I think strong people can walk down ramps by themselves, know England is a nuclear contender, know Finland is not a part of Russia, be able to drink water without needing a walker, and realize that McCarthur is not MacGuyver.

Maybe you guys have smarter role models.

This one is brain dead.

Don’t wish the virus on anyone, but apparently Trump doesn’t care as long as he can have his moment, if a few supporters die it’s for a good cause. Can you say desperation, his poll numbers are dismal for “the best president of our lifetime”.

Dude,
It’s the perfect example of natural selection.

I encourage all to attend sans masks.

I thought smoking would kill the Redd Hats, but I guess it’s gonna be just dumb luck.

I'll bite.

Juneteenth should be a federal holiday (not at the expense of Columbus day) as it marks the day when all slaves were "freed".

I tend to look at other hard dates like the Emancipation Proclamation, or when the actual work was being done by Sherman from Chattanooga to Atlanta to the Sea to Raleigh

Yeah sure, but your Potus chose that date and location to hold a rally all his own health experts say is a really bad idea, so no the most abrasive person on this board doesn’t get a pass.

It's OK, all the other Health Experts that said it was OK to gather in massive groups over 2 weeks to protest.

Inside no masks close quarters and outside majority with masks moving about yes. their close but the 2 are not remotely the same

Saw one example Trump rally 18x more likely to transmit covid


The protesters are not wanted by the POTUS or many Americans

But Trump has promoted his rally encouraging no masks by his cabinet's example sign wavers and pass out masks and handsantizer , as a ploy to show responsibility.. mixed messages that's an understatement but the Typical trump supporters its unless Trump says different then its for joy

Like most liberals you cannot stay focused. I hope you realize that he is also your president dummy.It’s too bad we just can’t celebrate Juneteenth without being political

You do realize this is a political forum and just because he is my president, doesn’t mean I don’t support him, my opinion of him is the complete opposite of yours. His choice of the date and location opens him and you by association up to criticism, I guess if you didn’t want that post thread to become political, it should have gone elsewhere.

Why muddy up a thread about what many blacks consider their Independence Day with partisan banter. Zero respect for dark skin is my guess.

Keep trying, if there is zero respect for the day, it’s the scheduling a rally on that day and at that location. You of course see Trump as never doing anything wrong, your arguments are of course always amusing.

On a side note, anyone signing a Covid-19 waiver in order to attend a rally to hear about how Covid-19 isn’t a big deal anymore, is a special kind of stupid.

I am sure you can start a thread if it upsets you rather than spit in the face of those who show respect. ✊ there will never be equality when fools inject politics for personal gain.

That’s rich, said the guy who has spit in the face and disrespected almost every person frequenting this board, but wait you don’t even stop there, you throw your vile crap on to family members and beyond. I have zero respect for you or the BS horse you road in on, you posted a thread which by its name and Trumps scheduling opened it up to criticism, pull up your skirt and look hard there might be a set hiding there.

This thread was about showing some respect to a race which has been oppressed for hundreds of years and recognizing their independence. Too bad you had to make it about you. Done here with your racism.

Keep on criticizing Juneteenth.

You suggesting your taking the high road is f*cking hilarious, you have lived on the low road for as long as I’ve been posting here. I’m not criticizing Juneteenth, just the best president of our lifetime picking that day and that spot to hold a rally where he will do what he does best, divide and promote exactly what he probably hopes will happen outside.

Good try, but hey I applaud your attempt to make my post something it wasn’t.

So I recognize Juneteenth.
You take that opportunity to make it about OUR President for some reason (TDS).
You refuse to yield nor join me in my tribute.
But I made your post something it wasn’t.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I get it.
F the blacks and their holiday
Trump lives in your head and you can’t escape it long enough to show some civility. Nor resist the urge to display your bias.

I bought this last year....only example I've seen in 30 some years of doing what I do and the earliest Emancipation item in pottery/porcelain item I've seen....this is the first date of Emancipation following the British Slavery Abolition Act 1833 which began in the British West Indies, interesting to read about because it wasn't full Emancipation till 1838 most continued to work under apprenticeships till 1838...

Juneteenth should be a National holiday

It is the same. Ten thousand people in a confined space for 4 hours in one session versus a million people over two weeks in multiple sessions in many locations with some distancing and some mask wearing.

One side gets hammered by the press and medical profs and the other side gets hugs.

Very interesting.

Also interesting, France and England abolished slavery at different times but still somewhat before the US. But when France and Britain hold their noses at us one must remember they stopped it just before we did and they were responsible for it in the Americas.

England stopped the Slave Trade in the early 1800s but did not abolish it until 1833.

France abolished slavery in 1798?? but Bonaparte restarted and it lasted another 30 years.

England started the West Africa Squadron early 1800s to STOP slave ships from Africa to the Americas (vast majority NOT to the USA) and the US Navy started assisting them a dozen years later.

The USS Constitution was the US Navy's Flagship of a couple Anti- Slavery patrols and captured a Slaver on her last actual tour of Duty as a combatant.

So Western slavery, which existed for over a 1000 years (total 10,000 years??) was being (finally) exhaustively strangled during the 1800s. France and England beat us by a couple decades, the decreed it, we had to go to war to stop it.

On one side you have people protesting for change the country thinks necessary, the other an event organized to stroke a fragile man's ego.

Not quite the same.

I don't think there should have been a rally, and I don't think there should have been protests that go against what was considered THEN necessary precautions (masks and six feet). I do not condone the violence.

With that said it sounds like, For You, it is OK for the people protesting to conduct their First Amendment right to peacefully assemble but not OK for Trump Supporters First Amendment right to peacefully assemble.
