    As Protests and Violence Spill Over, Trump Shrinks Back
    The president spent Sunday out of sight, berating opponents on Twitter, even as some of his campaign advisers were recommending that he deliver a televised address to an anxious nation.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/...te=1&user_id=fecdfdffdaaa11107b72f0f4f6e429cc

    Why would he resist the recommendations to try to calm things down?

    Because he sees the protests as a means to further divide the nation. He wants polarization. He wants to create an "us vs. them" mentality among the minions.

    Secret Service hustled Big Fat Don and fam in to a bunker on Friday. If you don't think that was part of his decision making process to forcefully break up a peaceful demonstration with gas and rubber bullets Monday you haven't been paying attention to what President Retribution does.

    You know what? I’m NOT exaggerating. I wish I was. Was Trump not called a racist for trying to limit travel back in January by who could be the next president? That would be a YES!

    Was Trump not called a rapist by many in the MSM with NO evidence what so ever? YES!!

    Have politicians not accused him of working with our enemies to undermine the country? YES THEY HAVE!!!

    So spare me your “over reacting” comment when the day he won the nomination the people over-reacting have been Leftists.

    We’ve got the media starting to indicate Trump could have stopped the riots when it was THEM fanning the flames. NOT Trump. They’re accusing him for wanting our own law enforcement to STOP people from looting and rioting. His job is protect people NOT support the ones doing the damage like Democrat leaders are doing. Dem leaders are NOT condemning the damage. Some are starting to but they barely made a peep when it started and are very quick to point out only certain people The crowds of looters because they might offend minorities.

    I wish I was exaggerating. I truly do. You need to start paying more attention to reality here.

    You assert Satan does not run around signing up Democrats.

    Okay-dokey. Evidence says otherwise. More than 50 million unborn U.S. taxpayers murdered in cold blood, yet Donks want more tax money. Stupid? Try heinous and evil. You want to spend taxes on useless nonsense, do not kill your future source of revenue. Do not say as DNC chair Tom Perez did, that you are not a good Democrat unless you support infanticide. Willful murder of a helpless human being.

    Remember that, Tommy, when the 18-year-old Antifa kid at your nursing home who can't get work anywhere else decides you are spending his welfare money.

    Why don’t the Pelosi Dems condemn the looting and burning? Because they’re on the side of the looters and arsonists.

    This is a left vs. right war.

    Ahhhhh! Deflect to abortion

    A) not just democrats have abortions and it is not just democrats who believe that women should have a choice
    B) we would argue the “tax money” thing as evidence shows that republicans are more interested in feathering their own and their wealthy friends nests than doing good for all
    C) Antifa is not hiding under beds in nursing homes :roll::roll::roll::roll:

    They do but the media will not give them air time

    Isn’t that the republican excuse? That the media ignores them?

    Meanwhile seems Nancy HAS spoken out

    You make it appear you're ignoring the cost to all of us brought by systemic, institutionalized racism. Think of how much less poverty there would be, and much more productive the black workforce would be, how much more of a contribution to the country they could make, if they had not faced centuries of discrimination.

    GOP Sen. Sasse Blasts Trump For Using ‘The Word Of God’ As A ‘Political Prop’

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/ben-sasse-word-god-political-prop-photo-op-protests

    Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) rebuked President Donald Trump on Tuesday for having police clear peaceful protesters out Lafayette Square near the White House with teargas so that he could stage a photo-op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church.

    “There is no right to riot, no right to destroy others’ property, and no right to throw rocks at police,” Sasse said in a statement. “But there is a fundamental – a Constitutional – right to protest, and I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo-op that treats the Word of God as a political prop.”

    Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the lone black lawmaker in the Senate GOP caucus, was the only other Republican senator to denounce Trump’s actions.

    Barr Ordered Lafayette Square Clear-Out Right Before Trump’s Remarks

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/barr-lafayette-square-trump-address-george-floyd-protests

    Attorney General Bill ("the Bagman") Barr reportedly asked law enforcement officials to push protesters out of Lafayette Square shortly before President Trump delivered an address at the White House amid protests nationwide in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

    According to a Washington Post report on Tuesday, Barr made his decision late Sunday or early Monday to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square by one block, citing two law enforcement officials.

    It's always instructive to watch whom the established lie centers decide is a safe Republican to let on the air. Usually someone from a blue district that can cover their trail back home, siding with the agents of national doom. Or some mushmouth with a spine of suet and brain of Jell-O.

    Does Josh Marshall pay by the link for that tripe? From the Washington Pest? Really?

    How many blocks away from that square would they clear had it been Joe Biden?

    Barr personally asked to push back protesters outside White House just before Trump spoke

    Attorney General William P. ("Billy the Bagman") Barr personally ordered law enforcement officials on the ground to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square in Washington to push back protesters just before President Trump spoke Monday, a Justice Department official said.

    That order came as clashes between police and the public continued to intensify, with largely peaceful daytime protests over George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody descending into violence and chaos after dark, amid widespread curfews and National Guard deployments.

    Add another scandal that would have Trumpette's running around screaming about an abuse of power if a Dem did it.

    This one too will fade from the headlines in a day or two, replaced by another in the endless string of scandals.

    Which the left rules through the crackpot billionaires owning the major cable TV outlets. Carlos Slim, anyone? Or the on-air talent. Competition for those on-screen jobs is yet a different form of selling out to Satan (*WINK*) --- so willingly surrendered to get that huge paycheck.

    Haven't seen anything from a Sinclair outlet, I hear they kindasortamaybe might be conservative. But conservative channels? Rare. Tubitv.com has a bunch including the Blaze and others. Free with commercials. That's all I've found.

    One thing to remember about broadcast journalism. If it bleeds, it leads. Take that one to the bank.
