    I would so love to see this. We could start a pool. Even though some of the people here would never admit it, I don't think they'd be at all surprised to see who shows up on the perp list. In all seriousness, if DOJ has hard evidence of ANYONE inciting or coordinating riots or other illegal activity, they need to cuff some bitches and start setting court dates.

    No link to any statement by Barr on this, nor does Google turn anything up. Trump Jr. is retweeting a woman posing in a Confederate flag bikini and we're meant to treat this as a serious source?

    You think if they had anything Trump Sr. wouldn't be shooting his goddamn mouth off about it?

    It's because he has postured himself as a symbol of machismo, despite the fact that he's a blatant coward. Nobody gives Cheney any shit for being in the bunker on 9/11, because he didn't get up there on stage and talk about punching people. (Cheney also shot a lawyer in the face.) Couple that with Trump's lame-ass excuse of "I was inspecting the bunker" and you have the perfect foil. Had he simply said that it was protocol and he was doing what his SS detail thought was best, it wouldn't have been quite the issue that it is now. Though, if I'm not mistaken, Abraham Lincoln did step out and address an angry mob at one point in his Presidency (if it wasn't Lincoln, it was another President). Not saying that doing something like that is practical (or even advisable) in the 21st Century, just that in times of civil unrest it hasn't always been policy for the President to be hidden away.

    @Marso's been suckered by his fellow travelers' fake news again.

    Or maybe he was just distracted by the bikini. :jayzus:

    Yes this is standard policy. Several people have brought this up already, but some people don't want facts when it's easier to just point & laugh at what you despise.

    The facts are not at issue. What's at issue is Your Boy Donnie's comment about "just inspecting" the bunker. Then exacerbating it by saying something abysmally stupid, even for him, about it being "all dusty because Obama didn't take care of it."

    Find one person here - or anywhere - who's saying that.

    Except you, thinking you're imitating the Imaginary Librul whose voice you hear in your head. :bailey:

    Nixon went out and talked to protesters.

    No-one has a problem with Trump following secret service instructions, it's that he's doing things like retreating to a White house bunker at the same time he called DC the safest place in the world.

    No. It’s because no matter what he does, he always does it in such a way that makes him look like a two year old throwing a tantrum.

    He invites violence, calls people names, then when shit hits the fan, he finally minds and goes to his room.

    BTW, did any rightforger who passed along the cement/acid milkshake lie apologize and/or back down when it was debunked?
    Maybe it happened, and I missed it.
    They usually just get really quiet, and move on to the next lie, and hope you forget.
    Like birtherism (hi, Marso!!).

    Bolding mine. And then claiming he was "just inspecting it" and adding that he found it "dusty because Obama didn't take care of it."

    Austin PD receives overwhelming response of people mailing them "Thank you" cards for their fine work.



    Please ignore the exact same handwriting on all of the cards, that there are no stamps or addresses on any of the envelopes, or that they're currently under fire for the shooting of Justin Howell and Brad Ayala, both high school students, during a peaceful protest, and then shooting at the people who tried to carry the unconscious boys out of the line of fire.

    Oh, right, you missed that adventure.

    Yeah, when "antifa", were throwing milkshakes on Nazis, dirty cops (with the aid of Nazi-twitter) were passing along the lie that they (Antifa) were putting quick drying cement in the milkshakes, and that quick drying cement has an acidic element that was burning skin, therefore the milkshakes were deadly weapons, therefore beating protesters into hamburger was saving lives.

    Naturally, rightforge ate this up like candy.

    That this was even happening was debunked, but cement chemists came out and said cement doesn't burn like that.

    Rightforge turned into crickets.

    I like that they seem to be falling backwards. I don't like that it took two guys dressed like Robocop to arrest this calm, peaceful example of protest.

    If anyone doubts the militarisation of the police, these guys are wearing more stuff than Tony Stark.
