    Another post condoning and encouraging the violence. It's not Trump's America. It's YOUR America.

    Do you know the difference between a normative and positive statement?

    Which type of statement is this from MLK: "riots are the language of the unheard".

    you stupidly misinterpret this to mean all rioters must be 'unheard' as you make no explanation for how these rioters are unheard.

    misinterpreting MLK is a pretty shitty way to treat MLK.

    Yes, claiming to be the law and order president when there has been months and months of civil unrest under your leadership defies logic. Then when the argument is “well I can’t do anything if the cities don’t ask” proves the very point, that Trump isn’t the law and order President, that he cannot do anything, that it is up to the mayors.

    So the whole “law and order President” is like everything else out of Trump’s mouth, smoke and mirrors at best and at worst flat out lies.

    Also if you think the last case of civil unrest is in Portland, then you are sadly mistaken. Just this week there has been rioting, protesting and looting in Chicago... and there will be more.

    You are missing the forrest for the trees. The incompetence of Gov. Brown and Mayor Wheeler are on full display here.
    Trump should not have to step in and has made at least two offers to send help.
    Who is at fault again?

    Is there a video with more context? Either way, glad the cops got to him and glad he complied when they did. From what I would tell it didn't look like he wanted to actually shoot anyone. If he has a concealed license that will be reviewed. I don't have one but from what I understand anytime you brandish your weapon the incident is reviewed.

    The good news is that nobody was seriously injured, right?

    More importantly, Trump doesn't have to help if the Governors do the job they are elected to do - protect the public. It's obviously political posturing. I wonder if these governors' actions are being coordinated by someone or some group.

    If you have a gun and are out there provoking people - your right to use lethal force in self-defense should be forfeited.

    A gun should not be an enabler to violent self-defense - the law needs to reflect that.

    Trump is running on saying he will end the unrest... unrest that has happened on his watch... yet deflects blame by saying there is nothing he can do about it as President... it
    Is absurd, he cannot have it both ways.

    I am not in Portland so I cannot say exactly what the mood of the city is. What I can say is if the governor or mayor isn’t doing a good job, I fully support removing them from office regardless of political party.

    What I can speak on is the President and it isn’t coincidence this is all happening under his rule. He is reaping what he has sown. A lot of people are sick of his racist administration, his inflammatory comments and divisiveness. A lot of people are fed up with him and what he champions.

    So while I don’t support anyone bringing guns to protests and have no interest in attacking anyone, I am not at all surprised this is where we are at.

    I forgot who it was that made a good point about the President not having as much power as many people perceive as envisioned ...it’s kinda like the NFL where the owners run the team and the teams are the states , owners the governors and commissioner is the President. So success/ failure is mainly a perception rather than reality . This was in D&D some time ago several months

    I see too often that it’s referred to as people say he’s racist but the supportive evidence is very weak . Inflammatory comments and divisiveness can be said about both sides

    You understand that the president has the most powerful bullhorn/bully pulpit on the planet right?

    Just so you understand the scope of how divisive the current man holding the office is, here is a unprecedented statement by his very own secretary of defense:

    "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children." - General Mattis.

    Trust me when I say that many of my ultra right wing Trump bootlicker former peers had a conniption fit when they heard this from Mattis because as Marines they worship the man.

    Also keep in mind that is extremely unique as a prominent cabinet members of an adminisration hardly ever has such explicit condemnation of the president they served.

    At a certain point I wonder if trolls post something like this to bait posters into wasting time generating long nuanced lists that you know you'll never sincerely care to read or take into consideration?

    I mean how many times does a right wing troll such as yourself post these type of declarations or questions about "How is Trump racist" followed by an exhasitive list before someone has to come to a conclusion that people like you are posting in bad faith?

    Why do Trumpers think ISIS like armed militia caravans roaring through US cities is good politics when they are trying to a run a campaign to scare the white suburban people by presenting the same type of imagery but with scary Black people?

    Do they not get that many the suburban voters maybe just don’t want a freaking Middle East like conflict coming to their neighborhood regardless?

    Yeah , act its all his fault but refuse any federal assistance (accept begging for money to rebuild) .... while you do nothing but watch your city burn , Yep , Its all his fault!

    Complete and total dereliction of duty by those leaders .... Can't have Trump taking credit for those federal forces stopping the madness line in Chicago - That had to burn Lightfoot's ass .... but she did it , I have to give her credit. She may have to do it again.

    As for Trump being the "Law and order president" - That is in terms of supporting law enforcement rather than defunding them along with supportive legislation while not allowing Pelosi a free run to the endzone with any legislation of her own.




    Nope , It wont be the last instance of civil unrest , There will be lots more rioting , burning , looting and probably killings but you know what ? The common theme will be that those cities and states are run by Democrats.

    If you don't think voters are paying attention to their doing one thing and saying another , you are sadly mistaken. They damn well know that these local leaders are playing political games with their homes , businesses and lives and they will damn sure pay for it come election time.


    Honestly , I don't care who win's this presidential election as long as the GOP holds the senate which puts a stop to all far left , well , what we would have called far left a month or two ago anyway in the AOC wing agenda of GND , defund police , free everything and so on while keeping Biden & Harris from putting some wacky nutjob on the SCOTUS to replace RBG , they'll have to nominate a moderate.
