Thought to myself - these are $400-500K homes and you'd never see those signs on similarly priced homes in Arlington or Lakeland. Different worlds.

As in diametrically opposed different.

The folks who own those homes, whether or not they believe in BLM, think it will protect them when the mobs come. Others in other cities found out that it doesn't really matter and their properties got destroyed in the violence, support signs or not.

I truly miss 38104. I want one of those cottage style houses behind Slider Inn. I like Bartlett fine because it's convenient for work and getting around...but I'd love to get back to midtown.

Carry on...

Trump nominations - no new wars and mid east peace deals.

BLM nomination - burning down neighborhoods, violent attacks on shopkeepers, defending rapists, furthering lies to destroy America.

Carry on.

Or they simply want to be seen as supporting whatever is trendy today, IOW's woke. I think there's a term for that.

Well, it is the epicenter for all things gay so...

Next up...Black Panthers.

It's the Nobel "mostly peace" prize sponsored by CNN.

Just when I think you're dumber than a box of rocks you impress me by being even more stupid than previously thought. Trump actually brokered several Middle Eastern peace deals, something that would be worthy of, oh, a Nobel Peace Prize.

If you want to point out how they're basically meaningless awards you can point to Odumbo winning one for the mere fact that he was half black.

Troll harder next time, clown.

Dude, the point is that there is no criteria for who you can nominate...it has nothing to do with trump. Additionally, the same guy who nominated trump this past year also nominated him the prior year for even less in the way of an accomplishment.

Obama got nominated and actually won, for nothing...which I have previously stated.

Get a clue before making a fool on yourself.

Yup. Exactly.

Jared Kushner (and one of his aides) was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday by Alan Dershowitz of all people. Dershowitz can nominate people he chooses because.......drum roll........

because he is a professor emeritus at the Harvard Law School.

Stacey Abrams was nominated as well. Democrats everywhere appreciate the work she has done in Georgia to bring out the vote, but I'm not aware of any one single thing she has ever done to help promote peace in the world.

She is single-handedly responsible for food shortages around the world.

Yeah, she most likely single handedly delivered Georgia for Biden and the senate (with an assist from trump), but I fail to see what that has to do with world peace.
