the Republicans would have said that it was the hand of the Almighty. But since they think theyve got God in their back pocket, theyll go secular and claim that it was only the wind.
Personally, I think that Someone was trying to send a message.

Reading back through Trump speech, noticed something that zoomed by me before. The only concrete anti-crime measure (apart from not letting Democrats win) is executive order creating 10-year sentence for statue destruction, which he says ended the statue-toppling. (1/2)

"Though on the sign it is written
Do not pluck these blossoms,
It is useless against the wind
Which cannot read."
