We Are Witnessing The Birth Of A Movement And The Downfall Of A President

[bigrebnc1775]

It may well be that the Age of Trump has a silver lining: That it taught us what we don't want to be as an intelligent, civilized country.

Talk about irony. But life is funny that way.

blacks;
murder 4 times the rate
rape 2 times the rate
hate crimes 2 times the rate
crime higher rates
etc
blacks are the violent ones
..these flash mobs that stole and destroyed [ when there was NO black death by cop ] were blacks--KIDS--DOZENS of them
..same with natural disaster looting

Don't you wish Trump would bring that stuff up?

Why should he leftist would spin into another racist rant

There has been a turning. A protest against the murder of a black man by police in Minneapolis has become a movement. Demonstrations, which began almost two weeks ago, are ongoing. They are huge. They are nationwide. They are peaceful. They show no signs of stopping. They are protesting the death of a man who should not have had to die, and they are protesting the man who seemingly gave permission for him to be murdered by the intolerance and racism he has openly promoted for more than four years.

But Trump's threat to use active-duty soldiers to suppress dissent has encountered some profound pushback from an unexpected source: the United States military. It began with a statement by former Secretary of Defense James Mattis in reaction to the use of force, and then something extraordinary happened. Mattis' clarion call was joined by more senior military figures, beginning with Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Barack Obama, was next. He wrote a piece for The Atlantic entitled, "I cannot remain silent."

Retired General John R. Allen weighed in next, writing ominously in Foreign Policy magazine. More retired generals weighed in later in the week, including two former chairs of the Joint Chiefs, Martin Dempsey and Richard Meyers.

But even more extraordinary than the retired officers who spoke out was the letter from the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark A. Milley, which was leaked to conservative pundit Bill Kristol on Thursday. Milley is said to have had a contentious meeting with Trump in the Oval Office on Monday before joining him in his infamous "walk" down the street cleared by police and National Guard soldiers. According to David Ignatius of the Washington Post, Milley, "whose temper can match Trump's...was vocal in reiterating his advice to the president against mobilizing troops, according to three knowledgeable sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity." That is Washington-speak for "they were yelling at each other."

For a military man, this comes close to a call for insurrection. Milley's message is written in a code that everyone in uniform will understand implicitly. By reminding every member of the military that the soldiers currently deployed on the street around the country are not there under the authority of the president, and by reminding them of their oath to the Constitution, he is telling them that the military will not be carrying out any un-American orders issued by Donald Trump.

It's the birth of a movement â and the downfall of a president

We've reached a turning point in the Trump era. The 2020 campaign is in the streets and he's losing

Trump has lost the military. He's done.

40% of blacks support Trump. Keep doing what you are doing!

Does that apply across all 57 States?

Um, there are only 50 states.

Tell Obama that.

[ColonelAngus]

It is funny that these stupid fucks are protesting the local governments THEY VOTED FOR.

LEFTIES are such idiots.

 

[Blackrook]

Close elections are the sign a nation is on the rise. Blowouts are always an ominous sign of a downward trend. Fact.

You just made that up, didn't you?

Yes. And as I pointed out earlier in this thread:

Yes, that old talk radio canard, referencing his comments in an interview about a grueling campaign travel schedule.

His point, obviously, was that they had traveled from one state to another, 56 times.

56 + 1= 57.

There. I kept it absolutely as simple as I could for you.

Even funnier this time because you simply repeated a lie and doubled down on idiocy. Brilliant strategy!

I believe that you guys believe that Obama thinks we have 57 states.

There. We all agree now.

We are witnessing the power of the Media and the Democrats to inflame violence in order to create division and chaos.

The election will take care of itself. What I want to know is when are you Democrats going to stop burning my country and destroying innocent peoples lives.

I agree your posts were brilliantly inventive, in an idiotic and ballsy way.

I'm sure at some point Obama has been made aware how many states we actually have.
If not before the gaffe then certainly after.

1. I disagree that this BLM movement will result in any substantial changes. There will be a lot of nice talk -- until the next unfortunate confrontation between a young gentleman and a cop (of any ethnicity). Sadly, the behavior of a considerable number of certain young men is never going to change.

2. I agree that President Trump should realize that many military leaders are also eager to kiss up to the rioters, so he should be very careful about issuing orders that will be disobeyed.

a. I understand that when President Richard Nixon was on his last legs, his Secretary of Defense ordered the military to ignore any orders that came directly from President Nixon.

What you believe isn't what we believe. That's perfectly obvious.

 

[badbob85037]

People in leftist controlled areas are protesting what they themselves created by who they voted for. Yet they want to blame president Trump. That's super hyper retarded.

There is a lot of Americans unable to find any facts, They believe what ever their political party tells them. With our disgraceful media who know nothing about truth spreading their Socialist agenda makes it worse. All one has to do is look at the states and cities controlled by democrats to see the reality of these leftist, massive crime, poverty, drugs, and no chance of escape. Being the party of the poor these democrats are Hell bound to keep them that way. With a joke of an education system making sure no one gets ahead. Until these people realize these democrats have been using them since the 60's giving them hand outs, not to be confused with a hand up it will not end. They will set there in their drug and crime infested inter city shit holes with no chance of getting out voting the democrat ticket.

These democrats will divide us by race, classes, wealth, shoe size, and any other means to bring Socialism a necessary step to Communism. The only thing they show to our Constitution is contempt as seen in obama for 8 years. But where will they learn about the Constitution? Not in our schools. They should start by reading the goals of Communism to take over our nation. They will see near all those goals have been made through the democrat party. It's just a shame we have more than our share of stupid in this country as seen in ones that vote democrat. The only way to turn this around is to stop giving these people the means not to starve or pick up arms.
