Donald J. Trump did not serve in the military during the Viet Nam war for two reasons, as follows: 1. He did not volunteer for military service. 2. His draft lottery number was 350, so there was no way on God's green Earth he was going to be drafted. |

Minneapolis 5th precinct damaged after rocks, paint thrown
The Minneapolis Police Department reported a peaceful protest marching toward the 5th Precinct on Saturday escalated and resulted in the precinct sustaining damages. According to Minneapolis police, at 10:10 p.m., officers witnessed 50 to 60 people marching towards 3100 block of Nicollet Avenue South. Police said the march was peaceful, but once the group arrived at the precinct, rocks were thrown and a window had sustained damage from the incident. The group had also begun to throw paint on the building and cameras, said police. According to officers, commercial-grade fireworks were shot at the officers, but no officers were injured. Other officers were called in to assist, but the group fled before officers could stage and arrive. Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo made a statement regarding the incident “Last night, individuals marched to the Minneapolis Police Department’s 5th Precinct and proceeded to vandalize the exterior of the building and target officers with commercial grade fireworks. This unlawful and senseless behavior will not be tolerated. This stupid ****ing chimp. How many arrests were made last night boy? ZERO. Not ONE. What. Nobody home? At a police precinct? https://kstp.com/minnesota-news/5th-...5829477/?cat=1 |

What I do think is this mess has exposed the true nature of both sides of the isle. We all know what the extreme Left agenda is. We see it daily in the tearing down of statues, rioting and looting and even changing the names of sports teams. But what of the Right? What have you done? (Not you personally) Piss and moan on social media? Talk tough on random automobile forums? If I've seen it once I've seen it a hundred times - Some redneck flying the Trump flag loud and proud wearing the 'Merica! **** Yeah!' T-Shirt. If I'm the Marmalade Moron the last thing I'd want is this group lobbying on my behalf. All it does, ALL it does is drive that wedge further in. I encourage peaceful protests and feel the black community had every right to be pissed off at the death of George Floyd. That being said, you pick up that first rock and throw it in anger at a person, or business? Expect heavy consequences to befall you. But march to your hearts content. Pound signs in your yard. Paint your car black for all I care. But damage ONE piece of property on behalf of your cause? Suffer the consequences. There are no politicians that represent me these days. Not one. It's unfortunate we can't sit down and have a real dialog about all this because the minute the subject is broached, the radical Left screams "RACIST!" And this woman who attempted to thwart my visit to Cup Foods where Floyd died? **** her. Public street in Minneapolis. |

What have I done? I vote. In every election. As for elected Republicans, most have been shitty. It's like they don't even fight for what they believe in. They seem to be in it happy to be the weak dick opposition to the left. Content as the constant losers. They don't like Trump because he is in it to win it. Every time. He has accomplished shit outside of politics in the private sector. Is he elegant and well-spoken. Hell no, but that is every developer I have known over the years. You don't build a basement, let alone a shopping mall or skyscraper, by being a *****. Contractors are crude mother****ers and won't respect you if you come across like a school principal. Besides, it's not like any of us are going to spend time with him anyways, so I don't care if I like him or not. He gets shit done. And the rest of Washington hates it because it is wrecking their honey hole. |

When you hear people complaining about Trump not being particularly ‘Presidential’ I think this would be Exhibit A. |

I am ambivalent about Trump's twitter use. It does allow him to communicate without the filter of the press, but I could do without some of the feuds from it. However, like it or not, it has been very effective for him and to Trump that is what counts. Like I said, he isn't elegant. As for "Presidential", I'm not one for fake shit, or more properly, pomp & circumstance, so I really don't care about him being presidential or not. To me, it's about getting shit done. Years ago when I started in the car business working for a friend of mine, he said something that stuck with me: I'd rather be ****ed and selling cars than doing things perfectly and not selling them. |

He also ran with some greasy sleazy people prior to becoming president. I'm confident in his ability, but not his ability to find talent. |

He loses me there too. Personally I thinks it's petty. Nobody is perfect, and a few members right here are tossing stones in their glass house. But no matter how you slice the pie or what fake news site you link a story from; Trump is far better than what we had the last 8 years, and eons better than what he's currently running against. My wish that all .gov employees would get back to work and spend all that hate and negative energy on good for our country. |

Add another to the Swamp.
I just couldn't make this stuff up myself... Unbelievable. Trump reportedly pushing new unproven coronavirus treatment that is also embraced by HUD Sec. Ben Carson and MyPillow's Mike Lindell https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-rep...015618012.html Mike Lindell has a stake in the company that produces the drug. |

I disagree Peetee...you believe it 100%. From your linked article:
All these unnamed officials and spokespersons, but you cannot provide one link of a video where these are actually said. You post yahoo! articles as facts and they are stories, from other stories, from other stories, etc... Remember the yahoo! news koi fish story?...or Coveninton Catholic? |
