Racism...Forever?

While I can’t say I’m surprised by this...it’s frightening to imagine what lies in the days and weeks ahead....particularly in those states with Governors as ********ed up as trump

I'm in touch with someone who's on the governors' call with President Trump right now. They and others listening in are alarmed. The president is urging governors to take back the streets, not be "weak," and use force as the nation faces growing racial unrest.

Descending into madness....

More: President Trump just berated governors and mayors for how they are handling the protests, calling them "fools," per person on the call.

A second person on call says Trump's "fools" comment was more of a warning, saying if the governors didn't take more action on the protests, they'd look like "fools."

JUST IN: President Trump unloads on the nation's governors on a call, calls on them to step up enforcement: "You have to dominate, if you don’t dominate you’re wasting your time. They’re going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate."

MORE: Trump tells governors: "You’ve got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you’ll never see this stuff again," per audio obtained by @CBSNews

The Head of the NYT Sergeant Union is an utter scumbag, evil.

 

I don't know why this canard about the Chicago horse is still being mentioned here. The dude was riding his own horse, not a Police one.

 

That's not good.

 

Totally ********ed up..............I hope this tape is released to the media ASAP.

 

If you are a governor why don't you just make up an excuse as to why you can't take his call?

 

I heard from a friend who just bought a place near Farragut North metro in DC. She took a walk down to Lafayette Square. On the way there she noticed that people were indiscriminate when it came to looting. One of my favorite lunch spots, Julia's Empanadas had its windows smashed. The sports bar next to it had football matches on all day on weekends. A lot of family businesses (convenience stores and non-chain eateries) were smashed.


BTW the second pic is of the Tadeusz Kościuszko Monument. A monument/statue dedicated to commemorate the Polish and American hero, general Tadeusz Kościuszko, who supported the American cause during the Revolution. A close friend of Thomas Jefferson's, with whom he shared ideals of human rights, Kościuszko wrote a will in 1798 dedicating his U.S. assets to the education and freedom of U.S. slaves.

 

Am I the only one who thinks that looked staged?

 

My county is expecting large protests; I have my doubts, but office has been closed and half of my co-workers have gone home.

 

Or suggest he have a staffer research "Gaspe affair" and "Boston Massacre" and "Lexington and Concord" for him...

 

I still think it is good that the Govs join the call, particularly those not on his side. They will know exactly what NOT to do when listening to this loonie. Furthermore, how will we find out about his rants if they don't join the call?

 

I can see Trump now. "Gaspe? Did I do her?"

 

Some wiseass should say "Sorry, can't hear you so well, Mr. President. Maybe come out of your bunker."

 

Well then their analysts let them down.

Know your audience

 

This mofo is completely off his rockers.....

LATER ON THE CALL Trump urges new laws banning flag-burning. "If a state wanted to try to pass a law that you’re not allowed to burn flags, with a certain punishment – a strong punishment – I would think that the United States government would be backing you up all the way.

It was just on cnn...

 

This he entire justice system?

Jury of 12?

 

It would be very bad if the governors listen to him. However, I think even few Republicans will do so, and no Democrats. They've learned that he blusters and rants, but if you blow him off there's not much that he can or will do. Also, he looks to be the lamest of lame ducks politically.

 

They said the Maine(?) Governor asked him not to come citing security concerns.

It just caused him to dig in his heels and insist on going there
