I get it. You're upset he hasn't taken the bait. You literally WANT him to activate the feds so you whine about him being a dictator. State issue.... their problem. And besides, don't you agree that the federal government getting involved is a last resort? And how can we be there already given such inaction by the governors responsible for their states? Nice try. And besides, we're told Antifa violence is all in our imagination. Violence? What violence. Sorry, but Democrats own their problems 100%. Don't come whining to Trump now.

Once again, a deflection. I just pointed out that it was Donald Trump who threatened to send in the military if governors didn't send in the national guard. Not much evidence of that on his part since the D.C. debacle.  How is pointing that outt evidence that I want him to do that? Spare us your mindreading act.

And you claimed re the mobilization of the National guard that "It's the state's [sic] responsibilty.  Period." But it's not, is it?

Good luck.

Biden's fundraising surpassed Trump's in May and June.

It's the state's responsibility. Period. That's why each state has their own National Guard and the governor is the commander.

 

Sorry, but your blame Trump mantra is completely without any merit whatsoever.

As you may not be aware, the President has the power to mobilize the National Guard. All he has to do is declare a national emergency. And Trump has threatened to deploy the military if governors don't deploy their National Guard units. So what is he waiting for?

 Trump threatens 'heavily armed' military deployments to quash protests if governors and mayors do not 'establish an overwhelming law-enforcement presence'

President Trump said during a statement in the Rose Garden on Monday that he is taking "immediate action” to mobilize “all available federal resources” to stop riots and looting across the country, threatening to deploy the military if states don’t send in the National Guard to protests.

"I will fight to protect you," Trump said in an evening protest, ahead of what's expected to be more protests in the city of Washington on Monday night over the death in Minnesota of George Floyd.

Immediately following the speech, in an extraordinary scene, the president and his entourage walked outside of the White House, across Lafayette Square, to St. Johns Episcopal Church, which caught on fire during the protesters the night before.

SCOTUS has upheld voter ID. 

Given how the current majority was chosen, why should that be a surprise? 5-4 decisions leave room for doubt.

Now where on Earth did you get the crazy idea that getting an ID or anything else in life needs to be easy? That concept is just plain bizarre.

Because voting is a right. Not something you have to earn.

A rational person would surmise a lot of illegal voting is going on because the chances of getting caught are so low. It's much like why a lot of people drive over the speed limit. This is very basic stuff.

 

Now where on Earth did you get the crazy idea that getting an ID or anything else in life needs to be easy? That concept is just plain bizarre.

The chances of getting caught may be low but the penalties are pretty disastrous. And what would be the incentive that would outweigh the penalties?

Quite so, and I never do. Nor did Jeffrey Epstein.

 

What the "survivors" did, they did very knowingly, without being drugged and without alcohol.

 

They did it for pure hard cash.

 

They had sex with Epstein for years in some cases. Took up his offers of world wide trips, education. Then 13 years later turned around and sued Ghislaine Maxwell and receive millions.

 

Much like the accusers of Harvey Weinstein will now be in line to receive millions from the assets of the Weinstein companies.

 

The absoutely most astonishing part in the Netflix docu about Epstein was when one of his accusers goes on to claim she was raped, ran away with bloody feet and cried herself to sleep, then resurfaces a few minutes later to say they invited her on a trip to Africa and she agreed to go. And that it was the single most amazing time of her life.

 

If she was so terribly raped, why would she later agree to go on a trip to Africa with the man she claimed raped her?

 

It doesn't matter. They were underage kids. By law, Epstein had no right to make them those offers. The law understands that kids have to be protected from themselves.

please post a link the statutes covering the penalties for callousness, crassness, ignorance and stupidity.

 

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

This is not a question of criminal law so I have no idea why you're asking for a link to statutes.

Now I know you're a troll, I made no claim but if you actually read correctly you'd know, perhaps some reading comprehension courses would help.

I don't know if you were using "you" in a plural sense or just directed either at me or barmbeker. At any rate, I assumed that barmbeker was quoting you because he use quotation marks. That was a mistaken assumption. But if you're accusing me of being a troll on account of that, well, that's nonsense.

I seen a lot of red paint splattered  on buildings ,streets, police cars, signs,monuments and  statues. Many signs with the clenched fist,a all to familiar symbol of anti capitalist !  Thank goodness the President stymied  this revolt on the republic, by the left and  maxist radicals. Given time ,if they couldn't knock them down they would of completed the job, in my opinion!

 

  

All that stood between The United States and a Communist Takeover were some cans of paint thinner. That was a close one.

As I said - ineffectively.

 

So if somebody robs a bank and gets away with it, it's not his fault but rather that of the guards who failed to stop him?

At last, Trump has taken to heart the advice of his coronavirus task force

Oops,  My mistake.

This looks encouraging...if you're on the side of the virus.
