    1) Yeah, Dems are bought by industry too. We're working on that problem, unlike the GOP
    2) 12 years have gone by- as feckless as the Dems can be, it's unlikely that they will, as they did in 2009, assume that the GOP will act in good faith.
    3) There was a bit of an economic crisis going on at the time, if you hadn't noticed. Sometimes you don't get to choose the priorities you inherit.

Doesnt matte rif you are a trump supporter or Antifa or BLM. Mob justice is not to be trusted.
    Maybe you should rethink that statement. Not sure you understand you're saying MLK Jr deserved to be run over by a car.

    i stand by my statement that when an angry mob used force against a vehicle, that it is in the best interests of those inside the vehicle to avoid harm by any means necessary, up to and including driving through the mob. Your political ideology does not grant one the right to illegally detain and assault those inside and there is historical evidence of what happens to those who have left their fate to the judgment of mobs. By all means, you are welcome to use the tactic of shutting down roadways in protest, but you best be ready to face the full mass of that which you try to intimidate with force.

    Protests should just stay out of the way anyway, right? I mean, how dare anyone be incovenienced?!

    If it's one thing that all of these state "laboratories" have proven it's that right wing politics mixed with supply side Jesus is a great way to make people's lives shittier.

    And yet they keep voting republican. I can only imagine it's because they are already conditioned by their brand of religion to blindly follow and not ask tough questions. Having grown up around them, this makes the most sense. It kind of explains why someone like McConnell can keep office.
    The republican go-to for why their trickle down economic models don't work when they're given free reign to pursue them is always that somewhere, somehow, the democrats are actually screwing it up, and that it'd work perfectly fine if the insidious liberals weren't secretly undermining them.

    It's sort of a catch-22; the problem with republicans holding total power is that, when things inevitably go to shit, it's far more difficult for them to blame the democrats for their conceptually-faulty republican economic and social models going south. They need someone to blame.

    Hell, look at the Trump administration. He's not bandying about any of his "republican successes," despite the fact that for the first two years of his presidency republicans practically had total control. He's focusing on trying to demonize Biden as being some "radical left puppet" while simultaneously working to undermine the election in any way possible.

    no they should not. But they should expect retaliation for any harm they choose to inflict.

    To paraphrase Stevie Wonder's thoughts on the matter, they're angry enough about the protests to complain about them, but not angry enough about them to actually try and fix the things people are protesting about.

    As far as I'm concerned... if that's indeed their attitude they can stay inconvenienced.

    Why would you retaliate against protests?

    You're describing murder. And stating that you support murder.

    What the hell is wrong with you? You've been inconvenienced slightly, and that triggers a death sentence on those who annoy you?

    You're saying two things here. (1) defending yourself from harm. (2)The other is running down peaceful protesters, murdering them in cold blood. You need to rethink that statement before you face repercussions, both on this forum and in your own conscience.

    Now would that be harm to their white fragility, or something even more ethereal like harm to the status quo?

    You support James Alex Fields Jr.'s actions, don't you? Go ahead, get it off your chest and let the world see what's really motivating this trip into a hypothetical lala land of scary protestors with their giant penises threatening innocent motorists just trying to drive their beautiful white families to church!

    He really needs to rethink that position. Condoning the murder of peaceful protesters, even calling for it, isn't what any decent human being does.

    well that's lie since i already explained in this very thread that what james id was not fleeing for his life.. he was the instigator. strange that you would lie like that..no wait it isn't.. the authoritarian left wing does lies all the time.

    Coming out with the tax returns a good month before the election makes me wonder wtf else is in store for Trump. I'd be very worried if I were him.

    I'd actually say they're way more in tune. Most actors (unlike Wall Street bros, who usually come from monied families) are solidly middle class and struggling before they're discovered. Unless you're like, Meryl Streep or someone, who was born into Hollywood elite already.
