I hate when Trump uses the Stock Market level as an indicator of the effectiveness of his policies. It's so dumb to do that.

Yep, I posted this fact back in August:

"Stock Market - The stock market has hit an all-time high in 30 of the last 54 months"

Want to know why these players are "taking a knee?"
Look up Lyndo Jones
Unarmed. Shot by cops while sitting in his own car trying to shut off the alarm. Given an unwarranted cavity search and shot again.
Placed under arrest with no criminal charges
Denied counsel. Interrogated without counsel.
Held for days, then released, no charges.
Settlement ought to put his kids through college.

Reversing the ban on importing African elephant trophies - why? So Jr could bring dead animal pieces home? Or because Obama implemented it?

Award-winning German journalist Birgit Kelle was banned by Facebook after a comment on the newly veiled Barbie doll. Now she sues the popular social media site.
Award-winning German journalist Birgit Kelle told her story in the German newspaper Die Welt on Wednesday. After the launch of a new Barbie doll with hijab, she wrote a sarcastic comment on her wall, that Ken might flog or stone Barbie if she does not wear the hijab.

BLM is a racist, marxist group with a goal of dividing Americans. The police are not out hunting black men for sport as Kapernick and his communist girl friend claim.

The nation watched a 6'+ 300lb criminal strong-arm a 120lb 5' 5" old man on TV. BLM and the media chose to believe his accomplice over the police and physical evidence so they could attack our civil society.

My take:

1) The police are abusive.

2) African Americans commit more violent crime per capita.

3) Police abuse happens to Caucasians, Mexicans, anyone who lives in poverty.

4) Black police don't abuse black people because they are racist.

If BLM admitted abuse is due to police culture, not "systemic racism" we'd have a chance to solve the problem.

Illustration: I had a white friend who was beaten by two white police so badly he was hospitalized. He won a huge civil settlement. Police were never charged with a crime.

Probably. I hate trophy hunting.

Probably. I hate trophy hunting.

Well we agree on that!
I have no problem with people hunting if they're going to eat what they kill or even if there is a problem with some species overpopulation harmfully overrunning a habitat. Trophy hunting to me is a meaningless taking of a life. And nasty to decorate with dead stuff on your walls.

I don't think the BLM had anything to do with the case I mentioned. There was fault not only with the officers, but continuing with the department and local justice system. Nobody should be shot twice, cavity searched, then held without charges, shackled to an ICU bed and kept from seeing family or counsel for days for trying to shut off the car alarm in their own car. Even if the officers made a mistake and thought he was stealing the car, no excuse for the rest. That was just bad all around and it isn't an isolated incident.

Take a knee is a BLM protest.

“It’s not to cause hate or animosity,” Karen Fonseca told the Chronicle. “It’s just our freedom of speech and we’re exercising it." Right.. no hate or animosity, just F__K Trump Voters.

Don't they still have free speech in Texas?

The only problem would be the F word and overly trying to insight road rage

 

[enlytend]

If drivers can be responsible adults and control their temper, they won't commit a road rage incident. Reacting to stuff like that is a choice.

That said I'd worry about the safety of the driver and passengers, all things considered.
