Let me clarify. My initial response to polite people is polite reply, and as he approached her he was polite. My general response to being approached on a street by a guy with a camera would almost always, exclusively be "No thank you". Sign a petition? "No thank you!". Ta;k about God? "No thank you!". I can't imagine I'd still be speaking as he suggested I kneel, at the minimum I would be three steps ahead trying to keep an eye on him in case things escalated. Make no mistake, this strikes me as a very weird encounter and I'm not really down with that. Oh, on the central park lady who lost her ^%$# when the guy asked her to leash her dog. Somewhere back I posted that while I thought she was crazy, the guy was a weirdo as well. He confronts a lady about her dog being off leash (like he's the dog warden), then when she gets upset, he trie to lure her dog over to him with a treat. I'm willing to bet any sensible woman in America would find her spidey senses tingling when a strange male of any color engages you and tries to get your dog over to him in a park.

You would do something racist that required an apology? Like what?

This young lady seems to have been born with virtually no survival instinct, and a stunning lack of self-esteem. I would politely decline, wish him well and be about my day.

Holy cow C3, this is a check-mate point. The President should open the doors and the DC mayor was spot on and not at all playing her supporters for chumps. Don't sleep on the convertible idea either. Some presidents respected JFK and you may not know it, but he loved driving around with his top down.

Well, I wasn't wrong on 2018 either. It's a pretty common happenstance in the world of politics, sonny boy. I'll acknowledge the blue wave when it happens. I am 100% convinced that there are enough voters who were outraged by Trump's election who will cast a vote for their own version of a serial sexual abuser, plagarizer, shake down artist, bully, racist and fondler and celebrate the accomplishment. It'll be a disappointment, but I'll laugh my ass off at the stunning display of hypocrisy. Hell, I'm laughing now watching the tired old man campaign.

And the people's President should ride in a convertible. What a &^%$ing moron.

It is, or it isn't. You've been wrong before, pretty consistently. Whatever. Like everyone else, if Trump walking to the church is the hot button issue that really riles 'em, they should vote their conscience. Maybe they can do it from the 11 x12 home office where they worship, mask on, while watching services online because the government tells them they are cowardly, dumb , selfish and ignorant if they attempt to celebrate together. Hell, if they have two monitors maybe they can watch their local politician marching arm and arm with other citizens, those who apparently are immune to the super bug, not a mask in sight. Or, maybe they can use the second monitor to track the movement of the wandering hoard of looters and vandals, maybe they can see their church if the vandals get to the right neighborhood. There really are a lot of options when the government locks you down. It's liberating.

What did Mattis say about the weaponization of the intelligence agency under BO, the corruption in the FBI, and Obama’s expulsion of Russians in an effort to create an international incident? What about the Mueller tribunal, what did he say about that? IMO, the attempt to unseat a President and hijack an election is about as dangerous and un-American as you can get.

Earlier today I was typing Duct Tape and a combination of technology and sloppy typing left it at Duck Rape. I wasn’t even mad, I love ducks.

I really love the English language, and try to pay close attention to what is said and who says it. Mark Levine is THE Chair of the NYC Health Committe in the epicenter of the Covid crisis in this country. He's participated in the dialogue, has access to people and information most of us do not, and its fair to consider him an expert. Wtf is this "If" there is a spike? There are tens of thousands of people from all walks of life interacting for hours upon hours on end. Based on the data that was provided to us about the ways the virus spread, the impact of social distancing, the infection and mortality rate and the like ....there should be a massive spike in cases, hospitalization and deaths from these protests. Or, was what it all a lie the first time? $#!! Off Mark.

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, $#@&”

"Holy crap this changes everything!" . -Said no one here

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.
