my sleep lately, and has been disturbed by my small child. I have a very small child who's six months

The people who are currently making the case for President Trump to be president are not Republicans.

They are all of the rioters and the looters and the violent jackasses in the streets harassing

normal people who are not bothering anybody, who are attempting to do violence, or who are being

driving Trump's reelect prospects at this point in time. All the Democrats had to do, and I've been saying this since the day that Trump was elected, all they had to do is not be crazy, and they just couldn't do it. They tried for a brief second in time to nominate somebody who was not the crazy person, right? They nominated Joe Biden in order to not nominate the octogenarian communist. And it turns out that Joe Biden is too weak to stand up

to his own base. He is too weak to stand up to the radicalism inherent in his own party. And the fact

is that even the administration he last served under was rather radical on a lot of these matters.

Remember, there were cities that burned during the last Democratic administration. Ferguson
