It's well within the rights of the Federal government to protect federal property. What would you like all cops to be dressed in pink so they are more easily identified and use their nice words like a 4 year old to ask people to comply with the Law. Lets replace guns and batons with lollipops and teddy bears to get them to comply. There is a huge difference between peaceful protesters and the trash out there just destroying shit because it makes them feel cool. I have no issue with them taking a beanbag to the ballsack or a rubber bullet to the melon when they are destroying shit. The "innocents" being caught up in it is on them. when the protest becomes rioting get the fuck out of dodge. Cops do a lot of wrong and harass a lot of people who don't deserve to be harassed. this isn't that nor TBH was George Floyd where the cops did everything right till they kneeled on him too long.

Trump didn't shut down the economy in Michigan California new york new Jersey and Illinois. Trump didn't invent Covid19. Prior to Covid trump was a lock to win reelection on the economy alone.

Anler Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I don't give Trump credit for the economy. You throw an extra half a trillion a year at it, it's going to rise. For a while until inflation catches up. Anyone can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if the Republicans would have let Obama and the Dems spend as much as they wanted we would have been off to the races much sooner. Trump has spent as much as Obama in 4 years as Obama did 8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time away from a recession in and of itself gives consumers confidence. Nothing he did boosted it aside from record deficit spending and debt fueled tax cuts in non recessionary times. Anyone who thinks he did simply has no understanding of basic economics. Edited August 1, 2020 by frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
