2020...

Yes, they are. But words still matter and, to me, it's all part of a softening the approach for circumstances not requiring force, i.e. most circumstances encountered by "police."
The police have too much on their plates. Armed police should not be expected to respond to every accident, domestic dispute, fire, loud party, medical emergency or the like. We need police, we don't need a military type response to every domestic disturbance. We probably need more people dedicated to protect and serve, to look out for the welfare of the people in this country. Just not a commando raid because someone is playing their music too loud.
 
I’m so grateful that at this time of unprecedented challenge to our nation from this threat, our President is calmly and firmly guiding us through the crisis.

You mean by tweet storming about other issues he is also doing nothing about and whining about how mean everyone is being to him?
 
I prefer dealing with reality and not pretending regarding something.

I suspect for instance you are fine with guys playing on girls teams. You prefer "avoiding the conflict" and letting them play where they don't belong for instance. Rather than saying...hey we have boys/mens teams and girls/womens teams for a reason go play on the correct one.
Yes, avoiding conflict is working great in Seattle.
 
How many men and woman died in Iraq and Afganie? Everyone from that administration made some really deadly decisions and I'm glad their voting for Biden.
I have no idea how that dolt W, run by Rumsfeld and Cheney, won a second term.
But at least experienced Republicans are moving away from Trump and toward America.

Colin Powell said their were WMD as did Hillary. What Joe have to say about war bro? Obama took us to more war. War=death to many families. War=$$$ for businessman. Bolton? Flake? I think you can see the truth, no? Come on Messy.....lol!!! Happy July 5th bro :) BTW, what % today you give Joe to win? WHO will he pick as VP? Experience republicans and lifetime Democrats who hold office forever are 100% moving away from t. I will say t has been trying bring troops home and not go fight, right? Bolton was all pissed off at t because he wouldnt bomb countries. Can we at least give t a little credit for saving lives? t said no to Iraq war and death and Hillary and Joe was all for war.

“I do not believe this is a rush to war,” Biden said a few days before the vote. “I believe it is a march to peace and security. I believe that failure to overwhelmingly support this resolution is likely to enhance the prospects that war will occur …”

But he had a power much greater than his own words. He was able to choose all 18 witnesses in the main Senate hearings on Iraq. And he mainly chose people who supported a pro-war position. They argued in favor of “regime change as the stated US policy” and warned of “a nuclear-armed Saddam sometime in this decade”. That Iraqis would “welcome the United States as liberators” And that Iraq “permits known al-Qaida members to live and move freely about in Iraq” and that “they are being supported”.

More than 4,500 US soldiers, and nearly as many US military contractors, lost their lives; tens of thousands were wounded, with hundreds of thousands more suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Estimates of Iraqi deaths run as high as 1 million.

At the very least Messy, Joe should explain why he played such a major role in winning the authorization from Congress for President Bush to wage this disastrous war.

That’s true. Everybody voted to go to that stupid war based on false pretenses. Biden sounds like he was as or more complicit than all of them. No getting around that. I was getting in loud arguments with people because I knew it was a mistake. Trump was in favor and then against. Joe should explain, but it’s more important that he discuss how to bring this country together and fight this pandemic.
I hope he picks Tammy Duckworth. An unassailable choice.
He’s got about a 75% chance at this point.

Maybe 80%. Vegas gives him a 66% shot, but that was a couple of days ago. He totally botched the 4th.

I'm going to take you and espy as the same person for now. He only super ignores me out of all the trolls on here. Is that a badge of honor? I'm coming up on my 7 year anniversary too. I only have one to thank for inviting me here....lol! I wonder why espy only tunes me out? He he he he never responds to me but but but but he will you? I will admit I was pissed off when we got attacked in 2001. I was for the war before i was against it. I was not a fan of t back then Messy. He was a Dem big time and I couldn;t stand him talking against the attack of Iraq, and Bush and all that crazy stuff he said on why we shouldnt go to war. He was right as you were and i was as wrong as was everyone else. Those bad decisions were costly with lives and money. I remember, so nice try. t was not for the Iraq war, never was. He won the election in part because of that imo. I know Russians helped him win too and that stupid electoral college system that is racist needs to go too.
