DT Turns Independence Celebration Into Political Campaign Rally

[ThatOwlWoman]

By saying there's good people on both sides lol.

I'm sure that was 1) not what he really meant, 2) taken out of context, 3) true, and/or 4) fake news.

"“This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore,” Trump said. He lamented “cancel culture” and charged that some on the political left hope to “defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children.” He said Americans should speak proudly of their heritage and shouldn’t have to apologize for its history."

Is anyone surprised?

I was actually surprised. It was his best speech despite some divisive remarks, dog whistles and a few lies.

[Matt Dillon]

Total disregard for the risk of transmission:

"The small town of Keystone, which lies a couple of miles from the monument, was buzzing with people Friday hoping to catch a glimpse of the fireworks and the president. Many wore pro-Trump T-shirts and hats. Few wore masks."

And that did not go unnoticed:

"Mike Harris of Rapid City, who said he was a Republican, wore a mask and waved an anti-Trump flag. He also was sporting a handgun on each hip. He said he was worried the event would spark a COVID-19 outbreak.

“I think it’s a bad example being set by our president and our governor,” Harris said."

But..but muh Corona!

Trump hit it over the wall last night. One ANTIFA got arrested last week. They have 650 of their names. There's going to be some more hammers dropping on these seditious bastards.

Over 130 rioters arrested in my town.

I don't view it like that. This guy is intentionally DIVIDING the Country against itself. Our Enemies are using the 'Divide & Conquer' tactic against us, ... Trump is playing right into their hands.

How do you unite with domestic terrorists that burn police stations and take over sections of cities then run by warlords with the blessing of local government? That riot and loot when the justice system is already doing its job?

[Nordberg]

Very true....

Very? There are degrees of true? Can it be semi-true?

More like a base hit. Great speech, who ever wrote it, but when Trump diverts into hate speech against other Americans, he's divisive and not acting like a leader, much less the President of the United States.

Hello anonymoose,



It is a matter of degree.

Normal presidents try to preside over the whole nation. This one only looks out for himself. He dupes the cult in order to maintain his power.

fortunately, he is finding out that what Lincoln said is true.

You cannot BS all the people all the time.

Agreed. Trump is very divisive. Not a good leadership quality. Not very Presidential.

I don't think anybody supports 'burning' or 'looting'. The local populace is wanting some change. Pass some fucking Laws making it illegal for Police to use the Nixon 'No-Knock' laws. Stop using the Police Department as a method to 'fund' the city through 'arrests' and 'tickets'. Stop 'choking out' Citizens.

I agree on the chokeholds and using tickets for revenue ( but they all do it).

No Knocks are different. when cops have to serve a warrant on violent individuals they need to move in ASAP.
Knocking and waiting just gives more time for the perp to arm up -puts them and cops in danger

Bullshit.
If someone is 'dangerous', plan on nabbing the guy when he is outside and visible.
Nixon 'No-Knock' is a hold over from the Drug War. (look around, Marijuana is legal now)

Glad he said what he said. It needed to be said. That is the mark of a real leader.
