With all the delusional “power-mad” Governors ordering a socio-economic “shutdown” in their respective States, ……. I would have thought there would have been more “posting” activity on AQF.
But then, …. of course, ……. AQF “posting” is a socio-activity. 😊
-
Fear not, …….. the coronavirus “shutdown” of the US economy will eventually be proven to be far, far worse for the lives of the American people ….. than the virus itself.
“HA“, one could easily assume it was little more than an “experiment” by a political Party to find out how hard it would be to enforce dictatorial control over every citizen.
And since they shut down the total “US ECONOMY” in less than 30 days, without firing a shot, they found it was quite easy to do.
Take away their guns and their rights to living and the people will unquestionably do your bidding.

So far our small town is basically the same ! Little has changed but since I am diabetic I do wear the mask and sterilize my hands when shopping ! Of course we are in Texas with more reasonable people in office ! Some in the NE are completely nuts !
-
We also have a whole lotta' space to roam around in Texas Mart unlike the more congested areas of the USA.
I wear a mask because of my 91 and 81 year old parents that I choose to spend time with and protect.
My hubby, an international airline pilot, HAS to wear a mask and gloves for his flights - some are 10 hours in duration. He is happy to in order to protect himself/copilot as well as me and our family.
Now...try and take away our guns...thats a whole nutha' story! Right Mart!
-
Right KC !! Thats a good way to start WW lll ! You don`t mess with a Texan`s guns !! House looks like an armory now !!

Luckily the "protest" in Fort Worth was fairly peaceful today. I have a daughter that lives less than a block away from the bridge that was taken over for hours peacefully...and when some said they were going to go and tear up businesses...they had to use Flash-bangs and tear gas when they wouldn't disperse.
I'm all for peaceful protest...but vandalizing and stealing...not.
-
We have always had peaceful protest,, but the vandals that are trashing the cities are coming in from who knows where ? Evidently these people do not work,,so who is financing them !! I agree with the president,, follow the money !!
Hope all your family stays safe !! Surely Texas won`t allow what has transpired in other cities !!
-
The part I don't get is where do the rioters/vandals think the money is going to come from to "fix" what they tear up? the money is going to come from to take care of the people that have just lost their jobs because many businesses won't reopen with this double whammy form COVID19 and now this?
-
I am pretty sure they don`t give it a passing thought !! Another thought is why the actual protesters who live in these communities allowed them to trash those stores !! The left wing radicals do not live there but they do !! Like the community who lined up in front of the Target store !! Much of this could have been stopped !!
-

Most have been "feeding at the government trough" in part or in whole, all of their life ……. and they know it's their "horn-of--plenty" because their Politicians/Representatives keep telling them so ….. for only their cost of a "vote".
The "free" stuff is a way of life ….. and they will not be denied it.
-
Free stuff is whats causing it !! I saw the mother of the child that was the daughter of the person killed by that Cop ! Look at her nails.. Can`t work with those!!
-
When the rioting, burning and lawlessness gets REALLY, REALLY bad, …… which it is going to get really bad, ….. because the ones doing the looting and burning will soon be out of the things they need, and with no place to get them ……. they will go on another “looting n’ burning” rampage into the suburbs and rural areas to get what they can’t get in the burned-out cities and/or urban areas.
When that happens, the lefty liberal bleeding-heart race baiters, Democrat politicians, liberal media, etc., will have to make a decision to either …… save this Nation ……. or continue on their quest to destroy Trump.
-
or continue on their quest to destroy Trump.
Don!t think thats going to happen !

