y’all completely ignore the most expensive riots/destruction in US history over the previous 6 months.



Normal people recognize that the Antifa and BLM riots make the case for significantly enhanced funding for the police. "Defund the police" is a message not well served by riots, destruction, violence, looting, and arson.

And we certainly noticed the effort to downplay how destructive these riots were.

Are you saying what happened in Portland, Kenosha, Minneapolis, Chicago, Louisville, Atlanta, and DC weren't riots?

If you are, you are 100% full of shite.

Oh there were definitely riots.

I'm saying that "riots every night for months" is hyperbole.

Semantics, but OK. Are none of those issues still relevant?

Not really...although eventually they ran out of things to destroy/loot/burn/vandalize and move on to the next city.

Almost none of them, no.

What, exactly, is your argument for the EC?

"Would you mind being a little more specific?"

If he won't, I will. I sell product to food distributors
across the southeast who then sell it to restaurants. Restaurants were closed or limited severely for no other reason than power hungry democrat politicians. As a result, my business has lost over a million so far on the year. We are doing what we can to hold on but if not for Florida, we would have already been out of business

Is that specific enough for you?

I have never worried about it... I actually believe I had it in very early March. Had all the symptoms but they went away after about ten days. I’ll wear a mask if I have too but other than that I wash my hands on the reg and go about my life...... I still say they ALL should just take a chance and open everything back up just to see what happens... this 25% of this and 50% of that is not doing anybody any good.......

This is a very emotional post. I can tell you've been holding on to this thought for months waiting for the right moment. The next 4 years is going to be tough for you.


Sure ok. Here you are, as well as 4 others, emotionally responding to me insulting your cult leader.

I've made the same type responses to Trump supporters. Tell me how someone who I've bashed many times, almost as much as I've complemented is my cult leader? So b/c I'm gonna vote for someone he's my cult leader? So Obama was my cult leader and now Trump is, simply b/c I voted for them?

The EC was not created to protect against tyranny of the majority. It was part of a compromise on many issues, not the least of which was giving slave-owners power over their slaves' voices. It made their votes count more without granting slaves suffrage or freedom.

It was a compromise made in different times under different circumstances. Funny that you are determined to preserve such a system by twisting old wisdom to suit your argument, yet you seemingly see no value in the greater wisdom of the founders that gave us the power to mold our government with the times.


More incoherent rambling

Real leader Herman Cain died and kept on tweeting. You really have to admire that kind of commitment.
