SO CALLED LIBERALS....YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT LIBERALISM TRULY WAS MEANT TO BE AS YOU'RE FOLLOWING A SCRIPT YOU'VE NEVER READ...........https://youtu.be/UXqBsn94-eA
Mark Levin now begins " Life, Liberty and Levin" w/The Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America
"active duty troops who would follow this President's illegal orders are violating their oaths."Better make darn sure the order is unlawful.Violating a lawful order is punishable under the UCMJ...
TE,"UCMJ demands that any order given, even if by a President, is illegal if it violates the Constitution and the laws of our republic."Good luck with that. Trump is commander in chief and Mattis isn't a lawyer. His opinions on what is unlawful are just that, his opinions.
He's saying the mayors of dem blue cities need to pull their heads out and take responsibility for the looting and destruction.
@tewright2012@gmail.com, I think he disagreed with BBD and said he was a bit 'tricked' into going along with the event. Appreciate the honesty if it can be believed. Anything that surrounds BBD is suspect.
"many who protested will not forget the issues for which they protested "They're out there to protest trump. Floyd is just the latest convenient excuse.
G, you've now taken your Obama obsession and morphed it into a Trump obsession.Weird.
Various outlets are reporting that white supremecist, Steve King, has been defeated in the GOP Iowa primary. Good riddance (republicans dragged their feet on this one way too long.)
"We are in the Götterdämmerung now, the final phase of the Trump era. We began with the axis of adults that imperfectly constrained him. We then entered the age of hubris and action during which he systematically rid himself of the adults and was free to follow his whims. The third phase was the reckoning as he began to bump up against the contradictions of his own approach, on China and Iran in particular. Now we have finally arrived at the long-feared crisis and unraveling.There is no way back from the Götterdämmerung in the remainder of the Trump era. The question facing responsible senior administration officials (there are several at the principal and deputy level), Republicans in Congress, and allied governments is not how to persuade Trump to do the right thing, but how to limit the damage so the government can be repaired after he is gone. This may mean not urging Trump to take action on crises even if it is merited; circumventing the president wherever possible; Republican governors declaring their independence from their party leader, trying to craft a bipartisan approach in Congress on foreign-policy issues such as competing with China in international institutions and protecting against Russian interference; and using distractions of their own to divert his attention from truly consequential decisions. Call it fortification—of constitutional democracy and America’s international interests. There are 231 long days with nothing but stormy weather left."
Governors have proven to be takers not givers. Also they've proven to have no capability to manage for emergency and respond to emergency.
Well, at least it's cheaper than walling off the 1,950-mile US/Mexico border: www.chron.com/...
Oh well, it's not always what it seems is it?"5 Cops Were 'Justified' in Brutal Beating of Unarmed Black Man, Investigators SaySurveillance footage shows Johnson, who lives in the complex, talking on his cellphone before being approached by several officers. The cops searched his pockets (they had heard there could be a weapon on the scene), while Johnson continued his phone call. Then, they motion for him to sit down. In police body camera videos, the officers can be heard repeating this request, CNN reports. While Johnson leaned his back against the wall, he didn't completely sit down.At that point, four of the officers (later joined by one of their colleagues) attempted to take him down. They punched him in the face, kneed him, and tackled him to the ground. "Sit your ass down, motherfucker," one officer can be heard saying during the altercation, according to The Arizona Republic. "See what happens," one of the officers says.Why did five cops feel the need to beat an unarmed man? One of the officers claimed Johnson was being confrontational. "Johnson's body language was projecting he was preparing for a physical altercation," the officer wrote in his police report."reason.com/...
@Boots in the House Mid 2018....
@amazapple @Jack D Stocks @Namron Damron It took intelligent experts to figure out US is FUBAR?I could've told them that about 5-10 years ago!"Intel experts say US reminds them of a collapsing nationn interviews and posts on social media in recent days, current and former U.S. intelligence officials have expressed dismay at the similarity between events at home and the signs of decline or democratic regression they were trained to detect in other nations. “I’ve seen this kind of violence,” said Gail Helt, a former CIA analyst responsible for tracking developments in China and Southeast Asia. “This is what autocrats do. This is what happens in countries before a collapse. It really does unnerve me.” Clashes between police and the public on Tuesday were largely peaceful, as a second week of protests over George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody began. Major cities continued with widespread curfews, and the National Guard attempted to prevent another night of violence and chaos after dark. "a.msn.com/...
Say hello to third world USAMAGA my ass
Leave......We're not thrilled w/ you either
@techy46, social unrest is part of our history. Go back and check it out over your life. It's a process of adjustment. Our fundamental achilles heel is how we finance our social issues.
Phill Murphey and Dems are running ads on TV using these atrocitities for political advancement. NO POLITICIAN SHOULD BE RUNNING ADS RIGHT NOW let alone EVER
@tewright2012@gmail.com I am not being complacent . I feel sure of Trump's abilities just as I feel sure Biden will have another aneurysm on the debate stage.
This is poor and uneducated blacks using a horrific murder to get their rocks off. Democrats are using them as always to advance their filthy,criminal agenda.I say this as a citizen not as a voterSickening
Satan made only one comment in 2009 before disappearing. Maybe Moe knows what happened.
I was coughing with tear gas in my clergy collar, and my gray hair, and my old lady reading glasses, so that that man could stand there and hold a Bible in his hand and look Christian," Gerbasi told WUSA. "And it would be far more Christian if he would behave according to the words in that book instead of just carrying it around with him as a prop."Clergy members said they were not asked permission or told ahead of time that the president wanted to use the church, which is known as "the Church of the Presidents," for the photo. Many said they are outraged over the use of the Bible as a "prop."
Looting, rioting, vandalism, shootings, arson, destruction of blue cities.Meanwhile the dems are focused on a photo op....Some things are just inexplicable.
I cant speak for dems but the news I read and watch is far more focused on the protests and crime along with it.The photo-op which you defend with your life is already old news.
But man, you are more laser focused on it and defending it than any media outlets.
