Trump’s refusal to seek a common bipartisan way forward at a time of profound national anger, fear and mourning was a stunning move for a sitting US president, even by his standards.

Trump has never been a unifier. He loves division, even among his staff. He finds delight in seeing people tear each other apart. This is typical of a narcissistic bully. He will delight if a Dem is murdered, just like he sat and enjoyed the mob on J6 that he helped pay for.

Unity now??? are you kidding?... you can't unify with evil... you must defeat it... and we will...

Unity now??? are you kidding?... you can't unify with evil... you must defeat it... and we will...

So you're saying that your side will commit violence on the left now?

This notion that the left is far more violent than the right is stupid. Your side has been plenty violent too. The vast majority of people though, are not violent. You guys are just radacalizing yourselves for no good reason.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Not surprising. Probably hoping a civil war will break out, so he can declare an emergency and kill off further elections. Nothing new here.

one more diversion from the client list

There is no unifying with the brownshirt demafasict

That like suggesting Israel should unify with Hamas

Not possible

ANTIFA-BLM????? Remember the looting, the riots after George Floyd
Just like the looting and the rioting after Charlie Kirk, huh? Oh wait.....
Oh come on now, take off those horse blinders.

 

[JWBooth]

Dems have no interest in unity......period end of story

The Dimocraps notion of unity begins and ends with the capitulation of the opposition. **** ‘em and feed ‘em fish heads.

Jan 6th?

https://www.adl.org/resources/press...lated-murders-set-increase-2025-despite-third - Headline: "All extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists; Growing concern about a return of violent attacks by homegrown Islamist extremists"

You guys act like there is so much political violence from the left when there isn't.

The right wing repsonse to this is unprecendented. It's shocking that they are weaponizing this. It is reckless and dangerous, and some of the comments in this forum are awful. If the democrats reacted like this when Melissa Hortman was assassinated you would be outraged.

It's one set of rules for your own republicans, and another for democrats. You never hold your own accountable.

It's ironic that you're talking about horse blinders? Have you even read the Jan 6th Committee report?
Or do you just mindlessly believe the report is fake news? You guys voted in Trump, a guy that literally attempted to steal an election in 2020. Trump is and has been the biggest threat to democracy that the US has seen in a long time.
Let me leave you with a quote from your very own former VP, Mike Pence (don't hang him now):
"I want the American People to know that I had no right to overturn the election. And that on that day, President Trump asked me to put him over the constitution, but I choose the constitution, and I always will. Anyone who puts themself over the constitution should never be President of the United States, and anyone who asks someone else to put themselves over the constitution should never be President of the United States again. But what the president maintained that day, and frankly has said over and over again over the last 2.5 years, is completely false." - Mike Pence 2 Aug 2023
And this comment from Mike Pence makes a whole lot more sense if you actually read the Jan 6th Committee report. Once again, if a Democrat had done anything half as bad as that, and even had their former VP say that about them, then you would never stop hearing the end of it in your right wing media outlets.

There's so many things that Trump has done that should be enough to stop supporting him. Basic reasoning and logic should be enough, but instead you are all getting radacalized by an imaginery enemy.

 

[Zincwarrior]

We'll see.

Grocery prices are up. Jobs are down. You think Orange Jesus will declare martial law before the election?

 

[Man With A Plan]

They sure haven't come up with any candidate to impress anybody. I don't think, they have figured out, some of their positions on social issues, need to be cut loose, also. I do have to agree from a constitutional standpoint, it is wrong for the president to put troops on the street when there is no emergency, insurrection, or invasion. But, right now, Republicans want to be the central control police state party, getting people used to seeing it, though mostly just picking up trash on streets and in parks. Also, makes me glad, I retired from Guard, shortly after my last active duty, years ago. That is no reason to bring them into a city, for the city or for the Guardsmen. Plus, the Dems do not support carving up Ukraine and giving it to Russia to achieve peace, just because the dumb ass dumbass war criminal Putin cannot make headway in his criminally illegal invasion. And, I am truly not impressed with the future based on Donny's tariff based economic policy. You really cannot tax your way into prosperity, but that is just a conservative view point, and the Conservatives have been primaried out of office.

I have a distinct feeling that the law abiding citizens of DC would disagree with your contention that there is no reason to bring the National Guard into Washington, White. When you can't go out at night to a restaurant or a ball game because it's too dangerous to be out after dark...what kind of life is that? When you can't wear an expensive watch, or jewelry or drive a nice car because doing so will get you mugged or car jacked...what kind of life is that?

Somehow the left is "connecting" the dots between using the National Guard to restore law and order with using the military against citizens. It's hyperbole. We use the National Guard to patrol our streets to prevent looting in the event of a natural disaster. We do so because it's an emergency. People's lives are in jeopardy. So how is that different from using the National Guard to patrol our streets to prevent murders, muggings and jar jacking?

