I have been with heavy heart these days. Both over George's death and all the other deaths from excessive force used by bad cops...and due to all the destruction which has ensued.

But there are moments of utter beauty mixed in with all of it.

The volunteers of varied colors, coming out to clean up...the cops marching in protests, the cops kneeling with protestors, The BLM female protestor moving between a news crew, in a protective stance, and some angry protesters, our own police chief in Houston marching on the first day and then giving a very passionate speech to protesters two days later in support of their cause, the line of white women with locked arms standing between black protesters and the police, the list just goes on.

There is still beauty in the midst of the storm.

Why are retarded people making excuses for the low life rioters. These people that are rioting are brought in to create mayhem, destruction and anarchy. Why would any reasonable thinking person support such poor excuses of humans. What needs to be done is for good people to take back their cities and not let any outsiders destroy and burn them down. If it is not stopped now it is going to be a long long hot summer across this country.

He did not lie, he apparently forgot the eviction of the "Bonus Army".

On June 28, 1932 President Hoover sent in soldiers led by General Douglas McArthur to remove the "Bonus Army". The "Bonus Army" was a group of 43,000 demonstrators – made up of 17,000 U.S. World War I veterans, together with their families and affiliated groups. All they wanted was the promised bonus for serving in WW I. Unfortunately, due to the Hoover's cowardly reneging on his promise, he sent in the army to forcibly disperse them. The active US Army soldiers and the veterans then fought; both soldiers and veterans were killed.

Why do you misrepresent others with whom you disagree?

I am well aware of the others i.e. The Whiskey Rebellion et al. I was merely pointing out the last time the US Army was used against US citizens.

Why did you say he lied when you knew better? Obfuscation is not a good trait

It has happened since ... keep going.

As to knowing better ... MJM is a known serial liar, ask them about the 2,000 seat casino in a trailer he saw, or about how he used to walk home from Washington state to Pennsylvania daily ... among other things.

Why is it that a self proclaimed conservative such as yourself defends it?

To your question; I stayed focused on the specific point being made - the last time the US Army was used against US citizens on US soil. In my private message to you yesterday, I CLEARLY, repeat CLEARLY, made the point that I consider myself to be a moderate, and, I backed that up with personal examples. So why are you saying "as a self-proclaimed conservative..."? You know that is a misrepresentation. (If necessary, I will publicly post what I sent as a private message. I have nothing to hide; I sent it privately as a courtesy to you.)

So,why did you change this thread's topic to make a personal attack on another poster? Is it because you were factually refuted and want to deflect? As far as I can tell from the limited time I've been here, MJM has stayed focused on topic and refrained from making needless personal attacks on others.

So, why do you purposefully misrepresent others? LWW, I don't want to engage in off-topic conversations like this, nor do I want to denigrate the character of others. I thought I made that clear in my private response to a public post you directed at me. Perhaps a better idea is to just stop now and not bore others with our personal disagreements. If facts are to be presented, or opinions clearly expressed - fine. However, I prefer not to engage in public personality issues.

For the life of me, I can't understand what looting and destroying property at a shopping mall in Scottsdale has to do with expressing displeasure over the behavior of a police officer in Minn.

What is the correct thing for Trump to do? He goes into the bunker - you shout "wrong" (he's hiding)....he comes out of the bunker - you shout "wrong" (he's playing brave for the cameras). If he does nothing, what will you say about him? If he does something, what will you say about him? Everyone has learned over the past 3+ years that NOTHING Trump does is considered right by the Dems....he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. And people are sick of that TDS attitude towards the President. Get over it. He's here now, and he's going to stay here for 4 more years. Deal with it.
