Does that mean he can't leave to go golfing this weekend? I hope he is just seething with rage right now.

It's his own racism, inaction and intentional provocation of further violence that have sent people over the edge, but he will still continue to blame other people. I hope he strokes out.

unless the Boogaloo Bros infiltrate this one, as they did the so-called riots in Minneapolis.

I would not put it past them to injure or even kill him if they thought that would get them their civil war.

4. What did the Con tel the governor of Michigan again?
Fri May 29, 2020, 07:31 PM
May 2020


Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed alarm over an anti-lockdown protest at the state legislature, but President Donald Trump sided with the protesters, calling them "very good people." He called on Whitmer to negotiate with the demonstrato
rs. Hundreds of demonstrators, some of them armed, were objecting to the Governor's request to extend emergency powers. A number of them even entered the building and demanded to be let onto the House floor.

Come on Don the criminally negligent Con - negotiate with the protesters

Come outside and chat, donnie. You had so much to say about Frey. SMH.

that his stupid tweets have serious consequences.

He needs to learn that the American people are sick of his bullshit.

This is the best way for him to learn.

Lock him up.

He should have learned from the Historic Blue Wave of 18 months ago.

He learned nothing. He just kept digging deeper and deeper like the alleged rapist he is.




Lock him up.

I'm not really talking about his other failed policies and crimes. I specifically mean the riots.

He was safe and he knew it but he was scared. They tried to breach the barrier.

I think the rioting was partly due to the Covid response or lack thereof.

I actually think we aren't far from total anarchy. It would not surprise me if the riots right at the WH door continued unabated, and I would welcome it at this point.

any protestors. What a sniveling loser!

Why not just build a wall around the White House, you little weakling?

That'll make it all the more fun when we tear it down the day you're booted out of the people's house.
