This was helpful to me. Others may want to read her thread.

I saw talk of several locations (Several smaller conventions), but also Texas has welcomed them with open arms. I think they would prefer a “swing” state, but right now they probably have limited options.

I have always hated when he does that. The stock market is nothing if not volatile, and has been for many moons.

Language, but this woman speaks the truth...

Well, he's gonna be labeled alt-right now, that's for sure.

Not engaging. ?

Ok, ignoring that asinine statement... his mask hanging off his ear has me laughing out loud.

Juneteenth in "fly over country" is a BIG deal. I wonder what Trump has up his sleeve?

You are firm in your libertarian convictions, I will say that. Let's just say we will agree to disagree on this.

And you still believe he's an attorney? Even after all the nonsense he's spouted!? And you believe he'd honor a bet when proven wrong? You're a good guy, but come on... he would never, ever uphold to the terms of the bet. He'd simply come back under a different nic.

Boy, this comment gets it (second tweet):

I do not know if any of you read Legal Insurrection. There is a campaign afoot to get Professor Jacobson (who owns Legal Insurrection and is a Cornell Law Professor) fired or "publicly denounced." Now, you would think a law school would know better, but maybe not?

I have been saying it for a while now. At first it was amusing, then it became obvious that this man has a cognitive issue. It is indeed elder abuse. And to think this man has a chance (slim though it may be) to become President of the United States? Frightening does not begin to express it.

I wonder what happens when Schiffy won't sign?

She's lucky they didn't bring her in for a psych evaluation.

Those clicks... people take a minute to (re)watch them. Clapper tossed Obama under the bus. Brennan lying his ass off. I wonder if anyone will ever get that server? Later in that thread (second video)

What lots of reasons? In the late 1700s and early 1800s in England you basically had to pay for police services and/or you had to hire your own muscle to keep you safe. After that, it got worse as many would have to stand the cost of the prosecution if you wanted someone who personally harmed you prosecuted for the crime, but I did not mean my comment to go that far. If you took it to that extreme, my apologies as I only meant paying for your own police services (and/or muscle to keep you safe). The mafia and gangs are also a way to keep someone safe (from other gangs or mafia). Some were pay (mafia got paid to allow you to not get hurt and your business to go on uninjured), some worked for the mob. The gangs protect you (generic you!) from other gangs. All of this is, of course, simplistic. There is a history of what happens when you do not have a police force that is "free" for everyone equally under the law.

