I dont watch them, because they dont carry news. They carry soap operas, wheels of fortune and Judge Judy types of programs.

We have taken steps backwards with Trump and people wonder why the protests have come back stronger.
"Consent decree." Now there's an Orwellian term if ever there was one.

It sounds like a partnership of equals, but it's not. It's when the federal government tells a local government, "Do things the way we want them done, or kiss your federal funding goodbye." Baltimore's police department is one of the ones under a consent decree, and their hands have been so tied that they're unable to respond to the surge in crime that's taken place since the druggie Freddie Gray killed himself -- yes, you heard me, he purposely thrashed around and banged his head against the wall, knowing that it would make the police look bad -- while in custody.

If Trump is rescinding these consent decrees, that's a huge victory for local control and for untying the hands of our law enforcement agencies.

Protests have gone on weeks, mainly unimpeded.
Unimpeded? What about the clearing of peaceful protesters in DC so dear leader could have his photo op in front of that church?

So...then you oppose Trump for what he did today, right?

No sane intelligent person wants Trump elected again.

Like the Feds enforcing the illegal activities of sanctuary cities?

I have read conflicting reports on how peaceful it was, specifically the 15-30 minute before period.

I wasn't there, so can't say for sure if it was truly peaceful. Were you physically there during the time period I mentioned?
