    I love how you want to play make-believe that, if nothing burned down, there must have been no risk. That's just hilarious. And Trump wants to "protect" even statues that locals want to remove. Some people just don't like glorifying traitors. Who knew? Trump doesn't care about history. Hell, he has a fake Civil War monument on one of his properties.

    The land legally belongs to the Oglala. We signed a treaty saying so. That's the law of the land. The Supreme Court already ruled the land grab was illegal.

    Just to put things in perspective: should Trump be reelected, and continue to golf at the presetn pace, he will have blown 340 million on his golf outings. Just saying.

    Brilliant all-American speech!

    I never listened to any political speechifying before Pres Trump.. but I am fascinated by his presentations.. I guess that's because he is a businessman and not a slimy lying silvertongued politician!

    Your numbers are off a bit. I bet loss numbers are in the multi-billions.
    In Minneapolis and St. Paul alone it is assessed at over $500 million destroyed.
    A lot could be said for if idiot limp dicked Governor of MN Tim Walz and the two child mayors of both cities who had the opportunity to stop the violence with an immediate show of force instead of turning police stations, post offices, banks, and hundreds of other small businesses over to the looters, much of this could have been stopped across the country.

    Trump's one of the good ones!

    About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.

    Calvin Coolidge, Address at the Celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on July 5, 1926.

    That's perspective ? REALLY? Golfing expenses versus damages to businesses, banks, police stations and cars, statutes, monuments, etc plus people getting murdered in the streets? If that's putting things into perspective, you need to change your perspective!

    God bless that man for he has a way of triggering his haters even on the night before a holiday that honors the Independence of our country.
    Orange man, master troller of all those that hate America is what I am gathering from some of the posts I read this morning.
    All the more reason to enjoy my day at a barbeque with family and neighbors. I will tip a long neck in your direction.

    What makes you think a Democratic governor would allow the protestors, peaceful or otherwise, to block access by POTUS? You have some screwy ideas if you do.

    The truly vast majority of protests were peaceful. Why are you smearing them as looters?

    You keep picking him over the Constitution. I'll keep picking the Constitution over him. We've both made our choice.
    The fact that you think these two things are connected shows a lack of understanding. I'm barbequing and having long necks too; It's just that I understand the difference between celebrating my country and worshiping an unworthy figurehead.

    **** us for electing Trump? We deserve to have 120,000 COVID-19 deaths when we could have had a situation like they have in British Columbia (5m people)?

    Who's responsible for Trump?

    BTW, I said the Seattle mayor was wrong to let thugs get into the whatever-they-called-it zone. Maybe it was the cops looking the other way.

    Odd you say that because prior to the invasion of the Chinese virus my import beer of choice was Tsingtao. It has been replaced by Corona. Don't come back at me because Mexico needs my money to pay for the wall and I said import beer of my choice, I still favor beers from local breweries.

    As cities all over the country have discovered, protesters > rioting > looting > burning > shooting.
    Good job last night Mr. President. Loved the flags luffing behind you during your great speech.

    Come November, people will choose which which way to go. Seems like "ignoring fire safety and ignoring the demands of the legal land owners that he [they] not come on their land", is non-partisan.

    Welcome to the "Summer of Love".

    You do realize there's been right wing terrorism too, right? And likely more deaths from it? Selective editing of photos isn't going to change the facts.

    He's a terrible businessman who even managed, among many other failed endeavors, to bankrupt a damned casino! Trump was born on 3rd base and his supporters think he hit a homerun. And the word for a guy who scams fellow Americas out of their life savings at a bogus university is not "businessman"...it's "grifter".

    But if all else fails he is an okay musician....

    He's both a slimy politician and a slimy businessman. He's made a living as a conman. I respect actual businessmen -- people who make their fortune by adding value to the market. He's not one of those. He's a serial liar and always has been.
