President Trump surely knows how to deal with them. He signed into law 10 years imprisonment for the destruction of national monuments and statues and we have not heard anyone threatening to pull down any statue since. cheesy
Hey I had not noticed this.

The hate rally on Thursday at the garden in the White House already claim four people with Trumpvirus and more will soon come out with the virus in about 2 weeks. I am fine with them coming g down with Trumpvirus because they are following the Orange cult leader to their graves. Herman Cain was a good example of that.
Corona did not affect the protesters?

What have you to say about the March on Washington crowd? I am sure coronavirus doesn't spread in those kinda of events right? It only spreads at Trump rallies and churches. You can gather in the streets and riot all day, or March in gay pride rallies or join a crowd at the seven funerals of George Floyd and coronavirus can't spread there. Isn't Amazing!

Yes they can and how come Trump and his family can vote by mail and other Americans can't. That's the question I want you answered.
Why not vote in person if millions of peaceful protesters are able to go out without worrying about corona?
Or are the protesters only a few hundred paid well coordinated bunch ?

Your life depends on your useless meme. I know you don't know a damn thing about America. All souls are equal in America from Jeff Bezos to the poorest guys, they are all entitled to one man/woman, one vote. What makes Trump and his wife to vote by Mail in makes it for other Americans to do same. We do not live under dictatorship here even though the Fat Pig think he's a King.
You never answered. Can the postal service handle 260m plus ballots? Especially in states that are doing a full mail in for the first time?.
And why mail in?
Wuhan virus.
And those rioters in the street Does corona only affect those going to church, or vote But rioters are not affected?

Kyle Rittenhouse shot 36-year-old
Joseph Rosenbaum after Rosenbaum
chased the teen, threw something at
him and tried to take away his firearm.
According to the criminal complaint, the
medical examiner found that
Rosenbaum was shot in the groin, back
and hand. He also suffered a superficial
graze wound on his left thigh and a
graze wound to the side of his head.

Rosenbaum was also a convicted sex
offender involving a crime with a minor.
Joseph Rosenbaum
26-year-old Anthony Huber beat Kyle
Rittenhouse with a skateboard before he
was shot dead.
Rittenhouse was being chased by a BLM
mob when he tripped and fell. At this
point, Huber bashed him in the back of
the head/neck with a skateboard.
Rittenhouse defended himself and shot
Huber in the chest. Huber immediately
dropped and died.

skateboard
26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz had his
arm partially blown off after he
aggressively rushed at 17-year-old Kyle
Rittenhouse, who had just tripped and
fallen while being chased by the BLM
mob.
Grosskreutz had a gun in his hand when
he ran up to Rittenhouse, so in self
defense, the 17-year-old discharged his
weapon, blew off part of Grosskreutz’s
arm, saving his own life.
Rittenhouse was about to get a bullet to
the head, but he acted quickly and shot
Grosskreutz in self defense.
A friend of Gaige’s said that his only
regret was not being able to kill 17-year-
old Rittenhouse.

“So the kid shot gaige as he drew his
weapon and gaige retreated with his gun
in hand. I just talked to Gaige
Grosskreutz too his only regret was not
killing the kid and hesitating to pull the
gun before emptying the entire mag into
him. Coward,” a friend of Grosskreutz
wrote in a chat.

The police criminal complaint

[b]

Daily Caller reporter Richard McGinnis,
who administered first aid to the first
man shot, is a key witness in the
complaint.

