Only if he rode the nuke over there
The vast majority of working Americans both need and deserve another Stimulus check. That Trump and his minions in Congress are slow to act on this need is borderline criminal. There are so many things Trump should be impeached for during his tenure as Prez.. the Russian ---- is at the bottom of my list.

Lol and we're supposedly to believe Biden is the only one that's mentally impaired? ?

Lol no, considering that Trump called the secret service the SS, highly doubt he knows but whatever helps you sleep at night

Are Trump supporters only capable of deflection and strawmen arguments nowadays? You must be getting extremely desperate.

Ok dodo bird, whatever you say.
He shut down the state earlier than some of his neighboring counterparts and has kept us w/ restrictions longer, he's also enforcing the statewide mandates, and his public messages have been fine. Doesn't matter what party he's affiliated with, if he was a republican you'd be heaping praise on him, but of course you're a total hypocrite and going to cherry-pick any minor thing he's done wrong to reinforce your own skewed personal views.

A lot will depend on what he does with the upcoming school year. People are patiently waiting for his decision. I am a Republican and I think he has handled the virus pretty well so far.

Cooper is probably going to win by a wide margin. Lots of people (including myself) who are on the other side of the aisle and think he's done a great job w/ covid-19 will vote for him instead of the republican nominee. Just because someone is a democrat doesn't mean literally everything they see and do is bad (& vis versa for Republicans), Cooper is a good example of this.

The underlying theme is here somewhat obvious. Climate also plays a large role (warmer weather = more cases (contrary to what most wanted us to believe a few months ago) but piss poor policies in Republican states explains a lot of this. Blue states will likely catch back up soon enough as lockdown fatigue takes hold

The hypocrisy is strong
I'm sure there's something in the middle between publically ignoring the situation and launching nuclear missiles.
I am not a free for all Trump basher like a lot of people, but he has missed many opportunities throughout his presidency to act presidential. But he hasn't missed many opportunities to insult those he disagrees with and put forward a lot of double talk, spin, and outright rambling.
I know that much of that is his style. I get it. And I also like some of his stances, policies, and the fact that he does project the fact that he has a backbone. But I wish he would have handled many of these contentious situations in a more dignified way. I think he could have earned a broader respect, or at the very least, eliminated much of the criticism around his clownish behavior, if he would have not fouled a lot of these pitches off.

If Trump somehow pulls a miracle like in 2016. I’m sure Dems will blame Russia again.

Minimum wage has remained stagnated while inflation drove up the prices of everything.
Taking into account tuition, room, board, and fees across 2,312 public and private colleges and universities in the U.S., the average price of an undergraduate degree increased $63,973, or roughly 161%, since 1987.
The four-year price of University of Central Florida, including tuition, fees and housing, has seen a 87% increase between 1987 and 2016, for a total difference of $28,772. A student making a part-time, minimum-wage salary could pay for 106.5% of University of Central Florida's cost in 1987, while an equivalent job would cover 68.2% in 2016. If this part-time salary is dedicated entirely towards school, in 2016 a student would need to find a way to pay the additional $19,648 that the part-time salary doesn't cover. With this degree now in hand, the average salary for an early-career, college-educated worker in the U.S. saw a 2.3% increase between 1987 and 2016, from $49,406 to $50,556.
Assuming these early-career salaries grow at an average of 3% annually, graduates of University of Central Florida in 2016 will need approximately 4 years and 9 months more time to pay off their student loans.
This is just a small indicator of how much things have increased in cost just since 1987. This research only goes up to 2016, so inflation and tuition have increased in those four years, but the minimum wage has not.

But when you raise minimum wage to $15. Your dollar general and dollar trees and Ollie’s and roses bargain stores would probably be forced to shut down because they can’t afford that wage. Or no one would work no more the 10hrs a week. I mean some companies can afford $15 other businesses and companies can not. And if Democrats raise there taxes and minimum wage look for mass job loss.

