Just watched a Video of a retired Black police captain get shot in the back of the head by looters stealing TV's. Can't bear to read anymore posts from Liberal/Democrats you people sicken me. Enjoy the world you created. 

I see your problem you assume all the looters are automatically liberals rather than criminals who always appear at riots and take the opportunity to steal.

As for the world that we created, well I find it sickening that you see no problem with black people being repeatedly killed by the police. I guess that says a lot more about you than it does about us.

Now will you look at that....Twitter just took down an ANTIFA- tweet, calling for violence!

Turns out, it was twittered  by a right wing- group!

Hmmmm...I wonder, what that all means....

After the massive failure in response to Covid, and now this, Trump really should resign now, and admit he is in way too far over his head, rather than run for re-election. And Mnuchin should finally be arrested. Conway, Pompeo, Esper, and the other grossly incompetent members of the administration should also quit in disgrace, and admit they simply failed the American people, on a historic and monumental level.

So he gases PEACEFUL protesters by the church across the street from the White House, walks over, holds the bible up, click, photo taken, walks back to the WH and with bangs heard in the background, he declares himself a law and order president.

 

Surreal, innit?

How terribly christian of this hypocrite. Does not even have the desc ency to notify the bishop of the church of the intention to purloin the building for photo-op. Carrying a bible was the crowning glory of tone deaf behaviours.

Yes, video is 4 years old. Are you trying to say George Floyd was the first and only black person killed by police in US? So whatever happened more than a week ago is completely irrelevant to you?

 

Racism is cancer of America and has been for many years.

Jeeze... up until about a decade ago, I thought the US was the best place for a mixed community.

Hundreds of years of inequality, systemic government failure failure, and a culture of "othering" people, not only by colour.

I vote for a party whose manifesto I like. Could be centre right or centre left (by Australian  definition). Last general election I voted centre right.

He should.

But he won't.

If he loses he goes to prison.

He won't leave voluntarily if he loses. He has nothing to lose by trying to hang on. He's already set it up to label the election rigged.

He's obviously grooming some generals to fight for him.

People in the world looking for a model for democracy have already learned not to look to the USA.

If he isn't somehow removed, this is the end of American democracy.

I not only blame him but all the complicit ones, his fans, almost all the elected republican officials most of whom know what a disaster he is but live in fear of his mean tweets.

This is truly sick. One bizarre demagogue taking down a once great country.

Those people will have a long long search, which even might take a couple of generations...

Just do a Google for "new south wales police brutality" and you will see what has been happening the past couple of days. Democracy? Democracy indeed! I need an Amulet to find that in my life time. Who is fooling whom, honestly?

Trump says he went to White House bunker to 'inspect' it - not because of protests

"The president also denied that tear gas was used on peaceful protesters outside a historic church in Washington DC, to clear way for him to stage a photo opportunity"

He does revisionist history the speedy way.

He knows his "alternative facts" cult of personality base laps it up. 

Fiction writers could never have come up with a character like 45.

It is a pity that everything has to be absolute what concern Mr. Trump. 

 

There seems no way  where an opponent of Mr. Trump can admit he is doing something good, sometimes;

 

neither can a partisan acknowledge that sometimes Mr. Trump is wrong in his actions and decisions.

Yes, bunker boy didn't actually poop his pants, he was just checking their capacity.

I find your post odd. 

It's in the vein of regarding 45 as just another president with normal pros and cons as any president. 

 

No! 

 

There is nothing normal about this man and his presidency. 

 

His rule has resulted in massive damage to both domestic American society and international relations. 

 

Some may take generations to repair. Some may be permanent. 

 

So you want something positive about him? 

 

How about something like the trains are running on time?

Still unclear for me, but not really important.

 

The world will soon see who the majority of the Americans wish to have as president.

 

We, in Belgium, are once again confronted with the usual circus,

still no official government 1 year after elections.

You're assuming three things that Americans can't assume anymore. 

 

That there will be an election in November. 

 

That such an election will be fair. 

 

That 45 will voluntarily leave office if he loses. 

 

I will add that 45 didn't receive majority support even in 2016. If he manages to legitimately win this year he again won't be getting majority support.

Nah, the election will happen. An overreach like that would put off even his most loyal sycophants.

 

Fair election - hasn't been one in decades.

Voluntarily leave - oh HELL no, he won't go for fear of spending time in an orange jumpsuit at the grey bar hotel.
