The far tight group that wanted to kidnap a leftist Governor is led by a BLM activist. He is on video calling Trump a tyrant. He attended BLM protest over George Floyd.

Some here were calling him right wing.
Apologies expected

Don't vote for Hillary on Nov 3rd.
This is the problem with democrats top dogs. They dont like Trump so they cover up what is me most serious criminal criminal activity by a democrat. I would like to know what was in the emails not bury my head in the sand. Her emails were being copied to a Chinese company ( There is proof of that).FBI covered up what was in the laptop of a registered sex offender Anthony Weiner. There is evidence she manufactured the
Russia collusion with Trump to divert from her email scandal.
She was subpoenad to release her emails, she deleted them instead and crushed her server.
And the media covered it up. And the FBI went full steam to remove Trump from power.

If that does not arouse your sense of equal Justice for all then you need to imagine what will happen in future where criminals run roughshod

Qstorm:
Pompeo announced he has Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 deleted emails, and is ‘in process’ of releasing them publicly
This is how CNN reported this


CNN Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday announced he would release more of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails -- an openly political move on behalf of President Donald Trump ahead of the November election and a year after a State Department investigation concluded there was no "persuasive evidence" of widespread mishandling of classified information by Clinton or her aides.


Typical CNN protecting Clinton. Acting as a spokesperson for americans.The State Dept dis not find malicious intent, why not let the public see for themselves and conclude.

You know nothing. Tax cut encourages retirement savings and business innovation. I am sure your biased mind wint allow you to see that.

President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) into law on Dec. 22 2017.

Tax rate for corporate bodies drop to 21% while for individuals.The top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%.

65% of Americans benefitted from tax cut thanks to the new code.

Anybody that says taxcut is evil does not know anything about economics.

Polls? Funny, If Biden is winning all the polls, (As you all claim) why is crazy Nancy desperate to remove the president with the 25th amendment, she for wait Na, Elections is less than 25 days away, Just wait for is coming in November.
The democrats use Obama leftist judges to pass laws that work to their advantage .Appeals courts including the Supreme court have struck down laws that benefit the democrats and throw the elections into a disarray.
eg Nov 9 mailin ballot acceptance was struck down.
These judges do not want to be blamed for the civil war if it erupts.

The judicial shortcuts are being cut off.
Pelosi has to get another red herring to get rid of Trump.

"In the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy."​

"We rarely publish editorials signed by all the editors," said Dr. Eric Rubin, editor-in-chief of the medical journal and an author of the new editorial.

"This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy," the editorial says.

"Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment,"

"The reason we've never published an editorial about elections is we're not a political journal and I don't think that we want to be a political journal -- but the issue here is around fact, not around opinion. There have been many mistakes made that were not only foolish but reckless and I think we want people to realize that there are truths here, not just opinions," Rubin said.

"For example, masks work. Social distancing works. Quarantine and isolation work. They're not opinions. Deciding not to use them is maybe a political decision but trying to suggest that they're not real is imaginary and dangerous," he said. "We don't have the right leaders for this epidemic. I think we need better leadership."

You are one sick dude who needs attention to breath. Go back to your cave and deal with your local politics and the Thieflicians that are ruining your country. Your post makes no sense. There's a reason Obama won overwhelmingly twice both in popular and electoral votes and I don't expect a villager like you who never step out of Nigeria to comprehend that. Crawl back in your unlit cave please.
Obama played the racist card to the hilt. If you attacked him, the whole world would scream racist.
Im also a racist since I was vocal in some other fora attacking him.
The only going thing for him was that he os black.
He lost the house and the senate within 8 years.

What does that indicate if his policies were good.

Hush your mouth boy. What the fcvk do you know about the economy of US. Just spitting garbage as usual. Google is your friend and it's there for you to compare Obama's economic achievements with Trump.
It appears that you can cut off your nose to spite your face
We call Obama Zero for a reason. He did zilzh in real terms.
If he was a gentleman he is said to be , he would have facilitated a smooth transition after he lost the 2016. Yea Obama lost the 2016 elections not Hillary. Had he been the charismatic leader so loved by all He would not have lost the house and senate in 8 years before losing the presidency.

