Beyond defunding the police: Democratic leaders condone crime
The Washington Examiner ^ | July 15, 2020 | Anna Giaritelli

Democrats are moving a step beyond national debate over defunding the police, questioning whether crime is a bad thing at all. During the past month, three leading Democrats have all issued statements blessing criminal acts.

As some Seattle residents illegally seized several city blocks in June and christened the area the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, the Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan did not initially intervene. Instead, Durkan said CHAZ was “patriotic” and that it could turn into “a summer of love.”

“Burning, rioting, and looting are criminal acts and should never be justified or excused,” said Heritage Foundation President Kay James. “It is an absolute scandal that political and corporate elites would not only excuse this behavior, but cheerlead the destruction of communities, the ransacking of local family businesses, and the skyrocketing rates of violence against the most vulnerable citizens. We must ... expose the powerful people who are providing aid and comfort to the domestic enemies of our American republic.”

In early July, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked about the destruction of statues nationwide when a reporter pressed her on one such toppling in Baltimore.

“Shouldn’t that be done by a commission or the City Council, not a mob in the middle of the night throwing it into the harbor?” the reporter asked.

"People will do what they do,” Pelosi said.

That’s what he says. But it never works out like they say.

“Never” is rather a broad brush.

The CCP is the master, Soros is the slave. China tries not to fight directly, rather uses enemy’s weakness against it.

China has penetrated almost every aspect of America from business to the military. China has the method, means and knowhow and experience to fund, organize, and distribute revolutionary resources - things people etc.

Soros is an ideological mirage. He gains nothing. China gains a weakened enemy, and possibly control of the Presidency.

We have family members at severe odds with one another. This is a terrible time in our country. We are more divided than ever. (UN)Civil War seems inevitable. I fear for the future of our country.

I have more optimism than ever before.

Trump is a genius, is sacrificing everything for this country, and so much is going on under the radar that we will all be very surprised. Well, many of us.

The Demsheviks have a clue and that is why they are taking off their masks, pulling out all the stops, and going hog wild bats*** crazy. There is no chance they will win the election, stealing via mail in ballots is the only way and that is not going to happen. The Trump admin. has been working on cleaning up the fraud since early 2017, and there are methods in the works to ensure that the election will be clean.

It’s amazing what he’s accomplished in 3 1/2 years with non-stop attacks by Demsheviks, the media, and rotten judges, and now demshevik mayors, the Scamdemic and everything else.

Right after the election it’s going to be fun, and likely before that as well.

And Trump’s EO about the CCP today (or was it yesterday?) is great. Who knows how many Americans entities/people and politicians are going to be “touched” by this. And the huge dam may break, nonstop flooding, already 38 million people evacuated, and yesterday earthquakes. A lot is in flux.

“The world is going crazy because the dimrats have unleashed their supporters with no consequences for their actions.”

Don’t know about that. My state has them locked up in jail awaiting trial or serving time in state prison.
