What happens if I go to New Zealand?
I am under house arrest for 2 weeks. That is locked down.

The residents and visitors (after 2 weeks quarantine) are not
in any way locked down. And the quarantine is _why_ they're not
locked down.

See we just need a wall ;-)
They have an ocean.
It is also a country smaller than most of our states.

So they did a better job with immigration and quarantine.
They also still have a pretty big part of the economy shut down.

This isn't EU either. The average American carries around a whole lot
of "**** You" and has a proud tradition of telling the government to
**** off. That is why we kicked out the king a couple hundred years
ago.
We will get over this, more like Sweden than Korea.
Hide in your safe place until it's over. You will be OK.

Is it any wonder that other countries get the impression that Americans
are loud and cocky when they hear folk like you belch out stuff like that.
I'm sure that most Americans are not like that, at least the ones I've
met weren't, you do your country no favours at all.

What else could you call the 45 days of rioting in our cities that
Joyce and Bob are praising? They are destroying any vestige of
government authority that they can find.

What have I praised? 1 + 1 = 6 again.

I'm condemning the use of secret police. Try to keep up!


I saw something this morning, If Trump sends them to Philadelphia the
prosecutor is saying he will have them arrested. Police arresting
police. Should be fun to watch.

Maybe Trump should just withhold federal funds to clean up the mess
and bill the city for and damage to federal property. If they don't
want any federal help, don't give them any.


They have made it very clear they don't want trumps kind of "help". The
feds are just there to riot.

OK with me,

It doesn't really matter if it's Ok with you, does it?

Pull out and the next time the people of Portland need to
go to the federal courthouse, social security office or post office,
they can drive to Boise.

Or just go downtown like they always have. Are you spooked by spray paint?

In portland the court house is boarded up because of previous
attacks.. You missed the point tho. If they don't want the feds, pull
them out, all of them.

If by "feds" you mean the secret police, hell yes, pull them out before
someone gets hurt. Sooner or later, there's going to be an escalation
between the legitimate authorities and the secret police. I'm not
predicting who will win in that fight, but either way it won't end well. So
yes, pull them out. Once things settle down, do an investigation to find
out who sent them in the first place, and imprison his ass. Sound good?

But wait, just today Trump was threatening to send something like 65,000
*more* secret police to cities across America. Losing badly in the polls,
his desperate attempt to turn things around seems to be to cause multiple
major confrontations in cities across America, then he'll try to position
himself as the only person who can get us out of the mess that he has
created. It's a standard authoritarian/dictator move.


Now I see the BLM people want to defund the police in Chicago.

Sorry, I had to snip the rest. To call it incoherent rambling would be an
understatement.
