Virtual Conventions

Discussions. Still no racial epithets or political campaigning. Don’t bring any of this back to the sports boards. What’s said in FFA, stays in FFA.

So we are to believe that Antifa is not a terrorist organization, but are a group of peaceful protestors?

Why do these peaceful protestors feel the need to cover their faces with masks, shields and helmets.
After all, if their message is peaceful, no need to hide like a cowherd.

And why all dress the same? so there is less distinguishable and identifying features to be caught on camera.

Why do these peaceful protest throw bricks, frozen water bottles, rocks and molitail cocktails. Why are they setting cars and buildings on fire.
Why are they pulling back boarded up, already damaged precincts to throw bombs inside, while human beings are inside? Why do they beat people to a state of unconsciousness?

This is the very definition of Terrorism and Terrorist. To think anything less is to support what they are doing.
Why are you obsessed with Antifa? Isn't that just a shiny object being used to distract you? Rate these problems in order of importance for the country for us. Antifa, Racism, Health Care, Immigration, National Debt, Covid 19. Could easily add others. Now, when you inevitably realize how low on the totem pole Antifa belongs, how much attention does that shiny object really merit? Except that you just really want more Democratic politicians than already have condemn the violence. I mean, really, Stosh.

Biden. Dude. We're talking about Biden. Not Bernie. Not AOC. You're just looking for an excuse, any excuse not to vote Dem. This is like me saying I can deal with Romney (moderate Repub) policy agenda, so I'm going to vot for AOC as president.

That is ridiculous. Your going to choose Trump over the center left. Unreal.
AOC, Thalib, Ohmar. They all get promotions.

Which American industry is Liz Warren goi f to attack first?

What will Bernie be in charge of?

I’m not worried about Joe Biden. I think he’s a puppet at this point in his career and life.

I’m worried about the more radical left that has taken over your party. They have the loudest voices and biggest pull right now.

I don’t think I’m any way we are merely getting “Center left” if Biden wins.

No way.

Don’t worry Lit, I’m out in Ca.

Biden is getting my vote.

And this actually brings up a point I wanted to make but dont have time at present.

For many it’s about the or a person.

For me it’s about policy.

Nobody talks policy anymore. It’s always about this person be that one.

Take the people out of the equation and tell me which Dem policy I’m supposed to be most excited about.

What in their platform should be attractive to me?

P-Wit.
1-2 years ago ago, i said of all the candidates running as Democrats, Joe Biden and John Delaney could get my vote.

Three things happened over the last 9 months.

Joe Biden was anointed.
Joe Biden lost his mind.
The cabinet that will run the country while Joe withers away in the basement has such an extreme leftist / soicalist platform that will destroy this country.

This election is not Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden.
Its about TDS vs Joe Biden.

Its Democracy vs Socialism.
Period.

And if your TDS is so severe that you cant see this.
That you side with TDS over the future of an entire country, be careful what you wish yourself.

I'd love to hear what you think socialism actually is.

My god, Trump's messaging actually works on you. You really think Joe Biden's administration is going to be a socialist Trojan Horse.

That's rich.

While my comment wasn’t aimed at propping Trump, the event itself is in fact news and worthy of being reported.

It’s a sign of health within our system and financial markets. It’s a sign that people who suffered major losses are whole again (provides they didn’t sell).

It’s something that should just be part of any legitimate news coverage of the day.

But It will not get mention in some places. Because strong market makes people feel good. And people that feel good tend to vote for the incumbent.

Speaking of who else spoke at the convention

Guess she got some of her facts mixed up. Again, doesn't anyone proofread these speeches?


https://j7dfh9pbumnyhazfmcsfgm9m.apnews.com/APFactCheck
WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.

She’s right that Trump’s now-suspended policy at the U.S.-Mexico border separated thousands of children from their families in ways that had not been done before. But what she did not say is that the very same “cages” were built and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.

A look at her remark in the keynote address at the opening night of the remote Democratic National Convention:

MICHELLE OBAMA, on Americans: “They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages.”

ADVERTISEMENT

THE FACTS: The reference to cages is misleading and a matter that Democrats have persistently distorted.

Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border. They are chain-link enclosures inside border facilities where migrants were temporarily housed, separated by sex and age.

At the height of the controversy over Trump’s zero-tolerance policy at the border, photos that circulated online of children in the enclosures generated great anger. But those photos — by The Associated Press — were taken in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack Obama.

