Trump must rot in prison for rest of his life :idc:

The definition of terrorism is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." Where's the stretch?

Fair point - where were the authorities when the riots were going on throughout the summer? Did they sit on their hands because it was only normal citizens who were the victims, and not politicians?

Germany is doing a special broadcast about this, i can translate this tweet

there are 13 days to go yet folks

You think BLM would have just been allowed to walk into the building like that with guns?

You think the MAGA mob woukd have been allowed to burn their towns to the ground? Why didn't the police actually do anything to stop the riots?

Because they were told to stand down by Democrat Mayor's.

They even took over a part of Seattle and declared it a Country, with borders.

To get things into perspective ,Trumps words were NOT exactly as portrayed,he said "people will walk to Washington" or words to that effect,just another example of twisting his words to suit some of the media,this was debated this morning on the JV show, he never actually told the people to go and riot,that is what I gathered from the debate anyway. he really should just bow out gracefully and go off into the sunset. The people involved should be ashamed of themselves,and conceed that he lost.

He did, without being explicit. It's called plausible deniability.

"Plausible deniability is the ability of people, typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command, to deny knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed by others in an organizational hierarchy because of a lack or absence of evidence that can confirm their participation, even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully ignorant of the actions."

Trump relies on this concept a lot.

You mean like all the tear gas and dragging folks off in unmarked vehicles by unidentified police officers? There were example of mothers with linked arms being shot with rubber bullets as they sang. This was all in the face of another police brutality incident that kicked the protests off.

When? The source cited for this seems to be a video of one dude being led away before the vid ends, without showing what happened before or after. There's no proof it was a regular occurence.

Even wkth a few random examples of the police doing things they shouldn't during the riots, they obviously didn't handle them properly, they should never have been allowed to escalate as fwr as they did.

BLM was the result of decades of abuse, not decades of right-wing white grievance politics.

You'll never take back your country with weakness - Trump yesterday

Lets have a trial by combat - Giuliani yesterday

Unless he said "everyone storm the capitol" then people will cognitive dissonance themselves into oblivion rather than admit they could have been wrong about trump all along.

Doesn't excuse inflicting riots upon innocent people. If they can't protest peacefully, they should take it to the police and lawmakers.

Who are you referring to? Who needs to protest peacefully?

The rioters from over the summer and the MAGA thugs.

It didn't happen in a vacuum. People have been putting up with this for decades and centuries. After every police murder they were lectured, they were dismissed with blue lives matter and all lives matter. The fact you're both siding this is weird tbh.

It's an easy thing to both-side, people who think it's okay to loot and burn aren't the "good guys", even if there are problems with law enforcement. But if they're gonna use violence, it shouldn't be aimed at innocent people who have nothing to do with their problems.

and yet they let the cities burn? the police really does need reforming over there!
