    As far as I can tell only a handful of Democrats have “endorsed” the protests. In fact Biden called them antisemitic.

    Good to know that you are against protected 1A speech. Might as well pack your bags and leave.

    The Ds are too busy forcing K-12 schools to teach CRT and defunding police departments.


    Just another example of the Rs forcing MSM et al to respond to their empty political rhetoric.

    I don't have a problem with people protesting anything they want in this country, as long as they aren't inflicting violence or threatening others. Protesting any cause isn't any worse than allowing people from hate groups of any kind to march and rally for support of their own hate group, whether it's White Supremacist groups, Anti-LGBQT, KKK, or anyone else that hates on others. You can't pick and choose which hate group is better, or which hate group you approve of if you say you don't tolerate hate. The same goes for protests. I don't get out and protest anything, but to each their own. When a protester becomes violent though, or if they force their way past blockades, then I have no problem with them being arrested. Violence should never be tolerated.

    Speech that incites violence is not 1A protected speech ... for those keeping track at home.

    Like I said, I think people inciting violence towards others should be arrested. That's why politicians and law enforcement shouldn't be defending or ignoring anyone who violently attacks or makes threats towards others. You can't cherry pick certain ones because you agree with them.

    We know that the Klan and Nazi groups have been allowed to have rallies under free speech. There is a fuzzy line exactly when speech goes to inclement of violence.

    I agree. The line seems fuzzy. It seems like politicians pick and choose which hate groups they condemn. Greg Abbott for instance said "Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled." That's fine with me, but I don't remember him being that vocal about White Supremacist hate groups.

    I doubt this revelation does anything but endear her to Trump and his disgusting, cowardly, elephant murdering spawn.

    Trump advisors are considering plans to dramatically revamp the Fed, WSJ report says


    Former President Donald Trump’s political operatives are putting together a plan that would give him unprecedented influence over the Federal Reserve, including a provision that could make him an “acting” central bank board member, according to a
    report from The Wall Street Journal.

    That plan, which the Journal report described as highly secretive, is part of a 10-page document that suggests Trump — if elected — would be consulted on interest rate decisions. In addition, the Treasury Department would be used as an added check and balance to oversee the Fed’s bond-buying activities.


    Along with those proposals, the draft contends that Trump could remove current Fed Chair Jerome Powell from office and require that Fed policy be aligned with the administration’s goals. While in office, Trump harshly criticized Powell and his fellow central bankers as they were raising interest rates and reportedly considered ousting him.

    Trump campaign officials told the Journal that the draft proposals shouldn’t be considered “official.”

    It’s unclear what authority the president would have to take such bold steps on a Fed that traditionally has sought to insulate its activities from outside political pressure.

    A Fed spokesperson declined to comment on the report.

    Let the guy who bankrupted a casino influence decisions made by the federal reserve...tell me that's gonna work out just fine.

    Trump hates dogs, and very important people are saying that one of his favorite pastimes is kicking stray puppies.

    That's insanity! Sure, make the fraud and white collar criminal in a position to make decisions for banks, when he has hundreds of personal businesses and offshore accounts and LLCs around the world, and most banks won't even fund him anymore because of his bankruptcies and fraud.

    It doesn't matter who the candidate is. There is a large set of people that choose party ticket. In extreme cases like Trump candidacy, the only way they can justify is making Biden even bigger evil. And that is not possible. So they have to resort to lies and exaggerations.

    In this process, they look like fools but I guess they have trust on partisan blinders of people and so they don't care.

    Is this real? I'm not on Twitter, so I can't verify it. If so, that is one of the most disgusting remarks I've heard yet from a MAGA guy.