As far as the tariffs are concerned? They really haven't increased inflation. On the other hand they have pulled in a lot of revenue that I hope will be put towards lowering the national debt. The fact is we didn't have a national income tax until the 1930's and the government RAN solely on revenues collected from tariffs! Trump's tariffs got us much better trade deals and massive amounts of investment money coming back into the the US. So what is it about Trump's tariff polices that doesn't impress you?

Nope. I think democrats are cooked.

You do realize that the Jan. 6th "report" was a totally biased presentation that only showed us what made Trump look bad and hid anything that didn't...right? There is a reason why people on that committee got preemptive pardons, Redrick and it wasn't because they did things on the up and up. That committee was the closest thing to a Soviet "Star Chamber" as we've ever seen in this country.

Not one arrest has been done by Guardsmen there. They have backed up "Zero" criminal arrests by local law enforcement. They have no training in law enforcement and in fact are not restoring anything, other than acting as a symbol, unless you count picking up litter and doing civic beautification work. Trash pickup and civic beautification is clearly not part of The Guard's mission, and a misuse of Federal troops. It is a "show the flag" mission, and they are being misused, simply to supply them with busy work. I know, as I was part of a state Guard civil disturbance operation, where the Guard was used to establish/enforce curfew, protect public infrastructure, react in overwhelming force to gunfire, in protection of that infrastructure, and the guardsmen manning the fire trucks were being harassed by gunfire, while protecting private property, during that emergency, declared by the Governor, at the time.

Being a fiscal conservative on economics, I am more of a free trader and definitely against increased taxation. You cannot tax American business and people into prosperity. Republicans used to know this, back when they were mostly conservatives.

The feds took control of the DC police and finally let them do their job the Dimtards running DC prevented them from doing.


The guard came in to free them up to do just that.

Facts on the ground prove it worked.

Stay stupid, it’s what you do best.

 

[martybegan]

Trump wants unity like Putin wants peace.

He thrives on chaos. Unity requires maturity. No deal.

His friend just got shot and killed live on social media, and he's supposed to knuckle under to the left because of it?

Clean your own house first, and then maybe we can talk.

 

[Mac1958]

Yeah, Trump was really BROKEN UP about his "friend".

So you see all the trucks?

Deflection noted, and pitied.

You are half right, but only half. They were correct to take control of the DC police, in order to control crime in that city, due to the fact, DC under Democrat local control, was not doing it, and whether the locals like it or not, it is a district under Federal control, as it was designed to be, from the start, but Congress, has a history of letting locals handle, without exercising federak control oversite, until now. The guard has not freed up anything. Local police were not picking up trash, nor planting trees and The Guard is not patrolling in any significant way, nor exercising arrest powers and mostly not even carrying live ammunition. They are purely symbolic.

Unity is antithetical to the trumpian project.

Incorrect. Did you read the report?

Where is the evidence you have that the Jan 6th Committee report is misleading? Do you even have anything other some right winger telling you not to believe it?
How about you go and read it. And especially the stuff related to Pence. It makes his comments make even more sense when you know what went down.

Star Chamber is a terrible comparison. The hearings were public, televised, and the evidence and transcripts were published. It was open, heavily documented, and largely reliant on testimony from Republicans inside Trump’s administration. You can literally read the report, but you don't because your God Trump demands that you don't.

If anything, Merrick Garland moved way to cautiously in investigating because him and other officials were worried about appearing politically motivated.

The reason that those committee members were pre-emptively pardoned is because Trump has heavily suggested going after people that he felt wronged by. He said multiple times that the Jan 6th Committee members should go to jail. Trump also vowed to pursue the prosecutors and federal investigators involved in the cases he was invovled in. It was protection against politically motivated prosecutions. It was absolutely the correct decision to pre-emptively pardon them, and the fact it even had to be done speaks volumes about this adminstration.

On August 1, 2023, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four felony counts related to Jan. 6:
Conspiracy to defraud the United States
Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
Obstruction of an official proceeding
Conspiracy against rights (to disenfranchise voters)

And his legal defense for a lot of these cases....is that he shouldn't be convicted because of he had presidential immunity. Basically, "Even if all this happened, I was president, so you can’t prosecute me". That's what the supreme court ruling on presidential immunity was about (and another thing that you're fine with normalizing until when/if a democratic president utilizes it, I am sure). His whole defense was to delay the criminal cases until he could be elected.

And with his election as President, many of these legal cases are no longer going to go forwared due to the justice department policy that prohibits taking criminal action against a sitting president.

Like I said, you guys don't hold your own accoutable for anything. The president of the United States launced a scam memecoin on his supporter base the day before his inaguation. He can literally run a well known scam on you guys and you don't care. Not to mention the problems of corruption with a memecoin and the conflict of interests it causes. Once again, it's republicans that are introducing and normalizing new methods of corruption.....but you won't complain about it until a democrat does something similar, and then you'll suddenly forget that it was republicans that introduced it and normalized it.

Your party does things that you have no defense for and cannot defend other than claiming it's fake news without any evidence. Imagine your own president running a scam coin on you lol.
