I’d like to say I’m surprised by this being Townhall.com, but I’d hate to lie.
“Peaceful” protests
Heavy handed? These treasonous bums need to be taken out and stacked like cordwood.
Townhall morphed into Mother Jones so slowly I hardly noticed.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. That’s the propaganda machine, for ya.
“...In response to largely peaceful demonstrations against police brutality....”
Clue to where the author is coming from. Left of Trotsky.
I'm going to need to see some examples of this. I think President Trump has been more than reasonable.
What is with Townhall? There have been two anti-Trump articles posted most recently.
This article brings up the specter of Richard Nixon?! Who gives a flip?
BLM is a Marxist sham. Everybody sees what’s going on.
The chattering class is so out of touch.
“...largely peaceful demonstrations...”
“...aerial fireworks including mortars; high intensity lasers targeting officers’ eyes; (and) thrown rocks, bottles, and balloons filled with paint...”
“...United States Courthouse has been vandalized repeatedly...”
attacking a U.S. Marshals Service deputy with a hammer on July 11...”
“...
Wow this guy is a horrible anti-Trump propagandist. He says lots of things without any real back up. Like that Nixon reference. He seems to be for many things Trump is for. But always figures out how Trump can be wrong in being for the same things. This is of course a sneaky propagandist trick to separate Trump from his followers. The whole point of these guys on the right is to weaken the rights message.
He’s getting rightfully brutalized in the comments.
I read two paragraphs. How in the world did this moron get onto Townhall? If anything, Trump has shown remarkable restraint with the Insurrection Act (military), but at the same time, has been actually DRAGGING HIS FEET with getting civilian federal agents into these places to both deal with people committing federal crimes (rioting, treason, etc.) and protecting federal properties.*
Heavy-handed??? Pffffft!
*I’ll admit I’m not sure how much the usual restrictions on federal action (getting permission from a sheriff — actually in the US code — or a governor) applies in this emergency.
In response to largely peaceful demonstrations against police brutality that have been punctuated by criminal behavior
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mostly peaceful is somewhat violent.
Heavy handed?! He’s shown a lot more restraint than I would have.
I understand the concept of “people will be people”, but when it’s your daughter they rape, you would at least like to see SOMEONE do a bit of prison time.
Townhall is trash like all #NeverTrump.
Townhall.com allows one to see what propaganda looks like but it’s not like we don’t hear it 24/7/365 from the liberal media.
These quisling little pussies writing about this nonsense don’t really understand that they are being saved by President Trump with these actions.
If order is not restored and the local authorities won’t put an end to this shit, the next steps become deadly to many.
If they won’t allow the Federal Officers to set things right, it then falls upon the citizens of that locality, along with citizens from the rest of the state and country, to take care of this issue.
When it comes to that point, the local authorities will likely “resist” the efforts to put down the anarchists, and then the game is really on. Their local officers and eventually the National Guard will be called upon to fight the citizens attempting to put an end to the BS.
Then the dance gets down to the real issue. The government vs the people.
Now that the connections are being made between never-Trumpers, Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation, they’re all panicking.
Their only hope of survival, on an existential level, is for Trump to be removed from office and the cabal of which they’ve always belonged put back into unchallenged power.
So much BS present here that I could only wade about a paragraph in before becoming so bogged down that I had to retreat. All I cn say is whatever Jacob Sullum, but honestly you missed the mark by a country mile.
