I wasn’t afraid of the virus. 

I was afraid of people. 

I thought there could be riots of terrorized and ill prepared hungry people looting stores and their neighbors for food.

we didn’t get that.

We got Antifa instead.

and weirdly , we got a whole bunch of media types trying to convince people that these Antifa riots are some how not Antifa, but the result of heretofore never heard of “far right wing groups” infiltrating peaceful “protests” by sweet little doe eyed Antifa innocents.

But haven't you heard?  They are "white supremacists" now. And now that that's the "official" line from the media, the Dems are doing somersaults about how all those "infiltrators" were sent out by Drumpfhitler and Barrimmler on orders of Putin to created chaos and justify martial law and the suspension of the elections.  No, really.  That's what they're saying.

I will be talking to some friends over the next few weeks about how when the community really needed police protection, the politicians pulled the cops out of the community.

Really wet yesterday, but that didn't put a damper on anarchists and Pantifa from running amok in Seattle.

Merely damp this morning, but puts the kibosh on yard work. Did get all my bills paid this morning. Thank you God, I have a work at home job.

Yesterday I bought and installed in window AC units for the kids rooms. So I accomplished something around house.

As if white supremacists would be protesting the death of a black man. The media has gone through the rabbit hole now, and are losing more and more credibility with people with functioning brain cells.

False flag operation.  All those white faces were obviously white supremacists because all white people are white supremacists and racists. And they were sent by Barr to stir up shit so Drumpf could send in the army to shoot black people.

And since a whole bunch of leftist Hollywood types have set up “legal defense funds“ for the arrested rioters, this “literally begs the question”: why are these Hollywood leftists supporting white supremacists?

They say it that way because it sounds more "ethnic" -- like saying "Knickerrrrrr-AHHHHHHHHH-gwah."  

Since it was originally German, the accent would be on the first syllable.

Most Americans, I think, pronounce it "Knicker-agwah," but the oh-so-international NPR folks go for the BBC-style "Knee-car-AHG-youwah."

Antifa, pantifa, looting thugs

Dragging home loot fast as it can be drug

When they get it home, back out of houses they pour

And head to the mall so they can loot some more.

how to pronounce Antifa: 

Antifa is pronounced “Scum”, (rimes with dumb). Alternately, depending on regional dialects, it can be pronounced as “Filth”.

He is a magnificent bastard in that regard.

If the RNC had any brains, they'd be putting together ads showing white Pantyfa douchewaffles attacking black-owned businesses with cuts of black business owners bemoaning their losses.

Kurt Schlichter on the Antifa terrorist designation:

“When the first of these little trust fund sissies figures out he’s not walking out of his cell after 20 minutes with a $50 fine but looking at five years in Leavenworth on a Fed rap, he’ll squeal on his comrades. This is an opportunity to destroy Antifa root and branch, and to eliminate the armed wing of the Democrat party. Forever.”
