The governors who won't call out the National Guard or ask for federal help are probably doing it for the.same reason they were prolonging the Covi-19 lockdown. To make Trump look bad and irritate people enough to vote him out in 2020.
There is a difference though -- because prolonging riots causes more deaths and property damage.
What constitutes malfeasance by a governor? And if it could be legally pursued, at what point could citizens engage legal representation to file suit?
Assuming citizens could file something along these lines (based on a governor's refusal to call in forces when existing peace keeping measures prove inadequate) -- could those grievously injured (by death of a family member or destruction of personal property) file a civil suit against the governor for compensation? I am wondering if the thought of personal liability might get these Democratic governors to stop playing games with other people's lives and possessions. If they presently enjoy some kind of immunity from personal suits-- could that be removed by executive order?
Just wondering here...trying to think of ways to end this horrible episode. And end it in a way that wouldn't give a mouse a cookie.
I read that in addition to passing a counterfeit $20 bill-- George Floyd apparently had two outstanding warrants for 2nd and 3rd degree murder. This wasn't on a news article -- but rather in a comment string of various people discussing him. If this were true -- it might explain why the police were treating him as a more hardened criminal. However, I am not sure how to go about checking this information out. I really don't know how how the person who was making this assertion knew about these supposed warrants.
It would be sadly ironic if all this rioting was over the death of someone who was himself suspected of causing the death of others.
All these celebrities are bailing out these rioters and It makes me wonder -- when a person put up bail for someone, do they also guarantee their behavior until their court appearance?
If not, perhaps it is time for a letter writing campaign to a sympathetic member of Congress. If these people are bailed out and go right back to rioting then I think the celebrities should be jailed for equal reaponsibility for any further acts of violence. After all, they put them back on the street. A bill to this effect might discourage this "bailing out" celebrity nonsense.
Can someone more knowledgeable than I explain the reasons why President Trump has chosen not to institute martial law?
It seems to me that cities are going goofy, the Supreme court has just violated the first amendment, and there is more than enough evidence to throw every Top Marxist Democrat in Gitmo.
The optics I presently see is a country that is going down the tubes...what is he waiting for? Presumably, he is commander in chief of the military.
I wonder if there is a lack of incentive for the rioters and arsonists to cease and desist because they assume that when they finally do decide to stop -- the federal government will step in with a hefty check to rebuild the area they destroyed.
Perhaps the time has come for someone in authority at the federal level to make a televised statement to the effect that whatever level of damage the rioters and arsonists inflict upon their communities will have to be repaired at their own expense.
If they realize they will have to pay to fix it themselves or be forced to live with it indefinitely-- they may decide to think twice before continuing.
And the federal government should not pay for cities that the inhabitants purposefully destroy themselves. If there is no policy about this-- there should be.
Are there any laws attaching additional penalties to people who cross state lines in order to riot, loot, commit arson, or bodily harm another person under the guise of political activism? If not, why not? It seems that " outsiders" who arrive to purposefully cause trouble should face additional charges.
Anger over someone's death is no excuse to loot or riot. However, it occurs to me that given the location of this event -- not all of the rioters and looters may have been native born Americans.
-
Can all the news footage of the rioting and be confiscated by the government ?
-
Maybe I watch too many procedural crime shows on television, but if there actually is software that could run still photos taken from video footage against DMV records could this be done to identify the looters and rioters?
-
If #2 isn't just a television fantasy, once these people are identified -- could this evidence be used to deport non native born citizens as undesirable aliens? And in the interests of fairness, throw native born citizens into jail for theft and damage to public property?
I don't know who this person is but the video on this Twitter account has Obama admitting he was born in Kenya and isn't a citizen. I have no idea where this was filmed or what group of people he is talking to. If this doesn't post the video see if you can go to the guy's Twitter account and see the video there. If they have this on film, why isn't Obama being arrested? I just don't understand.

It seems fairly obvious to any intelligent person that the economy cannot survive a limitless lockdown. Each passing week exacerbates the collapse.
Considering this causes real hardship for the people of the states still closed -- the actions of the Democratic governors in response to the pleading of their citizens to reopen is actually insane. And I mean that literally. In addition, their choices are demonstrably peculiar (in terms of which businesses are considered essential and have been allowed to remain open).
Of course, I KNOW this is a political ploy, as does everyone else. But they will never admit it. In fact, they CAN NOT admit it.
In that case, I have a question. Since their actions appear "insane" and their choices of necessary businesses appear "demonstrably peculiar" -- isn't there any kind of law that would enable the citizens of these states to question the sanity of their governors and have them removed on that basis?
