I've said this for a long time. Michael Brown had arms, he tried to use them to kill an officer. It was going to end one way or the other. The way it ended was the best possible outcome of the worst possible choices.

I think the anger can be directed at the mob that beat this guy savagely, the people who stood around and watched it happen, and the fact that he's disposable to the 'media' that refuses to air this sort of thing when telling a story. He's like the retired police officer, the elderly female shop owner beaten, the police officers shot/killed/run over/injured/dragged by the crowds, and at this point, like George Floyd. Let's be honest, even if he was "attacking" people with a sword (v. defending his property from looters), all they had to do was try and follow Wisdom From Joe: they could have tried to hit him in the leg.

I was saying they are examples of unified speech, based on the heretofore acknowledgement of kneeling as such (ergo). I wear jerseys on occasion, usually with duct tape and a handwritten name of the current player assigned the number. I don't wear them beyond wacthing the Bills play on TV in my basement or to a game (and often not to a game) as I feel the jersey make me look skinny. I also apparently have some odd tactile thing going on, as I find them uncomfortable generally and also find myself really enjoying the feel of the cool flat texture of the quartz countertops we installed in our kitchen a couple years back. And freshly cut boxwoods. I used to play Powerball when the jackpot hit a hundo-mill+. One time, I had two numbers and truly thought "Wow! That was close!". That was in spite of being around 50, trying to take the sensible, slow and steady approach to building wealth over time.

As is an adult wearing a football players jersey (You're so cool man!), playing the Powerball (I wants me money!) and taking a ferry to Nantucket. However, the Nantucket rule only applies to trips on a high speed ferry. Obviously participants are saying "I don't have time for this".

i believe her.

I don’t like the tone of the tweets, never have and with luck, won’t like them moving forward over the next 4 years. Still, I understand the tactical approach of bypassing the media reporting partial stories, copied and pasted stories and recaps because oddly, they feel we need some dipwad from journalism Journalism U to take words spoken in English changed to other words in the same language. Historically speaking, the impact of his policy agenda was incredible. If the programs implemented and job creation numbers benefitted me as a member of a particular community the ways his clearly did, he could say he’s the best tap dancer since Gregory Hines, who cares?

Assuming he wins the election, Joe Biden’s first 100 days will commence after he has spent 17,463 days as a member of an exclusive club of the 50 most powerful people in our country. For 2,023 of those days, he was the second most powerful man in the world. 17,000+ days of lying, lining his pockets, plagiarizing, bullying, pandering, assaulting women, selling the country out, pandering to minority communities while lobbing racist comments about them....and he’s the hope of the New Democrat party. All great motivational speeches start with a befuddled old man on the loudspeaker stating emphatically “Give me 47 years and 100 days and watch what I can accomplish!”.

“Dude...someone just threw a brick through the windows!!! CALL THE.....ah, $#@&”

Seth Rogan plays Peter in Family Guy, right?

I enjoy your posts, you're a smart cookie. Please accept my apologies in advance for what I'm about to say, I know where your heart lies and perhaps someday the light switch will flip and I'll realize how wrong I was. That day is not today. I feel the way about Sanders the way some folks feel about DT: Bernie Sanders is a bad human being, he's a poser of the worst sort and offers nothing of value to me as a citizen. If he wanted to call out the looters, he could have very quickly and efficiently. If he wanted to motivate his supporters to a peaceful adjudication of the problems in this country, he would have had his platform teed up for this type of event. While unprecedented in scope, it's certainly not unprecedented in style. He's a wealthy guy pretending he's not, he's utilizes the system set in to enrich people to in the political system to enrich himself, he's a carbon glutten who pollutes the environment on a massive scale...and he preaches class warfare and is about as divisive as anyone else. If he wasn't 95 with his crazy hair and Brooklyn accent, I doubt he would have much traction at all. The fact hat he's a cartoon character gave him substantial lift with young people. I realize he hits some hot button issues for you, and I respect your thought process as a citizen. I don't agree with most of it, but hey, that's life. I look forward to the day when he hangs it up and goes to hang out by the lake, sitting by the piles of money he's earned fighting the good fight of the perpetual bureaucrat.

