If this is what a law-and-order presidency looks like, what is the alternative?
“When I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order to our country,” Donald Trump said four summers ago in Cleveland, as he accepted the nomination at the Republican National Convention. “In this race for the White House, I am the law-and-order candidate.”
On Monday in the Rose Garden, he echoed those words.
“I am your president of law and order, and an ally of all peaceful protesters,” Trump said, as police teargassed and corralled peaceful protesters just outside the White House. “But where there is no law, there is no opportunity. Where there is no justice, there is no liberty. Where there is no safety, there is no future.”
These words ring hollow today. After nearly a full term in office, Trump has delivered only chaos. Violent protests sweep the streets of cities across the nation, from large to small. Police are rioting, dealing with complaints about brutalizing civilians by brutalizing civilians. Heavily armed militias have invaded state legislatures. Nazis have marched in the streets of a bucolic college town. Mass shootings haunt the nation’s high schools and Walmarts and churches and commercial districts and music festivals and fairs. (To say nothing of more than 100,000 dead from COVID-19 and millions out of work.) If this is what a law-and-order presidency looks like, what is the alternative?

I have never never imagined that out government could ever sink this low.

During the red primaries, Bush said Trump was the chaos candidate who would be a chaos president. He had Trump pegged perfectly.

Trump has been actively reaching out to blacks since 2015.....notice how no one talks about that because it goes against the agenda.
We are so screwed.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

Trump is not responsible for this monkey shit show. But he will end it. Guar-on-teed.

Hilarious. One idiot in Minnesota does not mean every police officer, every person is the same.
That's common sense and fact. You might sell that shit to a dumb millennial or gen z'er, but not me.
Some real ignorant people in the world -- real, real dumb. But it does make me appreciate being wise.
