Trump threatening to deploy troops in the US, then having the Secret Service and US Marshalls fire on peaceful protestors with rubber bullets so he could clear them out for a photo op at St. John’s?

Yeah it was terrible and the opposite of what I expected Trump to do Monday night.

I will tell you I have heard people in the suburbs saying they want a gun...people that would never consider one and were opposed in the past. Something is going on.

[Larry]

Blaming Trump for putting together a plan to protect people because a few of the people on the force did something dumb is silly.

[Larry]

Ax, as long as you get your information from the Washington Post you will continue to not be able to find your own ass.

[Copper]

This is the Secret Service.

They do the same for any president and the president doesn't get much choice in how they execute it.

I have seen them do some pretty outrageous stuff for Carter, Clinton and Obama. It is how they operate. Personally I don't like how they operate and I have told them so, more than once. It is overkill but that is what they want.

[Mik]

Copper is right. The Secret Service does not screw around. Most serious people I ever saw.

That said, all this law and order posturing is going to give us our Tiananmen Square. We do NOT want that.

Sure, the Secret Service has their protocols.
Trump and his lackeys are too stupid or too inconsiderate to account for those protocols with his decision.

Imagine:

1. Trump: When does the curfew end?
2. Lackey: 7pm.
3. Trump: How much time do we need to get the site ready for my photo op?
4. Secret Service: half hour
5. Trump: OK, let’s do my photo op at 7:30

Trump and his lackey failed step 3, so steps 3 and onwards did not happen, and you end up with the use of violent force on peaceful protesters, trampling over the First Amendment in the process.

@Loki these guy’s weren’t rioting or looting, they were standing around it was pretty peaceful. I was listening to one of them being interviewed on the radio when it started. It was quiet in the background, the reporter was describing the peaceful scene, then all hell broke loose as flash bangs began to drop.

I've watched dozens of videos and spoke with my friends who participated. That particular incident, at that location and at that time, was peaceful. Anyone who says otherwise is an asshole.

She's the rector of the St.John's in Georgetown, not Lafayette, but she was at the latter yesterday. Look her up on social media, she's quite the radical.

Imagine:

Why?

That didn't happen.

You just made this up.

Nor would it ever happen.

This is really deranged.

Lock her up.

Here’s the whole statement.

[Copper]

When the president moves anywhere, everyone gets out of the way.

It has nothing to do with the constitution.

I don't like it.

But that is how it has worked for decades, rights be damned.

+1

We need people to start calming the fuck down, and our leaders need to help that, not make things more volatile.

Democrats like Ax always make up stuff. The very thing he's talking about - the "photo op" thing - is a lie made up by a Washington Post writer. It's not true, but Ax doesn't care. He has been conditioned to believe stupid shit.

[xenon]

@Larry there's a video posted two posts before yours by the white house that clearly show it was a "photo op"

[Larry]

I didn't say they didn't take a photo.

Jesus.
