irrelevent.

If trump loses in 2020, you won't see conservatives in the streets screaming and sobbing and needing support groups installed on campuses. We will shrug it off and get back to work. We won't try to abolish a central part of what makes America great (the electoral college)

They also won't take to the streets and burn cars, trash businesses or block traffic on crowded highways. This is the role for retentive wimps and they excel at it for they are pampered and spoiled children. A winner in life would never lower themselves to such thievery and barbaric behavior.

Part of what America greats is our ability to question anything, including the Electoral College. Nothing wrong with questioning something, or proposing something better.

Whether that be a policy, a law, the Electoral College, or whatever... The free and open discussion about these things is what makes America great.

free and open discussion eh?

Is that what we saw in 2016?

What I saw was demands that it be removed because it wasn't fair.
I saw sour grapes

Breaking..... Supreme Court rebukes Trump administration, upholds DACA protections. Thank goodness.

5-4 decision.... John Roberts was the swing vote.

The daca law is deeply flawed and should not be upheld by the SCOTUS. However, I don’t agree with deporting undocumented people who are honest hard working people. I believe we need sweeping immigration reform, including a path to citizenship for those that have lived and worked here for years while being law abiding citizens. I also agree we need to secure our borders. We should know who’s coming into this country. It’s not an unreasonable request for us to identify every person crossing the border into the US. Only then, can we keep out the criminals and allow the law abiding people that seek a better life to enter.

I believe we should welcome anyone who wants a better life while also blocking drug dealers and violent criminals. Also, Mexico needs to get their house in order and do their jobs to bring some law and order to their side of the border.

I couldn't agree more. Good post Mict085
 
I find it hilarious that there are supposedly going to be protesters at the Trump Rally.
Let's all go gather in a group to protest the event that we don't think should happen because it isn't safe to gather in groups!

When you speak of people who base their life's actions solely on a narrative expect hilarity. Expect a lot of it.
 
Any predictions on the Trump rally in Tulsa? Going to go without a hitch? Is there going to be big protests? Any violence? Looting?

Will it cause a problem with Covid-19 cases or is that being overblown?
 
I doubt there will be protesters because of the weather. Looks to be pretty rainy. I think it will go without a hitch.

I never heard if Trump and Pence took Stitt up on his offer for a tour of Greenwood. If he does, things could get interesting
 
At the end of the video they were saying that he was homeless and the group that he attacked had been feeding him or something

I think it'll be fine. I think law enforcement won't let things get out of hand, b/c it involves a Presidential rally. Meaning, it's not some unrelated protest.

Oklahomans generally behave themselves when compared to other states.

I also don't think we'll have a huge COVID effect either. Heck, decent chance a pretty big percent of those attending have already had it, or have it now.
 
BLM is a scam that has raised millions of dollars for white liberals. None of that money will go to help any black lives.

Get arrested for going to church, not wearing a mask, running alone on the beach. Yet, statues are toppled, property is destroyed, people are attacked and beaten, total anarchy in democrat controlled areas while the “authorities” do nothing.

Meanwhile, poor people will pay the consequences while the rich white liberals sit in their mansions. This is not about racism. It’s about anarchy and an attempt to win the election and consolidate their power and wealth.
 
I'm no Trump fan. Let's get that out of the way.

But I was in Kansas City in 2016 for the Big 12 Tournament. It was the night Buddy hit the shot to beat WVU....if not but for a tenth of a second.

ANYHOW, Trump is in town to have a rally at an old movie theater downtown. His supporters are lined up on one side of the street. Generally old white men, they were just hanging out waiting to be let in. On the other side of the street were those protesting Trump's presence. They were some of the roughest, meanest looking people I've ever seen in my life. They were there to cause trouble and to instigate, and they were successful on both counts. I went down there to look around and I got out of there real quick.

The headline in the paper the next day was somewhere along the lines of "Trump Supporters Clash with Protesters". God, that ticked me off.

I know that's just one instance, but it's a microcosm of what the media has done to this country's mindset. I saw what was happening with my own two eyes, but the millions across the country who read the story through the AP wire were painted a very different picture.

I'm curious what comes out of Tulsa tonight. I'm worried about the spike in cases that will most likely come from the attendees.

They are a political organization. Their leaders came out and openly said their goal is to get trump out of office. Their website clearly states their purpose and it is to bring about a Marxist America

I did see that the leaders claim to be Marxist. How that doesn’t alarm everyone escapes me. Marxism and communism have never lead to prosperity for the working class. It only leads to dictatorship and brutal suppression of anyone that disagrees. Communist regimes all devolve into murdering their own citizens to consolidate power of a few. That doesn’t bode well for any society.
 
So did anyone watch the rally?
My guide showed it was on abc. So I turned to it and they had it playing but he was muted and they had liberals commenting on it.

No thanks
 
I watched some of it. Didn't really say anything of much substance. Spent like 5 minutes talking about why he struggled so much to walk down the ramp at West Point. The explanation was probably more cringeworthy than the incident itself.
