When arrests are made then we will know who the violent ones are. Like has been pointed out on other post, one arrest was made due to the Tee shirt the person was wearing. And I pointed out people have been arrested for starting forest fires due to spies in the sky reading a license plate number.

Even guys in the Guard said there was no trouble when they had to clear Lafayette Square.

There is all kinds of footage showing a peaceful protest. What kind of idiot would start trouble a stones throw from the WH that has guards with guns on the roof and Secret Service all over the place?

Some who start trouble have no political persuasion. They are just thugs. But, it sounds like you object strongly to property destruction. Killing people suspected of wrong doing, not so much. Why do ours laws provide for trials, judges and/or juries?

Trump is certainly not ideal but Biden? What a mess.
Trump is dismantling your country.

Much ado about nothing? I don't think so. When our President can't even speak correct English he's either woefully ignorant like Trump or mentally deficient. I won't be voting FOR Biden when I vote for him this November, I'll be voting AGAINST Trump. I wonder how many others will be doing the same.
Yes, I caught that, too, and I was aghast -- not at the fact that he had a slip of the tongue -- heck, at age 66, I do that kind of thing at least once a day now, and so does my husband -- but that this was a professional ad with many opportunities for retakes, and it was a very simple and short statement. So my thought was, "If that was the best take of who knows how many takes (10, 20, 30, or even more), the Democrats and Biden are in BIG trouble."

I truly think that if Biden is elected, we are really electing his running mate.

That's exactly what will happen. A vote for Biden is a vote for the far-left, period.

As I stated in another thread, his vocal gaffes are the least of his problems.

I'm voting for the best PERSON, like I always do, regardless of party! This year, the best PERSON is Trump, NOT Biden and his not best qualified VP minority, or fake Indian, running mate.

Gaffs are his superpower. It will make his term in office more interesting.

Joe just needs to hire his own Kellyanne to explain he didn't say what they heard him say, seems to work pretty well for Trump.
