He's not totally brain dead. The parts of his brain that function by instinct are still working and making him say whatever those in control think will get him elected along with Komrada, even when it flies in the face of his, alleged, "core" beliefs. Think of it like a rat after cheese.

"Out the door guys"
"Lets go"
"Turn around...turn around"

Your quote misses the point of this showing. Trump had the balls to be out in public and show his support for this business. Yes he needs security and they were moving the the press outside.
But the essence of what he did there is awesome.
Independent self employed business owners are having a hard time right now. Dems would like to see it continue right up to the election.
Every independent restaurant owner should look at this video.

You know what gets me, and this applies to any President, Trump, Obama or any of those that came before during the "modern" era of media, is that they can't even go take a pee without a press gaggle. The behavior of the press has gotten worse and worse as time has gone on. Now it's to the point of them talking over the President, Vice President and other high ranking officials. The press are like kids, no consequences lead to no respect, at all. Can any of us imagine how we would react to behavior like this? I can, and it ain't pretty for the press!

Commentary from Brittany Packnett Cunningham, a member of former President Barack Obama’s 21st-century policing task force,:

"I am very, very worried about the fact that given all of the invalidating rhetoric that Donald Trump has used about this election, attempting to undermine results before we even get them, that he is readying his people for violent mutiny if the results don’t go his way.”

So the people who have been conducting a violent mutiny for almost 4 years because the results didn't go their way are warning that the other side, who suffered through 8 years of Obama without doing any such thing, is going to get violent. These dems are feeling like a buzzing fly that won't go away. Is there any way to just make them go away so those who just want to live in peace can go on with their lives?

Quoting them was just for fun, whole point of the video was to show his continued support for small businesses; also promoting the fact that it is safe to go outside to eat and get fresh air :)

Here is a good piece on the fallacy of systemic racism, and possibly a preview of things to come if Trump doesn't win re-election.


I've quoted the last paragraph for your interest.

"What if the racism explanation for ongoing disparities is wrong, however? What if racial economic and incarceration gaps cannot close without addressing personal responsibility and family culture—without a sea change in the attitudes that many inner-city black children bring with them to school regarding studying, paying attention in class, and respecting teachers, for example? What if the breakdown of the family is producing children with too little capacity to control their impulses and defer gratification? With the university now explicitly committed to the racism explanation for all self-defeating choices, there will be little chance of changing course and addressing the behaviors that lie behind many racial disparities. The persistence of inequality will then produce a new round of quotas and self-incrimination—as well as more violence and anger. And the graduates of these ideologically monolithic universities will proceed further to dismantle our civilization in conformity to a lie."

Clearly, it's really a matter of some people not trying hard enough; if blacks would only try harder they could be just as well off as whites.

Things would certainly be different if blacks were't so damn lazy.

Detroit Absentee Ballot Chaos: ‘So Inaccurate We Can’t Even Attempt to Make Right’

The Detroit News reported:

Recorded ballot counts in 72% of Detroit’s absentee voting precincts didn’t match the number of ballots cast, spurring officials in Michigan’s largest county to ask the state to investigate ahead of a pivotal presidential election.

Without an explanation from Detroit election workers for the mismatches, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers requested this week for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office to examine the “training and processes” used in Detroit’s Aug. 4 primary, which one official described as a “perfect storm” of challenges. The board is charged with certifying election results.

Forty-six percent of all precinct numbers were askew, canvassers were told.

According to state law, precincts cannot be counted where poll books — that is, a list of registered voters in that precinct — are not matched with the ballots.

Data presented to the board said 81 precincts, including 73 absentee voter precincts, were +/- 5 votes “without explanation.”

Monica Palmer, one of the Republican members of the four-person Wayne County Board of Canvassers, told the News procedures were not followed.

“It was so inaccurate that we can’t even attempt to make it right,” she said...

Clearly, you missed the author's point. But you're certainly entitled to your opinion, too.

NAACP QUOTE OF THE DAY

MAY 2020 “Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden made a comment about the NAACP’s endorsement. We want to clarify that the NAACP is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse candidates for political office at any level."

:wow:
