There never has been more of a stark contrast in an election. You have law and order and pro America versus lawlessness and tearing down anything that resembles history up to the point of destroying the flag and national anthem.

Trump has removed multiple IGs and now a prosecutor he doesn't like but you say he is law and order and anyone who believes that he is for law and order while he thumbs his nose at it is naive, or blinded by their trump crush.

I'm still just kind of amazed at how many are making a deal about Trump not packing the rally and the group getting those tickets. By everyone making a big deal about this, they are playing to his narrative and basically daring his supporters to actually completely pack his next one. I figured the people who hate him will make several big mistakes and re-elect him and by golly it's happening.



Is common sense this far gone?

Exactly. If anything this is just going to make his campaign staff start working harder and fire up his base because now they believe his numbers are down. This all is probably going to reinvigorate Trump to start campaigning even harder.

Plain as day. We have a heavy current of socialist in this country who want to re-write our constitution according to what they think is acceptable and unacceptable. They want to abolish a lot of the core values that have enabled us to grow into the greatest nation on earth. Instead of embracing it, they would rather burn it all down. We arent perfect and have had our growing pains along the way. But people from all over the world are dyeing to get in here(USA). Why? Because of opportunity,law and order, the best healthcare and living conditions in the world just to name a few.
Be proud to be American, dont listen to the Democrats and MSM. Nothing wrong with having pride in who we are.
 
Lol. The Dems ought to get sleepy Joe to hold a rally in eastern NC for Downeast,Shaggy,Eyewall.

Instead, they have to try and sabotage Trumps. Why? Because they cant be open and beat their chest with their socialist agenda. Know it will be rejected by a majority of Americans.

But it was first come first serve. This k pop fans that signed up didn't show and keep anyone from getting in.

Yea I see too many people arguing that the teens stole all the tickets, so thats why there was empty seats. Anybody who ordered a ticket could have gotten in on a first come first serve basis, so it didn't matter that all those tickets were reserved. I will say though there was probably plenty of people who saw that 1,000,000 had already reserved and didn't want to fiddle with waiting in line that long. So they just ended up not showing up at all.
 
Great-grandson of 'Aunt Jemima' is outraged over decision to 'erase' family legacy
Quaker Oats announced an immediate rebranding of the Aunt Jemima line this week

Quaker Oats announced Wednesday the immediate rebranding of its Aunt Jemima breakfast line, claiming the company name and logo perpetuate "racial stereotypes." The move came in response to a renewed national discussion about the far-reaching impacts of racism.

"Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype," the company said.
Now, the great-grandson of "Aunt Jemima" is speaking out, criticizing the move.
Larnell Evans Sr. told Patch that the attempt by Quaker Oats to rewrite history is a great "injustice."
"This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history, sir," Evans said. "The racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side — white people."
"This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother's history. A black female," he added. "It hurts."
According to Patch, Evans' great-grandmother — the late Anna Short Harrington — succeeded Nancy Green, a former enslaved woman, as the face of the Aunt Jemima brand in the early 1920s.



From Patch:
Harrington was born on a South Carolina plantation where her family worked as sharecroppers. In 1927, a white family from New York "bought" Harrington to be their maid. She made a living as cook at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house in Syracuse and worked for wealthy white people, including Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. She was discovered by a Quaker Oats representative while serving up her pancakes, a favorite of local frat boys, at the New York State Fair in 1935.

Quaker Oats used Harrington's likeness on products and advertising, and it sent her around the country to serve flapjacks dressed as "Aunt Jemima." The gig made her a national celebrity.

"She worked for that Quaker Oats for 20 years. She traveled all the way around the United States and Canada making pancakes as Aunt Jemima for them," Evans explained.
"This woman served all those people, and it was after slavery. She worked as Aunt Jemima. That was her job," he continued. "How do you think I feel as a black man sitting here telling you about my family history they're trying to erase?"

His base is and will always be there. That's not gonna change no matter what. Its those people who held their nose to last time that matter this go around. If they're willing to hold their nose again trump wins. If they dont and Biden wins then it's a great day in America in November.
 
C'mon guys. The Dems picked Biden over Sanders because he wasn't a Socialist..

Why did Mayor Pete and Klochobar drop out so fast? Why did the Dems freak out after Bernie was winning everything before SC?

I'll tell you. Because the moderate wing of the Democratic Party is almost as scared of the left wing as you are.

Which is why if you see Biden migrate to the AOC side, those moderate Dems swing over to trump.

There’s really no way around it for Joey B. He has no choice but to embrace the radical side of his party. They are all intertwined at this point.
 
The funny thing is I rarely hear about AOC from left leaning sources. The last time I heard something of substance is when she endorsed Bernie earlier this year. That obviously didn't have enough influence to sway the vote.

AOC is mentioned a lot more in the right leaning sources though....

My point is---if you are trying to say the left/radical part of the party is going to 'sway' Biden as a puppet, then rock on. But you might want to rethink using AOC as the left wing villain of choice. Might I suggest Warren instead? She is also female, and still has some years left in the Senate.

Bolton, in interview, says Democrats 'almost as bad and somewhat equivalent to Trump'

Former national security adviser John Bolton warned in an interview airing Sunday night that President Trump's White House poses a "danger for the republic" -- but cautioned that congressional Democrats were "almost as bad" in their efforts to unseat him from office, which Bolton called a...

Joey has a long senatorial history of being very independent of his own party’s left wing. He always strived to work with the GOP. He was a true moderate. I believe that that’s still in his heart. Don’t give up on old Joey boy. Now that he’s got the nomination, he’s free to drift back to the right. He could still get my vote if he does that instead of cowtowing to the radicals, especially as regards law and order.

I know what’s in his heart and that why I was initially not upset he got the nomination. It has become increasingly apparent that he is just a temporary puppet or placeholder. The Joe Biden of 2008/2012 is a man I would not have minded if he became president. That man is sadly gone, and is now just a walking corpse to get elected off name recognition. He will do as he is told from now on.

Absolutely. And it may be that he is moderate. However, I do not trust that he is the captain of his own ship at this point.
 

Uh oh. I hate to jump to conclusions but after the Jussie Smollett fiasco it’s hard not to. Something stinks. This will be an interesting story to follow regardless.
 
I’m worried about joe’s mind when answering questions this fall. Like how is he gonna do it? They could so easily cause his mind to wonder from Civil war era, slavery, North Korea, Africa aids and poss bojangles