It would seem that if there is-- a case brought questioning the govenor's sanity would force him/her to attempt to defend an indefensible position. Too much evidence exists that a total lockdown is not necessary. In addition, the politician would have to explain how he expected the people in the state to survive with no income.
I sincerely doubt anyone would want to appear in court under those circumstances and would most likely capitulate before facing a sanity inquiry.
The article linked below supposedly lists information from an unreleased White House Report. If it is real -- I would like to know how the Daily Mail obtained it. I thought the WH found and fired all the leakers.
The Daily Mail is really anti Trump and in general they seek out anything to smear our President. A lot of Trump supporters (myself included) can be found defending him daily...

Could someone please tell me how to win an argument with a Democrat who pretty much laughs at your evidence of criminality in the "Russian Hoax" because, "Nothing was done after all the fuss about Bengazi and nothing is going to happen now either."
So more or less, I guess it doesn't matter if it's criminal or not to them if they can get away with it.
That's so disheartening. I don't even know how to respond to that. Saying "this time it will be different" just gets harder laughs.
They're so arrogant and so sure their party can't be touched. Either that or I am just lousy at red-pilling people.
Tips on what to say to that would be appreciated.
Assuming Durham submits enough evidence that the whole "Russian Hoax" scandal was Obama's doing -- can that be used by the Senate to impeach 44?
I want him to be indicted and tried for treason. But I also want him impeached because he actually commuted crimes. Hannity said past presidents can be impeached.
But I also know the House would never look for a "cause". But why would they need to if Durham already has a body of evidence collected proving criminality?
So my question really is -- must the Senate only move to do that on evidence submitted by the House or could they use Dunham's evidence?
Are female Secret Service agents treated as if they were "men" in the eyes of the government? I ask this because I've been reading that Joe Biden swam in the nude making female Secret Service agents "uncomfortable".
That's harrassment in my book. Either the old goat should have been assigned male agents for swim time, or put his sorry ass in some trunks. This right here shows the guy pushed the envelope for being an exhibitionist at the very least.
Okay...so why wasn't this an issue? Truthfully, now that I think about it why should any agent male or female be forced to view his junk? Don't the Secret Service agents have basic rights?
If that's "okay" -- no wonder he got away with sniffing kids and acosting women and groping them.
If there is a culture of allowing the violation of people perceived of lesser importance it should stop.
I don't know about anyone else -- but in addition to his groping and the sniffing -- I want someone to make some noise about his disrespect for the rights of the Secret Service agents. Why should they have to look at him NUDE? They can't pay them enough for that!
I believe in the right to bear arms. I have no issue with open carry. But I wonder if it was wise for the protesters to show up with their weapons because that's being used (already) to make them appear to be crazed, violent, dangerous people who should not be armed.
I am not saying I agree with the gun control people's assessment -- I am just pointing out how this is easily being twisted to be used as a point for pro gun control.
The next time these gentlemen decide to protest -- may I suggest something more visually potent? Bring your children with you -- the younger the better -- and have them carry signs that say, "Why does the governor want me to starve? Let my daddy (or mommy) go back to work". And also, "Why is the governor denying me an education?" Invite the news -- make it a HUGE "children's protest".
I have a feeling that would be far more effective in giving the governor of your state a cartload of bad publicity and embarrassment without giving the gun control crazies ammunition. No governor would ever be able to live down the sight of pathetic little children begging for their education and for their parents right to support them.
Visually --- way more effective than guns.
It has long been a ploy of the Democrats to use "the children" . I suggest a little well aimed turnabout in this instance is fair play.
Since President Trump has been been in office, I've listened patiently while many of his supporters suggested that things are moving slowly to give people time to "wake up". There's the underlying assumption that they will.
I am beginning to think that no matter how much evidence is presented these liberals are just so brainwashed nothing anyone shows them at this point is going to make a difference.
If you read the comment section under any news article today about General Flynn, you can see that even in the face of copies of hand written notes proving the deep state were out to frame the general -- these leftists still believe in "Russia, Russia" and that Flynn lies.
It isn't just one or two people -- It's all of them. One stupid denial after another even after reading an article which presents the true facts. I can only conclude that these people are now too far gone to be "educated" as to the true sequence of events.
Since I, as an average person with no particular skills in politics can see this as an obvious state of affairs -- I wonder that others ( who are "in charge" and presumably attempting to bring criminals to justice) seem to think that given more time these people can be swayed.
At this point.-- I'd be inclined to say that if the reason nothing has been done yet is that they are waiting for population enlightenment-- they should remove that objective from consideration. If today's response to information is any indication these people will never learn. The patriots should just go ahead and do what needs to be done.
I don't know if these people are stupid or just plain stubborn. But I do know after seeing their reaction to the revelations on General Flynn -- waiting for them to "get smart" is a futile exercise.
