Trump pointed out the reality of Joe Biden's legislative history, White. Go back and listen to the speech Biden gave on the Senate floor while pushing the Clinton Crime Bill. You'd think you were listening to the Grand Dragon of the local KKK and not someone who claims to have always been there for black people. Trump DID pick up some of the black vote. The only real question is why Joe Biden picked up ANY of it!
I'm not a "black people". I don't care. If this is about Republicans really supporting black people (which they don't) instead of protecting me from criminal of every color or stripe, they have different priorities than me. I guess I take a dimmer view of violent criminals than Republicans and don't want to end up shooting one, myself, eh, violent criminals, that is.
My father used to tell me that I should judge people by what they DO...not by what they SAY, White! You claim that the GOP doesn't support black people yet under Trump, blacks had historically low unemployment numbers....far better numbers than they've had under Biden or even under Obama.
And if being protected from violent criminals is a big thing for you...then why, pray tell, would you EVER support Democrats?
I am not beset with criminals, tolerated in Tennessee, don't live in one of the beehive cities, and pretty well take care of myself and my family wherever I am. I just got back from the swimming pool place for a water check and am still sitting here at my desk in my should holster, locked and loaded like all CCW people should be when out and about. Voting Republican, didn't spare the country from the attack on our capital, as that wasn't Antifa or BLM scaling the walls, bashing in windows and beating cops on the ground with MAGA flagpoles.
No that was Antifa and BLM doing that in cities all over the nation for months on end, White! Funny how that doesn't seem to bother you much but a violent protest that didn't last 24 hours does!
And who the hell wears a shoulder holster anymore?
Does not bother me much as a national political issue. It would bother me if it happened in a city in Tennessee and neither the city, nor the state would shut it down. It just never happened. Oh sure, there were some started, but they didn't get off the ground, even in Memphis or Nashville, as mayor and governor were not about to tolerate violence, nor cede any territory. It didn't require federal help, as Bill Lee, basically said "Oh, hell no, not here" like he is paid to. The mayors and governors of the affected states, just weren't worth a crap.
I do. If you have ever been in an armor command position and worn one for days on end, it gets real natural, never hangs getting in or out of tanks, hands always free (as opposed to carrying an M16, weapon always secured and kept up with, very comfortable, even enough to sleep in it comfortably. I hated the thing hanging on my hip, just as a balance issue. I have tried in the belt, clipped to the belt, but do not like it pushing into my upholstered seats or hanging on seatbelts. I never tried belly carry as I don't favor shooting my balls off if I ever have to pull it.
Riots on a national basis that went on for months and caused billions of dollars in damage don't "bother" you, White? You're fortunate to live in a conservative State where "Wokeism" hasn't destroyed the rule of law. Others are not.
Why didn't those local officials and state officials deal with it and stop it. Why were not the streets totally cleared an hour and a half before sunset. I don't believe in an American right to protest under cover of darkness, to do what you please without being identified and stopped. That isn't wokeism. It is just my disdain for local politicians and officials in other parts of the country and a lack of respect for the voters that put and keep them in office in those areas. But, if that is how they wish to live, it is their fault and their responsibility, not mine to support a national political answer, as long as it is controlled in my state and community. I don't have to and do not choose to live in places like that and made conscious decisions not to move to and live in places like that. I was reasonably good at the things I did. I had opportunities (on occasion) to make more, if I moved to places like that, but chose not to. I made good choices, and it worked to my advantage. They did not.
Gee, White...why DIDN'T those local officials deal with it and stop it! It's because they're liberal Democrats and their policies supported those riots. That's what I'm referring to when I write about "wokeism"! Those riots were fomented by calls to defund the Police. By Democrats putting people back on the street when they were arrested for rioting. Cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco have become almost uninhabitable BECAUSE of progressive policy.
Absolutely true. Still they are of local responsibility and those local voters could change it if they didn't want to live that way, and it would be much more in-line with what the framers had in mind, as they were very worried about a national government coming in and taking over state's rights and local rule. Knowing that to be the case, I feel no compunction to support the federal national government coming in to enforce stricter control.
Awww... are we still hurting from the drubbing you guys received in Nov 2020? ....Awww. Must have really left a mark. Here ya go...
You might want to save that, Magnus. Something tells me you'll need it in about about six months? You think the 2020 was bad for the GOP? You're about to see what happens when an electorate sends a message to the party in power.
The hell it is. No one supported any rioting other than the rioters themselves who've done a lot of time since and paid a lot of fines. Otherwise I applaud much of what you've said here.
Do you honestly believe you can win the Midterms? Biden won but to be fair you guys didn’t take full control of both Houses of Congress.
