biden has much incumbency working with Obama and allies to confront China like stepping up WTO trade enforcement measures and blocking several high profile acquisition deals involving China. TPP excluded China was a measure to block China trade influence. All these measures were truncated by Trump's combative and unilateral policy, rejecting TPP and alienating the allies. Biden's foreign policy will be a huge improvement.

Elect the democrats in 2020 and you'll hear even less than a squeak. And at least be honest. The only thing China fears about the West is Trump. It has no reason whatever to fear anyone or anything else.

Hard to fear when China has a grip on Trump's grapefruit. Similar Putin and Kim are playing Trump like a fiddle. All of those leaders mentioned have lifetime presidency; Trump is out-going and is more bark than bite. According to Bolton, Trump crumbled at the feet of Xi pleading for him to save his election. So much for your self indulgence in believing Trump is a strong man and the best deal maker. ????

Bill Gates' contributions to WHO are many times larger than China's. China does not control, it manipulates.

 

I think you mean China influence not manipulate. It got to do with Trump withdrawing funds and membership and China donating large amount of funds and thus able to influence. Trump’s wrong move to withdraw also allow China to work with WHO in many projects. Trump’s foreign policies contribute to China rising profile as world leader.

Trump stopped short of calling for an immediate end to privileges

Looks like the world greatest deal maker has been checkmate by China fulfilling just 25% of the phase 1 trade deal.

I agree WHO is a puppet, whether China is their controller - not so sure, look at who their biggest financial "supporter" is (Kill Bill Gates) then I think you will be getting nearer to finding out who really controls them!

I don't think Bill Gates has an official role in WHO to assert control and he is also not the largest donor. 

It should be over then came USA and change the trajectory.

That is a complete misconception
you do not die if you "get covid"
using your logic
the same applies for crossing a road
once you die, regardless of the cause, you do not get a 2nd chance, that is obvious

but as long as YOU are ok, everything is fine...........????‍♂️

Just using your own words ‘Covid deaths’. Losing your memory.

So your saying all ar 15 are assault weapons

I admit that I omitted the word Colt which may lead to misunderstanding. The Colt AR 15 is an assault rifle.

actually, that's a civilian with a scary-looking semi-automatic assualt-style rifle.

 

not an automatic weapon.

not an assault rifle.

not military grade.

You got some right that it is a semi-auto assault rifle. I am quite certain that it is a M-16. I was trained in the M-16 precursor AR-15 to recognize the features. It was a US military standard service rifle and also used by other armed forces around the world. While the US military has largely replaced the M16 in frontline combat, the rifle is still standard army issue assault rifle aka military grade.

Crazy times in the USA with all of the riots and killings,gun sales are up 

That is not accurate as regards to assault weapons. Majority of people are against law allowing ownership of assault weapons in the 2018 poll. It is the GOP lawmakers that were resisting the ban. 

Here is my 2 satang contribution if it is worthy of a read for getting rid of weeds.

3.5 L of white vinegar + 1/2 cup salt + generous splash of dish soap. Spray multiple times until weeds disappeared. Have not try this concoction yet but soon.

It’s not about believing trump, but about reading full article and seeing if story makes sense  and the only people for whom it makes sense are the trump haters and not because of the story itself but because of their blind hate of trump

We will soon know as a bipartisan group of congressional leaders is demanding the Trump's administration explain what it knew about the bounty report. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and CIA Director Gina Haspel has been summoned to provide all-member briefings to Congress. Several key GOP are pressing for more information from Trump's administration. There will be confetti and popcorn when Trump's allegation that it was a Russia hoax will be exposed that he again has been compromised. Russiagate 2.

“Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @NYTimesbnooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad.”

if this were true, too many people would know about it.  russians, afghanis, nsa, cia, low-level collection techs, translators, analysis desk experts, comms people, not to mention dozens of foreign intel agencies also active in the zone and in washington.

 

this is the moskau pee-tape all over again.  get it into the news, force the trump regime to issue a denial, and have the talking heads ask "what did the president know and when did he know it" with spooky music playing in the background.

 

 

If you read this report, GOP Lindsey and Liz Cheney seem to cast doubts whether Trump was honest when he said the intelligence reported to him. They asked for details and further investigation.

This will do wonder for his already dismal polls. Another own goal by the clueless Trump. He is such a giving person.