Today seems to be my day for finding things posted on Twitter.

I pulled this video link off of someone's Twitter feed. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is the truth.
I was on the phone for several hours this evening with an old college friend. She called to tell me that her husband had passed away which, is a sad enough occurrence in itself. But it was the surrounding tale of the aftermath of his death that I wish I could somehow get to the Trump team -- but I don't know anyone in politics.
My friend is very grateful to President Trump -- for without the stimulus check -- she claims she would have been unable to have her husband's remains cremated.
He did not die of Covid-19, but rather unexpected natural medical causes which came up suddenly, progressed rapidly, and claimed his life within a matter of days.
I have never been responsible for arranging the aftermath of a death, so I have only her word on what occurred in regard to her husband.
It seems the Covid-19 made it impossible for her to access certain funds because she needed papers kept in a safety deposit box at the bank. It was inaccessable due to Covid-19. Other funds required her to produce her husband's death certificate which, apparently has not yet been issued due to a paperwork backlog. Due to short staffing -- it was not yet processed.
At the same time, the crematory demanded immediate payment before they would take care of her husband. She said she was beside herself, in tears, and had no idea how she would take care of this problem until the day's mail arrived with the stimulus check from President Trump. She said that, by God's grace the check was for the exact amount the crematory was demanding.
I listened to her relief and gratitude to the President for helping her to bury her husband. But I did think that it was rather strange that the check.matched the price of the cremation Almost as if the person running the place knew the exact amount those checks are being issued for and set his price accordingly.
I didn't say that to her. God knows she's been through enough these past few days.
But I do wonder if President Trump knows that In addition to Covid-19 making it difficult for people to live -- it's also making it difficult ( due to paperwork backlogs and closed banking facilities ) for people to care for their loved ones final needs.
I don't think she made this up because she was crying as she told me all of this -.so if.somebody knows a politician far enough up the ladder to get this news to President Trump -- please let him know that widows are having difficulty accessing their funds because of Covid-19 and the pricing of crematoriums conveniently matches the total amount of the stimulus check.
I really think the Republicans need to stay on top of this "mail in voting" the Democrats are trying to pull.
I suspect they are already setting up to steal the election. This morning my daughter received a "voter registration reminder packet" from the Democratic party in the state of Massachusetts.
We DO NOT live in that state. Whatsmore, she has been a registered voter since she turned 21 in our own state which, is a considerable distance from Massachusetts.
The question I have is how did they even learn of her, where she lived, etc.? And if they accessed this information from our state records, who gave them authorization to do so?
And wouldn't you think dems in our state would be doing their own searching for possible unregistered voters?
This stinks. Somebody in Trump's administration needs to watch this like a hawk.
I know that Obama changed a law and allowed the news services to use propaganda.
What I don't understand is why President Trump hasn't changed it back -- considering the media is always twisting his words or making up stories about him.
It would seem to me that having the media free to spred all the lies they want account for 'most of the chaos he has had to contend with during his adminsistration.
Unless there is some strategic reason I am totally missing, I can't see a reason President Trump doesn't just reverse Obama's reversal and save himself the aggravation of dealing with this constant harrassment.
Is there a reason?
Can someone explain to me why the House of Representatives suddenly seems to be more.powerful than the Senate or the Presidency? Pelosi seems to plot against our President openly with her cohorts and nothing is ever done to control her behavior.
She hangs all over Trump's every move (even during a crisis) distracting him with vague threats of another impeachment.
Is there a reason Trump can't (or won't) declare martial law so that she can be put somewhere in a cell out of the way? It must be very difficult to focus on this emergency when she is attempting to add additional pressure.
Has someone brought back JFK Jr.'s magazine?
I wonder if anyone has any connections to someone in politics that can get a definite answer to this question. There are a lot of women who sew -- and a lot of recent online tutorials about making masks.
Clearly -- none of these will work effectively because other than construction details (in terms of pattern making) -- there are no specifications for materials required.
It seems to me that if there is a true shortage and piles of women are willing to sew -- if the government would issue the proper instructions with specifications -- we could put our time to better use making something that would actually work both for our families and whatever extra we could produce to meet the demand of people who have nothing at all.
One woman on line with a mask tutorial insisted that the N-95 contains "citrus crystals" -- how and why she came to that conclusion I have no idea. But she was convinced that was the difference. I looked at one early this morning and saw a metal bar (which seemed to indicate a tighter fit (but that could be done with other methods).
Anyhow...if anybody can get somebody in politics to talk to the higher ups -- there are tons of ladies with sewing machines at home that are looking to make something if only they knew exactly what to make.
