I thought Palestine was already free. They have a functioning government. Functional infrastructure. An economy that appears to be based on the capitalist model. What more do they want?

They want death to Jews.

The first word on that flag is wrong. It DOES start with an "F" however.

I’m just trying to wrap my head around a white dude / BLM / anti-Israely holding a US distress flag with the words free Palestine spray painted on it . There’s a lot going on in that one picture .

All and oh the Jews to go some place else .

Blowout: The U.S. Economy Added 4.8 Million Jobs in June, Unemployment Fell to 11.1%

The U.S. economy added 4.8 million jobs in June and the unemployment rate fell to 11.1 percent, both better than expected.

The economy has added around 7.3 million jobs in the past two months. The increase in the ranks of employed workers shows that companies ramped up hiring as the economy reopened and consumers came back to stores, restaurants, and other businesses that had been shuttered in March and April.

Yup and they are calling for another shut down.

Feds arrest ‘ringleader’ in attack on Andrew Jackson statue by White House

Jason Charter was arrested at his residence Thursday morning, sources say

Federal law enforcement officials on Thursday arrested a man in Washington they call a “ringleader” in the recent attempt to destroy the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square near the White House.

Law enforcement sources tell Fox News that Jason Charter was arrested at his residence Thursday morning, without incident, and charged with destruction of federal property. He was arrested by the FBI and U.S. Park Police as part of a joint task force.

These sources add that Charter has connections to Antifa and was in a leadership role on the night of June 22 when a large group of protesters tried to pull down the statue.

“They were very organized,” a federal law enforcement official said. “Charter was on top of the statue and directing people ... they had acid, chisels, straps and a human chain preventing police from getting to the statue.”

The FBI's criminal complaint against Charter attaches screengrabs of local news videos and accuses him of also being involved in the destruction of the Albert Pike Historical Statue in Washington this month.

Citing local news video, the FBI alleges that Charter is seen “standing over the toppled Pike Statue, pouring an unknown liquid onto the statue.”

The complaint said: “He is then observed waving others away from the statue, and squatting down behind the statue where his hands are not visible. Seconds later, the statue catches fire. Charter is seen standing over the flames as it burns.”

Depends on how unfavorable the alternative is.

I dont subscribe to the "lesser of two evils" rationale. I just can't understand anybody voting for a person that they view unfavorably. Theres plenty of 3rd-party options for anybody that views the candidates from the garbage parties as unfavorable.

One choice is a guy I don't like with tolerable policies. The other is a guy who is going to drive us off a cliff. There was a point a few months back where I had decided I was just going to sit out the next election, but the breakneck speed that the move to the left has taken just can't be ignored. They're trying to prop up a fossil and then they'll run amok with crap like Elizabeth Warren running economic policy and regulation like we've never seen.

If you are a legit Moderate democrat or Independent, the thought of a Biden presidency has to be very unappealing.

Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Susan Rice, and several other far left democrats will surely have a big say in the policies adopted in a Biden presidency.

Supreme Court won't speed Texas vote-by-mail case

The Supreme Court said Thursday that it won’t speed a case challenging Texas’ restrictions on mail-in voting, leaving in place lower court rulings that said fear of contracting the coronavirus isn’t a valid reason under state law.

The high court had previously refused to lift those lower court rulings, and now it says it won’t speed an appeal, either.

Democrats, Hispanic groups and voting-rights activists had pushed to allow universal mail voting, saying it won’t be safe to run an election with the pandemic still raging.

You just laid out the DNCs plan for the next 4 years and beyond . Trump ( right now ) like it or not is the only obstacle. clear him out and it will be a hard turn to the left .

Activists announce Black National Convention: 'Rebellion has provided the conditions for change'

NEW YORK — Spurred by broad public support for the Black Lives Matter movement, thousands of Black activists from across the U.S. will hold a virtual convention in August to produce a new political agenda that seeks to build on the success of the protests that followed George Floyd’s death.

The 2020 Black National Convention will take place Aug. 28 via a live broadcast. It will feature conversations, performances and other events designed to develop a set of demands ahead of the November general election, according to a Wednesday announcement shared first with The Associated Press.

The convention is being organized by the Electoral Justice Project of the Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 150 organizations. In 2016, the coalition released its “Vision for Black Lives” platform, which called for public divestment from mass incarceration and for adoption of policies that can improve conditions in Black America.

“What this convention will do is create a Black liberation agenda that is not a duplication of the Vision for Black Lives, but really is rooted as a set of demands for progress,” said Jessica Byrd, who leads the Electoral Justice Project.

At the end of the convention, participants will ratify a revised platform that will serve as a set of demands for the first 100 days of a new presidential administration, Byrd said. Participants also will have access to model state and local legislation.

Warren and her campaign were the absolute worst about that. Then turned around and took Super PAC money.

Or elect someone who is actual "conservative" instead of pretending to be and you strengthen the fight against the turn to the left.

Having bad conservatives in charge just makes the turn easier as they are already half way there and have proven they dont care.

Good idea in theory, but the reality is that there's a Presidential election in 4 months. Got to play with the cards that have been dealt.

So many worthless white losers have not been collectively seen together since Alabama's last national championship celebrations.

We are too deep in the quicksand for that right now . I believe 2016 and Hills was supposed to be the gradual curbing to the left more but Trump derailed that . Now it’s a hard turn . This election will come down to chaos and Elizabeth Warren like policies with more central control of private industry and higher taxes , verses jobs and economy before November . We either pick one or just sit back , if you are able to be policy proof ( ish ) in your lifestyle and watch what happens next .

Like I said, you are actively arguing for the half turn already. This is the thinking that got us here. I have been saying it for a years to get behind who you actually believe.

And we'll continue on the path towards the cliff because many people vote for the lesser of two evils rather than voting their conscience. Honestly, at this point it might be best to go ahead and jump off the cliff so we can have a reset.

And voting is just half the issue, we have a government that is the largest employer and largest land owner in the country.

How can real change to rid corruption, and inefficiency, and ineffectiveness be implemented, let alone considered, when the machine is too big to be toppled, just in government workers alone the principle of having a leaner more efficient government means unemployment for so many......

There might be little hope unfortunately.

Always thought the only good type of"politician" (should be public servant, volunteer, duty bound citizen) was to have either someone so wealthy they couldn't be bought or bribed or coerced, or, someone who like a monk has no value in money what so ever. Problem is, these people don't want to be in D.C. and worse, they would never get off the ground to approach getting elected.

But gathering for riots is A-OK. Perfectly safe.

Politicians are so transparent.

Politicians are so transparently fake, phony, insincere, and full of it .

How anyone can look at a Pelosi or Warren or almost any of them and not see it is amazing.
