I really don't understand the "payment" mentality. I know it is pervasive today. Something my grandfather taught me, if you can't pay for it, don't buy it. I borrow money for business, I have never borrowed money for personal items. Exception was my pickup. If I borrowed from Chrysler, 1,000 was taken off the price. After the penalty period for repayment expired, the sucker was paid off.

Regarding the narrative of this thread I think it is safe to say NO, Trump will not survive. I am going to predict he will not be reelected. Any counter narratives? Yep, President Trump will be re-elected.

We had a similar experience here in NZ. On the positive side the Chinese are under represented in may areas such as prison, social welfare payments and over represented in areas such as tax payment and level of education. House prices are a function of supply so a left leaning local authorities aiming to constrain city size to reduce carbon foot print end up generating a level of housing poverty that then generates votes for the same said left leaning local authorities. what to do?? Bring in more Chinese.

During P.M. hours of July 15, 2017, Mohamed Noor, a Somali Muslim, and an officer with the Minneapolis Police Department, drew his weapon, leaned across the squad car he was riding in, and shot Justine Damond multiple times through the open driver's window. Noor killed the 40 year old woman, who was wearing nothing but a night gown. In 21 months on the force, the "veteran" Noor, accumulated three complaints filed by women charging excess force, and he was being sued by a fourth woman for false imprisonment, assault and battery while on duty. No pattern there, right? I had to go to an Australian newspaper to get the fact that Noor shot Damond multiple times. A British newspaper confirmed the fact. If any U.S. media outlets reported that Noor fired multiple shots, I miss that news. Enlighten me.
After killing Justine Damond with multiple gunshots to her chest and abdomen, Noor was placed on administrative while Mayor Betsy Hodges and city leaders decided what to do with their Pet, Diverse, Trigger Happy, Muslim.
After Noor killed Damond, the Minneapolis Star Tribune learned that the Her Honor, the Mayor, a card carrying member of the Democratic Party, had the police department fast track Noor's recruit training so he could be deployed to "Serve and Protect", a status that added to the Mayor's goal of diversity in the police department. Minneapolis officials wanted a Somali Muslim on the police force and on the street so bad, they fast tracked Noor's training, and kept him on the street in spite of actions would have got a white officer fired.
A few days after the killing, Chief of Police JaneƩ Harteau told reporters at a press conference, "Justine didn't have to die...The death of Justine should not have happened." Chief Harteau dared to indirectly criticize the Mayor's Diverse Pet Muslim, so the Mayor fired Harteau.
Noor killed Justine Damond on July 15, 2017. To avoid charges of Islamophobia, the Mayor, the Police Department, and the Hennepin County Prosecutor, diddled with the Noor case for almost two years before Quick Draw was brought to trial.
Kathryn Quaintance, the presiding judge, seemed to be sympathetic to Noor. During the sentencing hearing, Quaintance said, "Good people sometimes do bad things." Got that? Judge Kathryn Quaintance, no doubt a left leaning Democrat, the product of a Left Wing political system, pronounced Noor a good man that did a bad thing. Kind of like when your kid steals a cookie from the cookie jar before supper. A stern taking to is appropriate.
No, judge, sometimes bad people pose as good people, fool brain dead politicians, and when given authority, the bad comes out. A good woman called 911 seeking help, and a bad, but Diverse man, shot her down in cold blood.
In their quest to make their Liberal Bones using diversity, Minneapolis city leaders, blinded by their Left Wing bias, failed to recognize the possible consequences of hiring Mohamed Noor, the same way the voters of Minnesota's 5th congressional district failed to recognize the evil inside Ilhan Omar when they voted her into the U.S. House of Representatives.
The murder of Justine Damond was the result of hiring an individual that was unfit to be a police officer. The murder of Justine Damond was the direct result of the Left's insane goal of diversity at all costs.
In November of 2017, fed up Minneapolis voters booted Betsy Hodges from office. Unfortunately, those same voters elected Jacob Frey, the morally deficient Democrat that is leading Minneapolis during the current police crisis.
After Noorās conviction, Minneapolis city leaders quickly settled a wrongful death suit filed by Justine Damond's family for $20 million dollars. That is one of the largest settlements paid in a wrongful death suit involving a police killing since George Washington started shooting British soldiers.
Democrats hate the Constitutional restraints placed on government power, power they desperately want to arbitrarily exercise. That is an undisputable fact. Democrats want unrestrained power to control the life of every individual in the country. As an addendum to that will to power, Democrats hate the Rule of Law, and law enforcement at all levels. Democrats hate an independent and objective judiciary, and that is why Democrats seek ideological control of courts at all levels.
Democrats are a lawless mob by definition, and by mentality. Inside every Democrat is a looter crying to get out. Riots across the country prove that.
If you dispute the charge that Democrats are a mob, go to You Tube, search Speakers Shouted Down, and observe "controversial" speakers routinely shouted down. The speakers shouted down are Conservative, the shouting mob, Far Left Democrats.
Consider the above facts. Consider the Far Left political climate in Minneapolis, and in Minnesota in general. Then consider how fast people can turn from peaceful citizens into a vengeful, blood thirsty mob. George Floyd proves my point. I'm not talking about the rioters that are looting and burning across the country, I'm talking about Conservatives that want Officer Derek Chauvin, the man with his knee on George Floyd's neck, hanged, drawn and quartered in the public square. It looks ugly, but I told relatives to hold judgement until the autopsy report came out. They did not receive my advice very well. I investigated police involved deaths. I ordered autopsies, and I signed death certificates based on the information in autopsy reports. The following information has come out since those conversations.
