I have a better one.

What year did the conservatives abandon the Dems to full embrace the party of Lincoln?

What year did the conservatives abandon the Dems

Yes, slavery was the biggest issue with these conservatives that year(LOL)

Biden isnt in charge. He currently holds no public office. Trump does and he's failing.

Trump does and he's failing

And what is he failing at?

 

[roguenuke]

And what is he failing at?

To unite everyone, not just his base. To listen to and at least pretend to understand and be willing to look into grievances people express. To quit being selfish and actually be a leader. He fails all the time to consistently show a good example, to be competent, to inspire confidence in him by most people, not just those he sees as his base, his supporters.

Then pray tell of the Tea party days during the Obama admin?

Doesn't sound like unification to me?

Trumps America.

LOL
These are Bernie Bros.
Let’s see, Democrat governor, democrat mayor, hasn’t voted a Republican for president in how many years, but it’s Trumps fault. This is where you blame Trump for sending federal officers for three weeks to protect federal property during three months of riots.

When the left has so much hate, there will not any uniting.
The left couldn’t unite with Bush or Reagan or Lincoln.

This also applies to the republicans. Do you think Obama united the country. No, he caused division as well. That is what the left does the best.

Just another night of peaceful protesting in Portland.

Biden isn’t president, yet.

Trump is, and he has only contributed to the anger.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Sixty unanswered 911 calls in Portland. Defund the police. Biden’s America. Own it.

Last time I checked Trump was still president. Trump owns the current unrest, 100%.

Not mine. I'm Canadian. It's your country.
You guys inherited the best country in the world and you've squandered your inheritance. You lot will be known in the history books as The Worst Generation. And all of you, all you can do is turn slow circles pointing at each other and protesting your own helplessness.

Wow. Hadn't realized that Canadian liberals were as clueless as US liberals. I guess it must be something the two have in common. Hmm. :thinking

Obama "divided the country" in that he dared to be black and occupy the Oval Office. This enraged the kind of neo-nazis and bigots who swarmed onto the Trump campaign. Trump gets extremely strong support from folks like David Duke and the KKK. And Trump is smart in that he knew all he had to do was jump on the "birtherism" with both feet to "make his bones" in the GOP of the 21st century. Once he realized how effective that racist lie was he kept going! Mexican rapists! S***hole countries! Now he's stuck trying find "good people" among Neo-Nazis and he "accidentally" re-tweets video of his supporters shouting "White Power".

Yes, Obama "divided the country". How dare he.

Wait until you have to explain to a Belgian taxi driver why America acts so stupidly with regards to global warming (as just one example). TRY to explain American healthcare to a Finnish co-worker. (Just try!)

So our Canadian friends are right: literally the only people who think America is on the right track are Trump Voters and Vladimir Putin (who probably literally had an orgasm when Trump started repeatedly attacking NATO and then recently talking about drawing down troops in Germany.)

No, I think the calculus goes that Trump gets credit for anything "good" that happens (that includes things that were happening long before he got in office but continue, like the sun shining) and he is free of responsibilities for anything that goes wrong.

I mean how cruel a monster do you have to be to take a 74 year old man who has never had to take responsibility for anything in his entire life and suddenly start forcing him to take responsibility????

I'm sorry, but elder abuse is not a good thing!

Trump's America Gramps, the one you SUPPORT.

I suppose using this logic, the riots from Michael Brown and Freddie Gray were Obama's America?

 

[jotathought]

Who's the President? Biden?
Trumps America. And you want four more years of this.

Yeah .. never mind that local and state politicians have done little to curb the violence in many metropolitan areas, moving to downsize and/or abolish police departments, negotiating federal law enforcement to leave the city and communicating to their constituencies to hand over personal property (e.g. phones and wallets) when approached by criminals. Democrats fail to acknowledge the heightened level of violence, anarchy and personal property destruction while cities are being controlled by mobs across the United States. Despicable. Democrats America and they'd would (and have) complained if federal law enforcement stepped in to control the chaos created by Democrats.

