well given that Trump is trying to take credit for jobs declared two years ago, that seems fair to me..


If Trump wants a clean start he should have started cleanly, he choose to lie and fight like a baby even after he won. Thus it is on him.

I don't believe that any of them are to blame for the divide. It has deep historical roots. Some presidents have presided over more contentious times than others, but America has never been truly secure in its unity.

It wouldn't surprise me if he said something about it. He's the type who would, unless his people will pull him back now that he's actually president and stop him from saying certain things.

Terrible logic, please just stop.

These types of riots have been happening since way before the election, most recently tied to BLM and police shootings.

So you excuse it? What's your excuse for them this time? Oh yes, you expected it.

This comes after protesters from Black Lives Matter and other groups forced the shutdown early Friday morning of at least two inauguration security checkpoints, including the one where Sollars said she was attacked -- as demonstrators followed through on threats to disrupt President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremonies.

The Black Lives Matter protesters at first started chaining themselves to fences in front of a checkpoint near the Capitol, after which the Secret Service closed the gates and shut down the entrance.


it's all over Black Lives Matter Twitter
Uhhh, the ones that were acting violent and destroying the Starbucks and other buildings and cars weren't BLM. If you bothered to watch the video, you can plainly see who exactly these violent, idiot protesters are.

Destroying businesses, vandalizing cars and hurting innocent people because of Trump? Just stupid. But it was less than 100 people. I'm sure there are millions of liberals seeing that crap and they are just as angry about it and against it as everyone else.

You, and those that think like you, are the problem. Thank god the adults are in charge now, and hopefully, we can start arresting and jailing these domestic terrorists, who seek to do our great country harm.
LOL, can't connect the dots?
