A remarkable analysis of the state of affairs. Some will not like it.

It's legal where they did it.  It shows politicians that America still has an armed citizenry who will protect the country's liberties if they don't.

Yup, If I was a politician I'd be quaking in my boots ...

Slobo...I didn't say that...but only your contorted mind would think that. As far as slippery slopes...you have shown over many times you have already slipped down that slope and now just post stupity to get attention. Very much like little Johnny in school acting like a clown to get attention.

And you et al are here on a lofty goal of enlightening the unwashed masses and the deplorables?

If that’s how you read you haven’t understood much Alan.

I was expecting you to mostly agree with what is written here.

But that would mean acknowledging that your god isn’t any better...  ;D And that he is not working for you but for his rich pals.

Regards,
Bernard

The minutemen in the current crisis are the doctors, nurses and delivery drivers, not those goons in Michigan.

A strong light could help. But how much does Trump know about the white balance?

Well he was a TV personality in front of lights and cameras for years, so probably more then average.

Here's one of those things that make you think of the old cliche, when it comes to American politics,

"You just can't make this shit shit up."

It turns out that Tara Reade, the woman who accused Biden of sexually assaulting her, had a father who was a sportswriter back in Wisconsin, who once wrote a novel. The novel, which was written several years after her alleged encounter with Biden, can still be purchased on Amazon.

Here's a sentence from it, part of a sex scene:

"As soon as he closed and locked the door he put his hands up her skirt grabbed her buttocks slid his hands under her panties spread her cheeks and rammed his fingers into her…"

That ring any bells?

Another witness, nice.   ;)

Sorry John, but Biden is handling this poorly; the Dems, media and Hollywood are starting to break ranks.  He is going to have to release his records at the University for this to be over now.   

And although I do not believe her, albeit more now then before, I insist on holding my opponents to the same ridiculously high standards he held Republicans to, especially since this case has leaps and bounds more corroboration then Blasey Fords' did. 

Now, if Biden releases a written statement saying he was wrong with Kavanaugh and Kavanaugh should be considered totally innocent, free of guilt, this would all stop on the Republican side.  On the Democratic side, probably not now, but Republicans would let him off if he did this.  I'm not holding my breath though.

Yawn. 

It really amazes me that all the people at the Atlantic were calling for the same policies Trump put in place before he ran, but now they are ignoring that to hit Trump.  LOL

Why not carry semi-automatic weapons to a public protest? Because it's stupid, ignorant, dangerous, buffoonish, brainless, foolish, simpleminded and a deliberate provocation that could lead to a tragedy. What's why.

Its been happening for quite a long time.  How many "tragedy's" has it caused?  Rights need to exercised once in a while.

Covidiots that take guns to a peaceful rally don't deserve better. That's just utterly stupid.

Perhaps the guns keep the rally peaceful.  Ever consider that?

They look well protected against the virus; ready to shoot it when it comes around the corner-
Shooting is a great general solution to a lot of problems... as we can see in many movies.

More and more people starting to see what this is about, as I said many pages ago - fascism rising:

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/ny-times-msnbc-journalist-warns-fascism-could-come-to-us-if-coronavirus-shutdowns-wreck-economy

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/29/elon-musk-slams-coronavirus-shelter-in-place-orders-as-fascist.html?fbclid=IwAR176ySYzNY0SyNmF2-r9OzBf1LbxDvRzNYDT2RLaZD7DGBXV1MV6YYpPF4

The combination of a dangerous leader as Trump feeding his audience with hateful messages in a time with a very bad economy is not a very nice combination indeed.
Certainly not in a country with more weapons than people
Then when you see its enormous military strength it is clear the whole world has a problem.

Might be interesting to conduct an experiment whereby an African-American male walks around town with an AR-15 on his shoulder exercising his rights, see what happens.

Those idiots? Keep the rally peaceful?  Not a chance. They’re more a danger to themselves and the public than a safety factor.

Another anti-Trump screed from an anti-Trump magazine.

You can see it through any lens you choose, Alan, but the title of the article is “We are living in a failed state”.

Consider that for a moment before you blindly rush to defend the politicians who have enabled this.
