[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to vote for Trump. This is crazy. It’s like the satire account Titania McCrath is mainstream. Sometimes it’s just too much to handle. [/quote] Because if he wins things will calm down? You are a special kind of stupid. [/quote] DP. I, for one, do not wish to reward these rioters, socialists, and anarchists with their goal. [/quote] +1. Joe is so weak, his strings are being pulled from the left. A Biden win would be a victory for this set.[/quote] Zzzzz. All of this is happening in Trump’s America. Why doesn’t he start a dialogue with protestors?[/quote] Haha. Good one. You don't "dialogue" with fruitcakes, PP. Haven't you learned that from all your time on DCUM?[/quote] Nationwide protests are Trump’s carnage. He owns it, just like how he owns COVID.[/quote] +100 [b]The Obama/Biden administration faced the protests and riots in Ferguson and Baltimore head on. They opened a constructive dialogue with the rioters and protesters in both situations. And they coolly brought an end to those unfortunate situations with no loss of life. [/b] I’m not seeing that here at all with Drumpf. All I see is a fat racist who would rather play golf than engage with his constituents.[/quote] What? This is revisionist history. I like Pres Obama, but if we can't talk facts we need to stay out of the discussion.[/quote] I don’t know where you were when the riots in Baltimore and in Ferguson happened, but what is mentioned above is 100% accurate. Maybe you were working with State, or an NGO, and weren’t here in the USA when that went down? At any rate, those situations were diffused by the adults in the room, i.e., Obama and Biden. They were instrumental in bringing about a peaceful ending to tense situations, and did so by constructive engagement with the looters and protesters. Of course, if you were abroad and the local media where you were sensationalized what happened, I can’t fault you for thinking that things were different than they were[/quote] Baltimore recorded 43 homicides in the month of May 2015, the second deadliest month on record and the worst since December 1971 when 44 homicides were recorded. So I am not sure how you are claiming no loss of life. As for Ferguson: Kajieme Powell: Shot by police after pulling a knife That is all I can remember right now. Baltimore: On April 28, President Barack Obama strongly condemned the violence during a White House press conference, saying, "There's no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday. It is counterproductive. ... When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting. They're not making a statement. They're stealing. When they burn down a building, they're committing arson. And they're destroying and undermining businesses and opportunities in their own communities. That robs jobs and opportunity from people in that area." Obama went on to applaud the actions of peaceful protesters who he felt were being undermined by the violence, and called upon the nation to take meaningful action to collectively solve poverty and law enforcement issues fueling what he described as "a crisis". On social media and elsewhere, Mayor Rawlings-Blake and President Obama were criticized for calling the rioters "thugs" on April 28. [/quote]
