Seems to be a recurring theme with Trump and the MAGAs to make up obvious defamatory lies in order to justify the unconstitutional use of govt violence against American citizens whose speech they disagree with.

I do not approve of Trump using the guys name in a tweet.

I really hope his "very fine" people do not take action against him.

And since techincally Trump did use his personal twitter account I would imagine Trump should take some liability if Martin gets harassed.
Hahahahahahahahahaha....Trump taking liability for anything...good one :D

I want The Donald to explain the “black out the equipment“ part. What he has tweeted is Hollywood style techno-babble, okay for a throwaway movie line but gibberish in the real world.

I'd guess that the MAGA types and 4Channers watch a lot of NCIS and the like, so the language filters down all the way to POTUS.

Well, 5G and windmills cause cancer, so not that big of a stretch.

'That hospitalized old man got what was coming to him' is certainly one communications strategy they could use.

Let's see how that works out for them.

Neutralizing terrorists plays well to the base.
American hating commies, not so much.

It is a question of broad appeal and how many folks "in the middle" can get suckered into one view or the other.

I think Trump is in a pretty tough spot with these protests regardless but of all the avenues he could take I do not think 'the old man shoved down on camera deserved what he got' is going to be a fruitful one.

Trump is doing this because it's all he's emotionally and psychologically capable of. He was able to show sympathy and contrition for about one day but as soon as that didn't work he went right back to attacking everyone who disagreed with him.

Hmmm... I think the old guy was casting a spell. He had a clear warlock vibe. So...Trump thinks he was using highly advanced (possibly alien?) technology to scan the cops communications equipment and close it down .

Lol...Aiming a scanner?...Was it confiscated and analyzed?

Come on Donald!, let me shove your fat ass and see if you fall harder than you were pushed.

Has anyone told Trump that there's an app for that?

I am sure the people who were losing their shit at white nationalists being doxed will be along soon to condemn the President’s behavior.

Oh come on. We all know by now that ALL conservatards are hypocrites with double standards. Don't let them try to tell you otherwise as they are lying if their lips are moving. They brought this upon themselves.

Trump: You're my campaign and my poll numbers are falling. People don't seem to like me. Do something!

Campaign aides: Lets have him give an address to appeal to seniors and the growing number of people unhappy with excessive police force.

*some time later*

Trump to world: That 75 year old Antifa plant who was bleeding on my American Comeback Greatness sidewalk had it coming.

Ugh... were there some of those here? I don't dig into every thread anymore. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Best one was from years ago (maybe 10 years?)
There was a thread about stupid klan rituals like funny names and handshakes. One poster said something like “this is outdated info, we don’t do that anymore”
Thread continued until someone else quoted and said “we?”
Post got editited.
I’d looked for that thread but I cannot find it because search options are too broad.

Has there been any credible evidence produced that links antifa to any of the recent rioting or looting?

I wanted to see the information Trump was using from OANN. Took me a few minutes to find it. Found this informative Slate article that linked to twitter that has the OANN video. Putin must have sent him the video link.




Why does that reporter sound like a computer voice from 1995?
