Well, that was one users exaggeration, but the core message is what we're talking about here.
Hopefully it doesn’t come to that but what are we supposed to do? Let the rioters keep destroying cities? Something has to be done.
Angry dragon?
Angry Dragon
Honestly I thought @Dormac was less of a degenerate than that. Now he's starting to grow on me.
you take things too literal dicktales
There was a video that went around the Internet in the early 2000’s of three US soldiers explaining all there moves to a foreign military man who I assume was there guide or something and it was the funniest shit. I’ve spent hours trying to find it before and was unsuccessful. I wish I could find it because y’all would find it really funny. It was the first time I had heard of the dirty sanchez or angry dragon.
Maybe, but maybe our politicians shouldn't say such stupid and extreme things.
Do you know who said this?
"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere"
What has Trump said that has you so upset? "Drink Bleach"
What's your point? Maxine Waters was trying to make a statement about the administration putting children in cages... Tom Cotton was making blanket statements about killing Americans(whether he meant it literally or not doesn't matter in this context).
Not really two comparable scenarios. Making a scene vs killing Americans... hmm, let's see which is worse.
Why does it matter anyway? That's totally irrelevant to the conversation.
My point is you get emotional with everything Trump (Republicans) say - Couple pages back you got upset because he told the Weak Azz Governors to grow a pair & control their large cities to stop this sh!t. You seemed like you didn't like him calling them out...he was being to mean to them

Definitely not getting emotional, I'm just pointing out when these guys making really stupid statements.
Who thinks it's smart to come out and say you want to use a tactic that's considered a war crime to deal with protestors? Whether you're being literal or not doesn't matter, it's not what good leaders do. I've posted before I've met Cotton at least 6-7 times in his office in DC so I don't like the guy anyway, this just furthers that point.
Well President Trump just said the governors and mayors better make it stop immediately or he will. Let’s hope the riots are over.
Protesters my azz - have you been paying attention? He was talking about the Thugs, Thieves, Arsonists, etc...protest all you want. How are 60 Secret Service Agents injured and not a single Thug that are throwing bricks, starting fires, etc? WTH is going on....
It also isn't going to stop the protests or the riots. It is gas to a fire.
So you're saying protestors... or really, just call them looters or arsonists, i'm fine with that... are throwing bricks and setting things on fire, and you believe killing them is the correct response?
They need to take their asses home if they aren't going to peacefully protest, but threatening to kill them or sic the "Vicious Dogs' and 'Ominous Weapons'" on them isn't what a leader of the Free World should be doing.
He should either try to empathize and help fix the problem, or keep his mouth shut. Antagonizing the people of the country you're supposed to be leading isn't what a US President is supposed to do.
Dude - I nor anybody has never believed or said Killing the thugs, thieves, arsonist should be the response...You just keep making sh!t up.

I missed the Rose Garden statement. How did that go?
I look forward to the various assessments.

Threatens use of active duty military, encouraged his base of redneck militants to use the 2nd amendment rights.
No Duck, I think it is very relevant. All these posts about justice and fairness. We can not continue to adhere to one side and not the other as well. Do you really not see that? My point is that if we are going to debate, great! Debate ideas. I’ve spent a day and half hearing the same old tired drivel. Trump is this, he is that and whatever fits an agenda. Not really any proof but there should be. Americans are swayed by ideas. I’ve studied politics for over 50 years and I can not think of one time a campaign won on just negatives.

Louisville Police Chief just got fired for a shooting in which there was no body camera footage.
Can Trump order up the active duty military against Americans without congressional approval?

You think Trump cares about any of that? He says a million things before actually checking with anyone to see if it’s legal or not.
Apparently Dems like the Russians. Shouldn’t this make u happy?
I would be embarrassed to support the Dem party right now.
The fact that Trump wasn’t struck down by lightning while holding the Bible should cause a lot of pause for those that believe in God.
Do you actually believe everything you see on Twitter or research what you present as fact?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/officer-jacob-pederson-protests/
Ya. Twitter isn’t the place for credibility. There have been a lot of other similar rumors though. We will have to see. It seems to me we have 3 factions of rioters. People who are legitimately angry and lashing out, opportunists that want to loot, and opportunists that want to perpetuate chaos.
None of that makes rioting and looting right. But it does appear to be a multilayered event with bad actors of different ideologies and purposes.
Watching a video of Trump saying he’s an “ally of peaceful protestors” as DC Police pepper spray and violently push protestors a block away so he can make an awkward photo shoot holding up a bible is hilarious.
