Prickly City by Scott Stantis for June 16, 2020

Time for the Usual Suspects, with the usual nonsense. Good Day everyone and God Bless.

Winslow’s not voting for Biden? At least according to Stantis. Which makes no sense.

We had that for a while.

Of course there was a backlash, aided and abetted by our enemies.

“If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any,”

“You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT. He taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius. Dr. John Trump. I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ’How do you know so much about this? ’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

Day 54 of the Georgia Economic Recovery. After hearing that almost one million people applied for tickets to a Trump rally in Tulsa, the Biden campaign announced Mr. Biden would conduct a similar rally in his basement.

Looks like Scott is a Republican for Biden. Good.

The Lincoln Project’s commercial with Lindsey Graham is devastating.

Hope the democrats will tell the American public the policies they will implement. Mr. Trump will thereafter carry almost of of Mr. Obama’s 57 states. Probably not California, where vote-harvesting (aka vote fraud) is enshrined by statute.

Day 1243 of the Right Wing control of the Presidency, Supreme Court, and both Houses of Congress.

With a somewhat Left tilt for the House only, 532 Days ago.

Are you better off than you were on Jan 19, 2017?

And Jbm doesn’t even question the “almost one million” number that Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale has put forward.

Tulsa shows a population of 403,505.

And the BOK Center has a capacity of 19,100.

Because Trump’s campaign manager wouldn’t, couldn’t Lie?!!

“…vote-harvesting… is enshrined by statute”

Jbm is now against “States Rights”… Most likely, because he may not benefit from it….

How completely predictable.

Tulsa is still dealing with the challenges created by a pandemic. The city and state have authorized reopening, but that doesn’t make a mass indoor gathering of people pressed closely together and cheering a good idea.

There is no treatment for COVID-19 and no vaccine. It will be our health care system that will have to deal with whatever effects follow.

The public health concern would apply whether it were Donald Trump, Joe Biden or anyone else who was planning a mass rally at the BOK.

This is the wrong time.

Tulsa and the nation remain on edge after the May 25 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Trump, a divisive figure, will attract protests, the vast majority of which we expect to be peaceful.

But there may also be confrontation and inappropriate behavior from some. His 2016 Tulsa rally provoked a heated response for some, and his ability to provoke opponents has only grown since then.

Again, Tulsa will be largely alone in dealing with what happens at a time when the city’s budget resources have already been stretched thin.

There’s no reason to think a Trump appearance in Tulsa will have any effect on November’s election outcome in Tulsa or Oklahoma.

It has already concentrated the world’s attention of the fact that Trump will be rallying in a city that 99 years ago was the site of a bloody race massacre.

This is the wrong place for the rally.

When the president of the United States visits your city, it should be exciting.

We think a Trump visit will be, but for a lot of the wrong reasons, and we can’t welcome it.

Every culture faces a breaking point. Actions of leaders determine whether that culture implodes or overcomes the challenges.

The compassionate among us will want to know, you can now buy a tee shirt that says “Babies Lives Matter,” for sale at the Trump campaign website.

for those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected and self entitled will never know

Democrats Clarify That Black Lives Will Only Matter Until November

June 15th, 2020

U.S.—A team of political experts released its latest prediction on the Black Lives Matter movement today, saying the group’s current surge will likely only last until early November. The experts say after votes are cast in the 2020 election, politicians will no longer have a need for the black community, and everything will go back to normal.

The team of experts out of UCLA has been following Black Lives Matter since it emerged back in 2014 when an unarmed black man was killed by police in St. Louis. The popular civil rights group also made headlines in 2016 and 2018.

“We have to pander to them to see if they will matter,” said Nancy Pelosi. “We stand committed to elevating black voices when we need their votes and not a moment after.”

“It’s a strange phenomenon,” said UCLA professor Azad Khanna. “Every few years Black Lives Matter comes onto the scene for a couple of months and then just sort of disappears in November. I’ve never seen anything like it.” Khanna paused for a moment, noticing a young white woman who had kneeled before him. The woman asked his forgiveness for her white privilege and her years of racism toward African Americans and then started kissing his feet. Khanna kindly informed her that he is from India.

Experts believe the Black Lives Matter movement will re-emerge sometime in 2022.
