He can't really hurt China without hurting HK. The protestors want recognition of what China is doing and pro-dems have stated themselves that this new security law ends one country two systems. Trump has supported that and is no longer going to allow the mainland to earn money by using the Economic advantages given to HK. So sorry to burst your bubble, but happy to educate you.

And at that point I doubt too many people will care what they burn down. They will know what kicked it off. Like I mean what the hell. You don't open fire on a crowd of civilians that is mind numbingly horrific. If that is a common desire there in the states. I just have no words for how little value they put on human life. And how little they understand the motivations of those on the streets. I should also point out he is quoting someone who was using the saying to put down marches for the civil rights movement in the 60s.

If someone is burning down shops buildings cars etc it's no more protest in USA than it is in Tallaght. Don't obey the cops, you might get shot. Even preventing illegal activity can get you shot.. If the police are busy killing a guy in the street you would likely be killed yourself for intervening. I'm worried that a guy like chevaun can be an armed cop with so many complaints against him.https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-05-29/chauvin-shootings-complaints-minneapolis-floyd National guard will attempt to restore order.https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-05-30/national-guard-summoned-to-aid-cities-amid-police-clashes I don't want to get into a pointless and hollow discussion on the value of human life. The politicians, the media and most people really don't care about human life until it affects them. People are more concerned about bathrooms for non existent genders then ending wars, that's a fact. They happily go along with media lies justifying "freedom" wars in Libya, Syria etc. They were happy when Serbian towns had cluster bombs dropped on them, when a train was hit by cruise missiles, when a TV station was bombed. For America, if they wage enough war and become so immune to it, don't be surprised to see war like behaviour on the streets. Trump was the anti war candidate, Hilary was the get tough candidate who cheered on airstrikes, but no one cared because she had a vajay-jay and we had to have a woman president - yay! Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard has since got nowhere on the anti war ticket. Instead, a hair sniffing moron was found to run against Trump and once again the dysfunctional politics of US are laid bare.

Several U.S media outlets, CNN, Forbes, Snope, NYT, YouTube, WaPo reported on both men's employment coincidence.

All he had done is shove the reporting of the damage he has done under a carpet. I agree Republicans have gotten into a twist on occasion on who is in what bathroom but I am not sure that is what you meant. Certainly the US has lowe price on life. When was the last time shooting looters was suggested in Ireland? Never mind done. Whatever about the price of human life the fact remains opening fire wholesale will make things far far worse. I mean I wouldn't be surprised. Trump likes to look tough but it will makes things worse. Hair sniffing? Is that really the worst you can get? Trump is quoting anti civil rights scum and that is what you have?
Tea drinker wrote: » hair sniffing and uncomfortable women are all I need. I mean uhh all I need on Biden. You are agreeing on the point that politics in US are completely dysfunctional though? All the people in US and that is the *best* they can get against Trunp? And Trump is the best Republicans can get? In reality both are terrible, and we are into lesser of two evils. If we are being honest, which I seriously doubt.

My sense of it is that the WH wants to be able to say to Michiganders "When that woman from Michigan stopped y'all from being free, and y'all lovely people were forced to protest so beautifully and peacefully by bringing yeer machine guns into the State parliament, dressed like Rambo, remember that The President had yeer back!" They don't give a fig about the actual outcome of the case.

Not to mention he clearly isn't experienced in politics to be leading the nation. The past 3 months have shown us that Its like putting a 5 year in the pilot seat and expecting him to land plane once automatic pilot is switched off!
