Nice to know you'll gleefully dismiss an objectively real, serious and systemic issue in law enforcement in the western hemisphere.


Can’t say I’m a fan of a minority of people in London using the protests to attack press and cops though. Like, the police in London couldn’t be any softer on these protests if they tried - though, the people attacking them don’t care - they just want to either start shit and get sympathy or want the looting and riots to start: they don’t care about the movement.

Unfortunately yes, as all social distancing has gone out the window, as well as people moving around far more than they were before.

Not "the greatest ever", as Trump claimed though. Eisenhower's, Kennedy's and Clinton's economies were better. Reagan in 1984 even achieved an unprecendented GDP growth rate of 7.3%. I believe Trump can't reverse the inevitable decline of US GDP growth in the recent years, no matter what policies he enacted.

I'd be much angrier with liberals risking a second wave of coronavirus to protest a foreign crisis if our own domestic scandals and confused government policy hadn't already done so much to undermine the protection measures.

Trump’s approval ratings have been consistently lower than Obama and Bush, but haven’t gone lower than their lowest point in 2017 since.


Considering both are modern presidents and the fact that W Bush had "get revenge for 9/11" momentum on his side, how is Trump going to pull a second term from his ass?

The people who voted trump in 2016 beacuse they saw him as the lesser evil now will see that Trump has damaged everything while Biden can be competent and has less baggage then Hillary.

Trump being an idiot doesn't negate that people can still view him as the lesser evil. The culture wars are a hell of thing.

Theres still people who will vote for Trump due tribal reasons. But even this hard core of supporters is slowly melting down. The fact that Trump cannot defend their interests properly will possibly impact mobilization.

Such an disarrayed response and mess would never happened to the team of Bush/Cheney. They knew to run administration and the bureaucracy smoothly.

That's the thing, the news cycle isn't moving fast. Quite the opposite, it's moving so painfully slow that it in large part helped accelerate and cause this much outrage because we had nothing else to focus on.

Theres apparently some infighting in the Pentagon itself. I think they do not want to be dragged onto a street fight for Trump or his political games. Theres some sympathies for the protests too. Its a very unpredictable situation.

So far Trump has other forces to defend him. My bet is that he will try to slide the whole thing until the protests lessen. Maybe hes also counting on Corona hitting some of the protestors so he can later gloat about it or something. Which is probably the smartest thing he can do as his presidential authority is severely damaged atm.
