The US is doing just great under President Trump, thankyaverymuch. Of course you, and your piece of shit comrades, including your gang here on BB&B, HATE the USA, want to see it crumble beneath the feet of communism/globalism and despise our gallant POTUS because he thwarts your every effort. I won't call you a "moron" because that implies stupidity. Nope, in your case, you know exactly what you are doing and that is being anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-goodness....
He's just "playing the hits"...polls got him nervous. If he doesn't carry 90% of the shrinking republican voter base, he's toast. He knows it. Most of the posters here know it too...that's why they're extra salty.Quote:

The Marxist here are going to vote for more taxes, the green deal crushing energy in country and raising prices by 30%. Also welcoming in the end of private gun ownership, need based social security, many private school’s loosing non profit status. Basically taking my retirement I have worked the last 40 years and giving it to those that think like them. Please move somewhere else.
The non-Marxists will be as well because Trump is unacceptable.Quote:

You accept human decency as a moving target based on a combination of what the courts rule and what groups like Antifa and BLM demand.
And just to be clear.. you have no problems with more taxes, green deal, end of private gun ownership, universal health care, and elimination of private 401K..Quote:

The way Trump was spending money, higher taxes were coming anyway...even before the COVID cash. Green new deal...less likely than Trump's wall being paid for by Mexico. Gun ownership? I was born in 1981 and, in my memory, we've had two Presidents that signed gun legislation that curtailed 2nd amendment rights. They were Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. Trump supports covering Pre-Ex, so a vote for him is not doing anything to lower the cost of healthcare. Your private 401K isn't going anywhere.
Trump tweeted earlier today that the left is radical AND do nothing. He's going to have to act like Biden is AOC, but also sleepy and decrepit. Can't be both folks.
What about the rest of those positions.. Since you did not answer those, one can assume you are for those as well...Quote:

Seattle held 'segregated' training session on 'undoing whiteness,' encouraged staffers to forfeit 'guaranteed physical safety'
'Racism is not our fault but we are responsible,' one handout declared.
The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to documents obtained by a public records request.
The session took place on June 12, as protesters took part in the so-called "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" in the Capitol Hill district.
One handout distributed in the session reportedly declared how “racism is not our fault but we are responsible." Another said White staffers must give up “the land” and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for racial justice.

On Monday, he published copies of the materials distributed to employees in the session on his Twitter account.

I thought I would post this here as this an active thread, this should give some people something to think about .
The Peace of Paris 1893 .[3][4] Only Article 1 of the treaty, which acknowledges the United States' existence as free sovereign and independent state Britain acknowledges the United States (New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia[15]) to be free, sovereign, and independent states. We formed a federal government and the states are a member of the United States at their pleasure and can leave if they want. Think about this if the blue wave over comes common sense.
1783...not 1893. And 6 years later said “sovereign, independent states” formed a pact - a Constitution where the formed “a more perfect union” vesting certain preemptive executive, legislative and judicial powers in the federal government.Quote:

The lack of discussion regarding the Dem VP candidate is worrisome. Last I heard it would be a "female person of color" (part black female who can still claim LGBTQ status). Is Hillary just waiting in the wings? Will the Dems SCan Biden at the last minute?

But, Trump’s stunt with the flag over the White House after McCain’s passing was genuinely disgusting, and inappropriate.
You have your opinion, and I have mine, and my opinion of McCain is that he, like almost every other US senator and US representative in Washington, served the DC establishment first and foremost. McCain had conviction? I say that's BS. His deciding vote on Obamacare was an anti-Trump vote that was orchestrated by the DC establishment, nothing else. He was used as their puppet. I don't understand why people like you want to build him up into something he simply never was. He was a typical self serving DC politician, nothing more.Quote:

Back to elections...
both Trump and Biden easily won the Louisiana Primary last night, no surprise there.
In local elections, however, the entire incumbent Natchitoches City Council up for re-election was either defeated or came in 2nd and managed to survive to a runoff. They may not, probably won't, win the runoff. That includes Lee Posey, current mayor, who has taxed and spent his way into political oblivion. He is responsible for the $18 million+ debacle of the new ball park, and the raping of the emergency infrastructure fund which had $11 million in it, and is depleted now. What I find amazing is how certain voters hold local officials accountable for stupid policies, yet turn a blind eye toward those on the national scene. Some of the same exact voters who are pissed off at Mayor Posey, voted for Joe Biden last night, and will again in November and will always support the tax-n-spend democraps! National debt is okay...city debt is intolerable!
New Mayor in Monroe after a 20 year screw up.
Granted I wasn't following this very close. I live in Ruston but work in Monroe. If I'd actually been at the office I'm sure I would have had some conversations with those in the Monroe/West Monroe area. It did however take me by surprise.Quote:

-- defunding police departments forcing us to become Mexico and South America
-- elimination of all border enforcement agents and immigration law
-- guaranteed rigged elections
-- censorship and criminalization of all dissenting thought or speech exactly like China has today and what we are seeing already (firings when employees criticize BLM)
They want everything else available for taking once we are defenseless. Who's going to stop them, if we can't? Police, today, are kneeling (literally) to them.
We didn't learn from South Africa.....what happened there? They took everything.....farms, homes, property and killed the owners......who stopped them? Their new government supported it.....just like BLM and antifa does here.
Is this what any patriotic American wants? I hope not because this is what they say they support over a POTUS they just don't like as a person.
These are my original thoughts on the matter - not copied from FOX as I will certainly be accused if any Dem even reads my post.
Kinda hard to read. It's clear that the propagandists want you to believe these things are true. Isn't it also possible that a dem vote is simply a vote against an incompetent "leader" who really bungled the virus response?Quote:

Please explain what Biden, AOC, et al, are actually FOR to move our country forward, i.e., improve our economy, protect our country from enemies, protect our borders, and improve our infrastructure. All we KNOW is they hate Trump as a person and apparently hate that Trump has been successful to those ends noted in the prior sentence. Social engineering is not what our Federal Government is designed, IMO. Since Biden seldom leaves his bunker the American people have not been informed of his plans on the important issues. My opinions on their plans are based on discerning what the "code speak" from sources like MSNBC and personal communications with others more knowledgeable than you or me on these matters - or any one on this forum (even JuBru, who doesn't yet realize he is seldom the smartest person in the room, though claiming to always be). Democrat "led" states and cities have/are demonstrating they support lawlessness and anarchy. I conclude their vision to be diabolical and anti American and their supporters likewise. You are a smart man - educate me.Quote:
