Now one of those draft dodgers is now the President. 

Oh yeah, he had bone spurs. 

Sorry...BIG difference between someone with a medical defferment and someone who blatantly fled the country to avoid serving in the military...

[cachemoney]

A medical deferment his daddy bought for him. Those bone spurs sure didn't keep him from playing baseball or basketball in school and doesn't seem to hinder his golf game too much did they ?

He is no better or more honorable than someone who went over the border to shirk their duty to their country.

did you see the video? If that cop felt threatened by a skinny senior he should be looking for a different job.

That really is the problem,the way some cops go about doing stuff. You can choose to escalate things or de-escalate,but to bad the training doesnt cover that very well.

Here ya go.  Learn the truth.  Click on it and then click where it says "Show this thread"

The smug self-assurance among elitists in media, academia, politics, Hollywood, sports, and business that a sufficient amount of ideological alignment and/or a craven level of guilt-signaling obsequiousness will render them immune from the depredations of the mob is, quite simply, a pipe dream.

Thus, when a number of progressive politicians in Democrat-controlled cities who imposed draconian lock downs let "protesters" flout social-distancing edicts, while telling cops to stand down; when political hacks like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey grovel before black protesters about "coming to grips with my own brokenness"; or when white police officers wash the feet of BLM protesters while apologizing for the "sins" of the white race, the results of such fecklessness are eminently predictable: Cities are looted and burned, a humiliated Frey is sent packing by an angry mob, and calls to defund police departments reach crescendo pitch throughout the nation.

The mob expects nothing less. In fact, it demands much more, and rigid conformity goes right to the top of the list. 

George Floyd and the legitimate protests surrounding his death have been completely co-opted by rank, America-hating opportunists whose motives are crystal clear as soon as reasonable Americans ask themselves a simple question: Who supported the killing of George Floyd? No one in their right minds on any part of the political spectrum, that's who. Even an overwhelming majority of police have decried the actions of the four individuals involved, all of whom have been arrested and charged.

Thus another telling question inevitably arises: Who, exactly, is the "enemy" that must be vanquished so that "justice" can prevail?

The answer is as simple as it is damning: Anyone and everyone who fails to unquestioningly embrace each and every demand of a nihilist progressive mob. A mob every bit as virulent as any other mob that has sought absolute power throughout the history of mankind. A mob wholly disinterested in compromise, good will, or reconciliation. A mob decades in the making, courtesy of America-contemptuous, progressive indoctrinators presenting themselves as educators, entertainment industry titans who cater to the lowest common denominator, duplicitous multinational CEOs with no allegiance to this nation, progressive prosecutors who disdain the Rule of Law, craven politicians in both parties whose self-interest completely transcends statesmanship, and the useful-idiot talking heads in the media who shill for all of it, 24/7/365.

Let me know when you and your dragon are done burning down the country,

If your going to plagiarize other peoples viewpoints, you should at least give them credit for what your stealing.

You don't know that his daddy bought his deferment...You are just guessing, because  his daddy was rich...Perhaps he did, perhaps he didn't... Provide proof that something illegal occurred..

 

My statement concerning the people who CHOSE to flee the country rather than serve, with the knowledge  that they could not return without facing criminal charges, STANDS....

At age 19, 20 or 21  my friends and classmates and I certainly had things we would much rather be doing than serving in the military...However we chose to serve rather than  flee the country...The fact that they were allowed to return with no legal repercussions  sticks  in my craw, and a lot of other veterans from my era feel the same way..

Used to.  Got tired of people calling them a right wing conspiracy organization, rather than addressing the post.

I did watch the video as well as talk to a very good friend that was there and was also on the unit.

 

 

When being told to clear a street they don’t say, if someone’s over 75 and under 150lbs they can stay.

 

The officers were told to clear that street of protesters. That particular “protester” decided instead of listening to the police he was going to act like an asshole to the police. The choices he made brought on completely justifiable actions by the police.

 

You’ve been through police training? You know what they do and do not cover?

 

Cops are human beings, after dealing with these protests for nearly a week while being stuck on mandatory 16-18hr shifts I’m sure that particular officer was getting a little sick of the bullshit.

 

If you can’t understand that than you’re part of the problem. If you think you can do better there are departments across the country that are scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill spots!

Hard to get proof on much of anything Trump does. His school records are secret,his tax returns are secret. Why hide all that if everything is above board.?

Pandering to the rest of the world was Obama's game. Do we REALLY want to become a socialist, 3rd world shithole?

Strictly my opinion, but Donald Trump is exactly what this country needs right now. Make no mistake about it, the democrats and people behind them are deathly afraid of him, and those of us who support him. And the best they can come up with is a senile career crook who can't keep his hands to himself. I'm really hoping they are daft enough to let Biden have a debate with Trump, and let those who are on the fence really see who they are voting for if they pull the "D" lever this November. But if by some miracle Biden is elected, kiss your guns & way of living goodbye. I don't think there will be any turning back if there is a next time.

Look at some stats,the u.s. is behind lots of countries on education and healthcare. Not a third world country,but not a great first world one either. And we definetly are first on being fat and on covid too. Lots of room for improvement.

Every president before him released his tax returns..You trust who you want. 

But a guy who has been proven over and over to be lying? I don't get why you guys support and amoral millionaire maniac that had everything handed to him. He is one of you? 

[Chef]

Because it ain't nobody's business but his!

So how about him still holding stake in his private business as president and using his office for personal gain ?

Not in the way that he does, not about the petty shit that he does it’s insane.

I went to inspect the bunker

How many people were at his inauguration speech

Just dumb shit

Did you hear he visited a factory that makes covid test swabs this week, did you hear he refused to wear a mask in the facility. Did you hear they had to throw out almost a days worth of work after he left..

Come on I’m a republican too but he is dangerous
