Rumours that sleepy isn't overly enamoured with her and wants to unload her. Imagine the woke,BLM,portland massive reaction if he did and replaced her with a white person.
PMSL at the hole this lot are digging.

That's obvious whataboutism! The people he killed were, so far as I am aware, local. Were they even protesting, let alone "threatening and damaging businesses"? If they were then they were the responsibility of law enforcement and not some self-appointed, out of town, gun-toting, vigilante even if a local business welcomed him. Although that sounds more than a little contrived. The plain fact is the kid travelled a long way, armed and looking for trouble, and was not invited to go. If he had been, he should have refused. It was not his business.

The constant allegations of the "Democrats not doing their jobs" is risible. At the very worst, it's a handful of local politicians either not providing sufficient resources for law enforcement to do their jobs, or, extremely improbably, giving instructions that they should not do their jobs.

This isn't the policy of the DNC. Why on earth would it be? It would be madness. The accusations are just political mudslinging, which have the consequential effect of winding up people like this kid who can then, with the lack of effective gun laws, create the situation for which he was undoubtedly responsible for creating.

We have a breakthrough and can agree about something!

No-one needs to protect inoffensive speech. So does this mean you now agree that we do need to protect against grossly offensive speech. As I do?

If so, all we need to do is determine what is grossly offensive, and what isn't. That has changed over the years as we have become more adept at recognising what is grossly offensive.

There will always be disagreements about what is, and what is not, grossly offensive. That's healthy. But we ought to be able to agree about some basic concepts. Like encouraging violence of any kind. Or sedition. Indeed, Rule 8 of this very site contains many of the things that most people now find grossly offensive.

Just because some people find something offensive is not, in my opinion, enough to restrict it. It has to be something that can cause real harm.

Yes, it's different to my youth. Back then, people with black skins were openly called w*gs, or n*ggers. Even the most racist among us would blanch at that today. So it's much better.

It's only whataboutism if you regard double standards as fine.

Actually most of those dudes who attacked Rittenhouse had a further trek to get there than he did....so you're basically talking out of your Cornwall again. Rittenhouse was asked to turn up and was cleaning graffiti off of his workplace for most of that day.

As for your excuses for Democratic politicians not properly using Police enforcement during that 18 month period....which everyone other than an idiot or liar knows was deliberate policy......Well, I think you know for well why that was done and I don't want to fill up this post with the obvious reasons why because they have been said many times.

It is in fact true that if these places had been enforced there would have been no incident like this....in fact all of the places that saw significant rioting for 18 months were Democrat run.

The very best chance that the Republicans would have of winning in 2024 would be if Harris were president.

She isn't even liked in the Democrat party let alone nationally....just looking at her candidate results showed that.

I can't seriously believe that the Democrats would run with her.....because they would have to seriously rig the election to win.

There is a difference. One got voted in properly,legally and above board and will again.
