Keep repeating.


I'm sure the looters were mostly Trump voters.

What an odd statement.

Do you have any backup?

Members of Black Lives Matter held a solidarity rally on Monday night with the more than 100 individuals who were arrested after a night of looting and unrest in Chicago.

The rally was held at the South Loop police station where organizers say those individuals are currently being held in custody.

“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats,” Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, said. “That makes sure that person has clothes.”

Black Lives Matter Chicago organized the rally after overnight unrest throughout the city, with police saying that more than 100 individuals were taken into custody for a variety of offenses, including looting.

“That is reparations,” Atkins said. “Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.”

"Everything wrong with America is manifested in Trump. The hunger for power, the vile derision of people who don’t look like you, the cruelty, the privilege, the gleeful ignorance, and mendacious narcissism. Our revulsion at Trump is causing Americans to ask: How did we get to this place? And how do we get out? That will take time and hard work by well-intentioned people from every corner of American society."

And instead of asking "how did we get here" and "how do we get out" masses of people instead ask "where's mine" and "what can I take" we get this sort of action in the America that Trump and the Republicans have created.

You mean looting of this sort is a brand new phenomenon because of Trump and how he has changed America?

I think that's about as ahistorical a view as possible, and one that is transparently self-dealing. It's an attitude that will turn off millions of people who are otherwise disposed to vote for change, but who are nauseated by thugs looting and trendy lefties justifying it with BS.

Looters smash the windows and doors of Ronald McDonald House with all the sick children and their families inside.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

Biden was the architect of mass incarceration. Harris carried out the ideas behind and the practicalities of Biden's incarceration bill (and, for the record, Bernie Sanders signed it). She brags about it
.
So, if you want a "law and order" ticket, it seems to me that Biden and Harris would be a good choice.