When that fact came to light, some Democrats and activists who had tweeted the photos deleted their tweets. But prominent Democrats have continued to cite cages for children as a distinctive cruelty of Trump.

ADVERTISEMENT

The former first lady was correct, however, in addressing the removal of children from parents at the border.

The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history.

But family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy.

Allowing Antifa to grow from a small mob in Seattle, to college campuses, to larger towns, larger cities, to massive violent mobs..... and tolerated by the Democratic party is horrifying.

Uh huh.

1. How exactly are these "mobs" actually a threat to your family?
2. Tell me what you think socialism is, exactly.

Look, I'm not going to change your mind. That's obvious. But you oooze hysteria.

You just listed a bunch of "threats" and I'd love to hear the arguments that prove these things are actually threats.

You sound like Trump's re-election campaign talking points.

Not going over this again because it’s stupid.

When kids came alone or with parents who 1) weren’t their parents (trafficking) or 2) were smuggling drugs, the kids were kept in those facilities at the border. Kids weren’t ripped from their parents’ arms to punish the parents.

That’s ALL on Fat Donnie Bone Spurs.

Trump had a POLICY OF FAMILY SEPARATION that continued long after he said it would stop and to this day, there are an untold number of kids who will likely never be reunited with their parents.

Trump should hang for that alone.

Why are you obsessed with Antifa? Isn't that just a shiny object being used to distract you? Rate these problems in order of importance for the country for us. Antifa, Racism, Health Care, Immigration, National Debt, Covid 19. Could easily add others. Now, when you inevitably realize how low on the totem pole Antifa belongs, how much attention does that shiny object really merit? Except that you just really want more Democratic politicians than already have condemn the violence. I mean, really, Stosh.
Wit.
You Left out the most important choice above.
The peace and safety of my family.
The violence of the left is threatening that.
The defund the police is threatening that.
The eliminate the police is really threatening that.
Allowing Antifa to grow from a small mob in Seattle, to college campuses, to larger towns, larger cities, to massive violent mobs..... and tolerated by the Democratic party is horrifying.

52 years old and im applying for a gun permit, as are hundreds in my small town. Millions nation wide, every month.

Antifa and BLM mobs heading from big cities to suburbs is real.

The safety of my family is first on the list you missed.

I
This post is definitely getting shared.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I live in a Midwestern city that has had a history of racial tension and tension between police and the black community. We had serious protests here. Some of it got violent. It's calmed down. The surrounding suburbs are not in danger and never were. I think Stosh is a good dude. I also think on this he's woefully mistaken and full of shit.

1. How exactly are these "mobs" actually a threat to your family?
2. Tell me what you think socialism is, exactly
1. Did anyone think these mobs would destroy cities?
2. Are we safer today traveling into the city ?
3. Anyone think people would be moving out of cities because of the violence and ensuing destruction to business and lawlessness?
4. Have you not seen the spread into smaller cities and rural neighborhoods?
5. Am I thrilled my daughter is going to school in one of the bigger cities, over 100 miles away.
6. Is there a better chance today, for someone from my family to get assaulted, than there was 6 months ago?
7. Is there a better chance that criminal walks the next day?

A. More government control. Bigger government. More waste. More corruption.
B. Government controlled and centralized heath care. Fewer choices, slower healthcare.
C. Equal distribution of wealth. Distributions to less motivated.
D. Increase in taxes and fees.
E. Decrease in productivity.
F. Slow economic growth.
G. Less incentives for prosperity.
H. Huge government spending out weighing incoming taxes.
I. Inflation and increase in deficit.


1A. What do you think of the out of control violence in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, etc. Why does this current party not denounce it, slow it or end it?
1B. What are your thoughts on Antifa?
2A. What you think socialism is, exactly.

Yup. Stosh is a good dude. Gotta emphasize that. But I still want the results of the steeler score game. . . :shock:

Looks like somewhat of a small town.

Lovely that this has led to a black female police chief of a major US city, resigning.

1B. What are your thoughts on Antifa?
2A. What you think socialism is, exactly.
1. Unless four city blocks amount to an entire city no city has been destroyed. So you're wrong on 1.
2. My major city had demos and violence. Three blocks away, you'd have no idea it was even happening. My city is fine. I'd say you're wrong.
3. I want to move out the city because houses are too expensive. This is the main driver. So I'd say you're wrong.
4.This does not mean it has been violent. It just says demos are spreading.
5. Is the campus safe?
6. Is there? You ask a question. You don't give evidence.
7. Same s 6.

