Trump demands ten year sentences for 'disgraceful' protesters who tried to pull down an Andrew Jackson statue while building a 'Black House Autonomous Zone' outside the White House amid clashes with DC cops in riot gear
•Trump demanded prison sentences for 'disgraceful vandalism,' also considers Jackson his favorite president


(a) You understand that Trump can demand anything he wants and it has no legal impact?

(b) Of course he considers Jackson his favorite president, for all the same reason the folks were trying to pull down his statue. Jackson ignored and supported Georgia's ignoring of the Supreme Court's decision, allowing and encouraging the seizing of native's land in violation of treaties.

No doubt, you, too, applaud Jackson.

The removals, conducted under both Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, followed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which provided the president with powers to exchange land with Native tribes and provide infrastructure improvements on the existing lands.


You, too, ignore the Supreme Court. Like I said, you would like Jackson. Might makes right.

What I would do is start a conversation, instead of ignoring it, as you prefer.

Might doesn't always make right...sometimes it does though.

No, never.

Seattle's mayor says the city will move to wind down the 'occupied' protest zone
•There have been two shootings in the zone, including one that left a man dead



That's not all.  Violent crimes including rape have been on police reports, says the mayor.


But let's NEGOTIATE the removal of these people.

For every dirty cop fired and indicted, ten protesters will go home.

That’s a deal you could probably get.

The only reason that Jackson is trump’s favorite is that the nazis didn’t get to appoint one after World War II. Once again, you’d have to blame that on Antifa. My grand dad was part of Antifa’s navy and after the war he signed on with Western Electric for the globalist’s project of running phone lines between countries separated by oceans.

Red missed out on all of America’s greatness. It’s why he holds the shittiest dregs and rejects we produce in such high esteem.

Ward's hagiography of Pres Jackson has to be one of his funnier shticks here.

hagiography is not a synonym for verifiable history.
Not surprised is news to you.

Hagiography is precisely what you did.   
Hardly. I cited verifiable facts. If you want  the true picture of Andy Jackson there are scores of history books you can read.  He is more than worthy of his numerous statues. And his spot on the $20 bill.

If there’s one thing the trump cartel knows how to do (besides rape) it’s push book sales.

Highest death count in 12 days. The 7 day average daily death count ticked up for the first time since June 2nd. But maybe it's just a bump.

Or caused by testing!

Oh, also, the 7 day average daily new cases are at their level since more than 8 weeks ago and today's count was the 2nd highest single day count of the pandemic.

If current support for trump is signified by the capacity of a venue his campaign books for a rally, the goal is to bring that support down in the same proportion as the number of fanatics who actually attend at that venue. What’s 1/3 of his current 40% support? It doesn’t seem like a lot of support to be left with, but for trump it seems about right.

We have the most corrupt and inept Presdient in our history, who represents a deadly threat to the people of this country in so many ways, and a deadly threat to our democracy, with his disregard for our long-held core principles, but Red wants to talk about a Dem President from 170 years ago.

Red so wants to master 3-card Donnie, the favored slight of hand game of dear leader.
