Indians seem to be the worst drivers around. It’d be a shame if she had an accident.

Another one of the many benefits of H1-B visas

I understand that Mike Lee personally greeted her at the airport as she arrived from India to take a job from an American.

These limousine liberals are the P.T. Barnums of the modern era.

They know how to barker up a freak show to get the rubes to cough up their dough.

This is nothing a few well-placed drone strikes can’t resolve.

That's only allowed outside the territory of the United St-- ... Oh, that's right: CHAZ has seceded!

Omar is turning Minneapolis into Mogadishu. Sawant is turning Seattle into the slums of Calcutta. The fruits of multiculturalism on display.

I do not think these people are aware of how they appear. They are handing us everything, for free.

Why would they know they media promote them as being great. It’s one big echo chamber/circle jerk.

I noticed that, too.

The irony.......

If she’s so concerned about inequity, she should go back home and fight it there and see how far she gets.

Hypocrisy seems to be a resume enhancer for Democrats. They excel at something, at least.

Certainly President Trump understands the importance of and to make the most of prime time television. Recent events have provided another opportunity for him to address the nation during prime time.

In order to get the media to provide coverage and provide it from start to finish, the even will need to be a subject they can not resist to cover.

The subject can be an announcement on the use of the military and national guard during the current rioting. The potential for points against Trump will be too much for them not to cover.

But instead of allowing them to score points president Trump should go on offensive driving three major points across to the American public.

First as the prime time event starts you will see President trump and three pastors. President Trump will be kneeling on both knees. You will have a priest a rabbi and a pastor. One of which should be African American. They will all have hands on the President praying over him silently.

The President will then stand up and recite the pledge of allegiance before the American flag.

He will then follow with a short address containing three points to cover. Keeping the press from breaking away coverage is important so the speech must be short and concise.

The first point will be for every event an American flag is raised or honored a short period of prayer and reflection be given asking God for reconciliation and a deeper understanding of what divides our country before the flag is displayed.

The second point will be about funds (in the billions) that will be allocated toward training for police departments throughout the United States on procedures for handling situations such as George Floyd.

The third and final would be notification to the American people of the President’s plan to federalize the national guard if a peaceful solution to domestic terrorist activity can not be found.

The non violent protesters are going on pure emotion and are moved by acts that move these emotions. One of President Trumps line during the campaign was what do you have to lose. At this time many of these people are angry and do not trust any institution since they can not identify why they feel the way the do. Acts of violence by police are only justification for these feelings for them. This is a historic opportunity to shift loyalties if done correctly.

It is the fatal flaw in democracies and Republic democracies - OTOH it isn't possible to emigrate to China and join a Freedom Party(if there was one).

She fits all the Seattle qualifications - rich, non-white descent, socialist.

Seattle and King County love those qualifications - the more bizarre, exotic, socialist, rich the better for local government. Remember, this is the land where ballot boxes wash ashore just in tine to defeat any Republican that dares to run for office; this is the land of the Far Side.

She's a local goddess.

Dear Daily Mail:

It is no longer CHAZ. The new “country” is now CHOP. Please do try to keep up.

Sincerely,

Mad
