And now everyone is burning down Confederate slave markets and police stations and the guy who told you America was going to be GREAT again is nowhere to be found. Lmfao.
Uh, I told you Trump was going to be significant in 2015, because he was the only one to address illegal immigration and trade. That's still the case, and that's why he's still likely to win.
It's your neighborhoods that are burning down, not mine. Watts and Detroit never recovered. Minneapolis is headed that way now too.

All the people who care about the riots in America do not give a shit about millions of people in Hong Kong losing their rights. That's why I assume this whole thing is political. The Democrats even used covid to let the criminals out of jail. I'm pretty sure that voters aren't going to be thanking them for that.
Zionist Nationalist wrote:It's so bizarre seeing the banking and corporate world manipulate a population into thinking they're fighting some establishment.
I don't think they expected nationwide riots. I've been saying that for a month now, because you can't just throw 40M people out of work and not have problems. The rioters in LA decided to go to Santa Monica and loot stores there. The residents have already drafted a recall petition for their mayor. Rich liberals will be voting for law and order in November. Insurance companies will be withdrawing political support from weak mayors too. They are going to be facing some nasty losses.

I find it amazing that people think that they can effect change without actually changing who they vote for. It's mystifying.

It's the urban Democrat political machine that's doing that. You can whine about it all you want, but that's the fact. It may change. After the LA riots, the city elected Richard Riordan. After the NYC riots, the city elected Rudy Giuliani. After the riots in 1968, the country elected Nixon. Democrats aren't keeping their constituents safe.

Wat0n wrote:If he delivers, it's a coup.
Not exactly. The president does have that authority. Bush federalized National Guard troops in California during the LA riots. Eisenhower did too to enforce school desegregation. Troops are not allowed to enforce basic laws, but they can put down insurrections and rebellions.
US Constitution wrote:The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
...
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Basically, the president has the authority to suppress rebellions and insurrections, and that is what we're seeing now. The president announced today that he would do that. I suggest he starts with Lafayette park first, and then move on to Minneapolis. It's going to take 100k troops on the streets. It's not going to be a small use of force.

If the pols and the media were being honest. They weren't then, and they certainly aren't now. Joe Biden represents free trade with China, open borders, plenty of corruption, etc. People who voted for Trump have not changed their minds on those issues. The Democrats could have mirrored Trump on those issues and tried to win back white working class voters. Do you think blacks rioting is going to make them say, "Gee! Maybe I should vote for Joe Biden and open borders and free trade while there are 40M people unemployed!" I don't think that's going to happen.
JohnRawls wrote:To this degree, Bidens win is predictable.
You are forgetting all of the things he has said in the primaries. For example, he says he's coming to take away people's AR-15s. Not a good look after these riots when the police and the national guard can't get the job done.

Exactly. They are also all union, all make contributions to the party. They all play on the same team. It's pay to play. Chauvin will see prison though. He's a sacrificial pawn in the larger scheme of things.

Is that white enough for you?

I think they are giving you their hopes, not their analysis. Mayors that allow riots are often replaced.
JohnRawls wrote:You might have a point IF Trump wasn't partially responsible for what is happening. The problem with your argument is that any sane person understands that Trump is at fault for the riots on many levels.
He's not at fault at all. To stop them, he has to declare an emergency and federalize national guard troop overriding governors and mayors. It's a last responder action, not a first responder action.
JohnRawls wrote:May be Trump was slow to react, may be there was no ill intent. A fuck up is still a fuck up.
First responders are the police. Second responders are the national guard. If they can't handle it, they are the ones who fucked up. The president doesn't put down riots unless it's absolutely necessary, and it is becoming necessary because the governors (mostly Democrats) are failing to get it done.

Not least of the reason why being because it has nothing to do with George Floyd and his murder, and everything to do with Anarchism and a destructive and insane Nihilism that lurks at the very core of Liberalism.
Anybody who doesn't see this clearly has a burned out conscience and is morally blind and corrupt as a responsible citizen and even as a human being.
They see it clear as day, but they think that any sort of trouble will get people to abandon Trump. Keep in mind, Democrats started letting people out of prison just before this so that prisoners didn't catch covid. Voters will not be happy about this. There have already been murders unrelated to the riots from prisoners released. The break down of law and order is right at the feet of the Democrats. It happened in 1968 and 1992. I spent my childhood in Berkeley, CA. Ronald Reagan got elected the year I was born, because the Democrats failed to keep the peace. This type of thing doesn't work out for them, but each generation has to learn that lesson again.

That is absolutely correct. That's one of the first things Giuliani did following the Abner Louima incident.

Ugghhh... That's troubling, because Fentanyl does depress the respiratory system and using it recreationally is illegal. Clearly the cop is guilty, but it's going to be fucked if this guy walks.

It’s sad that autopsy reports have to change to pander to dumb violent people 
They will have to make the jury watch that entire video and focus on the fact that the knee on the neck was unnecessary. With Fentanyl in his system, they will be claiming they didn't know he was on a depressant and that his illegal drug use contributed to his death (which it probably did, but it still doesn't justify Chauvin's actions).
Drlee wrote:Now Trump is threatening to send in the army where the governors are refusing to call out the national guard. The sad thing is that Trump supporters are simply too unintelligent to realize that he can't do that.
Eisenhower did just that to enforce desgregation in Little Rock. George H.W. Bush did it during the 1992 LA Riots.
XogGyux wrote:How is it possible that the police/prosecution side of this is still playing shenanigans. I am a cautious person to jump to conclusions but come on, there is fucking video evidence...
It's the urban Democratic party machine. They take care of their own. It's pretty much organized crime, and a heavy, heavy dose of virtue signalling that fools so many people. Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne and was never charged. Everybody knows it. Joe Biden digitally raped Tara Reade. She kept it quiet for years and never pressed charges. It's a pay to play gig. Good paying government jobs, pensions, etc.

Yep. That's why Democrats ended up voting for Reagan, Nixon and Bush I.

Yes, but lawyers and expert witnesses and an intimidated jury play a role too. That's why I say this stuff has to be done carefully. Chavin gets a jury of his peers, not Floyds.

This is what supporters of the Democratic party don't get, because they really believe all the virtue signaling and political correctness. The first thing the defense will do is motion for a change of venue. Remember the Rodney King cops were tried in Simi Valley not LA. In that case, the riots happened after the verdict. In this case, they riots happened before the trial.

He's right. There is a night and day difference between the rioters and the protesters. Protesters go to city hall or the police station. Rioters go to the mall and the downtown stores.

This is why you don't overcharge, though. Hell, even Rush Limbaugh said today that these guys should be charged with first degree murder. He comes from a family of lawyers. He should know straight away that they would probably walk on such charges. These cops will practice crying on cue, while expert witnesses will talk about all the famous people who have died speed balling and the danger of fentanyl and methamphetamine interactions. You guys love this political machine too much to see what it is and how it works.

I've got a crying woman I've been dealing with all day. That's the state of a lot of people around the country. Basically, the government has to let enough innocent people get killed so that they can justify coming in with the military. Rioters blocking firefighers, etc. with babies inside burning buildings is just the sort of footage they need so that there will be the political will to shoot the rioters. If the government has to set the fire itself and dress up as Antifa and sacrifice a baby, they'll do it.
