Fuck Maine Democrats

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-05/trump-forges-ahead-with-maine-visit-despite-warnings

Trump’s visit was designed to tout his administration’s efforts to bolster coronavirus testing, as he seeks to reverse public opinion of his handling of the pandemic. It’s also a chance for the president to set foot in a key area for his re-election as his response to nationwide protests against police brutality continues to draw widespread criticism.

Yet the decision to visit the state puzzled some Republicans, who point out that Collins has sought to keep her distance from Trump as she faces an uphill struggle for a fifth term -- a crucial race for the party to keep its narrow Senate majority. Colin Reed, a GOP strategist, said Collins would have to “outrun” Trump in Maine if she hopes to win again, and a presidential visit isn’t something her campaign would request.

“If he goes to these blue, purple and battleground states, it’s going to create headaches for the Republican incumbents running for re-election who not only have to deal with the shaky national tide, but then have to deal with his presence in the state and everything that goes with it,” Reed said.

Yeah, fuck those Democrats!!

Senator Susan Collins chose to stay in DC while Trump went on a campaign trip.

Fuck those Democrats!!

You'd hope no one gets nailed to the cross of injustice in the rush to appease violent protesters.

We'd hope you could understand that nobody is rushing to appease violent protesters.

But we would hope much. You have shown a world class ability to ignore facts and reality.

Violent protesters are being appeased at every turn.
They demand, they get.

Goodell takes a knee

apologizes over NFL's stance re Kap's protest

4 years too late

but he sees the howling winds of change and decides to take the wind

They won't all get 40 years.  You really are an extremist.
Chauvin will get the harshest sentence. 
The other three will have significantly shorter ones.

You can't say what they'll get.
We live in extreme times.
The hatred of cops in America now...is red hot...seems to me...look around.

In America, you seem to get many years in prison for not doing much wrong. [I watch real crime stories from America too.]
And, you can end up on death row even if you're totally innocent.
When those "US prosecutors" get hold of you "anything" can happen.

Here's some of that appeasement that Bambi is lying about:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/05/us/buffalo-police-suspension-shoving-man-trnd/index.html

Based on the initial video, police issued a statement that said Gugino tripped and fell, police spokesman Mike DeGeorge told CNN.

After more videos became available, police amended that statement, and Buffalo Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood suspended the officers without pay and opened an investigation, he said.

"The department moved swiftly" and "corrected" the information, DeGeorge said.

But it's not just that they pushed over the 75 year old man without cause or need to do so, regardless of his having refused to leave (assuming he was told to).

It's that as he lay there, his head bleeding, after the push, the rest of the police stood around doing nothing.

They are to protect even those vicious 75 year olds who insist on violently standing in their way. They failed to come even close to that standard.

Yes, but you are a racist who cannot accept views other than the ones that agree with yours.

Ready to admit that climate change is caused by men, yet?

Read to admit that human action can have an impact, yet?

It was after curfew, he should've obeyed the law and been at home.
Take on riot cops, you take your chances.
I saw the video. There was no need to push him as hard as one cop did...but, there's war on the streets, people are hyped up, going into violent battle.
You could always blame the violent protesters.
As soon as they saw the man bleeding the cops should've called an ambulance.

As always, Bambu, thank you for sharing your idiotic anguish with us. I feel like by interacting with you we are taking work from qualified Australian mental heath professionals or possibly Australian livestock handlers.

Having good information available is irrelevant to your ability form an accurate picture of what is happening in the world. Your brain is simply broken.

I expect you will keep up your bleating here rather than seek the help you clearly need.

Most climate change occurs naturally, ice ages come and go.
Human action has very little impact on climate change.
Trump can see it.

He's a wise and compassionate man. “Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country. It’s a great day for him, it’s a great day for everybody.”---Donald J. Trump

You didn't answer my question about if you'd been Kueng, Thao, and Lane what exactly you would've done to stop Chauvin.

Everyone in this forum should be saying what they would've actually done.

New cases are  expanding faster than ever, worldwide.

A new highest one day total came on June 3rd.

Separately, North Carolina, too, continues to see rising case numbers, doubling every 3 weeks. Gee, wonder why they want to be cautious about COVID-19 and the RNC Convention?! Florida is every month. Louisiana is ever 2 months (like MA and NH).

They could move it to Kansas (3 months to double) or Wyoming (4 months), or even Michigan (5 months!).

So, the cops broke the law, but you defends them, because the other people broke the law?

Blame the violent protesters, none of whom are in the video?

"Take on riot cops, and you take your chances," because the riot cops are out of control and lawless?!

THAT is your argument?!

Yes, they should have called an ambulance. And they should have used their training to see to him. But they didn't.

Your argument is that we should appease the violent, lawless police.

I get it.

We'd hope you could understand that nobody is rushing to appease violent protesters.

I think there is one correct response, 'take your knee off his neck, you're choking the guy."

There were 4 cops there to subdue him if he resisted arrest.

I think we can agree  that as it regards Mr Floyd, they took the worst course of action.

China before Wuhan province shut down and a couple weeks after it.

North Carolina

California


This brief slowdown in activity won't stop global warming, but it clearly has an impact and the reason the impact is not larger is because the CO₂ remains in the atmosphere for 4 years.

Everybody but you can see how human activity has a visible impact.

But like I said, above, Yes, but you are a racist who cannot accept views other than the ones that agree with yours. And in this case, an ignoramus, too.