Armed St. Louis protesters broke iron gate, threatened couple before they drew their own guns, attorney says | Fox News
'We were told that we would be killed, our home burned and our dog killed,' homeowner saidwww.foxnews.com
Here’s the real story. These home owners had every right to draw guns. I would have done the same. Of course the fake news will twist it to make this couple look bad.

They had the right to have them displayed, but not point them at anyone. Once that happened it became a threat whether they were on their own property or not. Add to the fact that that stupid c*** had her booger hook on the bang lever and it looks a lot worse. Her muzzle discipline was complete shite. She muzzled the back of her husbands head for Gods sake!!
Point is, you can’t point a firearm at anyone without there being repercussions. You can hold it at the low ready position, but you can’t point it at anyone. That is an overt threat.

I think they will just burn the country down because “voting” doesn’t work.

I’d figure away around this would be to raise it higher for those say out of high school but keep in the same for those in high school. A lot of these places employee high schoolers anyways and their parents pay for everything so theirs no need in them making $15 an hour.

I understand that but they feared for there life. If you charge these two people for pointing a gun at people. Then all those protesters that had guns should be charged as well. Because apparently they threaten these two people life

Yes that would be one solution. Another solution is tax breaks for companies able and willing to pay a higher wage. Like the higher the wage the less your tax burden is.

Then like I think someone had mentioned yesterday those companies would have to prove they were doing it by giving over records and idk how willing they would be but it is an option.
You do realize that bowing is a sign of respect in Asian countries, don’t you? I bow when I go on the mat in my dojo, bow to my professor, and bow to my opponent. It doesn’t show subservience, it shows respect. This is so moronic to have that point of view. Get out of your state. Travel the world. Get some culture. See how other countries and people live for Gods sake. There is a whole other world outside of Deep South BFE.
At no time was their life in danger. I say this as a HUGE 2A advocate. No one pointed a gun at them. I’ve reviewed the video. She screwed up, plain and simple. Hell, her husband had the common sense to keep his weapon in the low ready position. She looked like a gang banger in South Central ready to pop a cap.

"Peaceful" protests.
The left loves to romanticize these BLM protests and the right sensationalizes their misdoings.

Do you know that for a fact? If so, present me with peer reviewed evidence. I can give you peer reviewed evidence of my statements. I have every citation. Do you want it in MLA or APA format?

Lol there we go again assuming the video shows the whole story. Yes her poor management of that gun was highly embarrassing. But unless you was there you don’t know if they legitimately feared for there lives. I would suggest her to learn proper gun handling skills though

There is neither videographic nor photographic evidence of anyone pointing weapons at them, therefore you only have their side. Their side which shows them actually pointing weapons at unarmed people. Unless you can show me proof by video or photo, your “evidence” is merely here say.
Uh yeah. That video would stand up in a court of law as evidence and not here say.
Would you like links to the appropriate laws and statutes that govern Saint Louis County and the State of Missouri? I can give you the exact laws of evidence along with the weapons laws she broke.
The mob is the weapon, tramadoc. When they have the superior numbers and age against you, then they don't need weapons. You do.

But I highly doubt anyone will be serving jail time. For pointing a gun out of fear I could be wrong I suppose. But no one was hurt or killed. Not sure any significant harm was done.

They had their weapons (man and woman). They were well within their rights to have their weapons drawn and on display. HER rights ended when she pointed that nickel plated Walther PPK at the crowd.
Hey, I’m a 2A advocate. I think EVERYONE should have firearms unless prohibited by law. If a felon has their Constitutional rights restored, let them get weapons too. Red Flag laws suck. They’re a backdoor to weapons confiscation without due process and that’s a 4th Amendment right.

Take Barbara out of the equation. She needs to be inside. I see nothing wrong with what the gentlemen did from the video I saw although he more than likely needs a bit more training with what he is holding. Why this video is garnering this much attention is beyond me. Its very much an incomplete story in my opinion

The moron is strong within them. I’m saying this as a liberal. I think everyone on here knows I’m more of a centrist, but I am more liberal than the majority on here.
