LOL the only thing you will lose is your freedom, so in the end you will tote a ass whoopin, maybe do jail time, ironically maybe catch a felony and lose your right to vote, possibly get sued, and all to infringe on the Constitution rights of someone else......

History is history and it will never go away I don’t care if you remove statues or names on building and roads. I think it’s a waste of time. We need to focus on the present and stop bringing up the past.

I think all of this stuff is just stupid. I am not a minority, and I will never know the struggle that some in the minority community have faced or do face. But those things - those struggles - are real. The stuff about the Confederate flag and statues and branding is not real. It's a manufactured problem. Statues aren't racist. Statues don't make people racist. Statues don't sit where they sit because of some racist purpose. They simply memorialize a time or event in history. Good or bad, history is history, and there's not a thing wrong with being reminded of it.

People need to quit letting academics and others with an agenda tell them how they should feel about things and get back to using some common sense and having some perspective. Everything that you don't like or agree with is not an offense. It's time we start recognizing this and focusing our energy and efforts around working through real, actual issues and problems, together.

YES! These things didn't bother people until somebody told them it bothered them. America unfortunately is raising another generation of candy asses similar to the hippies of the 60's. I find it ironic that so many black people are still struggling. I thought Democrats would have solved all their issues by now with 50+ years of their faithful support. That's a head scratcher.....

I do think the police as an institution is being unfairly attacked and that this whole defund the police is insane (Dems and MSM suck on this so badly), but isn't this case apples-oranges since he did fire a gun at officers? Is there any case where a black subject first fires at cops and is then killed that is being protested?

Gun,taser, knife, fist, fake gun, etc... all are weapons if used against a cop.

I'm so old I remember when the Dems made an excuse for Trump winning the last election.

Not really when you consider that no one normally watches the news on the weekend compared to the regular work week

The rally had more viewers than all of the Democratic debates, which are held on weekdays. He got more viewers on fathers day weekend in the middle of the summer lol

I’m curious about voter suppression. Usually the cries of voter suppression come from larger cities ran by democrats, are they suppressing their own votes?

Brian Kemp intentionally sent broke machines to counties with Dems, didn't you hear?!?! Had nothing to do with people just being incompetent at using them.

Oh yeah lol. Then it came out that each county runs their own elections and it got pretty quiet on that front. Makes sense!

Do the debates air on multiple channels at a time? I honestly can’t remember. That’s probably a decent point though

There's also literally nothing else to watch on TV, basically no sports to suck up viewers and most everyone is stuck in their house. Higher viewership doesn't mean more enthusiasm.

I don’t think anyone is questioning whether Trump voters are more enthusiastic than Biden voters. That’s a given. It’s a matter of if those unenthusiastic potential Biden voters show up.

Not surprising given this was the first rally of the season, it got humongous press coverage, and Fox News was the only one carrying the speech itself as Communist News Network and MSNBCommunism weren’t. Also, many of the people watching it were likely not Trump fans. Many watching were hoping to see him look bad or were hoping for violence or some other nonsense in the area. Don’t equate viewers as Trump fans for all of these reasons. Not at all the same as attending the rally. I watched the speech but wouldn’t ever consider attending even if in my hometown since I’m not at all a Trump fan. I watched for entertainment to temporarily take my mind off COVID, bedbugs, and other crap. Actually, it satisfies me entertainmentwise like pro wrestling does because he’s so full of it. He really is an entertainer. I don’t recall any other politicians speeches being pure entertainment like this though Reagan was quite funny at times.
