Sorry. Future presidents need to know that can’t just go down the path of launching assaults on democracy if they lose. Figurative and literal.

Future contracts is one thing. Early termination is another. Termination for convenience would be super chilling. Let’s see the contract language and let’s see the rationale for breaking the contract.
Emotion doesn’t matter.

We are a vindictive country.
When its symbols are attacked. That's why far more outrage over this than the BLM fires. That's why the heavy response after 9/11. We go full rage mode when our symbols are attacked.
Please love yourself.

Agreed. And we should.

That’s right. But it’s logical to not go the other extreme and not care about lessor violence and in many cases encourage it.

You don't think the BLM riots attacked our symbols?

Why so few people were outraged, let alone cared, about entire businesses being burned to the ground, is because in the eyes of most Americans, no, no they didn't.
The Capitol the most obvious American symbol there is, and they were conducting a vote inside. That's going to hit home a lot harder than ten Papa John's getting torched.
I'm not placing a value judgment on that, I'm just saying that that's obviously how most people see it.
Please love yourself.

This. I agree 100%. It gets back to some of the other foreign threads. Not all crimes are equal, even if on the surface they are. Right or wrong, some crimes are more equal than others

Agree but you called them both crimes and I don’t think that was what was communicated on the BLM protests.

No, it was more like people didn't care (out loud) because of skin color
Part of the way you can tell that people care is the invasion last Wednesday.

I don't know people who went in fear of expressing outrage. There were plenty of people here in the liberal stronghold of Massachusetts who said they didn't approve. I imagine some of the language used in Arkansas and Alabama, for example, may have been even stronger.
I was only joking

I'm not going to lose my job if I say the New England Patriots are a bunch of cheaters.
Bill Belichick might.

Put it this way, there was plenty of outrage being expressed by the people I work with.
They didn't phone up random black people and say it. Like anything controversial, you had to be a bit careful of who you spoke to.
I once upset a big group of colleagues in Boston who it turns out are devout Roman Catholics when I made an ill-considered remark about the morning-after pill.
-
Not sure about the racism. I haven't heard much of that around here. However, they sure didn't like my remarks about the morning after pill.
Left-footers, one and all.

Trump resigned from the Trump organization in 2016. NYC is canceling contracts because of alleged criminal activity from an ex-employee? Or are they alleging that Eric or Donald Jr. are guilty of criminal behavior?
I'd love to be a Trump attorney for this case...
