--- “You have to dominate, if you don’t dominate you’re wasting your time. They’re going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks,” Trump said to the governors, according to audio of the call obtained by CBS News.

What is a are supposed to do?

I’m pretty sure that with the exception of protecting Federal buildings, the U.S. government has no function in riot control unless a state legislature or governor formally requests help to suppress an insurrection.

This CNBC article is a good example of how the media engineers a false narrative when they want to impugn Trump without misstating a fact. Trump’s quote refers to arresting “thugs”. He does not use the word protest or protesters in his quote because “thugs” implies the riots and rioters he is referring to and not legitimate protesters with picket signs. The reporter than paraphrases throughout the article using the word protest and protesters to make it appear that Trump wants to come down hard on legitimate protesters. Not once does he use the word rioters.

Trump has yet to ensure democraps have been prosecuted for their crimes after nearly 4 years. Trump is weak on crime.

They aren't there to protest. That word has entirely lost any meaning in those gathering, as has anything regarding Floyd or the police.

They've gathered because they're unhappy with their life and believe it's anything or any-ones fault this is so. Race will always be their scapegoat as will the police for stopping, arresting and imprisoning the criminals among them.

They are so quick to misjudge situations because most don't hold a mentality for any depth of critical thinking and instead go entirely by how they feel when they see anything .....Of course all communities have a share in that but it reveals itself consistently within the colored communities.

CNBC reporting on something reported by CBS. Disinformation, doubling down. No more believable than flat earthers or flying saucer sightings, but far more malevolent.

“Let us know when the Donald is appointed Emperor.”

Well, he was elected President of the United States who has authority over and appoints the Attorney General. Take a civic class sometime and learn how the government operates.

My civics teacher failed to mention how the Chief Executive controls prosecutions.

In fact, that sounds rather tyrannical, don’t you think?

No. Posted yesterday by another Freeper:

Regular army was used in 1932 to crush a protest by WWI veterans . Generally Douglas MacArthur was in charge.

The regular Army (combined 82nd Airborne and 101st Airborne) were used to bring and end to the Detroit Riots of 1967.

The 1st Marine Division and 7th Infantry Division were sent to curtail the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

The Insurrection Act:

(1) The President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to–

(A) restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that–

(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order; and

(ii) such violence results in a condition described in paragraph (2); or

(B) suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such insurrection, violation, combination, or conspiracy results in a condition described in paragraph (2).

Democrats should never be prosecuted for any crime? Is that it?

Bingo.

All along he has been giving them this chance. Guarding the Constitution by letting them call the shots. Until they parade their incompetence in front of the whole world. There goes the presidential election, and we are stuck with only state and city law. Now how do you like it?

Blasio’s daughter arrested. Meanwhile Trump’s high-end stores being looted. So transparent.

I wouldn’t bet on that remark. He is waiting for the right time, and the clowns will bring it to him right on schedule.
