The orange bully is starting fights

In a desperate bid to save his reelection chances, Trump is sending his goons to escalate tensions in dozens of cities across the US. He is ignoring pleas from the mayors of those cities to refrain from doing so.

This is sowing anger and discord. Some people have reacted with violence. This, unfortunately, plays right into Trump's hands. It reinforces the conservative narrative that all Black people are violent and they really don't deserve civil rights.

Violence. Anger. Division. Conflict. It's what all fascist dictators want, and what Trump craves. That despicable bully.

(And of course, our resident Trumptards are cheering him on.)

Counterpoint here:  I said it before.  Trump wants out.

He might as well be packing his duds after declaring yesterday that he doesn't plan to attend any of the tributes to John Lewis.  If that is what he actually said.   Call it arrogance, call it not bending. 

JMHO which won't buy a cup of coffee at his farewell party (which he won't attend either).

Maybe so, but just one more act of assholery isn't all that significant.

I do think that sending in the Gestapo was at least as much DHS head Wolf trying to make a name for himself and impress Trump as Trump thinking deeply and strategizing. Wolf probably suggested it and he said, "Yeah, sounds good." He never considers anything more deeply than that.

The man's a complete asshole, and if he's already left the White House mentally, he should just abdicate or resign or shoot himself or whatever. This vacuum of leadership is killing us.

If you think its bad now wait until he looses the election.    The lame-duck period is going to be pretty...uh....interesting.   

Largely due to the fact that “those” mayors are NOT protecting federal property. Federal agents are present in all large cities in this country. Typically they are not needed in the capacity they have had to be needed.

You have no idea what Trump “wants” just more of your liberal bullshit!

The “peaceful” protestors seem to change their attitudes after 10 pm and turn into angry mobs! Police are treated with little respect and are enticed into confrontations which I am sure they would rather be home with there families instead of babysitting the mob!

Uh...Woody baby...it is not up to those mayors to protect federal property. It is up to the "federal agents" you mentioned. In the same manner, the jurisdiction of those federal agents ENDS at the border of federal property.

I know EXACTLY what Trump wants. He wants to be reelected. Nothing else matters to him. And if you think that opposing or cheering Trump's goon squads is a matter of politics or ideology---well, I feel sorry for you. EVERY American should object to it---liberal or conservative.

Your language is the same fascist dictators use. Any gathering of protestors is a "mob." They're all "angry," violent anarchists. Law and order must be maintained, even at the price of civil liberties. Anybody objecting to the policies of those in power is "rioting."

Shame on you for supporting a wannabe tinpot dictator. Real Americans don't cheer when the tear gas and grenades start flying.

Yep, cause you don’t own a fucking thing! Business owners are suffering and people like you could care less, cause you have no skin in the game! Obviously if these were all “peaceful protest” we would not have millions and millions of damage to our city business’. Your kind is pathetic!

I own a business. It's shut down due to the pandemic. You don't know diddly-squat about me.

The protests are mostly peaceful. The fact that there have been some acts of violence doesn't change that one bit. And don't try to tell me you give a crap about the millions and jillions and bazillions and quintillions of (I assume you mean, dollars' worth) damage to cities. If you actually did, you would be decrying the escalation that Trump's goons are causing--which has led to more violence.

"My kind" will overwhelm and obliterate "your kind." Nasty, evil old white men are losing their grip on this country. All you white supremacist Trumptards can do is watch and whine.

Now go down to your basement, put on your MAGA hat, and scream about liberals, Hillary, the Deep State, and yes...those uppity Black folk. Wanting to be treated equally...the NERVE! As if they were people!

In numerous past posts you said you teach 3rd grade. 

It is apparent that there is no situation where the TDS crowd will condemn the violence. There is always an excuse. 

That is because he is not an honest person! His narcissism has him being what his talking point requires. Whether you like it or not HE believes he is a bit better than most and HIS opinions are the only one that matter!

Has to be a really pathetic life with that attitude
