A big problem for America is "prolonging the stay" of Pelosi in Congress.

Law and order eh? Enforced say, by firing tear gas into a peaceful rally for a photo op?
Or shooting an unarmed civilian in the back seven times as he tries to enter his car? Kneeling on a man's neck until he dies? Is that what you mean by law enforcement, David? Unca Donal hasn't got much going for him but law and order? And there's some oportunistic vigilante shooting, looting and arson! Which needs to be separated from peaceful protest and treated as the separate issues they surely are. In the meantime, Unca Donal needs to keep doing what he is so good at, artful distraction and inflaming racial division? Making out that white supremists and the KKK are among the good guys? I'm sure you will agree? Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Saturday, 29 August 2020 10:37:03 AM

I assume you saw the video Alan. The guy had been ordered to stop. He continued to walk to the car, opened the door & reached in to get only he knew what.
So many cops have been shot & killed in the US that they are are a bit sensitive to people refusing a lawful order, & reaching for what could be an assault rifer. If your interpretation of that video is an innocent man shot by police you are obviously suffering from Trump derangement syndrome or are simply a radical ratbag, or both, looking for anything to justify your stupidity. Have a nice day won't you. Posted by Hasbeen, Saturday, 29 August 2020 10:57:46 AM

Law and order issues certainly do separate Republicans from Democrats, but if you ignore the Republican rhetoric for a few minutes and look at what the Democrats are actually trying to do, you'll see it makes a lot of sense.
Republicans think a tougher response is the answer. Democrats recognise that this is not the answer at all, and indeed is the cause of many of the problems. The real answer is a smarter response: the police should work to deescalate situations to prevent crowds from turning violent. Similarly, the situation where people are unwilling to report crime or fully cooperate with the police because of fear of deportation is undesirable. The police shouldn't let victimless crime hamper their efforts to deal with real crime. Posted by Aidan, Saturday, 29 August 2020 11:05:06 AM

The Biden Democrats are going to LOSE
unless they begin to be perceived as being on the side of Law and Order. Too many black demonstrations (for whatever good BLM intentions) are being seen by Whites as "rising crime and vilence, lack of safety, and defunding policing". This alienates the majority of voters (who are White Middle class Big C Conservatives). David Brooks on the PBS NewsHour discusses this very issue here http://youtu.be/WvvbWWSBmXc?t=37m05s Posted by plantagenet, Saturday, 29 August 2020 3:52:20 PM

David, as a wordsmith advocating for Unca Donal, your contribution is, I believe, the most outrageous risible rubbish and that is, I believe high praise indeed, in context?
You'll have a nice day now, y'hear.