PrideofLincoln1:
That's why I like you even though we are on the opposite side of the spectrum. When Bush Jnr started the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, American economy was ok not great but after US was spending $5 billion weekly for years on the wars, the economy started collapsing and the body bags coming from Iraq and Afghanistan turned Americans against the war and that's when Dow Jones, Nasdaq and SP started fumbling and Down Jones came down to 6.000 points from about 14.000 points and the Blue Chips companies were going bankrupt. That's when yours truly was scared to death because in America, our 401k is our lifeline to our comfortable retirement. Obama came in Jan 2009 and did the right thing and the stock market rose up with Dow Jones went all the way to over 18.400 points which Trump inherited from Obama.
That movement from 6 to 18k indicates all round growth.
When the dow gains, everyone gains including 401K's.
As for Obama, I really do not credit him with that growth. No increase in shovel ready jobs, low interest rates of 0% , I always felt he was only good with words and looks but not real underlying substance.Kinda felt
he was more concerned about a political first the likes of Martin Luther to satisfy his ego.Thats for another day. It seemed to me he had no idea of what would set him apart from any other previous president, hence his disgust at Trump for rolling back and eliminating his policies.

Where did you get 40% increase from. I told you exactly what happened to me and millions of Americans with 401k and you spitting out falsehoods as usual. By the way, stocks is not the indicator of economic prosperity because only minority of Americans have stocks.
What moved from 6k to 18k

PrideofLincoln1:
Why don't you stop lying on me. Bunch of baloney you are spitting out. What I said was that I lost about 80% of my 401K through my Ariel Investments during George Bush Jnr Iraq and Afghanistan wars when America was hemorrhaging 700.000 jobs monthly and all the Blue Chips companies were going belly up. That was what led Obama to defeat McCain in a landslide. Obama came in and did structural adjustments infused with money in the economy and the economy came back big time and I recovered my money when the Dow Jones went from 6.000 points Bush left to 18.450 when Obama handed over to Trump. I gained some with Trump when he came in and it kind of frozen from there. Bottomline, I gained a little under Trump. Get your facts right please.
I did not say that.You did downplay like you are now.
A 40% increase is meagre when amounts involved are small.

And yeah about the trade war and the impact it had on the u.s.
Factcheck.org is a leftist site. they had this to say about Kamala claim of loss of jobs.

Harris falsely claimed Trump’s China trade war cost 300,000 manufacturing jobs. The U.S. gained 146,000 factory jobs during the first 18 months after the tariffs took effect.

She quoted that article from Moodys you pasted here.

Gdp is a pattern to show how greatly there economy has moved faster than the u.s in the last 20 years, in year 2000 there GDP was 1.211 trillion, that same year the US GDP was 10.25 trillion, right now there GDP is 13 trillion, while the US GDP is 20 trillion, can you see they are moving much more faster. I hope you get it now, this is one of the reasons trump lost the trade war. They are coming for the us.
Ok. How did Trump lose the trade war? Because the China GDP is growing faster than the America.

So painting a mural is bad? He ordered guards around it because of idiots that went to vandalise it. Lol show me the conviction of one Antifa person, it's a stick man talk by trump, that has been dispersed over and over, it's an idea, that literally means anti-fascism, literally, every country that fought against Germany in WWII is Antifa, if you say people are Antifa, that means you agree trump is a fascist? if you can agree that then I can boldly tell you that more than 60 million Americans and more than 1 billion people are Antifa, if you don't agree trump is a Fascist, then Antifa doesn't exist logically. Most of the people wore masks, ask me how I know, they wore a mask because of tear gas that was been shot at, the mask is part of most basic kits, and the protest was not for a ridiculous thing, it's for there lives, they are literally killing people for little to no reason, enough is enough, it just fell into the wrong time, but they had to do it.

Again I want to tell you judging a protest by it's violent participants, but not judge the police department by it's bad cops if the language of the oppressor. Also why is murder a good response to property damage but property damage isn't a good response to murder?

Look at the image below, count how many people you don't see with masks, some don't have masks obviously. But 75% does for a good cause that's okay.
One person in a sealed vehicle is a super spreader while it's ok fot 25% of a few hundreds .With no social distancing

And the Antifa/Blm rioters without masks outside WH who burnt a church
He painted a mural for the blm And ordered 8 SWAT guys to guard it round the clock.
