Two ways we can slow the spread of this pandemic and end shut downs is by social distancing and wearing masks and yet Trump inexplicably won’t lead.
Why do we have monuments to traitors?
Just last week Trump called for a Fox reporter to be fired. He is one of the leading proponents of cancel culture.
Trump repeatedly has people thrown out of his rallies. The latest was a reporter who posted on social media attendees at a rally weren’t social distancing and few were wearing masks. I personally know one photographer who was embedded with my unit in Iraq who thrown out for taking photos of people being thrown out. Not to mention Trump’s “I’d like to punch him in the face” talk about peaceful protestors. Or Trump’s Lafayette Square fiasco which saw the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs apologize for his involvement stating it was wrong.
It’s conservative militia and conservatives like Cliven Bundy that need their guns to stand up to oppression by the greatest country the world has ever known.
It’s tragic two police officers were shot and totally wrong to block the entrance to ERs. But, did the Breona Taylor or George Floyd deaths leave you feeling frustrated or disgusted? What about the 194K and climbing US Covid deaths knowing Trump deliberately mislead the country?
Bold 2. I believe in opening fully with no masks or social distancing. A huge percentage of deaths are from the elderly and/or people with underlying health conditions. Very few healthy people with no comorbitities are actually dying from just Covid. That 194,000 number may very well be inflated also, based on how some Covid deaths are reported. A nurse I know told me to my face that they have seen first hand deaths not related to Covid, but where the patient tested positive for Covid and it was marked as a Covid death. We need to keep the at risk part of the population safe while letting the rest of the people get back to normal. This was blown way out of proportion for political reasons. That's my opinion.
Unbolded. I cannot comment as I do not know enough about those situations.
Bold 3. Can you please explain?
Bold 4. From what I have read and listened to on the Breona Taylor case, it appears that everything was legal and legit. Shots were fired from inside at the cops through the closed door first and they returned fire accidentally hitting Breona. I also believe that it has been proven that she was receiving drug packages at her apartment, but don't quote me on that. So no, no outrage on that one. Whoever shot at the cops and caused them to return fire is who the outrage should be directed at. Ben Shapiro had a really good segment talking about this case.
George Floyd. Sort of. Two rookie cops I believe and another keeping the crowd back. Chauvin is just a piece of s@!t who should have been fired long ago. Floyd is also a piece of s!@t criminal who should have been in jail. Floyd was involved in drug abuse, theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery as well as entering a woman’s home and pointing a gun at her stomach while looking for drugs and money. So, no, not nearly as much outrage on that one. Also watching the whole video shows the cops were decent at the beginning and that Floyd was acting kinda crazy and was uncooperative, plus a screaming mob of lunatics doesn't help you to think clearly. That's a lot different than two innocent cops doing nothing wrong almost being executed. I would like to know where the outrage is over all the black on black killings is? Chicago strictest gun laws? That is the real danger for the black community. 90% of all black murders are by other blacks. We need to fix that.
Neither of those cases has any proof that race was a motivating factor.
Bold 4. I get what Trump was trying to do and I am personally ok with it. It just doesn't bother me. I have read up on the steps that they have taken since January and I believe Trump and his admin have done a very good job. This was an unprecedented situation. My opinion. Not looking to argue about it. Again, not a huge Trump supporter. I read what I could find from different sources and believe they did a good job.
