Trump’s first tweet is referencing an interview Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome gave to Fox News on Wednesday, during which he said, “If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.”


“I could be speaking figuratively, I could be speaking literally,” Newsome added. “It’s a matter of interpretation.”

But I didn't think BLM was about that way of life?

Yeah that interview really freaked me out.

I am hoping Trump isn't just whistling Dixie and will actually do something before we become Johannesburg or Mexico City or Mogadishu.

Who in their right mind is okay with burning down the system? How did so many become radicalized like this?

So Amazon with their BLM badge is okay with burning itself down? The Democrats would like to self-immolate? Why are so many supporting this radical group, when it seeks their demise?

Our system of government is flawed like everything else, but it is really an amazing accomplishment. Very resilient and able to bend, not break. It can fully realize the goals of racial equality and justice. But I don't believe for a second BLM wants only those things. This is all about power and the ushering in of Marxism. At least that is what I'm hearing right out of the mouths of its leaders.

No doubt a fellow poster will soon post that BLM is a broad and decentralized org and that foreign powers also get involved in these movements
In other wards the guys with the BLM signs did not burn and loot my town this month - the Russians did it

Well, if you voted for Obama, you are getting that in which he promised to deliver, albeit a little late...

The Russians did it at Trump's request to help get him re-elected. Obvious collusion. Adam Schiff is looking in to drawing up new articles of impeachment as we speak.

I’m telling you the good sane and decent people of this world need to get organized.
Beat me to it. He is a domestic terrorist, threatening widespread violence and destruction of the United States. He needs to be in jail.
