Some are mad he hasn't used the military to put down the rioting yet. Raheem Kassam, for one.

British far right activist urging the President of the United States to use the military against American citizens surely doesn't play well?

He won't do squat because he can't do squat in this situation. He can't just declare martial law. It's almost the ideal situation for him with regards to his base as they will see him "trying" to be tough and being stopped by liberal lefties or whatever.

I agree. Trump rarely engages in anything substantive. It's mostly trolling and winning battles of optics.

In fairness Raheem is like a moderate over here

That's moderate? What are the extremists calling for?

Hey Dan, maybe you should stick to your "but orange man bad" banter, I swear it doesn't make you look like a complete tit

Nearly 60 years since Bob Dylan sang this at a civil rights march in Washington and nothing has changed really has it. Shame on them. Shame on all of us. Every last one of us that still allow this to happen in our world.

When I was a kid Democrats were the pro-1A crowd and the Christian Coalition was trying to tell the country what could and could not be said. I agree, things have changed.

Yea, sorry about that, the first part of the post was from a scrapped previous post.
C-span showed GHW Bush‘s address to the nationduring the 92 LA riots. It was very good.

I don't get this "if states don't get it under control I will send in teh military". So he's going to force New York or California to allow the military to take charge? pfft, not a chance that won't go down without bloodshed.

The post I quoted was literally "orange man bad" but keep up, I swear it doesn't make you look like a complete sheeple.

I'm joking (kind of). I think most conservatives want the police to get more aggressive with rioters, but I'm not sure how they feel about military involvement. I support the use of the national guard in the manner they've been used so far around here (not aware of any actual issues involving the guard).

Most importantly, I don't want those arrested to be immediately released to flee the region and never be heard from again.

It is, and it’s accurate

I'd make a similar argument about the absurdity of the modern left, but I think we've covered this ground.

I stand to be corrected but every city, and most states that have major looting are solid Democrat locations. They are responsible for the policing of said places.
