    Excellent!  I listen to Biden and read things like this and think, How is it possible Trump is gaining on him again?  I can't imagine that.

    No one who supports Trump cares, especially about words. That much is clear after 4 years. Biden needs to find a way to get out in the public and campaign. Trump support is everywhere in public.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I bet you one will not see that video clip on Fox News. I've watched some FN and they're really portraying this entire country is being torn down by peaceful protesters. It's not going to help with Trumps visit to Kenosha on Tuesday, seems like he's more likely to insite even more violence.

    Well, true, it helps if you can read well and think critically.   I get the feeling that doesn't figure in much to many of his fans.

    Another killing last night. Appears to be a Trump supporter this time. Not much on details yet but this is going to get crazy fast if this keeps up. 
    Looks like they just walked up and shot the dude...No fighting, just “Hey, there is a Trumper” and bang bang.  And then a group of deplorable asshats bragged about it in another video later....deplorable

    The video of them bragging about it and celebrating is disgusting. Shooter is apparently Antifa. I’m so sick of both sides, honestly.

    I hear ya, all I see out there are idiots and agitators.  “A basket full of deplorables” if you will.
    And you forgot to put “antifa” in quotes, because there is really nothing anti-fascism about them that I’ve seen.

    There was a pro-Trump rally here yesterday (they were in cars) and someone shot at them.

    How stupid do you have to be to not realize that a bullet says shit. “I’ll just shoot someone to make my point. That’ll learn ‘em!” - no matter who pulls the trigger. 

    People ALL OVER need to grow the fuck up. Progression through regression doesn’t seem to be working.

    It’s not really surprising when you have leaders of the groups promoting and encouraging the violence.

    Leadership starts at the top. Let's vote for someone who can lead and quit blaming one side for everything.

    Agreed, though sadly I have yet to see it.

    Any recommendations?  I haven’t seen any politicians that are innocent in that spectrum.

    Where did I say that he was?  But he and every other politician “blame one side for everything” just like every other partisan politician.

    So Obama was to blame for the violence during his presidency?  I’m assuming that you are saying that the social unrest is fully caused by the president?  Will all of this violence stop once Biden is elected?

    Politics is not about leading, it is about pandering. Take our likely future leader, he held his breath for 3 months about what was going on in areas around the country and just came out saying something about it. Why? Because it was a strategic move that was seen to benefit him due to recent polling data. I don't trust either side and expecting anyone to bridge the gap between the overly political in this country is nothing more than a pipe dream. From an outsiders prospective, blaming the other side is all I ever see.
