    Merkel declines Trump invite for in-person G7 summit


    Spokesman says German chancellor cannot agree to travel to Washington 'considering the overall pandemic situation'.

     

    President Donald Trump has suggested he will host in the United States despite concerns over the coronavirus.

     

    Leaders from the G7 had been scheduled to meet by videoconference in late June after the pandemic scuttled plans to gather in-person at Camp David, the US presidential retreat.

    This is no longer about George Floyd.

     

    His death has been hijacked by Antifa, BLM, college student radicals, young uneducated locals and some of the general populace that want in on the action.   But the driving force is coming from the professional activists Antifa/BLM.  
     

    It’s clear to me that the local and state governments are not up to the task of protecting their communities.  I think Trump is going to have to step in and provide military support in conjunction with local and state governments.

     

    And then I think they need to begin a federal probe and investigation into who is funding these organized efforts to tear down the communities.  And then label them as domestic terrorists and to crack down on them.

     

    But first the government has a duty to protect their citizenry and they need to do that now.

     

     

    They don't want to. They want all the blame to go on Trump. They want Trump to be the bad guy. No doubt when the violence escalates they will be the first to condemn Trump's response. They will just be a footnote when it's in history books.

    The anti-Trumpers I know are gleeful. No doubt this is the prevailing attitude among the Progs.

     

    They don't actual care about anything but damaging Trump. One was looking forward to some white kid protesters getting killed ala Kent State, saying how the only thing that will make them (white people) care is if white kids die, and it could turn the tide against Trump in the election. Didn't even cover it with fake somberness, but smiling away in anticipation.

     

    Real sick people.

    For sure, no one knows that he's a member of antifa any more than they know he is a white nationalist. It is a Rorschach test  in a way. 

    It's probably also true that  the overwhelming majority of people can look at what happened to George Floyd and say that it was horrible and wrong, and also say the same thing about the looting and burning. 

    The fact that most people can agree about the central issue, and be entirely divided on the cause and solution just says that the forces at work to divide us are really effective. 

     

     

    Yeah....that's not my point.

     

    My point is that there is a battle to get this guy established as on a particular "team", and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the "truth".

    It's starting to look like the breaking of windows at the Auto Zone was organized as an excuse for the police to start tear gassing the protest. 

     

    The man with the black umbrella smashed out the windows.  "Free ***** for Everyone Zone" has been spray painted in the door before he started breaking the windows. He goes to the dumpster and probably throws out a can of spray paint.

    Within 30 secs of smashing the windows, and the moment he goes behind the building you hear the gas get fired into the crowd.

     

     

     



    By the time he gets down the street in this video, the crowd is dispersing due to the tear gas:

    I don't know who this guy is aligned with, but I do know there are lots of people working to establish him in the general public's eyes as an agent for whoever they oppose, be it white nationalists, antifa, the police, or some other faction.

    There is a 100% chance this cop is arrested and charged with a very serious crime.  Whether or not it happened a few days ago or in a few days is should largely be irrelevant to the larger objective, which is justice.

     

    Everything else is just excuses and justification for behavior or political positions.

     

     

    I'm expecting a slaughter at some point. I

     

     

    If this continues into tonight (all indications are that it will) there is going to be at least a casualty or two.

     

    Then on to the next step in the escalation.

    I was referring to the specific video I posted. Did you watch it and see the person in question who actually busted out the windows of the Auto Zone? 

     

    I didn't say neo-nazi or skin head. I said white nationalist. And I think there are probably multiple agent provocateurs involved in a lot of the escalation in Minneapolis. 

     

     

    Everyone is responsible for their own actions.

     

    Whoever that guy is, there are far more people that are obviously not "White Nationalists", looting and destroying things.

    To error on the side of caution in case of a second wave in the fall , stockpile convalescent plasma and remdesivir . 

     

    I would pay recovered patients at least $200 for convalescent plasma , it might be well worth it.

     

     

    "Pics, or it didn't happen"

     

    Please, go buy some plasma, and post a photo of it. Do it just to prove me wrong when I say "ALF,  you're full of *****".

    Out of curiosity. How many people here fall

    under one of the following:

     

    A. Full on quarantine. Wears masks in confined public places like Home Depot or a grocery store and the such. Doesn’t go anywhere else or see anyone. 
     

    B. Partial quarantine. Goes to work but wears a mask the entire day and practices SD (6 feet distance)

     

    C. Gets our regularly and sees friends and family, but wears a mask and practices SD. 
     

    D. Going to the restaurants and barbershops and every where else. No mask. No SD. 

     

    E.  Go out regularly, pull up my bandana just before entering a public building.

     

    I am willing to conform that much, but I wouldn't go visit people with a mask and maintain 6 feet of distance. I just act normally. I don't know any older, or high risk people. If I did, I would wear a mask around them.

     

    Basically, I only conform when in a closed space with the general public.

     

    I think it's a suitable level  of precaution.

  11. This guy has an interesting stream....I think there are a wide variety of people there, and gives me kind of the Regular Black Dude On The Scene perspective.

     

    He is not happy about any aspect of the situation, the cops OR the rioters.

    mayor...I just posted it up above.

    And the Governor apparently is MIA as well.

     

    They are too weak to get the job done.

     

     

     

     

    Basically, they are tossing gas on the fire before passing the buck to Trump.

    Looks like Twitter has made their decision and are ready to pick this battle.

     

    The city is literally burning down and the mayor and governor has completely abdicated any sense of rule and law for their city and community.

     

    It's a disgrace.

     

     

     

    I really want to know where the order to evacuate the precinct came from.

    The previous precinct that was burned was the 3rd. Another one is also in danger.

     

     

     

     

    Where is the order to abandon the precincts coming from?

    It almost looks like a trap. It definitely encourages the rioters to continue.

    So your theory is that Stevie Nicks was (at a young age) 100% perfect from head to toe, from what we could see of her .... hair, face, full frontal body .... but somehow, God said, "eh, let's give her a dumpy ass." 

     

    You're crazy.

     

     

    Initially, I just wanted to point out that I have never seen a photo of her ass, and that it's very odd for that to be the case considering her celebrity, and sex symbol status.

     

    I think she hides it.

     

    And I think she hides it because it's not that great, and instead accentuates her stronger "features", which she doesn't seem very shy about (which highlights the fact that she is hiding her ass).
