    If the government actually paid teachers and cops commensurately with respect to the responsibility and value of their jobs, they would be much more likely to attract higher quality candidates.

    And in proportion, as the quality of the people who are hired to those positions increases, the residual effects to our culture/society would also increase exponentially, and it probably wouldn't take that long to see the results.


    ...as the saying goes, in most cases, "you get what you pay for".

    I mentioned change and addressing corruption and there are those who are petitioning defunding police. There are those extreme left wingers (yes there are) that want a fight with police anytime, anyplace. If the rest of this campaign is about cops and believe it, Joe is going to have pressure to make it so, and painting a perception that they are all bad apples, that will hurt Joe. He needs to stay on point with regard to his plans to unite and prosper.

    That does have a ring to it. How about, Hey Joe where you going with that gun in your hand?

    People say a lot of things though and i don't get caught up in a small minority view point. There are extreme left wingers just as there are extreme right wingers and in fact, it was shown that the people were claiming to be antifa inciting some of this were actually right wing extremists so becareful who you point the fingers at as it's not always as obvious as you think. With trump around, it is very unlikely Biden will say anything as stupid as trump does on a daily basis. Today trump called the democrastic govenor of Maine a dictator. Great way to help unite a country and his MO during any crisis was always to attack the democrates and praise the republicans regardless of what is being said or done.

    Great choice.
    If she were only a little younger I could go for Madeleine Albright. Now there's a bright woman.

    I only point fingers at those I believe are hate motivated regardless of the affiliations. Remember, my granddaughter while walking downtown with her mother and a friend had an ANTIFA nut try and pulling at her Youth for Christ T Shirt she had on, spewing crap at all there of them. Cup, these are the same type that loot peoples business and want to hurt innocent bystanders. I could care less what Trump comes with Ive tuned him out but Im interested in what Joe comes with.

    I know you had issues with antifa people with your granddaughter, but that doesn't make them worse than the proud boys or any of the other right wing extremists that have done just as much damage. That's all I am saying.

    Who said anything about proud boys or right wingers? They are all idiots in my books and the ones that force themselves and ways on other people with violence should be singled out for who they are.

    ANTIFA is not an organized group so you're going to have some fringe types mixed in.

    I know, they want to stay anonymous but they are fairly organized in Portland, Rose City Antifa.
    These radicle groups that destruct and hurt need to be singled out for their crimes.

    I will never enjoy something more than when Trump loses in the fall. It will be glorious. And when Bitch McConnell goes. And Lindsay Graham. And Dildo Mike pence. I’m throwing a fucking rager and you’re all invited even though I don’t know any of you. Except Maris. He ain’t invited.

    You should agree that any group regardless of when where that destructs and hurts people should be singled out.

    They have no leadership other than guys like you or me that posses a bullhorn.
    There's no organization. It's all up to who has the loudest voice at that particular time.

    Check out their web site
    They have a mission statement
    I realize what your saying but In order to join to need to pass criteria by submitting information.
    They want to be underground militia
    That’s cool they have right to organize and act out like other militias do, but If any show up on my block with the intend to harm and destroy they get their asses kicked real bad.
