But never voting machines.

Also, as we learned from the pandemic, Trump can't make cities do anything. Except foot the bill for his rallies.

He won’t protect the lives of Americans. But he wants to protect confederate statues.

He's officially shown more care for inanimate racist statues than for black lives.

Even the Democrats have those cheap plastic ARs down here. Lol...
I agree with you. Who takes it upon themselves to protect monuments to foreign invaders? I would say that they deserve whatever they get. The whole thing was based on a Facebook post that implied that outsiders were coming here to riot. And, once again, humiliating stupidity ensued. Honestly I could blame Facebook. But I remember when I was just a little kid in the mid 70s, our babysitter, (in her late 20s) terrorized us with tales or MLK mobs coming to kill us. (I churched the terminology up a bit there, since what she said was pretty horrific) and there was no Facebook back then. But there were racists and scared white people.

"Humiliating stupidity ensued ".
We should print that on our money. It is more honest than"In God we trust ".

His priorities are so fucking out of whack it is insane. How is it that the most horrible, evil man in the world managed to become the President of the United States? Something is really wrong here.
