Surely the Democrats of California can come together and say we politicians are not racists but the cops are.
Where's Kamala Harris? Surely, she can bring down the temperature.
Where's Dianne Feinstein? Why does she have a job?
Where's Nancy Pelosi? Chinatown but what about Oaktown?
Where's Adam Schiff? Too busy looking through transcripts for Russia collusion?
Where's a President who gives a **** about unarmed people getting murdered again, and again, and again?
I thought Hitler was supposed to be impeached, really, you're waiting for his leadership? Maybe you should care about your own Democrat leaders whom you have elected year after year?
Leadership for something like this comes from the top and Captain Catastrophe's lack thereof speaks volumes. Just like COVID 19, this is a national problem as evidence by the cities being affected by it and national leadership is what is needed. Perhaps Captain Catastrophe is too busy pushing Hydroxychloriquine, coming up with brilliant treatments for COVID 19, being mad at Twitter, or retweeting inappropriate slogans, to be the leader that this country needs at this time. Maybe we can all trust that he'll do better with the next national crisis.
I agree completely that Trump is not the guy you want at the helm in a crisis, but one other thing strikes me: Every single last one of the rioters and looters is a Biden supporter. That doesn't comfort me one bit. You know what they say about the company you keep.
That's absolutely not true but it seems like a nice coping mechanism for you. We know that some number of far right militants (look up "Boogaloo") and racists (check out "Proud Boys") instigated rioting/looting. We know that antifa was responsible as well and they do not support Biden or anyone else in the government.
Did the political makeup of the marchers in Charlottesville comfort you? You know what they say about the company you keep.
I don't know how anyone can say with a straight face "the company you keep" while supporting Trump.
Nice attempt at deflection. Anyone with a set of eyes who watched the looters knows full well who's involved. You could count on one hand the amount of looters in Santa Monica who live there. They commuted in to prey on the beleaguered shopkeepers who've been trying to cope with Covid for months. They're parasites plain and simple. If you tuned in to CNN for a bit, Chris Cuomo was trying to put his taint on the proceedings by counting the white guys who were looting a Starbucks, just to make sure his viewers weren't believing what they were seeing with their own eyes.
To throw some irony in the mix, Santa Monica is as far left as one can go, almost on par with Berkeley, but I guess that didn't garner much mercy from society's "victims" who drove their very nice late model cars in from LA to pounce when their targets were vulnerable. What a way to pay back people who've been standing up for you.
Now, isn't it about the time of day for you to take one of those illegal walks in Golden Gate Park while questioning why there are so many people there violating the SIP order?
It's remarkable how many things you manage to get wrong. First - why don't you look at San Francisco public health guidance and point to me where it says that running in golden gate park or bicycling with children is illegal. I will wait.
Second - The fact that SM is liberal doesn't mean that the looters are voting for Biden since, as you point out, the looters aren't from Santa Monica. I doubt many looters are registered voters. The fact that you choose to ignore antifa and other extremists who don't support democrats whatsoever is unsurprising.
Third - you seem to believe in "the company you keep" so you either must be quite happy to be associated with white nationalists of the type who chanted in Charlottesville, or you think it only applies to other people. I would hope that it's the latter and that you are just a hypocrit, because the former is too depressing to accept.
I just looked at the sf.gov website and it says, in big bold letters:
Stay home except for essential needs;Everyone must stay home. https://sf.gov/stay-home-except-essential-needs Down further it does allow for: "
You may walk, bike or go for a run near your home. If it would be difficult to stay 6 feet away from people not in your household, go somewhere else. Do not visit friends or family if there is no urgent need." The intent and spirit of the rules are quite clear. You have chosen to take the path of least resistance because that's what suits you. I know, I know, it's for
other people to really shelter in place, even though you advocate for it endlessly. I'm just shocked at yet another example of limousine libby hypocrisy. Not.
I didn't literally mean that those looters were going to go out and vote for Biden. Why spend time voting when you can be out burglarizing people who are out voting? Very likely, many of them also don't know who George Floyd was. But if you asked them who they favored, would it be Trump or Biden? You can talk about Antifa and other extremist losers all you want, but I know what I saw, and 90+% of those looters were folks who wanted to take what they know isn't there's and probably never heard of Antifa.
When you are excusing the looters and rioters as some have done here, then you are in that company. I don't support any far right groups and trust me, I wouldn't qualify for membership even if I desired to join. In fact, I'd be one of their targets. But I do think it would be interesting for a sociologist to explore why there was no looting in Charlottesville.
The truth lies somewhere between CNN and Fox.
