Headline says “protestors” - Trump, of course, was talking about rioters.

so it’s ‘unhinged’ to tell governors to get control of their states? alrighty then. Seems the majority-alcoholic reporters are the ones unhinged.

Remember last week when economists said that the economy would improve and how Dems were terrified this would mean that Trump gets reelected..I remember that, and than this happened..I think what happened is that the Dems told Antifa and others to start looting stores, destroy property, businesses, so the economy NEVER improves. Trump designated Antifa as a terrorist organization, now do the Dem party

Well, he’s on the right track but yak... yak... yak... does not go far enough. Trump should show videos of the looting and burning, followed by showing the faces of mayors and governors responsible. It would also make a great campaign ad since they’re all democrats.

Instead... “we have the greatest military in the world.” protecting other countries from this crap.

It’s one of those instances where a half-truth is passed off as truth.

The reason he was taken to the bunker was talked about in the below article, but, to the point, anarchists/occupy/blm/the front/whoever, were found to have planted ‘incendiary’ vehicles and I guess one was found by the WH :

“As observed in New York City and elsewhere, groups in D.C. are planting cars filled with incendiary materials for future use, Fox News is told. .... the lights were turned off due to “standard protocol,” not for security reasons. The complex’s external lights are normally disabled at 11 p.m. ET unless specific requests are made to keep them online”

[because, we’re supposed to be saving electricity to save the planet]

OOOOOOOOOH...One whole, entire _hour_ in the bunker?

Wanna bet SS said “stay put” and he said, “Hell with that.”?

Obama would still be locked down.

POTUS is not weak.

‘Dominate’ and ‘jail for 10 years’ are NOT *unhinged*.

... Lights Out...

Put target in darkness and aim strong searchlights at the attackers. This gives the advantage to the defenders.

How serious were the injuries to SS? Unless they were taking heavy gunfire, likely bruises, sprains, moderate burns. I think the report is exaggerated.

Lockdown=no one in/no one out. Makes sense when under attack. POTUS in bunker for a very short time and he was likely working throughout.

Despite Trump's projection of strength, he's mostly remained inside — including spending an hour in a bunker — tweeting since the protests began.

Couldn't end it without a slam at the President.

I dont remember the left going after George W Bush for going into a bunker when 9/11 happened“

Actually I think they did. People forget but W got trashed pretty much on a daily basis by MSM. He did nothing to defend himself and by the end of his term they got his numbers into the low 30’s taking the party down with him.
