Let’s tear down this statue because it’s racist... oops..

”In Madison, Wisconsin, rioters threw a statue of Hans Christian Heg (an anti-slavery activist and abolitionist who actively fought slave catchers and died from battle wounds fighting for the Union in the Civil War), into a nearby lake.”

These people are the epitome of the word “idiot”
 
But if it got back to the point of shutting the economy down again wouldn’t it make more sense to ask our older generations to just stay home?
They are already doing that. Don't think the trade would work. That said, we can not shutter the economy again. We however may not have a choice,.If this thing blows back up people will do it on their own. It may not.We will see ,but no longer our choice I fear.
 
I’ve read some really good things about some of the judges he has appointed. Many of them seem to be judges who focus on interpreting and applying the law as intended from what I’ve read. I’m sure there are some who would classify as “conservative” judges who let their views sway things but overall they seem to be solid.
But you guys were mad when SCOTUSdid just that recently

Except Barr.
 
Great article about the elephant in the room that NONE of our politicians have a plan to address.

Yes, we have reached over $26 trillion in debt and members are demanding more stimulus money. According to data released yesterday by the Treasury Department, we hit $26,003,751,512,344.91. That is the definition of ballooning and runaway debt but no one seems to be talking about it. We are now a credit card country that believes we can put the entire economy on layaway.

Just to keep track, we hit $24 trillion for the first time just last April 7, 2020. We then hit $25 trillion for the first time on May 5. Get the picture?
Once again, this all seem weirdly immaterial to the news or newsmaker, Democrat or Republicans. We are piling on debt that will smother the rising generation, a lost generation facing massive debt and a destroyed global economy.
Consider that in 2009, debt was 52.3 % of our GDP. By December 2019, it reached 79.2%. We are now approaching our debt-to-GDP ratio from post–World War II high of 106.1%.
Each new spending bill has a catchy title and a massive unpaid bill. There was the $2.0 trillion CARES legislation. Then there was the massive $3.0 trillion HEROES Act. There are new trillion dollar stimuluses as well as demands for approval of programs like a $14 trillion reparations bill.

Politicians love crisis because it allows spending with little scrutiny. They can spend trillions and kick the debt can down the road for someone else to address. A similar thing happened in states like Illinois with public pensions. Politicians signed off on larger and larger pensions with teacher unions and other public employees while enjoying ample political endorsements and support. Then the debt ballooned and left the states near bankruptcy. Yet, voters did not blame these leaders. Indeed, COVID-19 hit and the next round of spending will include bailouts of cities and states.

Recently we discussed how New York de Blasio demanded over $7 trillion and expressed frustration that it had not arrived because Washington is “the only place that prints money.” We could not possibly have any problems by just printing trillions to cover these costs, right? De Blasio is putting the hype back into hyperinflation.

So, we are left with calls for trillions in more spending and politicians declaring “print, baby, print.” You only have to look from Greece to Zimbabwe to Venezuela to see how this story ends.

What actually happens if we as a country never resolve our National debt? Obviously we know if Biden wins more and more spending will occur socialism isn’t cheap!

It will never be resolved. It will only grow. I just wish they would give all Americans 1 million dollars and call it a day. Think about the taxes and spending that would create. I would be happy.
 
New PPP (D) poll out of NC for governors race Cooper +9. Past 3 PPP polls for Governor:

Cooper+14
Cooper+11
Cooper+9

Cant wait to see another poll in two weeks after this mask mandate today....
You all are for a major shock when Biden gets to the White House. Lockdowns and mask mandates nationwide then. BTW, Cooper gets back in too.

Your in for a shock when Biden wins locks everything up. And The new civil war begins to fight and defend there rights. And yes I really believe if Democrats try to change the right to bare arms or try’s to tear apart churches and religion a civil war will break out.

If lockdowns are the only way to stop this virus then so be it. I do agree about the guns and churches though.

I don’t think under normal circumstances there will be a civil war. But if guns and churches are touched I think that’s the only thing that would trigger a civil war.

Guns will be touched when Biden wins. Not in a direct way because of the 2nd Amendment but the result will be the same. One way is by outlawing or taxing ammo.
 
If masks are mandated in SC of course I’d wear one. Even though I can’t breath in the darn thing. But I’m not gonna make a big deal over it. It’s not worth $25 kinda like a seatbelt. I got pulled over once for a seatbelt got a ticket. I asked officer which part do I scratch to see what I won. Unfortunately the officer didn’t have a since of humor at all and just said drive safe and got back in his car

That’s why I’ve bought the gun I want before the election. I expect a ammo tax and gun tax. So better stock up now and be prepared

I'm not sure the 2nd survives in it's present form either. You can be sure if the Democrats gain complete control they will pass bills forcing the Supreme Court to finally settle things. If they were to rule the 2nd only applies to militias then the guns are gone. I'm not sure the 2 Judges Trump put there would rule for gun owners.
