.
Yes. Very different response by Trump to Portland as opposed to Charlottesville.

Wake me up when deaths from rioting exceed covid deaths and monetary damage from rioting exceed ~2+ trillion dollars.

Until the riots are equivalent to "just a small flu".

Isn't it funny how Trumpers freak out over 1 issue that just so happens to match a narrative "dear leader" wants to push, and think the other issue is "fake news" because it makes "dear leader" look like an idiot who got caught with his pants down.

When in reality the "fake news" issue has and will continue to cause hundreds to thousands of times more harm both in lives and economic damage.

Certainly not the police, who are under fire from liberal mayors.

Not the National Guard- they support the feds and the military.

Who would they send? Social workers?
Decent cops.

Sure, if they want to go to a federal prison to share same cell with former top cop in Los Angeles County, Sheriff Lee Baca; or former top cop in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The answer is nobody.

I remember 2 years ago when Los Angeles mayor and LA district attorney sent a letter to DHS requesting ICE and CBP federal agents/officers to remove “police” identifier from their outer vest carrier during immigration enforcement operations in LA. They even threatened to arrest CBP/ICE agents and officers for impersonating police officer.

Fast forward to 2020 ICE and CBP still have police on their outer vest carriers.

LoL

Hahaha. The hipsters don't sip Pabst!! They sip wine spritzers!

So it’s an ‘either/or’ situation for you? Inaction never solved anything.

Which can be stopped by the end of the year, a global pandemic or scattered rioting? Keep sleeping.

Isn't it funny that you and the Left are obviously ignoring that the riots and protests are helping spread the virus?

Well, one has caused what > 5? 10? 15? Deaths total and the other has caused 145,000 and counting.

Trumpers resist doing anything to fix the one that has caused thousands of times more deaths, they say its fake, a conspiracy. They say "people die anyway".

Instead they seem to want to harp endlessly about the one that is in the single to double digits.

And one has caused what maybe 10s to 100s of millions of damage? and the other is >2 trillion and counting. 2,000,000,000,000 + dollars

Trumpers resist doing anything to fix the one that has caused thousands of times more financial and economic damage, they say its fake, a conspiracy. They say "it's just a flu".

Meanwhile, they absolutely lose their stuff over the one that has caused a few million in damage.


If covid is "just a flu" then the riots are literally nothing, a blip on the radar. A single grain of sand on the beach.
