Antifa, BLM and Black Panthers are trouble for everybody in US.
Ultimately, but the big swamp creatures behind the beginning protests are good at holding their breath and staying down in the slime.
Politics is a brutal dirty business. Corruption has been very common from the beginning.
We will get through this and thin the herd of slime dwellers.
They are replaceable, eh? What was the saying about when good men do nothing?
