>>You have been misinformed. COVID-19 (aka “the European virus”) is quite racist infecting and killing far more blacks and ‘other people of color’ than white people.<<

It is SOOOOO sad when I have to add a /sarc tag.

What I MEANT (read slowly please) is that only a leftist deep-stater would in one breath say that people cannot gather in groups for normal societal purposes due to possible contamination and then in the next that it is OK to gather for antisocial purpose without that same fear.

The only possible conclusion from those statements is that COVID-19 will INTELLIGENTLY SELECT its victims based on said potential victims’ political stance and purpose. Thus it is not racist (and is in probably fact part of oblm).

I do hope that helped you understand my post.

The very first virus that comes with a moral compass to do Darwin’s work.

Sadly it is inverted.

I retract my last comment.

Yes these fools will flock together and light each others’ Molotov Cocktails and, God Willing, get extremely bad cases of COVID 19.

Boy, do I understand the feeling!. I understood your post perfectly and was agreeing with you. I’m getting so tired of stupid—not you or your post—but is going on the world right now.

In order to protect the crowd from covid-19 I am now labeling all Trump events as an anti Propaganda and censorship protest. It’s truly an important enough cause to protect all who attend.

I don’t even use the sarc tag anymore.

"No worries. She will be elected again and again. Maybe even go for governor or Senator"

This idiocy has got to be effecting liberals by now. We will see

Each neighborhood should get some barricades and signs, and declare themselves to be autonomous. That seems to be the easiest way to open back up.

How ironic.
Once upon a time you had to get a parade permit in order to hold a protest march.
That was so your parade would remain peaceful & police would protect marchers along the route— traffic was detoured, streets blocked. Police protected marchers from attacks by counter-protesters, provocateurs etc.

Now, no permits needed and no police protection is allowed. Flash-mobbers can just show up, shut down traffic, drag drivers out of their cars & bludgeon them, & do billions in damage to cities.

Related: US 5th Circuit: "The First Amendment does not allow our leaders to decide which rights to honor and which to ignore." (my title)

Short version: Local governments can not selectively allow and deny right of assembly. Allowing peaceful protests (riots) while enforcing lockdowns denies the rights of those locked down.

Not that Democrats care. The real target of all this is the election.

"I am writing assuming that you are resident in Seattle. How about recalling this outrageous mayor? She is doing to opposite of serving the city."

I was born in Seattle and lived there until 1983. Since then, I've lived in Shoreline, a suburb just north of the Seattle city limits.

You do understand that in Seattle there are FAR more communists than Republicans. Recalling her is impossible. The Great majority of the people of Seattle, want this...and voted for just this kind of political action.

“ How does she get away with this double standard?”

There is no one to stop her. No one In any semblance of power up there who even wants to stop her. It is a Stalinist place.