Ummm, I don't think Portland has "defunded the police" yet....so if the 911 calls are going unanswered it has nothing to do with this.

(Also, serious discussion of "Defund the police" isn't really around eliminating all police. But you saw an ad created by partisan hacks meant to bamboozle the easily led. No "Defund the Police" is a horrible name for a pretty good idea. We need to shift funding from just cops-with-a-gun to also have more mental healthcare experts/crisis intervention expertise and de-escalation people out on the street.)

 

[istodolez]

negotiating federal law enforcement to leave the city

Hmmm, this is interesting. Because the first time I heard about the mysterious "unmarked" vans and "paramilitary guys without insignia" rounding up protestors I was actually kinda thinking that was a "bad" thing. But I forget we are living in Putin's American now. Mousse-o-lini of the Orange Tan is overseeing the kind of excesses we expect from a dictatorship.

I have no doubt that there are many a varied opinions across the world about the USA.
Sure, from their perspective, there are some things the US government does which are stupid (probably allot) and some which aren't. It's all their perspective.

Regardless of all that, there are still legions of people who are applying for immigration to the US. That kinda says something significant right there as well.

So our Canadian friends are right: literally the only people who think America is on the right track are Trump Voters and Vladimir Putin (who probably literally had an orgasm when Trump started repeatedly attacking NATO and then recently talking about drawing down troops in Germany.)

The GOP may not be great; they may not solve all your problems for you, but that looks pretty good when they are running against totally insane, hard leftist / progressive public policy prescriptions we see the results of in the riot ridden Democrat controlled cities.

There are metropolitan areas which will be shifting law enforcement funds to other city services and reducing the size of their force -- This will inevitably lead to the unintended consequences where law enforcement officers will retire early, find other police friendly cities to work, make a career change and minimize the desire for new recruits to join.

There are also metropolitan areas who are working to completely dismantle law enforcement (e.g. Minneapolis).

Great plan Democrats!

Meanwhile, since nature abhors a vacuum, armed leftist mobs have taken up the space the local police have vacated by the Democrat's local government orders, leaving this to take it's place.



This is the result of Democrat public policies, and if, taken to the national level, will be prevalent across the entire nation.

The Democrats will have the civil war they'd been sowing for some 10 years now with their politics of division Uber Alles.

Why are unmarked vehicles a surprise? Law enforcement use unmarked cars across the United States and have been for years. Federal law enforcement officers had "POLICE" clearly visible on their uniforms and other insignia to identify their unit/team. Federal law enforcement officers did not wear their names because ass douches were doxing them and used a unique identifier to mitigate this concern.

Go back to Jim Jones and suck down some more Koolaid.

Why would anyone want to be in law enforcement when their leadership wants them gone and doesn't support efforts to address the surge in violence?

Maybe 'Escape from New York' was foreshadowing?
Maybe there'll be a sequel, 'Escape from Portland'? And 'Escape from Seattle', 'Escape from Baltimore'?

Biden is hardly "hard leftist"...he's a lifelong centerist. But it is becoming more apparent that Progressivism is growing in America. A lot of young people are realizing that the "American Dream" is mostly a game rigged against them. And a lot of people who have sat by while they are systemically treated as second class (or less) citizens are finally getting tired enough to stand up.

Trump is incompetent. There's literally no way to view him as anything other than that. He DEFINITELY has big business's interests in mind and that helps buoy stock prices and keep the train a rollin' after Obama's term oversaw the longest peace-time economic growth in America's history. I will grant Trump that. But his massive mishandling of COVID is threatening that. Even though the stock market is mysteriously still pretty good, that can't last forever. We should have been doing SOMETHING to ensure we can get out of this COVID thing unscathed, but I guess we'll see.

Playing a LOT of golf and acting like a malevolent toddler doesn't seem to be as effective for dealing with the worst pandemic in a century, but we should give him more time. Maybe if he comes up with a great insulting nickname for Kamala it'll be "game-set-and-match" for COVID!
