First off, they aren’t even protestors. If any of them were clever (or educated), when asked what are you protesting?, they would answer, “what have you got.”
Give me strength.
I’d have much more time for the ‘Trump won’t accept defeat’ argument if this virago didn’t keep showing up with her captain hindsight takes every breath.
I was conflicted in 2016. I was glad HRC didn’t win, yet at the same time in disbelief that a reality TV dilettante was now POTUS.
Fast forward to 2020, the age of state accepted chaos, TDS the only reason, and I will be dancing a jig (choice of phrase intentional for you SJWs) in the street if the Orange One somehow pulls a victory out of his hair over the Geriatric One propped up like Bernie (the movie one, not the Communist one) in his office chair.

Again…we haven’t seen the fury of Trump and Conservatives yet.
It’s getting closer, though…and the Left has given them plenty of video footage to work with.
Close election? Maybe.
Trump wins.
Well, with how far behind Trump is in the polls, those crazy NeoCons better get busy makin’ shite up…oh, wait…
C’mon, man. You can’t be serious. Trump is wheeling out unidentified law enforcement and militarizing a response to civil unrest that belongs with the local authorities.
This over-the-top nonsense is the exact kind of overbearing abuse of government power would have conservatives up in arms, let alone lefties, and in some cases literally. But, having been castrated since 2016, they can no longer be bothered to care.

In case anyone was confused as to why we’re seeing an overreacting (and dangerous) response by Trump to civil unrest, his campaign’s most recent ad tells the whole thing - Trump wants to scare voters by insisting we’re slipping into dystopia and he’ll bring the Law and Order to fix it. It’s an absurd exaggeration, but even more problematic, well, read the whole article. Trump is pushing out photos of civil unrest in other countries hoping his dopey followers fall for it. But, well, someone fact checked the ad, and it’s even worse than that.
The attempts to maim and burn by a bunch of emboldened Marxists while Democrat leaders refuse to use their local law enforcement? That civil unrest? The one that cost lives and livelihoods? The loss of our symbols and the humiliation of BLM murals, a Marxist victory, plastered on US streets. Biden is a disgrace. Anyone voting for that hanger-on of Sanders and AoC has no business criticizing Trump or his voters.
What’s Biden got to say about BLM? Hmm? The Marxist trans radical organization that wants to pretty much raze what is left of western culture. Tear down the traditional family? Biden going to have words against them? That boot licking panderer? “They gonna put y’all back in chains!”
Go for it. Not I.
Oh, and hey Thunder! Long time no talk!

This isn’t true, they aren’t refusing, but aside from that - short of declaring martial law, on what legal authority does the President have the right to send in a federal goon squad to engage in offensive tactics against city dwellers causing trouble?
You remember when conservatives actually cared about the rule of law, Sloth?
What I smell is an attempt to equivocate Biden to Trump. Cognitive dissonance doesn’t look good on you, Sloth. You’re better than that. Biden is a garden variety liberal who has respect on both sides of the aisle. He’s not George Washington, but he isn’t the corrupt trash in the Oval Office now.
I’ll say it again - no one much cares about BLM, except right-wingers who’ve been led to believe in their echo chambers that BLM is some monstrous organization in control of a bunch of things and poised to take over the country. That organization is a fringe organization whose unimpressive influence is being exaggerated. Why are you falling for this crap?
Do what you feel. But making your decision based on the manufactured illusion that Biden is some left-wing maniac ready to “tear up the nuclear family” or whatever is a sign you’ve been duped, and I never pegged you as the duping kind.
(Good to see you, too, old friend.)

Nothing to see here guys. Just a little Marxist revolution trying to get itself off of the ground. Don’t get too worked up about the capitulating mayors and governors across the entire country who’ve done nothing to stop the mayhem. Joe Biden is an obviously favorable alternative, well-positioned to bring a markedly different style of presidency to the White House. I particularly liked how he courageously refused to answer any questions at his most recent press event. We need more shows of strength like that from our leadership in Washington.
Fox News is still on the air, and they’re definitely biased against Democrats, so there’s no need to find it concerning that most major television and internet media outlets all seem to be rowing in the same direction as the DNC and all of the leaders who are allowing the mayhem to occur.
Have you heard about white supremacists and the threat they pose? You should have, thanks to the noble efforts of high-integrity journalists and politicians. Through them we’ve also learned that criticism of the Chinese Communist Party isn’t a path to unity, and is actually racist.
There’s no reason to be alarmed at the brazen lies and narratives that cannot stand up to basic scrutiny being peddled across our media landscape. These are noble #resistance efforts, best understood with the clarity that’s present when scrutiny is absent.
Trump is BAD. Haven’t you heard?

