Trump gets manicures, has hands soft as kid leather that has never held a wrench or turned a screwdriver, he has a personal hair stylist (not a barber, a stylist), and prefers to sit on gold when he evacuates his innards.

Of course real working Americans look low-class to him. He is a fancy boy who has never done an honest day's work in his life.

Default capitol riot - oh my do people have short memories

All the hypocrisy and false outrage fanned by the liberal corporate media.



Remember in 2011 when tens of thousands of Democrats surged on the Wisconsin Capitol building in Madison and physically occupied it for more than two weeks? We were told, "This is what democracy looks like."

Remember in 2016 when Obama was President and hundreds of BLM blocked interstate highways and violently accosted police (even killing several)? We were told, "To assign the actions of one person to an entire movement is dangerous and irresponsible."

Remember in 2018 during the Kavanaugh hearings when a mob of Democrats stormed the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, DC, and pounded their fists in rage on the door. We were told, "It's understandable."

Remember this summer's riots in major cities across the country when groups of Democrats marched in the streets, set buildings on fire, looted businesses, assaulted and even killed bystanders and police? We were told, "These are mostly peaceful protests."

Remember when Democrats seized several blocks of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in downtown Seattle, declaring it an autonomous zone? Remember the guns ad deaths and utter destruction? We were told, "It's a block party atmosphere."

Remember when a crazed mob gathered after the Republican National Convention and attacked Rand Paul, a sitting U.S. Senator? We were told, "No justice, no peace."

Remember how police were told to stand down, governors refused to call in the national guard, and Democrats paid bail for violent protesters who were arrested? We were told, "This is the only way oppressed people can be heard."

I have condemned violent protests and lawlessness every single time they've been reported. I condemn the actions of those who stormed the Capitol yesterday. But I refuse to condemn hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors because a handful (52 arrested) chose to be lawless and to defy everything the vast majority of the crowd stood for. Conservatives are defenders of the Constitution, the police, and the rule of law. Because a relative few people decided to do something stupid doesn't nullify the concerns of the many.

The real culprit here? The mainstream media has been telling us for years that violence is the only way people who feel oppressed can be heard, it's the only way to get justice, and this is what democracy looks like. Apparently, a few who were in the crowd on Wednesday listened to them.

The inflammatory rhetoric of the Left caused this, and it's about time Democrats and the mainstream media took responsibility for dividing Americans and attempting to humiliate those who support the President or any conservative ideals. They have pushed people to the brink, even while claiming,n "It's time for unity." It's time for careful reflection and change on all sides. God help us!




oh and this too!

During Kavanaugh’s nomination in Oct 2018 Women’s March tweeted:

Quote:
We were planning to shut down the Capitol Building but the authorities were so scared of this #WomensWave that they shut it down for us. 1000+ women, survivors, and allies have gathered in the Hart Senate Building. Every hallway. Every floor.”
https://twitter.com/owhy3/status/1348418949910654977
The police stopped them from entering the Capitol Building. However they did take over the Hart Senate office building.

ABC News reported:

Quote:
“Capitol Hill police said 128 people were arrested for ‘unlawfully demonstrating’ outside of senators’ offices and in the main rotunda of the Russell Senate Building
Lefties trying to stop the gov from functioning but not a word in the left controlled press at the time about:

“the desecration of our democracy.” (Washington Post, Jan 7, 2021)

And did twitter shut down their account? Nope

But it really wasn't. THAT is his emotional mindset that led directly to THIS. On January 6th many took him literally. As perhaps he now did himself.
Biden said he wanted to hit Trump. Booker said he wanted to hit Trump during a debate. Harris said she wanted to kill Trump (If we ever get in an elevator together only one of us will come out alive). MSM says absolutely nothing about this. And this doesn't get into what various other Democratic policiticans and celebrities said, which was often far worse.

And you don't expect his ferverent supporters to react?

It's not a huge stretch to suggest that a lot of the msm are borderline terrorists.

And they overran the Wisconsin state Capitol as well.

The woke left knows that. White males haven't been taken seriously for years. They have preemptively started a campaign to silence white women's voices too with that Karen crap. Any white woman who complains about ANYTHING now is labeled a Karen and is called out on her "White Privilege".

(As someone who has repeatedly stood up for blacks my whole life, I want the favor returned. Thank goodness in real life I know blacks who see this craziness too and can't believe it's happening either - you would never know they exist though with the media brainwashing)

I can picture the Harris comment: she was clearly joking, and I believe smiled as she said it with the phrase a common expression of humor. Trump was put down to not being serious. Like I said, no major air play.

What struck me at the time, however, was the look on Trump's face as he spoke. It was literally twisted with rage and frustration.

That is the Trump we've come to know. But the evidence was there in 2016.

I come here to find out how such folks are thinking as it makes no sense to me.

The mods are doing a great job of keeping discussions civil.
I actually reported a post, not sure I've ever done that before. I'll be interested to see if anything happens. I'm not sure how they can justify posts that support domestic terrorists when "you're an idiot" results in bans.

Posters are waiting and watching.

You forgot the Inauguration riots that happened in D.C. and many other cities across the nation. On day one.
