Kinda weird...but ..............."That's all folks."

I have a "theory" about the cop who killed George Floyd...warning: totally evil & upsetting..

.........Well...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.YES, JUST A THEORY....!!!!!!!!!

...My theory is that the cop, Derek Chauvin was showing the rookie cops exactly what they could get away with and have....no consequences.. He had been around a long time, and that district had a reputation for being very rough ...(I read that today)..I guess he was "showing off" sort to speak..Why?..Who knows?
.....Perhaps someone had done the exact same thing for him when he was a ..."rookie cop." I told you it was evil and upsetting...

Trump talking about "race & equality" is like Hitler talking about how wonderful Mr. Stalin is ...

..and how much he admires him and his peace treaty with Stalin.....3 days before Hitler's invasion of the
Soviet Union....


Got any better comparisons?? Please describe and post..Thank You...Stuart G...

Stupid is Still..."STUPID"... and Bill Barr is very stupid.

Barr says that "Pepper Spray" is NOT a chemical irritant." and those words prove he is very stupid.
Yes, there are stupid people out there, and when you think you have seen them all...there are more..
Bill Barr's statement today proves that the current Attorney General of the United States of America is very stupid. Also, he thinks he can get away with that lie, and that is also stupid. Barr will not get away with that lie....................................

A strange but a positive result of the last few weeks of Trump & his dictatorial behavior.(maybe)??

.....Yes, one positive result might be...(don't know, it is the future...) that there will be a complete and total discussion about the Constitution and the powers given to the President of the United States by the Constitution of the United States of America. Trump will argue he inherently has that power, while the rest of us and many republicans will argue he doesn't..As the media brings forth information about what Trump did and said, I think that it will be clear to all, that Trump did try to overstep the authority that the Constitution allows him.
....That discussion has already started as seen in some threads up now and in the last few days. I believe there was one from the Wall Street Journal that strongly criticized Trump, but that one is just the beginning. As the election gets closer, more information will be exposed that will prove Trump was trying take power that he does not legally have. We could be surprised by the number of sources that will agree and support this view of Trump. If there is a very strong majority of the media of all sources & backgrounds supporting this idea..then that will be the end of Trump. Biden will clearly discuss this at length and he could win in a landslide and the Constitution and democracy could be saved. This could happen, or maybe not. It is the future. We can hope. Can't we?

In your opinion, when is the best time to make political contributions to candidates?

Maybe, just maybe I can donate a couple of times to Democratic candidates running in the Senate & House..
I guess mid September for the final month. What other months make the most sense from now to
November?...A small amount to most important candidates a couple of times may make a difference

...Lots of close races in the Senate and if we can get a majority, that would be great.