This is the chart that matters, and all recent efforts by the Administration - including sending Federal troops - are designed to mitigate the effects of this chart.
If the virus is the dominant narrative, Biden wins.
If the “Marxist running amok” narrative is dominant, then Trump has a good chance.
Trump has only recently pivoted to the “law and order” candidate. What is fascinating is how he tested out in public different messaging approaches against Biden on his Twitter.
“Creepy Joe” didn’t gain much traction outside of the base, “Sleepy Joe”… well, recent events have shown that it’s perhaps not the best idea to tout one’s supposed cognitive dominance, so “unwitting, senile tool of the far left” is the only remaining option on the cards.
Here are the facts about Portland: 50+ nights of riots targeting the federal courthouse, which the federal government has the duty to protect, during which one federal officer has been killed and one wounded in a drive by shooting, federal officers have suffered permanent eye damage from laser attacks, many others injured by bricks, fireworks, bottles, etc. There have been multiple attempts to burn down the building. During which the local authorities have done absolutely nothing.
But keep spewing that partisan drivel about how this is all Trumps fault, militarization, conservatives used to!
Just pure partisan garbage.
Are you replying to me? Because my post above is pretty self-evident.
Without BLM protests Biden would have won easily as the pandemic would be the dominant narrative in 2020.
With the BLM riots, Antifa and the accompanying mayhem Trump got a chance to (belatedly) pivot to “law and order” and now has a fighting chance.
If he wins this fall, it will be the thanks to BLM.
No, sorry I was replying to @thunderbolt23. Your posts, unlike his, are always intelligent and informative.

Yes, and its gotten so bad and so prevalent that Team Trump is sending out ads…showing civil unrest in Ukraine from 2014 and pretending it’s in the US. Hilarious.
What’s happening in Portland is awful, but it’s Portland. It’s been a hotbed of protests and riots for years. Doesn’t mean what is happening is ok - just that it isn’t a building wave of a “Marxist revolution!!1!” in the country.
I didn’t see that - can you link to the story?
I never said the unrest was Trump’s fault - what I am saying is he is trying ro exaggerate it nationally and insert himself for attempted political gain. What we don’t have is a widespread “dystopia” problem caused by revolutionists (OMG! A Marxist around every street corner!).
And of course federal agents can protect federal property - what they can’t do is canvas streets and supplant local law enforcement.
But I get it - your hero is on national television bizarrely bragging about “acing” a cognitive impairment test (and getting extra points!) and the voting public is seeing this and thinking, holy crap, this imbecile has the nuclear codes. So I understand the effort to change the narrative and try to scare the bejeezus out of people with tbis exaggerated “every American city will burn if we don’t re-elect Dear Leader!”.
(I’ll set aside that that is straight from every third-world autocrat strongman’s playbook to get elected.)
Sad face.
Mea culpa, the officer was murdered protecting the courthouse in Oakland, not Portland.
The rest of your post is arrogant, formulaic garbage. I’ve never posted anything in support of Trump. You used to seem like an intelligent poster, but at this point you just seem like a bot.
I already posted this video in another thread, but in case you missed it:
So here’s your chance to prove you have some intellectual honesty left, and take back your comment about “unidentified law enforcement” and “militarizing a response to civil unrest.”
@thunderbolt23
You have spent 5 long years ridiculing/ demeaningTrump, his supporters, GOP, non Leftist media, etc for not being patriotic, hating the rule of law, ignoring the Constitution, or not being real Americans.
Now active hatred, violence, and preaching of destroying society is okay?
Long way from Big Brothers program to your current mindset.