George Floyd tried to pass a counterfeit 20 dollar bill. Twice. In the same store. The store clerk that called 911 told the operator that Floyd "awfully drunk" and was "not in control of himself".
Security video from a business across the street from the store shows that Floyd fell twice which indicates he was under the influence of either drugs, or alcohol, or both.
The preliminary autopsy report established the Floyd had coronary artery disease, and hypertensive heart disease.
Hypertensive heart disease is the main cause of death associated with uncontrolled, or uncontrollable high blood pressure. Hypertensive heart disease is an umbrella designation that includes congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and left ventricular hypertrophy, which is an unnatural thickening of the heart muscle. Some of the common symptoms include, shortness of breath, and irregular pulse. Untreated, or untreatable hypertension, damages the kidneys which leads to kidney failure.
But, you say, the cop choked George Floyd. The video proves that.
The video is ugly, but it doesn't prove choking, and it doesn't prove murder.
There are only two ways to cause death with trauma to the neck. First, cut off the air supply to the brain. Second, cut off the blood supply to the brain.
Cutting off the air supply can only be achieved by collapsing the trachea. Collapsing the trachea to the point where air stops flowing causes massive, and visible trauma. Cartilage breaks. Blood vessels rupture and the resultant bleeding into the surrounding tissue causes deep bruising. Pressure to the neck to the point of cutting off blood flow through the carotid artery and jugular vein causes the same kind of deep tissue trauma. You don't have to be a pathologist to diagnose the trauma, you don't even have to be a physician. The trauma is obvious.
The autopsy conducted on George Floyd did not find any trauma associated with asphyxia or strangulation.
For you conspiracy theorists, and cop haters, the Forensic Pathologist that did the autopsy took photographs of the Floyd's neck before dissecting his neck. The pathologist took photographs after peeling back the skin. Folk, I can attest from witnessing neck dissections a thousand times of more, that while Floyd was black and bruising may be hard to see looking at his skin alone, we are all alike under the skin. Neck trauma under the skin is absolutely visible. You can't hide it.
And therein lies my advice to wait for the autopsy report before jumping to conclusions. The autopsy won't be complete until the pathologist puts tissue taken from every organ in George Floyd's body under a microscope and looks at the cell structure. Microscopic examination of Floyd's diseased heart and other organs will confirm the pathologist's observations at autopsy, or the slides will establish cardiac related disease much worse and wider spread than the gross autopsy revealed. Microscopic examination of Floyd's kidneys will in all probability reveal that his hypertensive heart disease damaged his kidneys at the cellular level.
Now add George Floyd's long term alcohol and drug use in the mix. Both acerbated his heart disease. If he was on drugs and alcohol at the time of his death, both contributed to his death.
But, you say, I am biased in favor of cops, because I used to be one, and I can't be objective. The cop clearly choked George Floyd. You saw the video.
I am biased, not in favor of cops, or prosecutors, or even defendants, I am biased in favor of the oath I took when I pinned on a badge, I am biased in favor of the rule of law, facts, I am biased in favor of justice, and I am biased in favor of the oath I swore each time I testified in court to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Truth makes the Rule of Law work. Truth delivers justice. Truth does not scare me; lies terrify me. I made truth a habit in my life.
Look at the political situation we are in. Democrats and a Never Trump Mafia are trying to destroy Donald Trump. They are relentless. Their entire campaign is based on a Big Lie.
Socialism in Nazi Germany was based on a Big Lie.
Socialism in Fascist Italy was based on a Big Lie.
Socialism in the Soviet Union was based on a Big Lie.
Socialism in China is based on a Big Lie.
Socialism in North Korea is based on a Big Lie.
Socialism in Cuba is based on a Big Lie.
The prosecution of four Baltimore police officers for the death of Freddie Gray was based on a Big Lie. The judge the heard the case did not just find the officers not guilty, the judge ruled that no crime occurred in the death. The judge in Black.
The 2016 prosecution of Minnesota Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez for the murder of Philando Castile was based on a Big Lie. Castile was armed, he was high on marijuana, and he failed to follow instructions to keep his hands visible. When he reached behind his back, Officer Yanez fired. A jury acquitted Yanez.
The Charges filed against General Michael Flynn were based on a Big Lie.
The impeachment of Donald Trump was based on a Big Lie.
The above charges have one thing in common; all were instigated under the jurisdiction of Democrats.
The Democrat Party is based on the a Big Lie.
In the George Floyd case, with Democrats in charge, Conservatives have swallowed the Big Lie whole.
Our system of justice required Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. At this point, the exact cause of what killed George Floyd is unknown, but he did NOT have and trauma to his neck, which means he NOT strangled, and he was NOT asphyxiated.
Look at the riots. See how far fake news has taken the Democrat Party? It's sick to see Conservatives support the fake news that the Left is using as an excuse to riot, loot and burn.

American National Security Is No Place for Amateurs nationalinterest.org/feature/american-national-security-no-place-amateurs-157936Ronald Reagan. He was a study in discipline. While he was happy to play the part of a genial older manāhe joked that, if trouble broke out, his aides should wake him, even āif Iām in a cabinet meetingāāhe was a stickler for preparation. He read the briefing books the National Security Council staff prepared for him like they were the gospel. His meetings with senior military officers were serious affairs for him. He wanted to take in every ounce of insight they could provide. For him, the military was not a prop for public displays of respect; it was a resource he relied uponāone he worked with to design a strategy he executed to perfection.....Joe Biden is cut from the same cloth. Now that one is funny.
