1. The police are the rioters

sometimes there are business owners who... own that property
Aug 28th 2020

      that's what insurance is for.
Aug 28th 2020

      This sentiment builds coalitions

Aug 29th 2020
103
                absolutely. everyone will lose something..there's no escaping that
Aug 30th 2020

                     No question. Agree with every word.

                You ain’t know
Sep 08th 2020
205
It's the only thing keeping Trump alive at the moment
Aug 28th 2020
4
it gives media an issue to push the horserace they been starving for.
Aug 28th 2020
5
The lack of a second stimulus should be the real story right now
Aug 28th 2020
7
      as well as the destruction of the post office during a pandemic.
Aug 28th 2020
9
           People don't get off the couch to vote for the post office
Aug 28th 2020
10
                people have never had the post office intentionally sabotaged
Aug 28th 2020
17
Who knows - swing states are filled with mindless gooberts
Aug 28th 2020

Yeah... the more destruction and chaos they see
Aug 28th 2020

      Yup. Trump "rescued" the Republican party with this
Aug 28th 2020
12
           White men.. and their wives.. and kids
Aug 28th 2020
13
           youre forgetting the intentional massive voter suppression

Aug 28th 2020
20
                I'm talking about the RNC autopsy
Aug 28th 2020
27
                     the rnc hired a black chairman (steele) and fired him
Aug 28th 2020
30
                          Autopsy was 2013
Aug 28th 2020
33
                               my bad i meant post 2012.
Aug 28th 2020
37
It’s definitely not helping
Aug 28th 2020
14
btw it says a lot about our country that virtually nobody is predicting
Aug 28th 2020

berating people to stand with you
Aug 28th 2020
18
im not completely convinced all of these folks are authentic.
Aug 28th 2020
21
I'm not ruling out that some of them are agitators
Aug 28th 2020
25
does the media ever interview these 'protestors'?
Aug 28th 2020
32
      Good point
Aug 28th 2020
57
i've seen them live and in person
Aug 28th 2020
35
      trash as in fake?
Aug 28th 2020
38
           yeah like weird
Aug 28th 2020
39
                how/where are these things even organized?
Aug 28th 2020
42
                     idk
Aug 28th 2020
43
                          ah thanks for the details.
Aug 28th 2020
45
That’s why riots is in parentheses
Aug 28th 2020
31
      exactly
Aug 28th 2020
36
      Without a doubt
Aug 28th 2020
56

Aug 28th 2020
23
Fucking Bizarro world
Aug 28th 2020
24

Aug 28th 2020
34
