@wajomasaid 1/ It was obviously a joke, that you blokes, sunstroker, suzidude et al try to make something out of it is a sign you don't have anything real and significant.

“He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.”
@wajomasaid lol 'hyper violent', well it would be lol except for your reveling in the shooting death of an unarmed person.
She was trying to break a barricaded door that separated the raging mobsters from Congress members. Officers were correct to put an end to that. It's not reveling, it was tragic.

Trump tells jokes now?
He has said it multiple times in serious contexts e.g. the Hannity interview and several rallies. Why doesn't anyone believe him when he says stuff?
"The Department of Homeland Security's internal estimate in early 2017, shortly after Trump took office, was that his proposed border wall would cost $21.6 billion and take 3.5 years to build."
He thinks he needs to be a dictator to do stuff, because he doesn't now how to do stuff the normal way.
@cliff-mashburnsaid I'm stunned it was ever allowed in the first place.
Al Jazeera is an antisemitic organization that posts Muslim hate-propaganda and calls it news.

@kevcvs57said Dictators don’t usually ask permission or abide by laws on their quest to dictatorship
Who’s going to stop him? SCOTUS? that check and balance has left the building, right now the conservative justices are playing the clock down for trump hoping he can win the election and dismiss all charges against him.
They can’t decide if a POTUS should have total immunity, all they had to do was look up medieval monarch in the dictionary and decide if the US should have one.
He can't be a dictator. There are lots standing in his way.
The reason why his presidency was so ineffective (could not build that wall) is because he is a terrible leader who cannot motivate those around him. All his former employees in the white house now hate him.
@spruce112358said Sure. Intent but also circumstances.
Suppose you shoot someone. Is that right or wrong? Without intent and circumstances, there is no way to know whether you should be put you in jail or get an award. It's the same with a protest.
The intent of these protests is to pressure Israel to reform its society and treat Palestinians more fairly. Some may think Israel can't ...[text shortened]... personally believe in hate speech laws, so if speech is interpreted by some as harassment - too bad.

@averagejoe1said You suggest that we don’t make weapons while other countries do?
Suzianne? Give us a thoughtful explanation of the end game with THAT one. Whew.
@suziannesaid The BLM protests were peaceful until, exactly like in this case, bad actors arrived (in Portland, in the form of white supremacist groups) to stir sh-- up and make it look like the protestors were getting out of control. Same exact M.O. Get the bad mojo blamed on the peaceful protestors.
It worked in Portland, mainly because people were so ready to blame the blacks. Di ...[text shortened]... me when the rednecks don't get their way. It's not even an organization with any command structure.
Remember that time Trump walked slowly to a church and held a Bible for a photo op? Right before that he was hiding in a bunker.
@averagejoe1said Talking? You present to us his words??!?!?! Written by other people, read from a piece of paper )LARGE Font)?!?!?!?!
I have no words for this stupid post. Words. No action. Ha. Action. Hardly a word for one cannot even walk.
Pfft. These are not antifa, they're college kids who don't wanna go to class.
(remembering the time when BLM protests/riots took hold in 140 cities, causing chaos for months, taking over a federal building, trump did squat but tweet and hold a Bible in his hand out front of a church)
@moonbussaid The jury is deliberating. The reason it has been long getting this far is that Trump delays and stalls and appeals and intimidates witnesses and delays again and appeals to the SCOTUS claiming executive privilege and total immunity for ever and ever, and complains that he shouldn't have to stand trial because it is 'politically motivated', because 'he has a campaign to run', and because 'he should be attending his wife's birthday party'.
Yeah the trial could have happened last year were it not for the repetitive requests for delays by Trump's team. Also, there was no need for a trial at all with a simple plea deal and a fine we go on our merry way. Also, there have been lots of scheduled off days in which trump played golf instead of campaigning.
The trial makes him look like a sympathetic, persecuted politician. Exactly what he wants and where he wants to be.
