Well, I see the super right faction is set in stone with blinders on here.
Prolly useless to even post in this forum, as either you're all ultra right, or the other more moderate posters are afraid of a confrontation and just don't post, for fear of the pile on mentality. What part of "Trump sent US Troops to Washington to clear a peaceful demonstration from a park" don't you get? Is that something that you condone, AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MONUMENTS. All for a photo op to hold a bible upside down. I voted for him, but you do that, not only to peaceful protesters, but make US troops who prolly didn't want to be there for that purpose, you lose my vote. The guy has turned into an absolute powerless joke that world leaders now laugh at. I just can't believe you guys... |

Jeff,
Generally, I don't watch the news. What I do know is that the MSM is so biased against Trump, that they criticize everything that he does, or does not do. A lot of people seem to believe the MSM, which just makes everything worse. With all the BLM crap, the police seem to be powerless, almost afraid to do their jobs, which is maintaining the peace. I'm OK with Trump calling in the National Guard and/or the Army to maintain the peace. The rioting, looting, vandalism and removal of statues is absolutely disgusting, and the perps should be arrested, charged, tried and punished. If the Army is used to arrest the perps, I'm good with that. Is Trump perfect? Of course not. But neither am I, and neither is anyone else on this board. Could any one of us do a better job as Commander In Chief? I doubt it. Would any one of us be as hated by the Dems? Probably. The hatred by the Dems is simply because they didn't win the election in '16, and not because Trump won. |

My opinion is you've lost your way. You used to be cool and "Got" the idea. Now all I hear is whining about what Trump does. And speaking of blinders, what part of destroying statues is a "Peaceful Protest". Most of the "Peaceful Protests" I've seen include looting and burning shit. Get the fukk outta here with that peaceful protest bullshit. |

Go take a boat ride, snag a fish or two, throw out a crab pot, kick back with a few brewski's, relax. All of this political back and forth is way, way above our pay grades here.

don't recall seeing these type of stories about:
Obama Hillary Pelosi Schumer or anyone else with a D after their name. so that should tell you something about the bias in "reporting"/"inventing" stories. they are full of unnamed sources, speculation, and just pure guessing. barely worthy material for the bird cage. might make decent fire starter. |

Are those fake too ? Trump's Tweets, as of late, are totally toothless and way beyond the realm of what is really going on in America today. His dog & pony show is finally being called out for what it is. As far as the protesters in Lafayette Park, I watched that on live TV and didn't need any commentary. Protecting monuments and personal property is one thing, Nazi tactics on American citizens that are gathering peacefully is another. I'm not the only one who perceived that action in that way. |

the other side is just as guilty of saying dumb or hateful things, but they get a pass. they claim that the GOP wants to push grandma off the cliff. that if you are too old, then you just get a pain pill and go home an die (Obama). recall the lies surrounding the ACA from Obama, and he got a total pass on those. or lately Pelosi claiming that if her bill about police had been law, then Mr. Floyd would not have been killed. lies and unfounded speculation. but not a peep from the press about the fecklessness of the Dems. yes, Trump is a different cup of tea. but after too many years of "just say nice things and the Dems will like you", he put a wrench in those gears. that game got the GOP nothing. He's playing just as hard as they are, but now you get to see the messy way policy is made and laws are created. before, this was all done in closed rooms, with polite summaries given to the public after they had called the other side nasty names. now it's out for everyone to see. and it's not pretty. the Dems play for keeps and they play the game hard. At least Trump is matching them presently. if all this upsets you, every radio, computer, and TV has an OFF button. i'm headed to the shop shortly to build a display box. |

Remember Obama's 'red line?' Well, that was Trump's red line. No more destroying our history. You've got to ask yourself, "Why am I on the side of people who not only want to destroy my history and heritage, but hate straight white men just like me?" Maybe you missed the thread where the same folks vandalized the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue in Austin? They destroyed a statue of an actual abolitionist who helped slaves escape. They destroyed statues of Catholic saints. They spray painted rock formations at Red Rocks. How, exactly, is Red Rocks offensive to anyone? They actually went back and RE-VANDALIZED St. John's Church. This is about tearing down the country, and pitting neighbor against neighbor. This is Marxists trying to foment conflict and insurrection. Why is it we have to have armed guards in front of any meaningful United States landmark? Is that really the kind of country you want to live in? Somebody has to stand up and say, "No more. This is wrong, and won't be allowed to continue." Someone has to be the adult, and so far, the only adult in the room seems to be Trump. |

Every news source WANTS him to lose except FOX. Only half of FOX wants him to lose.
Most of DC wants him to quit/lose because he is upsetting centuries of "how we do it here" At least half of the population wants him to quit/lose because they didn't think he should have won in the first place and he isn't Obama. That only leaves the Americans. Hopefully we are enough to keep him there. |

OK, let's go with that. Then we can't let the same useful idiots who allowed themselves to be used as a diversion for the arsonists and looters to get close to any important landmarks going forward. It's just too dangerous. You'll note that we never see the 'peaceful' protestors' actually stopping the looters, arsonists, and rioters. Why is that? If you were trying to make a peaceful statement, and here's some asshole destroying shit, wouldn't you and the other 'peaceful protestors' stop the asshole destroying shit? If that happened, we wouldn't be here talking about it right now. Cities wouldn't have been burnt down. Statues would still be up. The SRV statue wouldn't be ****ed up right now. See where I'm going with this?

It is FAR too late now, but the clearest message that could have been sent was for 10 officers to immediately jump on the first person that threw a water bottle, a brick, broke a window etc. That says loudly " You will not get away with this". Instead they were told, or chose, to just let it happen. Now the genie is out of the bottle and there is no return. Edit: There is one option that could be effective. The cities collaborate and decide at midnight July 1st. it ends. Every officer, National Guard, Security Guard, mall cop, crosswalk Guard, School police officer, etc, starts in the center of town and expands out arresting, fighting, tasing, shooting their way in an expanding perimeter until the rats are gone. Come back the next night and wait. Do it until they stop coming back. States/cities have had NO ISSUE violating the Constitution for the "alleged" health crisis. Apply the same to the safety crisis. It is downright PATHETIC that a mom gets arrested on a play ground for letting her kids play, while a guy smashing windows and stealing shit, walks away. |
