Dems are going all-in on this issue. They sincerely believe that the statue toppling and rioting is helping them politically.

Right on. A 4th of July speech is not the time or place to talk about the latest developing “scandal” involving Russia, or the latest numbers on the pandemic. She’s full of it to say he has the wrong priorities. Given the venue and the context of his speech, it would have been out of place to recite numbers on the pandemic.

Trump Spent His Entire Mt. Rushmore Speech

I doubt that Duckworthless heard 5 minutes of the speech, much less the entire speech. Most likely she didn’t read the entire speech either.

I still believe there is a “silent Majority” out there, to paraphrase Nixon.

Whether the silent majority will be enough to re-elect Trump remains to be seen. But that silent majority condemns violence and tearing down statutes. Politically this can only help Trump.

I suspect that the silent majority is too intimidated to speak out.

Truth is not a value of the Democrat/Left.

I want to say something nice about her given her wounded veteran status. The best I can do is “thank you for your military service (but not for your Senate service) moron.”

The silent majority respects the rule of law, and won’t break the law unless pushed very hard.

We have homes, lives, businesses, careers. We have something to lose.

But threaten to remove society’s foundation and throw us into communism? Oh yeah, the pushback will be epic.

Is she really worth a duck? “I got a duck for a buck, a buck for a duck ...”

I guess as far as she’s concerned, we’re all Confederates now.

Do you think I should make it a standalone post?

Frankly, Trump has a very good grasp of US history. I thought he did a great job. Also, he may have been trying to educate these hate America punks. His previous speech at West Point graduation was also eloquent.

She didn’t watch it.

Best speech so far.

If one didn't actually watch the speech and got all of one's information from Stephen Colbert's commentary, once might easily believe her.

It has not been possible for some time now to learn what any political figure actually said by reading the MSM's or their political opponent's Cliff's Notes. Outright lying has become the coin of the realm, so you have to find the actual transcripts and form your own opinions.

Problem is, Mark Kirk, the RINO she replaced, would have said the same thing,

Nothing is about R vs D anymore. It is America vs Socialism.

I don’t see why not, it sure covers what his speech was about.
