come back when you have read the changes, and what I commented on them, READ something (for a change, it seems)

So Biden has chosen Kamala Harris as running mate.

Is that to sway coloured voters and women voters in the swing states?

At least it is clear rather than Trump and the GOP trying to get Kanye West on the ballet in those areas where they think he can take more votes from the Democrats.

Biden should be fine as long as he doesn't speak.

Trump stoking division between right and left wing.
It seems that it's now ok for civilians to travel from out of stat, shoot a couple of people and be forgiven as they are "protecting their property".

Whatever happened to Leaders uniting their people - this guy is one dangerous hombre.

Obviously he feels this may help get his campaign back on track but, at what cost to "his" people.

Don't different states have different laws who are run independently of the US government? unlike you I'm not clued up on the law over there but in some states apparently it's quite legal to shoot somebody while defending their property, so that's hardly Trumps fault if the governors' of those said states pass such laws, I'm sure Trump's guilty of many things without accusations like that, and no I'm not a Trump fan just fed up of reading the countless expansion theory threads of donnypoos.

Do you really think that the 17 year old who was armed and driven, to a peaceful protest was defending his property ??
Had someone nicked his skateboard

As for the US Gun laws, Obama was trying to do something about them and was blocked at every turn.
Trump on the other hand has done all that he can to strengthen them, mind you, he is backed by the NRA.

As I said in a previous post, Trump is a very, very, dangerous individual and has done more to divide his country in 4 years than any of his predecessors have done in the last 100 years.

The problem is he was not defending anyone’s property at the time of the shooting he was sat on the floor after tripping. I guess no so brave when alone. If any of those approaching him had a gun he would not have been able to get up and walk through the police lines carrying his gun. The problem then becomes that those he is standing against arms themselves for protection and on it goes. The states do have different gun laws in one you cannot carry a flag but you can carry a gun or semi automatic rifle.
The second amendment they like to quote so often does give them the right to bear arms but when introduced muskets were all the rage. The solution is to keep it but for muskets only.
If you take Florida you can shoot somebody by quoting the stand your ground law which allows the use of deadly force if you believe you are in danger. This has resulted in someone being shot through the door when they only wanted directions. The home owner did not recognise him so believed he was a robber and killed him. A parking dispute arose which resulted in a scuffle, the man losing the fight drew a gun and shot the unarmed driver dead and once again quoted the above.

The USA appears to be a seriously mixed up country led by a madman - and yet they still consider themselves leaders of the free world. Crazy.
