Trump waited FIFTY DAYS

Local officials refused to control their city.

Very sad case.

Bullshit.  Homeland Security issued a list of incidents justifying their probably illegal incursion into Portland to unlawfully detain and attack protesters and they were all graffiti incidents.

Vandalism doesn't justify sending in a secret police force to batter protesters.

Trump Admin will take any pretense to go into our cities and wreak havoc to rev up the base and distract from their COVID response.

And for your "FIFTY DAYS"...

Trump has been talking about sending border patrol tactical units into so-called sanctuary cities since February at least. 

So more like negative fifty days.

In earlier days that's what was known as the "Gleiwitz Incident."  If nothing else, this administration has allowed me to violate Godwin's Law with impunity.

Even Godwin acknowledges you have to call Nazis Nazis.

Clear unprovoked assault and battery

Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin posted several videos documenting the events Sunday as they unfolded. She said Black Lives Matter protesters swarmed the stage and attacked several women attending the pro-police rally, some using collapsable batons.

No, it still doesn't.

Good try, Nazi.

Yep,  Godwin always said his law was neutral,  a conjecture that all heated web discussions will include a parallel to Nazi Germany.  He never says that the parallel can't be valid.

...for example, the Geheime Staatspolizei, or secret state police, were the branch that wore no uniforms and would (cough) grab people and haul them off in unmarked cars....known by an acronym that's now often paired with the word "tactics. "

More, he went so far as to say that the comparisons with the Trump administration were explicitly appropriate.

Some states keep smashing unwanted Covid-19 records as a Trump official says the surge is real

Yeah, there we go, being led by the nose again.

"We're not going to let New York and Chicago and Philadelphia, Detroit and Baltimore and all of these, Oakland is a mess. We're not going to let this happen in our country. All run by liberal Democrats," Trump said.

So I guess I'm good to go.  I can resume "Trump's relative fell of the guard tower" and "the speech was better in its original German" jokes.  Excellent.

You quote him and still can't recognize when you are being handed incoherent rambling.

If he (or others) had been addressing THE UNDERLYING ISSUES instead of ignoring them or lying about them for DECADES, then there would not be unrest.

But it takes unrest to get the attention of people like you and Trump. Otherwise it's status quo and nothing needs to be done.

Your hypocrisy is showing.

There are some neighborhoods in Paterson and Newark not too far from you where you can go put your epic whiteness to the test, Kiid.

Go impose some “Law and Order”.

Meanwhile, shut the fuck up, coward nimrod.