Tonight my daughters building was cordoned off and surrounded by over 20 police cars, state troopers, Swat vehicles, drones and officers on bikes. The "peaceful protestors" group had a large faction that made threats to loot/destroy the businesses and take over the bridge in Ft. Worth. The lower floor of the building is businesses (eateries and hair/nail salons) with a few first floor apartments and the next 7 floors are apts. They told everyone on first/second floors to take in all personal items from porches and leave if they have a safer place to go. My daughter lives higher than this and couldn't leave. Like last night...the protesters were going strong until 11pm (hmmm 8pm curfew?!?!?) Fortunately...so far...she is safe. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE UNJUST DEATH OF A MAN....this is maliciousness chaos.
-
The rioters have been killing the geese that have been providing them their “golden eggs” free of charge.
And as soon as the “smoke of looting” clears a wee bit, you can bet your boots that those looters and rioters will be demanding that the “racist” government entities provide them with jobs, food and monthly checks …… and new stores and businesses where they can spend their money.
-
Not to mention "defund the police" to end this "genocide."
This malicious chaos has a point:to help the people that are enabling it grab even more power. They've already proven they want it (running for president, anyone?). Now they have a coordinated army of thugs to back them. Sounds like Germany in the 1930s.
-
Sounds like Germany in the 1930s.
"Sounds like" is close, but in actuality, …….. it is/was a planned "repeat" of Kristallnacht, to wit:
Kristallnacht (German pronunciation: [kʁɪsˈtalnaχt] (listen)) or the Night of Broken Glass, also called the November Pogrom(s),[1][2] was a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The German authorities looked on without intervening.[3] The name Kristallnacht ("Crystal Night") comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings and synagogues were smashed. The pretext for the attacks was the assassination of the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath[4] by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old German-born Polish Jew living in Paris.

Good point!!

Good point!!
You get the credit for it, ……. ghopper. because if not for your comment of "Sounds like Germany" I would never have thought of it.
When I read your comment, …….. BINGO, …… I could see all that broken "storefront" glass on those city sidewalks that FoxNews has been showing.
"Ya shoot the wolves when they attack your cows and sheep, ….. DON'TJA?"
Just talking to the wolves real nice like don't seem to work. ::) ::)
-
If I were a business owner,, and the looters could get past my shotgun,, they can have it ! But I can assure you they would not like going out as much as coming in !
-
Sounds like a Texas talking....

The USA is in really gawd awful shape right now, thanks to the Democrats, the Rhinos, the liberal Media and their loyal lemmings that do as they are told.
The Democrats, etc., spent 3 ½ years and tens of million$ to impeach Trump and they failed miserably.
The Democrats etc., then hyped a yearly “flu season” virus to badmouth and defame Trump, by claiming it was dastardly deadly “Coronavirus Pandemic” that will kill at least 3 million Americans if the country isn’t “locked down” and people forced to remain in their homes ….. but that also failed miserably except for the 80,000 senior citizen deaths which should have never happened.
The latest efforts of the Democrats, etc., to badmouth and defame Trump, is their support of the rioters, looter, protestors and Police killers ….. in hope it will “throw” the November election to them.
Ya can't appease a pack of viscous wolves by bowing down in front of them and asking for forgiveness.
But I’m here to tell you if they (Congress, governors, mayors and police) don’t put a stop to the current anarchy, …… there will surely be blood running in the streets on Election Day in November 2020.

lol !! De-fund the police ?? Who ya gonna call,,,Ghost Busters ?? I can assure you its not all us hillbillies in the country that needs them !! Its the idiots in the metro areas !! We can take care of our own !!

The USA is in really gawd awful shape right now, but all of that will be cleared up just as soon as they defund all police departments in the US.
Senator Tom Cotton (R) Arkansas, on the New York Times decision to publish a recent op-ed of his, to wit:
“They still haven’t identified any facts that are wrong in the op-ed, they haven’t identified what was so rushed about this process,” he said. “They’ve only prostrated themselves in front of their young children who are acting like children.”
“It cannot be the case that thousands of Americans can exercise their First Amendment right on the street, while dozens of Americans can’t exercise their First Amendment rights in churches,” he said. “It cannot be the case that you can be arrested for opening a business but not for looting one.”
But the sad fact is, ....... IT IS THE CASE, ……. both are true.

Totally agree Cogar & Ghopper !! While in my opinion,, the cop did kill G. Floyd and from what I saw he knew what he was doing !! But the protesters are accomplishing nothing !! They should have run the looters off !! After all it is their neighborhood !! They are the ones that its hurting !!
