So, by that logic, protesters should use violence? Is that what you're saying? I mean, if the police are already going to frame them, then we should just give them what they want, and turn this into an all out massacre?

Man, you guys are trying so hard to start a civil war. it's pretty transparent at this point, who you're working for.

Lol! I can't believe I need to say this...rubber bullets are not the same thing as live rounds. And they are using them, in order to escalate the situation. They want the protesters to fight back, in order to give them the excuse they need to take it to the next level. Which is exactly why they need to keep their shit together.

If those protesters give them what they want, then people will actually start getting hurt, for real. Stop pretending like we're already there. That kind of hyperbolic drama is entirely unhelpful.

He's telling people to keep the protests peaceful. He's literally speaking from 1st hand experience about what works to achieve your goals.

How exactly does that play into Trump's narrative?

Lol! You just almost made me spew coffee out of my nose.

This is going to run afoul of the Citizens United ruling.

So, does this mean this is going to be the last hurricane season? Phew! About time. Hurricanes suck. Thanks Trump!

I don't think Hasan actually read Bernie's post.

He needs to be bankrupted. Then he needs to be blacklisted. He should never be allowed near money again.

The people setting those fires should absolutely be charged for their actions. But their actions don't negate the Constitutional rights of everyone else who is protesting. And calling in the National guard before the local authorities have declared the situation to be out of their control, is a direct violation of Constitutional law.

This is what the internet is for.

“But you have a governor who let the city burn down, didn’t want water to be sent down to him,” Trump complained about Newsom and January’s wildfires. “I mean, I sent billions of gallons of water. I wanted to do it in the first term. He wouldn’t do it over. I don’t know, they have environmental reasons, but there were no environmental reasons. It’s, I think it’s just a political philosophy. But it’s lucky for the people in Los Angeles and in California that we did what we did.”

They dumped an entire reservoir full of water designed for agriculture purposes, into the fucking ocean! That reservoir didn't even connect to LA's supply.

Did Trump declare martial law while I was asleep? Because last time I checked, he can't deploy the military on US soil unless the country is in a state of emergency. And peaceful protests don't count.
