KENOSHA, Wis. — Downtown buildings set ablaze by arsonists were still smoldering from the night before when Kirk Ingram started to paint an angel on his boarded-up store front. Ingram, a Democrat who runs a massage therapy business, said the war-zone images of his city on TV — armed people running through the streets, burned cars and broken windows — were bolstering President Donald Trump's get-tough message. Maybe a few uplifting murals could start to tell a different story about Kenosha, Ingram said Wednesday. Trump has attempted to frame the violent unrest in the wake of Jacob Blake’s shooting as

"Maybe if I just paint an angel on my business, the mob won't burn it the next time." Trying to paint over the violence and thuggery is typical for leftists. They definitely live in their own little universe with the unicorns and fairies.

When the police force is painted as all dirty cops, they will be treated in said manner. I resent Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Democrats for what they have done to the United States and to the police force. The "Beer Summit" should have been an indicator.

By their own words and deeds, they don't care about what happens in Kenosha - they just care about the optics. Just horrible...

The people in Kenosha and every other city touched by Dem. violence should be aware that their lives and their livelihoods do NOT matter to the Democrats. The people experiencing violence are nothing more than the means to the Democrats end. Their VOTES and nothing else matters to these evil people. They care about nothing and no one except their lust for power and wealth. They have no regard for the sanctity of life and are devoid of compassion.
My hope is that when these people vote they remember that it was their Governors and Mayors who sold them down the river with their obeisance to BLM and Antifa thugs. That will only continue if Biden becomes President. Donald Trump absolutely must win!!

They don't care that it is wrong, unlawful, disgusting, perverted, homeland terrorism, wrong, etc. They care that it makes the Republicans law and order look good. These people are pathetic excuses for American citizens.

I for damn sure hope so. The riots and the tone difference between the two 'conventions' should put Trump way over the top come Nov.

The choice this election is clear: MOBS or JOBS! Someone said this to describe what the Dems will give the country (Mobs), and what Donald Trump will bring (Jobs). Seems obvious.

Nothing truer ever was spoken on CNN (and I will give Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo their due, but I doubt they thought of it this way) when they worried about the effect of the rioting on the focus groups and the polls.
Obviously, focus groups, polls, and being able to bamboozle the voters again are among the most important aims of the deep state power-mad swamp dwellers (Democrats, RINO Republicans, and media whores).

So when it starts to hurt their poll numbers, THEN they "care."
The business owners, the employees, the people that call those cities wrecked and ruined by crime, terrorism, and constant fear, they don't matter.

The Democrat politicians do not care about the destruction, the rioters, or their victims. They care about what helps or hurts them politically. They made a huge miscalculation by assuming that America would side with the criminals and blame Trump. There is no easy way to slither out of this now.

The Dems are like a doctor saying, "If that patient dies, it will hurt my performance statistics." As if performance stats are the be-all, end-all of medicine! Or in the case of the Dems, as I believe it usually is with the Dems, it is all about their power -- NOT the people of this country. Among Dems, there has been almost no concern articulated about the businesses (and lives!) of the people these rioters and looters have destroyed. For example, Lori Lightfoot of Chicago finally does something about the Magnificent Mile days after the worst damage has been done. The Governor of Wisconsin lets Kenosha burn.
I hope the Democrats lose so badly that it takes at least a decade before they can climb to the light of day from the depths of the hole they've dug for themselves.

Like everything else, democrats look at this through the lens of politics. They don't care about the issue itself, only how it helps or hurts them!

Of course it is. But our President does not want that kind of a boost. When the story shakes out, we will once again find out that the “victim” was a repeat offender, up to no good, and armed with a knife - or diving into his car for one that was found on the floor of the driver area. Taser didn’t faze him. Drugged up as he paid a call on his girlfriend, whom he was not to be anywhere near? He was a threat to someone...

Open letter to Democrats from a rather independent leaning GOP committed voter.
To see Democrats BEGIN to concern themselves with looting, arson, assault and murder because it's beginning to hurt them politically makes me sick to my stomach.
God Bless America, MAGA, and may you burn in a political hell of your own making for at least 4 more years.

Democrats are starting to realize the Kraken they released upon the nation has turned on them. Kinda like how the French Revolution turned on the organizers after they ran out of aristocrats. I hope the karma bite lasts for at least of decade of pain for their party.

I'm afraid the average democrat won't even think of this when he goes to the polls. With so many of them, only the party counts. The lambs are ready for the slaughter.

They are sure on the attack today. Fox News is disgusting. Chris Wallace says Biden will win a landslide and that the public trusts Biden to handle law enforcement by six points. Then they say attacking Hunter Biden is a conspiracy theory. Then they ask why Republicans don't condemn "right wing rioting." All in three minutes. This is a sick, despicable network.

Hilarious! It took the left 3 months plus to figure out that rioting, murder, arson, beatings and looting wouldn’t go over well with most Americans. Way too late to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

From the start, the Democrats calculated that if they let their goons run wild and have it spread across the entire country, that it would look like a populist revolution. Not just against Trump, but also against America's founders (thus the statue toppling games), its constitution, its history and traditions, and its remaining patriotic citizens. And I believe they were confident that if Trump sent in troops and federal marshalls to quell it, they could be successfully portrayed and assaulted as "stormtroopers."
Well, they miscalculated. Badly. Now there's no way to hide their involvement and purposeful collusion...their Democrat Insurrection by surrogate forces (BLM and Antifa and Marxist college punks) exposed and foiled. They'll be lucky to just get voted out in shame. They deserve to be dead in the streets or hanging from lamp posts.

The Dems view everything through the lens of political advantage. Don Lemon frets that the rioting must stop because it's affecting the polls and focus groups, hurting Dem prospects. In spite of the rioting working to their advantage, Republicans want the rioting to stop because it's harming the country and its citizens. The contrast could not be more stark.

The leftist and liberal Democrats who run those inner cities and who have covertly supported the violent criminal rioters almost entirely consisting of anarchist and ignorant dark age socialist Democrat supporters who the Democrats have referred to as being “peaceful protestors are going to come back and bite the Democrat ticket of Biden and Harris big time.
It’s too late for the leftist and liberal Democrats to now change their spots, as the lying eyes of everybody who has been paying attention have told them that the out of control groups who are politically motivated, and who the leftist and liberal Democrats have been calling “peaceful protestors” are really in essence violent criminal rioters who have committed arson, have assaulted law enforcement officers, looted, and generally destroyed both private and public buildings and other property.

All Demon-Rats care about is power.
They don't care about people. Just having power over them.
They used to at least hide that during elections, but now it's like they are proud of how they want to rule over the peasants, and will use violence, hate, and destruction to accomplish that goal!!!!