Ditto. Yes, I know. #metoo

Thank you for the list. A lot of it is wrong, slanted, and feelings, but they are reasons. Let me address them: A tax bill that was unnecessary in the first place but primarily helped the wealthy as opposed to the middle class and is adding TONS to our national debt despite being advertised as paying for itself. The tax cuts did not primarily help the wealthy. It has added to the national debt, but Trump was never going to bring that down. If you know anything about real estate people, you know they love to use other people's money. The national debt was never going to be something Trump worked on. A statistically significant rise in hate crimes, attributed likely in some small part at least to his own hateful rhetoric--yes, words do matter, especially from the President. FBI hate crime list. One thing I learned by your statement and having to look at the stats, there are far fewer "hates crimes" than I thought in the United States. His desperation to take people's health insurance away by dismantling an imperfect but fixable Affordable Care Act rather than building on it to make it better. Your complaint is my joy. ? I am hopeful my health insurance will actually come down in price after the crazy amount craptastic Obamacare raised it. No one should need to pay $25K per year out of pocket for ***** health insurance, but that is what Obamacare did for me and Hubby. If you paid out of pocket (instead of getting your benefits through your job) you would know how devastating Obamacare was. Three times the cost for worse insurance. Oh yay. His complete lack of any empathy. And that's not a "feelz" thing because it bleeds over into his actions, like violently clearing out peaceful protesters for a 3 minute photo op. Totally feelz. LOL Environmental deregulations, setting this country's environmental progress back. Hurray!! While no one wants smoggy air or their local river set ablaze, no one wants the puddle on their land to be considered under the purview of the EPA. There is a happy medium. The environmental laws had gone too far. I am glad he is pulling some back. The national treaties we've been pulling out of and a general turn inward in a world constantly getting more global despite the wildly underestimated but still minority populist movements that have sprung up recently. We are not the world's policeman. While I agree we should be in some areas to promote stability, we are not in the coup business (see Obama administration, Ukraine, for guidance on what not to do), Germany and Japan can afford to pay to have our military there, and Afghanistan is simply a way for the military complex to make money. Our global standing as a trustworthy Country. What does that even mean? ADHD when it comes to his cabinet members, who aren't afforded the ability to be the experts they're supposed to be because they're required to walk on eggshells to appease a boss who can't hear hard truths. That is more than unfair. Almost four years later, he still has cabinet members waiting for confirmation. The Democrats have done everything in their power to slow walk the Trump administration cabinet members. "Walk on eggshells?" Stop watching CNN. Constant and utter corruption from his own appointees and from himself. I wasn't here years ago but I'm sure DR posted tweets or comments by Trump at some point about how he wouldn't be on the golf course like Obama and that he'd probably never leave the White House because he'd be working too hard. Not quite what happened, is it? It will be interesting to see when his Presidency is done at the end of this year how much he cost the American taxpayers and how much the American taxpayers actually funded Trump's business. Not to mention other shady things like $17.2 million spent to land military planes at a small airport in Scotland, which of course was right near a golf resort Trump owns. This is not true. If there was "corruption by his own appointees and from himself" there would have been no-knock raises by the FBI on the White House door. President Trump had his undies examined for 2.5 years and they came up with nuthin'. Everything he's done with the Press in terms of his lack of transparency and other things like calling them the enemy of the people, which you see his supporters shouting at journalists consistently. Where is the wild cheering gif? The "msm" are driving narratives, "social justice" initiatives, and the DNC annex. There are only a handful of honest reporters left at any of the news stations. The biggest positive of the Trump administration has been to show the US and the world, how partisan and outright dishonest the US press is. An economy that is now in shambles after 3 years of riding the coattails of the previous Administration that rebuilt the economy from the last economic disaster, which is what Biden's Administration will have to start doing again in January. Wow. Just wow. Mr. Magic Wand led a great economy for Trump to ride his coattails? M'kay. And now Trump is responsible for a virus that people were concerned was a bio-weapon? Trump was presiding over the best economy the US has ever had. And he shut it down because of concerns about a virus from China. How long it stayed shut down is on the governors. Some states have been open since the end of April, while other states are still not fully open. If your state is not fully open, call your governor's office to complain. 115,000 Americans dead in just 4 months and counting due in part to a President who was utterly unprepared due to his own ego and narcissism and even now seems to be in denial. Let's be honest, this is what's sealed his fate as a one term President already. Again, wow. President Trump handled the Wuhan virus fairly well. He allowed the state governors to lead, which is what federalism is. He acted as a wartime president and got companies quickly onboard to make PPE supplies, labs to research the virus and make testing kits, etc. If you think it is easy to make this happen in under a month for a virus that appeared that recently, you need to get out and get a job in the corporate world. You might then appreciate the sheer speed in which all this happened. Should be have had 300M N95 masks in the vault? Should be have had 50K ventilators sitting in a warehouse? Maybe. Until you consider that NYS did have ventilators, but sold them due to obsolescence. The same would have happened to any federal stockpile. Would the bands have decomposed on the N95 masks? I do not know. Those we should have had more on. Did Congress allot the money for those purchases and it was not fulfilled? If so, you do have an argument. His handling of these protests in terms of both rhetoric and action. Rhetoric? Huh? He told the governors to ask for help if they needed it. Again, see federalism. (I hope you do not teach civics or history) Casting preemptive doubt on the democratic process foreshadowing a breaking of long tradition of the peaceful transfer of power from one President to another. Huh? Obama did this when his administration staged a soft-coup against the incoming Trump administration. Your "preemptive doubt" is you watching CNN.

If you’re rich it will be like late 1700s, early 1800s Bow Street Runners. If you are poor, it is gonna either be like the Mafia or the Mexican drug cartels. ?‍♀️

I saw, thank you. ? I bet they are all shocked the riots didn't stop the declass.

I wonder why I am seeing a 502 bad gateway error on that tweet?