You're an emotional thinker, and it clouds your ability to reason. That's why I pointed out that your comments about a 160 year relationship between the Dems and the Klan could be considered reasonable, yet your failure to recognize your own hypocrisy of pointing out Trump's father's actions (real or imagine) from one hundred years ago as if that matters. I disagree, honestly.

For 5 minutes intellectual honesty would be appreciated. I don’t know why I’d expect it, but carry on.

What does the activity, real or imagined, of Donald Trump’s father in 1927 have anything to do with Donal Trump one hundred years later in 2020? Nothing.

The original post dealt with an allegation from 1927. Back then, Joe Biden and his wife were just a couple crazy kids hanging out at a local speakeasy sipping rye and talking about the jimmy jack future they would have together.

Officer’s lives are irrelevant to DeBlaiso, it’s an inconvenience to him when he has to deal with an assault or worse. His daughter is arrested for assaulting law enforcement in a riot, and he feels like that represents her peaceful nature because he knows her heart. I’d think it makes sense for the NYPD and state police to withdraw from his protection detail, leave his home and allow the DeBlasios to reflect on the beauty of her soul as a family. Make a public statement of the withdrawal, include the address and free them from the viscous jackbooted authority figures that surround them. Let’s give it all back to the people. We can call it a Foot Locker to make it more palatable. Fortunately for this #######, there are much better people than I committed to protecting him.

Exactly, and thank you for making my point, though I’m not sure why the author if the piece needed to make it racial. Could be a bigot I suppose, could be implying all white people are bad, could be just outraged that some numbnut burned his/her business down, or assaulted his/her mother with a 2x4 in the name of anarchy.

45 minutes on NBC today and I have to say, they boldly reported that some of the demonstrators have turned violent, and they were stunned that downtown Manhattan near their precious One Rock was looted. I’d have bet no one was injured, civilian or law enforcement, no shots fired, no officers run down with an SUV, and certainly no victimization of any peaceful protestor by these anarchists. It’s surreal watching this. Some lives just don’t matter to them. In that regard, they are no different than the enablers of violence on the other side.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-police-training-shoot-em-in-the-leg Joe says “shoot ‘em in the gams” when they are unarmed...with a knife. ”Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at ‘em with a knife or something, shoot ‘em in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said in an address to black community leaders in Wilmington, Del.

Make the cities....schools?? You delightfully crazy b#stard you’re on to something!

The solution is simple. The 95% of the decent folks you mention have to partner with the police to put down the anarchists. Call em out, point em out, and if necessary, punch them out. Unfortunately, most people are not wired that way, and the anarchists know that. They come to neighborhoods, seek out weak targets, destroy the fabric of life that the 95% hold dear...and do it because they can. It’s tragic, but it is what it is.

Just saw your edit. If you worship at the altar of the Drudge Report, all well and good. I do not. Seems to me I'm no better off than going to the local library, spreading newspapers and magazines on a desk, grabbing headlines from various sources and trying to divine a collective truth from it. Or, maybe I can look at a mash-up of twitter feeds from the Kardashian sister and use that as a reference source. If you think he's a wimp, fine. I think you're wrong, and also that he is an American treasure.

That's awesome. You didn't inquire, but I think they are all as tough as everyone else.

I'll let your fib pass on this go round--we're all stressed out and maybe you...comingled....my post about toughness with someone elses. It happens when emotions run hot. I did not say what you said I did, but I have referred t him as a 'national treasure' on occasion. I understand the difference between toughness and job performance. It's silly to argue something as subjective as 'toughness', but he's displayed remarkable toughness in spite of attacks on virtually every allegation and act of viciousness thrown his way. bigothomophobexenophoberacisttaxcheattreasonouspuppetofputinsexualabusertreasontreasontreason...and there he stands. He racked the damn FBI and CIA! Holy crap...now that you mention it, he actually might be the toughest president ever. When you get a chance, let me know who wrote that so I can consider a thumbs up! Jesus this man is dumb as a stump.
