    I wholeheartedly agree with this. There are so many more issues we need to deal with than Trump vs Biden or Antifa vs white supremacy (With the latter being less of an issue but a media circus). We are all Americans and from my experiences with friends, coworkers. etc., we all get along and have the same human values as anyone of any race or culture. Can’t we all is the free and help each other? Why is this philosophy so damn complicated.

    Still under Democrat mayors and governors now.
    Why won't Wheeler clean it up?
    Quite simple really.

    Does anyone here know why Wheeler has turned down Trump's offer of help again?
    Makes him kinda complicit in all this one must conclude.

    So why does Wheeler still refuse Trump's offer of help?

    Because it didn't help the first time, and those troops insight more violence than they present.

    They need the riots to continue for optics. There's an election coming up. Too bad it's backfiring on them. Even Don Lemon is pleading to stop because it's hurting in the polls...lol.

    First it was Black Lives Matter and now it's morphed into overthrow the system. Does that make Wheeler guilty of sedition?

    I was responding to your post which only commented on Biden.

    As for Wheeler, I don’t follow him so I don’t know what he did. But if you are referring to the usage of unidentifiable fed police, that was borderline unconstitutional and caused more violence.

    Does anyone else find it weird that Trump is using (successfully, IMO) the idea that this is what America will look like under Biden, despite the fact that this is happening under his Presidency?

    No, sadly, stoking white fear works...has for a long time in this country. Trump knows this and it's all he has so he's leaning full bore into it.

    I don't think it will work to the extent that he'll win the election, but it may be enough for the GOP to keep hold of the Senate.

    The mayor of Portland needs to go
    This is agreed upon by all sides
    Nobody likes him

    He needed to protect the downtown businesses but he didn’t

    I’m for Elon advancing the human race
    And against people trying to stop technological advances because of political agendas
    Like over taxing people because their government is misappropriating funds and not solving any local problems

    I was just going to point that out. This isn't something new for Biden.

    We also need to remember that Biden isn't the President. Trump is and in the words of Gen. John Mattis who "No president has divided us more.."

    When the Republican is in trouble, they always, always, ALWAYS go to Tactic #1:

    Scare Whitey.​

    Because it never fails.

    LOOK! A MEXICAN!
    WHERE? WHERE? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    LOOK! A BLACK!
    GRAB THE KIDS!    ​

    Because people like you are up in here trolling and trying to own the libs.

    You are right it's not complicated the question is why do people like you argue with no facts and logic.
