    I see that President Trump will courageously travel to Kenosha on Tuesday in the hope of easing tensions in the city following the police shooting of suspected rapist Jacob Blake...

    President Donald Trump will travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday to meet with law enforcement and to survey some of the damage from the recent protests, the White House announced Saturday evening.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/29/politics/trump-kenosha-wisconsin/index.html

    President Trump is putting his life at risk in order to help others whilst it seems his opponent Joe Biden is avoiding the city. Not very "presidential" of Biden and extremely cowardly IMHO.

    Two sources with knowledge of the former vice president’s travel discussions say that while Biden is expected to travel, he will steer clear of the pivotal Midwestern battleground state on Monday.

    How can anyone write that without cringing?

    Meanwhile Biden/Harris actually spoke to the family of the man shot by police

    That's not a good thing. Have you any idea what he is accused of? He is a dirtbag of the highest order and Biden scored a huge own goal by speaking with his family IMHO.

    * Disclaimer, I do not believe Blake deserved to be shot *

    * Warning, post contains disturbing content *

    https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/

    Blake, 29, was forbidden from going to the Kenosha home of his alleged victim from the May 3 incident, and police were dispatched Sunday following a 911 call saying he was there.

    The responding officers were aware he had an open warrant for felony sexual assault.

    Blake is accused in the criminal complaint, which was obtained by The Post, of breaking into the home of a woman he knew and sexually assaulting her.

    The victim, who is only identified by her initials in the paperwork, told police she was asleep in bed with one of her children when Blake came into the room around 6 a.m. and allegedly said, “I want my sh-t,” the record states.

    She told cops Blake then used his finger to sexually assault her, sniffed it and said, “Smells like you’ve been with other men,” the criminal complaint alleges.

    The officer who took her statement said she “had a very difficult time telling him this and cried as she told how the defendant assaulted her.”

    The alleged victim said Blake “penetrating her digitally caused her pain and humiliation and was done without her consent” and she was “very humiliated and upset by the sexual assault,” the record states.

    The alleged victim told cops she has known him for eight years and claims that he physically assaults her “around twice a year when he drinks heavily.”

    Put whatever spin on it you want, you cannot deny that Biden is a COWARD for not going at a time when his country needs him most.

    Your certainly putting the spin on it you want

    And that does not mean it wasn't a criminal act to shoot a man seven times in the back. Trump gave condolences for a Neo Nazi last night, bit telling that you are not viewing that as an own goal.

    Is Pete playing the very long game? :P

    So its a criminal complaint that alleges he sexually assaulted her?

    So in that case you would agree that Trump is a "dirtbag" because there it is alleged that he and Epstein sexually assaulted a minor but the case has been hidden due to him currently being president?

    Thats your hero, a dirtbag who allegedly sexually assaulted a minor....well done you.

    Nobody's arguing that he was a good man. They're arguing that summary execution for the kind of thing that's regularly handled by every other police force around the world is over the top.

    This statement in itself is testament to the failure Trump has been as President.

    Thanks for the evidence.

    You are suggesting America needs Biden now more than ever.

    While he is just a candidate, 2 months before the election and while the incumbent is still in office.

    If Trump is so capable, and is in a position to do something, why is Biden so needed?

    'Claims police union'

    What would you expect them to say?

    Ah I get you now. My bad. Bidens country doesnt need him.

    It does, big time, hence him running for President.
    Down side is that best case scenario, it will still be 5 months before he can do anything.

    No witness has come forward to say he had a knife but we should be expected to believe the police union :pac:

    Biden is tearing Trump apart at the moment.

    The President of America is race baiting.

    USA today fact check reveals there was a knife, somebody shouted drop the knife and there was something in his hand.

    the balance of probability here absolutely suggests its more possible there was a knife than not.

    They all handled it as best they could same as the US and Trump that why I'm not classifying it as a terrible job.

    Handling it "the best they could" isn't acceptable when you're playing with people's lives. Stupidity at the top of government in the likes of the US and UK has cost literally thousands of lives. I don't see any situation where that's acceptable.

    I thought both pictures were CNN ones until I saw the text.

    That is what he looks like.

    the one in the tweet you quoted is definitely modified, no denying the guy is wearing tan but come on , I posted 2 pics from the same evening on the same podium and theres a noticeable difference.

    gonna be a crazy 2 months for sure. i'd go so far as to say this is the most important US election of all time. vote for trump and hasten the downfall of the country, or vote for biden to give at least a chance to save it. america is in deep deep ****. a barely functioning government, more division than has ever been seen to the point of talk of civil war, and an economic bomb just waiting to go off and send them back to the stone age. china and russia absolutely licking their lips and cheering trump on.

    impossible to call right now. it looked like corona was going to kill trump but the deaths and cases are falling and he might well rush through a vaccine approval just in time for november on top of his law and order schtick which although ridiculous, seems to be helping his polls as long as riots continue in american cities.

    as for biden - he is a weak candidate. he's just too old and it shows. he looks like he's barely struggling to read his teleprompter. i don't think trump is very far behind him either in terms of faculties tbh, but trump is still sharp enough to throw out insults in the debates that his rabid base will salivate over. there should be an upper age limit on the presidency.

    it really is incredible how many scandals trump has managed to brush off. literally dozens, any of which would force any other person to resign. he would have to kill someone on live tv to lose his base, and tbh that might not even do it.

    While I agree that it isn't something that happens every day, i would be wary of PragerU as a source. They aren't a university; they're a crowd that make partisan videos and I can't see from the picture where their numbers came from.

    It's to emphasise his traditional masculinity.
