Hell, people today are acting like this is TEOTWAWKI.

Unlike the protests/riots that have been going on for almost a year. Democrats have fully supported and justified their actions. The small, minority business owners were hit the hardest. They, politicians that is. are just too stupid to see it. Edited February 12, 2021 by Michelle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted February 12, 2021 #405 Share Posted February 12, 2021 On 1/15/2021 at 5:36 PM, toast said: it is really frightening with what audacity the trumpies try to portray the attack on the capitol as being as harmless as the visit of a japanese tourist group. For the most part, once inside the building, they behaved pretty similarly. There was no vandalism or damage, other than taking the podium as a keepsake 18 hours ago, RAyMO said: Re bolden - it shows clearly what was was happening during the time that Trump refused to act - to call back the insurgents or to authorise support for the security forces. At the least, it shows the results of his Inaction. Umm.. that's simply not correct ? The breach happened at 14:00 (approx). Trump made his first call for peaceful, lawful behavior at 15:00. It was pretty much all over by 18:00. Trump had ALREADY approved deployment of the DC National Guard DAYS previously. But they where mostly on traffic duty to release DC Police to man the actual demonstration (at the insistence of the Mayor, who didn't fancy the 'optics' of armed NG on the steps of the capitol). It took time to recall the NG back to their armoury, equip them, and then redeploy them, by which time it was almost over. You have to recall that Trump is not DIRECTLY in control of the DC NG. That power resides in the Pentagon, via the Secretary of Defense (or the Secretary of the Army). But as I've already said, the DCNG where already on the scene. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted February 12, 2021 #407 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hearing those speeches yesterday, given by these managers makes me think, for the first time in my life that the Democrats have some true giants among them. I don’t think I’ve said, “Amen,” outside of church, so many times in my life. These men were filled with the simple inspiration of Truth. So refreshing after four years of endless lies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me of the times governors or even the crazy mayors of Seattle and Portland tweeted or spoke to protestors and told them they had to loot more buildings or break into the Federal building and fight for their rights and the very existence of their country. I seem to recall Biden speaking out back when Portland protests were at their height. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-biden-condemn-violence/fact-check-joe-biden-has-condemned-violent-protests-in-the-last-three-months-idUSKBN25V2O1 On August 30, Joe Biden condemned violence at protests in Portland (here) by releasing a statement on his campaign website (here), which said, “The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable […] as a country we must condemn the incitement of hate and resentment that led to this deadly clash. It is not a peaceful protest when you go out spoiling for a fight.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Portland even big corporate businesses, like Microsoft, have left the downtown area for the suburbs. Many small businesses have simply closed up forever. Mayor Wheeler said he'd fix it, (because it is entirely his fault) but so far I've not seen it getting better. He did say he was going to be "hard" on rioters going forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall him expressing sympathy for the BLM grievance of unequal treatment by police, but I do not recall him saying they should march on the Federal Building as a consequence. Also, I do not recall him saying the rioters including Antifa were great people that he loved and they had been cheated out of their birthright of equal treatment and had to fight to retake their country and their rights. I don't recall any of the rioters on the scene saying they were doing it for Ted Wheeler or that Ted Wheeler had invited them to enter the Federal Building and anybody that stood in their way was a traitor. Prior to that demonstration I do not recall Wheeler offering to pay any protestors bail if they punched someone in the face or that the police should not be too gentle with suspects and bang their heads on the squad car doors as they threw them in. I don't think he altered a city permit to allow protestors to march to the Federal Building or that he met with BLM protesters in the months preceding telling them the cops were definitely in the wrong and they were being cheated out of their rights as Americans. Of course it is right and just that DOJ under Barr should investigate both the mayor of Seattle and they mayor of Portland. I don't know what the result of that investigation was. I do know that both Portland and Seattle suffered; Seattle especially for allowing a violent group of protestors to disrupt the city by threat and escape consequences. Both of those mayors seemed inept in their handling of the protests. If their activity was also criminal, they should face the consequences. I would hate to think that anybody as incompetent as Ted Wheeler would ever be President of the United States or that if the BLM protestors had marched on City Hall, Ted Wheeler would have told the protestors that the city council were traitors who did not do the right thing for their cause. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are attributing something Trump said or how you interpreted it you will have to more specific. I focused more on his policies than the BS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
