    Let them burn down the Wendy's or the waffle house

    Let them tear down the statues of our heroes

    Let them riot, let them destroy

    Let them kill each other

    Let them enforce lawlessness

    On November 4th, when Americans call for Law and Order, they would remember the President who called for it first.

    Or they might remember the President who sowed the seeds of division. And the one who sat idly by in his ivory tower and tweeted nastiness. It's all a matter of perspective - and we'll see who was right come November, won't we?

    How appropriate that there is so much blue, don't you think?

    Well, considering he campaigned on 'change', that could have meant anyone or anything. Would be nice if you had a longer clip that would include context so that we don't have to 'suppose' anything.

    Surely you heard Obama talk about his son Trayvon Martin and told the rioters to stay the course.

    Obama said, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon". That is all he said. He didn't tell anyone to riot.
    Does it anger you that we had an African-American President who could say that?

    I think that NYC Mayor DiBlasio is the only openly-Marxist mayor in the country. Interesting post-modern experiment he is running, by quickly defunding major parts of the NYPD in response to the George Floyd murder.

    Good luck to all those nice folks who are living in Democrat-run cities where crime was already a problem. Hopefully this "no police" experiment won't last too long, or cost too many additional lives. My prayers go out to them.

    uh, eight years of his administration tells a much different story. Remember his vitriol about folks clinging to their guns and bibles? This was a thinly veiled attack on whites but the drooling masses were so busy adoring the messiah they completely missed it. This wasn't just an attack on whites but on christians and anybody who who believes in the Constitution which is a pretty significant chunk of America. In retrospect think of how empty that speech was, he didn't do anything significant for America. It amazes me how many people still idolize this nobody.

    I haven't - so again - any video evidence of Obama sowing seeds of division would be great.

    I don't think so. I think we will see who is the least onerous.

    Video clips of drone bombing civilians isn't something people have a lot of.

    Well depends on who you ask. A democrat would tell you between 2000 and 2008 Magically it was all good on times surrounded that.

    At least I'm consistent.

    Let's just use Saturday as an example.

    POTUS is supposed to be the leader of all the states, but apparently he doesn't want to work with "radical left". He's happy to watch one of the cities in this country 'burn'.

    Trump has offered federal assistance, if requested. If the mayor/governor wants help, Trump said they can take care of things in short order. You can't blame Trump for far-left local elected leadership. That's not how this works.

    Actually, he didn't offer help to Seattle. He tweeted: "Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will."

    And then, on Saturday night, he said he "offered help to Seattle". Then followed it up with these comments:

    "Its probably best for us to just watch that disaster."

    He then said that he had a conversation with some Congressmen regarding the situation:
    Trump: "Should we just go in?"
    Congressmen: "No sir - let it simmer for a little while. Let people see what radical left democrats will do to our country."

    If you think that's the kind of leadership the country needs, good for you. We don't share the same view.

    I watched the Tulsa Rally, so I'm familiar with what he said. If Jenny Durkin wants to defund the police and let CHAZ/CHAD police themselves, murder each other, deface and destroy property, then that's on her and the people who elected her. You get what you vote for, especially at the local level.
