I recall all the cheering over the felonies being charged in Louisville.....then the charges were dropped.
what do you want to happen with this open insurrection? do you want the federal government drive from the cities? do you want the federal government to fall?
I want the government to listen to the grievences of the people.
burning down buildings and killing innocent is the new way of communicating, right?
The founders understood that when the government wouldn't listen that is what you are stuck with. But this has been explained to you before.
Clearly, you were educated in Wuhan as you have no idea what the American Founders crafted.
I'll highlight the part you missed in your Chinese classroom
" First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson.
ok - now what countries push a single narrative under penalty of legal and mass social recourse if you don't follow along?
go ahead - let me know when in the US or where in the US constitution it was ok to shove your narrative over all others in such a manner. when you can't do that - let me know what past leaders have done that.
then come back and try again.
I've addressed this over and over.

So then this is a rebellion, not a peaceful protest.
Make up your ******* mind.
You don't know what you are talking about.
You keep saying these are peaceful protests
Then you quote Jefferson to say rebellions are necessary at times.
Hence you are fill of shit and I know exactly what I'm talking about.

I keep saying that those who are protesting peacefully are protesting peacefully........and those who aren't, aren't.
Then you quote Jefferson to say rebellions are necessary at times.

I have never said I didn't support those who have escalated things. Especially after Trump outright dismissed those protesting peacefully. I have NEVER argued that I only support peaceful protest.
You never really say anything, but you tend to say a lot of it.
and why should he call out those protesting peacefully when they are not who he is after? dismiss their legal activity and go after illegal.
common sense seems to befuddled you
“A riot is the language of the unheard.
MLK
but you people are heard all the time. so, what is your reason for rioting?
Why waste everyone's time? This has been addressed so many times.
because your stated reasons keep being obviously not true.
i mean, you've been making the argument, mostly not explicitly, that the riots are about being "heard".
but, your side dominated the media and pop culture. we hear your side of the debate constantly.
so that was a lie.
Where is this reform Trump said he was going to pass?
don't know, don't care. not my issue. are you implying that he not doing what he said he was going to do, is justification for open insurrection?
i personally, other than some of the prison reform, hope he does not do it. that is not why i supported him for the presidency, and i want him focused more on my issues, than the issues of an unwashed, commie mob.
I'm saying that like you, he isn't listening.
if you people are no longer respecting the peaceful transfer of power, when you lose an election,
why should we?
No idea what you are talking about.
i heard you. now the question is, are you going to hear me?
my question stands.
f you people are no longer respecting the peaceful transfer of power, when you lose an election,
why should we?
Power was handed over to Donald Trump peacefully on his Inauguration Day. All of the opposition to Donald Trump has been conducted both legally and constitutionally.
So just cut this whole line of bullshit or Donald Trump will be removed from office for sedition, by his own party.
power was handed over peacefully. but it was not respected by your side.
you were clear that "he was not your president" and that you would "resist".
and not all the resistance was legal or constitutional. the "investigations" launched on trump were both illegal and unconstitutional.
the protests, often broke laws, blocking traffic and the"protests" often were actually riots, and more and more the riots are looking like open insurrection.
my question stands.
if you people are no longer respecting the peaceful transfer of power, when you lose an election,
why should we?
Respect has to be EARNED and Trump has done NOTHING to earn anyone's respect. Just because enough people believed Trump's lies throughout the campaign and didn't look at his history, and incompetence that he got elected, doesn't mean he was worthy of respect.
Trump started his Presidency with a massive lie - the size of his Inauguration Day crowds. And when the mainstream media refused to go along with his lie, Trump doubled down on it and DEMANDED that everyone believe him. At that moment - attempting to force a proveable lie onto the American people, after all of the lies of the campaign, set the tone for his Administration.
Trump lies - even about things he has no reason to lie about, and he demands that the media support his lies, however damaging they may be. Hydroxychloroquine being a case in point. Even as every legitimate study done in the world has shown the drug is a KILLER when used in the treatment of this virus, Donald Trump is doubling down on his initial lie that this was a the "magic bullet", because he is incapable of saying "I was wrong", or even "I take full responsibility". For anything. It's always somebody else's fault.
I saw Obama interviewed as he was leaving the White House, and he asked about "regrets" or what he would have done differently. Libya was, in retrospect, a mistake. Failing to get out of Afghanistan. Not being able to close Gitmo. He thought the Dems had done a poor job of getting the message of their accomplishments out to the people.
Has Trump ever said anything except that he's the greatest President in American history, who made the biggest tax cuts in history? He crows about the "tremendous" job he's doing on the corona virus which is "the envy of the world", as the body count rises and the rest of the world looks on horrified. Vladimir Putin applauded the announcement of troops being pulled out of Germany.
And now Donald J. Trump has achieved what the NATO Accord was designed to prevent from EVER happening: The German Chancellor is now the President, not only of a united Germany, but of the Eurpean Union, and Germany is quickly re-arming, to twart a very real threat from Russia. Hello 1944, with Germany now the leader of the entire EU, save Great Britain. Except this time, they didn't have to destroy half of Europe to take it over. They were elected to lead Europe, and Merkel is the strongest leader in Europe.
But if the goal was to build a strong stable Europe and restrain German ambitions, well Trump has just undone 70 years of peace and progress and re-set Europe geopolitically to 1944, before Stalin overran Eastern Europe and created the Soviet Empire. Since Putin's goal, is, was and always shall be to restore the old Soviet Empire, how could Putin not be jubliant today.
Just remember the economics here. When communism fell, the Russians refused to allow anyone other than Russians to buy up the infrastructure and assets that they auctioned off when they ended communism. Unlike other communist countries like Poland, the Ukraine, and South Africa, where large American corporations came in and got hold of key infrastructure assets - like publically owned utilities, railroads, banks, and started funnelling capital out of these countries to the USA.
When Eastern Europe was in the grip of the Soviets, no American companies were allowed to do business in any of these countries. There was no McDonald's, no Walmart, and no Microsoft. The trade deals that Trump now decries, gave these corporations access to these markets. There were no American movies in the theatres, or music in the stores. Patents and trade marks were ignored, and stolen.
So the USA now has more than a passing interest in maintaining the gains made by NATO, because what those troops are really doing there, is maintaining stable and safe markets for "American interests", in Europe. American Interests are not, as people have long believed, the safety and security of the American people, or the USA being called upon to be the "world's policeman", they are the real estate, and fixed assets owned by American corporations, and access to markets in "friendly" countries.
Trump has just endangered American corporate assets and markets, in Eastern Europe which have opened up since the fall of communism, and encourage other nations to do the same. All of these multi-national corporations will be pushed out of Europe and Asia, and you'll lose those markets too.
American imports aren't dropping, but American exports are. Nobody wants to do business with you. Nobody trusts. The rest of the world views the USA as a rogue nation lead by a mad man.
Get your house in order.