I think violence needs to be condemned and it needs to be stopped.
I don't have much thought about Antifa bc they pose less threat to public safety than drunk driving. I think we live in a federated republic and that means you get what you want by persuasion, not violence.

Socialism is the government control of resources and the means to produce them. Bigger government control could mean anything.

This chat was fun.

Cant watch this much longer without waitng for anyone, someone, mentioning what is happening in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, NY, LA, SF, Washington, etc.

80 something straight nights of violence and mostly violent protests in Portland. Molitail cocktails, bricks, frozen water bottles, bats, rocks, fireworks, lazers in eyes, etc... with no end in site. Setting precincts on fire with police inside. Holly shit the beating that one guy got tonight. Has to have brain damage. Google it. Sickening. Still waiting for the Mayor and Governor to put a stop to this. Let alone even denounce it. Anyone denounce this violence during convention tonight? Can't believe Bernie used the term mostly peaceful protests tonight in his speech. Holly crap! Please go to the front line in person and join the peacful protests. Money has it he would get his head bashed in. Much easier to be oblivious 1000s of miles away and continue to feed the MSM with...mostly peaceful. If i had a $1 for every time someone said mostly peaceful, I'd have a alot of. Money to hand to the families of the innocent people killed during these "mostly peaceful " protests. David Dorn, Italia Kelly, ..to name a few.
Perfect platform to spread a message of peace. Swing and miss.

Seattle handed their streets over to the antifa terrororists a long time ago. Maybe they saved their city from burning by simply giving in to these terrorists. If you don't agree with or hold the same views you will be open to violence or harm. The rioting is intensifying in Seattle as the hour ticks, so maybe Seattle has a tuff road ahead and they may not be spared.

Minneapolis has close to 700 buildings and businesse damaged, burned or destroyed. I assume More mostly peaceful protests again, that did the damage. Jeez.
What a shame, as many or most of those businesses will head out of that city and not return. That area will be like that for a long time. Many if these businesses destroyed were minority or immigrant owned. A Pakastanian immigrant had his business and building destroyed and was standing in front of a sunk in hole of piled bricks and debris. Said the city put up a fence around the property and sent him a bill for the fence. A black couple just opened their dream business, sports bar,...destroyed.
Sad. Those burned out businesses are being asked to pay forward the rest of their rents/ taxes for 2020 before rebuilding. Bye, bye.
Anyone tonight at the convention apallaed or disgusted?

Chicago has seen murder almost double from 2019 and we are only in August. Lori Lightfoot is clearly the worst mayor in the United States. Tho Bill Deblasio is giving her the ride for her money. Both of whom are stealing paychecks. What a perfect audience for Lightfoot to ask for peace. How many black lives will be taken, black kids killed, innocent bystanders killed before anyone in that city makes a stand. Turns it around. They don't seem to care about these people. People talk about not being able to walk in their neighborhoods, being home before nightfall, staying off stoops and away from windows. Assasinations. Sickening.

People are leaving NYC. The blundering duo of Deblasio and Cuomo have taken the greatest city to its knees. Deblasio is just oblivious, was so, long before the clock struck 2020. His not putting a stop to the water buckets humiliation in 2018-19, emboldened the crimunal element. Saw a video of a 6-7 year old handed a bucket of water to throw on a cup. No bail that took effect before the virus took hold, then realeasing criminals from jails when covid hit was a double whammy for this city.
Cuomos not using the 1000 bed Navy hospital ship was mind boggling, as i think less than 200 were treated there. The Javits center had 2500 beds set up by the US army. Less than 1000 patients were treated with more empty beds than occupied.
5 of 50 states sent their elderly with the virus back to nursing homes. I believe NY, NJ, PA, MI and Cal. Cuomo sent them back and over 6000 died.
I loved Mario Cuomo, thought he could have been the first Italian president!
His son could be criminally negligent.
Apartment vacancies and commercial vacancies are sky rocketing. People are leaving the city. Last week
Cuomo was begging people to come back. Come back to continue paying high taxes to bail out his mess. Bye, bye.

People are leaving LA and SF as well. Heard California was looking to add a tax to those who move out of state.....a 10 year tax! I would imagine Kamala, Garcetti, Newsome, Pelosi, Waters will all talk during the convention. Anyone of them going to discuss the mess they made of their state?
Bet not.

I hope tomorrow night we will here some words, messages, platform that address what is happening in these cities. How to fix them. How to stop the violence and murder. How to squash the terrorists and make them accountable and or put behind bars.

End appaul and disgust.
Peace.
