Trump actually just gave a pretty good speech kind of trying to bring people together. Yea, I know, I'm totally shocked. It was completely read from a teleprompter at the Space Center. One key phrase just irked the shit out of me though. He said he will not allow the crown jewel of out country "the rule of law" be destroyed. What the hell does he care about the law. He flaunts it at every opportunity he can.

That was the dog whistle to his base about keeping the uppity minorities in check.
 
Trump with the lust for deploying the military against the citizenry and that MacArthur reference....he's really just spoiling to be Hoover in 1932.

Yea, apparently I only caught some of the best part. Fox is ecstatic over it, practically running it on a continuous loop. Never mind, what I said above.

I guess it's better than the protests/riots being shown on the other channels.

Anyone posted this yet? Look like the wife of the cop is divorcing him -

Wife of officer charged with murder of George Floyd announces she's divorcing him

"Her utmost sympathy lies with [Floyd's] family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy," a statement from Chauvin's attorney read in part.

Not good. Could lose his freedom and now his wife too.

Who knew suffocating a guy in public could have such serious consequences?
 
already rioting in LA live on CNN, this is going to wind up getting very, very ugly, several police vehicles trashed and the mob is just getting started, eventually rubber bullets will give way to real ones.
 
Oye, I forgot, it's May Day in Seattle. So we have one group of peaceful protesters, and another group bent on serious mischief on the I-5 express lanes through downtown and Westlake Mall. Please, rain, come down harder.😳
Live on the local affiliates. Police cruiser on fire. And away we go.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. "- Admiral Adama.

Something Trump and his supporters either don't understand or don't care to unless it's happening to them.
 
White privilege is being able to show up a black protest, break windows, attack cops and incite a riot then go home the next day listening to fellow whites say Blacks with their looting and riots. If only the protested peacefully....

I watched the SpaceX launch for a while. Isn't it amazing we can send men to space and the moon but we can't solve systemic racism in our criminal justice system.

Do you really think that these riots are really about racism at their core? I think that it has more to do with people being trapped in their apartments for the past two months, and spending a large part of that free time watching their favorite politically slanted news stations and getting angry. This was a powder keg just waiting to go off, and George Floyd's murder just lit the match.

Mayor declares curfew in like 13 minutes. 5 pm. At least 5 police vehicles torched so far.
These people just want to punch it out with the cops. Pure utter wild hatred of the cops.
Raining hard having zero effect.

No. What the FUCK is wrong with you. Unlike you and your ilks, I don't make empty accusations.

Still working hard to find anything about me as Trump's supporter as you accused me of? Remember that?

Yeah, I think that there are a ton of people right now who are sick of government telling them what to do and are looking for an excuse to fight back against "the man".