The first man shot and killed was
Joseph Rosenbaum, who is described
as chasing Rittenhouse across a parking
lot. In a video, the complaint said,
Rosenbaum “appears to throw an
object” at Rittenhouse, which appeared
to be a plastic bag and did not hit him.
After a loud bang was heard on the
video, Rosenbaum continued to pursue
Rittenhouse until he was shot. McGinnis
is quoted in the complaint as saying that
Rosenbaum appeared to be trying to
grab the gun from Rittenhouse.
McGinnis adds that he had just spoken
to Rittenhouse and advised him that he
was not handling his weapon well when
Rosenbaum and other people began
chasing Rittenhouse. No provocation for
the pursuit is described in the pursuit.
The complaint then describes
Rittenhouse running away from a large
group of people, some of whom were
attacking him and shouting things such
as, “Get him! Get that dude!” and “Beat
him up!”. During the melee, the second
man shot and killed, Anthony Huber, is
described as having attacked
Rittenhouse with a skateboard after the
latter had fallen to the ground. Huber is
also described as having attempted to
grab Rittenhouse’s gun before being
shot once and later dying from that
wound.
A third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, is also
described as having approached
Rittenhouse. At first, according to the
complaint, Grosskreutz raised his hands
in a gesture of surrender, then continued
approaching and appeared to be holding
a handgun. He was then shot in the
right arm.
Rittenhouse also faces a charge of
recklessly endangering safety through
the use of a dangerous weapon, based
on the claim that McGinnis was in the
line of fire when Rittenhouse first shot
his attacker. According to the complaint,
McGinnis thought he himself may have
been shot at the time. Another charge of
recklessly endangering safety refers to
an unknown individual who is described
as having been in the line of fire later in
the confrontation.
Rittenhouse is also charged with a
firearms violation for possession of a
dangerous weapon under age 18, with a
minimum penalty of nine months in jail.
He faces six criminal counts overall.

Those electing Biden What is his position on
Nafta
Killing Solemani
US embassy in Jerusalem
NATO restructuring
Taking on China unfair practices
Border wall

Looks like democrats have only the fear of the unknown that they do not talk about those issues How they will handle them better.

The tactic is simply call everyone else racist and not worth listening to.

Trump's father Fred died in 1999 of dementia and his grandfather who migrated to US from Germany died of dementia too. Dementia is hereditary according to the Doctors and Scientists who researched it and from there a lot of Americans believe that trump's in mid stage dementia. He slurs his speech, could barely stand straight or walk with straight gait. Trembling hands and that's why he always hold a small glass of water with his two hands. Forgeting what he says after an hour and constant lying. Typical traits of a dementia filled fellow y'all.
The onus is on Joe Biden to undertake a cognitive test if he really is OK.
Afraid of facing free press, he only answers preselected journos.
And the chances of holding a debate are not 100% as yet. Trump is roaring for a debate.

How. A shithole country is generally a poor mismanaged country without adequate safeguards to the rule of law.

The question you should ask yourself is, what was Kyle Rittenhouse doing with an AR-15 rifle where people are protesting? There are law enforcement agents who are trained to deal with anarchy, looting and arson.
CHAZ in Seattle two people were. shot.
The third protester whose right hand was shot yesterday was holding a Glock pistol.

They were trying to arrest a man with a gun because they are Superman or commando or what? Somebody with a gun is running away from them, instead of their common sense to tell them to let him go, they kept on pursuing him until he used the gun on them. My brother, it's their foolishness that killed them.
First guy shot was chasing and throwing stuff at him, obviously not candy.This guy did not heed the warning shot. This guy threw a molotov cocktail at the fleeing armed teen.

Next guy hit him on the head when he fell down, then tried to snatch the rifle, he got a bullet while holding the barrel.

Third guy was coming at him with a pistol, his right hand was shot. Doubtful he will ever use that hand. again.

They were all white. He discharged more rounds but noone else was shot.He only shot those
who presented a clear danger to him

I agree with Sanders on this but the weird fact is the minute you point this out, the crazy right starts shouting "radical left".
Always a good thing to tax at a higher band for those with higher incomes. Jeff Bezos wealth is not on liquidity but on the value of his stocks. He might even have very little cash in the bank.
The profits end Financial Year might be ploughed back into the business, leaving very little for dividend disbursement. Companies do it all the time.Majority shareholders usually will not have a problem with this since most of them are long term investors. Unlike those who buy low and sell when stocks rise. How does he plan to tax stocks capital gain unless one liquidates the holdings?
He initially wanted to tax millionaires , then he became one and changed tune to tax those with 50m and above. Why not with 2m like him?
After 2016 he became a millionaire, now owns 3 houses and who knows from the proceeds of his 2020 campaign how many more houses he will acquire.
Real estate value increase might also be the next on his tax wish.

Socialism is good until other people's money runs out.

There are some untruths being peddled.
He shot a person first Then he was chased down and then shot two more.
This does not make sense. There is that guy slamming him on the head with a skateboard. Do you run after an armed guy (who has just shot someone ) with a skateboard? The shooter is down on tarmac holding a rifle and the guy is hitting him with a skateboard.
And the guy shot in the hand is holding a pistol in the hand that was shot? Why was this guy carrying a pistol.
