    The biggest Democrat riot so far?

    The endless shooting themselves in the foot.

    Independents - who decide all elections - won't be voting for the Democrat duo & more unhinged violence & destruction.

    I already did and there is NOTHING there that supports your disingenuous MISCHARACTERIZATION of her statement.

    Agreed, your wannabe Fascist-in-Chief does live in his own Bizarro World.

    What is weird is how many of his supporters want to become citizens of his Bizarro World.

    Never underestimate Trump's ability to shoot himself in the foot by misfiring his Twitter box.

    "They're still calling this free speech, but they're terrorizing citizens."

    Journalist Nancy Rommelmann has been on the scene in Portland asking protesters/rioters trying to understand the mindset. Protests have become "restive, unfocused and heading into dangerous territory".

    You have me confused with a Trump supporter, and Trump confused with your bizarre caricature of him.

    See above.

    True that!

    But as I've said, the only question is whether he'll win, or win in a landslide.

    There is something weird about conservatives that they get very angry if they see innocent people have their businesses burned and looted, if they see innocent people pulled out of their cars and beaten, if they see young people beating up helpless old people. That weird thing that conservatives have is empathy for the innocent. Liberals have it too, except it is not for the victims, it is for the perpetrators.

    Given that I have never seen you post anything remotely critical of your wannabe Fascist-in-Chief while you are consistently critical of Dems it is a LOGICAL deduction from the content of your posts.

    Ridiculous as your description of him is, I will now make you happy by saying that Trump is far from ideal.

    He's no Ike or Carter or Ford or Taft.

    But he is likewise nothing like the absurd caricature Democrats have made of him.

    This caricature is completely divorced from reality, and its creators are vastly more ugly than their grotesque and preposterous creation.

    Trump is the 4th worst president of the century (including Clinton), and possibly the 23rd worst/best ever.

    That's it - time for Democrats to put their hysteria to bed.

    You have more faith than I have. I been reading a lot from the "more sensible left" the last couple of months, those who detest the Far Left faction and those who see these radicals as an extreme threat to our republic. And yet, these people who seem to be the "real woke" people on the center-left curve, still see Biden as the better choice. It's incomprehensible to me to read their views that Biden will get steamrolled by those who would destroy our country, and then come to a conclusion that Biden is a better choice.

    Example:

    Seriously? That's got to create some cognitive dissonance to say we 1) must back any party which defends law and order, 2) Biden will surrender to the Far Left and won't restrain the fanatics, and 3) vote for Biden.

    How can intelligent people be so confused?

    It isn't the far left rioting - it's the desperate, the criminal, the insane.

    And the bizarre & dissonant views of Sullivan...

    The guy is a complete whackjob, and not in any way part of the left.

    He's a liberal; a warmongering sociopath & incoherent babbler.

    THAT is a great quote!

    US Dems are in a bad position.
    They don’t dare criticize the fringe violence from BLM or Antifa for fear of losing the black or extreme left vote but their favorability ratings are dropping from the rest.
    They blame Trump for the violence but people are increasingly seeing this as absurd.
    Once the tipping point is reached and the electorate have had enough of the violence then they will disavow the violence.
    There is no integrity just a calculation of voter intent.

    Thank you for establishing that you actually are a supporter of the wannabe Fascist-in-Chief.

    Have a nice day!

    I believe Sullivan is a bit shell shocked from recently seeing the New York Times turned into a supermarket tabloid by the Cancel Culture new hires from the radical generation. If he hadn't voluntarily resigned, closely following Bari Weiss out the door, he knew he'd be cancelled for having a "different liberal opinion" from the cultural orthodoxy, new religion, and narrow viewpoint which is the Far Left.

    He's half-woke. It may take him some time to get completely out of the liberal bubble and have some conversations with actual conservatives. He'll realize that there is a vast center of Americans on the left and right who have more things in common than we have differences. Namely, at this moment, the right to free speech.

    Give him time. :) People on the left, who are not part of the political Democrat leadership and not part of mainstream media, are talking far more about the dangers of today's radical left than they are talking about Orange Man Bad. It's a good sign.

    Trump is responsible for his divisive speech and inaction on Covid-19 and racial injustice. You have to be extremely partisan to not see that.

    What laws has he signed or pushed for or EO has he signed that gives you even the idea that he is a "wannabe "Fascist in Chief" or is this just more "Bovine Excrement"?

    ROFL, no. You have to be "extremely partisan" to think Trump's speaking is divisive, or to think he's been inactive about COVID, or to think we have any real racial injustice problem, or to believe Trump is in any way to fault for it.

    But it's cute watching you leftwing extremists accuse moderates of being the "extremely partisan" ones :roll:

    I wonder that every day about how people could consider such an emotionally unstable guy with severe personality disorders as someone to run the country.

    Of course Biden is the better choice.

    That is like the guy that beat his wife saying that she is to blame because she pissed him off. It's a third grade blame game strategy not to mention that your points are just fake liberal talking points. I smell desperation in your party.
