It felt good at the time, I'm sure. They should not have done that. But, it's not like they advocate oppression of a whole race, or something like that....

Yeah. Keep waiting for the destruction of an object or somebody else to do something to fix the problems

Good luck with that.

Tell that to your Dear Leader as he remains active trying to destroy the American ideal.

I had a very successful 38-year engineering career that took me all over the country and the world, thank you very much.

Democracy is a belief system that every citizen subscribes to, not a job. Liberty and equality are part of the core beliefs.

When this peace is disturbed, violence erupts. Question for you is who disturbed this peace?

As usual, Jennifer Rubin gets it right.

Quote:
Unless and until Trump is impeached, resigns or loses reelection, he and his brand of politics dominate the GOP. The only means to free itself of the yoke of Trump is to discard the personnel and policies that embody his white racial resentment ploy. With a unified voice, Republicans can denounce the president’s alt-right advisers, the voting fraud commission (which itself is a fraud), the proposed pardon of anti-immigrant hero Joe Arpaio and other symbols of Trump’s identification with white grievance. The GOP either rejects Trump or once and for all it sacrifices the Party of Lincoln to a ragtag band of white nationalists — some more subtle than others but all an anathema to American democracy.

My bit is done on the golden keyboard of the Excellence in Websurfing Network.

And I'm decent to everyone in real life, but I assume you are too. Important not to assume character and ideology are strongly linked. The latter is just ideas in the brain, don't have to relate to reality at all, and very often do not.

Is no one bothered by the fact that Law Enforcement did nothing to stop vandalism?

I'm assuming a judgement call was made on this, also possibly just indecision.
