Interesting stuff from the Governor of Minnesota. He’s fully activated the Minnesota National Guard and declared that the protests have been infiltrated by white supremacist groups and drug cartels who wanted to use them as a means to create chaos.

That's really great.
I think it's a mistake to view Trump as someone who wants war. I'd say by the standards of much of the Republican establishment, he cannot be characterised as a warmonger. North Korea would be a good example, in 2017 he went from spouting violent rhetoric to embracing Kim Jong-un within weeks as soon as Pyongyang expressed a willingness to talk. With Iran, too, he showed a willingness to escalate tension only to a certain point. It was a warning to Tehran, not an attempt to goad them into war, which his actions ultimately reflected.
As for what he's doing with his rhetoric now, I'd guess he's trying to mobilise his base supporters and present himself as in control of the developments. Certainly, my first instinct on reading those tweets is that he is insane, but it's not a new development for him. I gave up paying attention to his tweets a long time ago, I'd lose sanity if I paid them too much attention.
Yes and he'll be the tank driver
Governor of Minnesota says only 20% of those arrested during the protests were from within the state
He said 80% of the arrests were of people from outside the area. The state's Department of Public Safety is also now looking into the possibility of organised crime involved in the looting.

Betcha he'd call it 'Chinaman Square'.
He will preach that the US is under attack from "Antifa", half the country will believe him and be compelled to vote to keep "radical left democrats" away from the presidency. You also deepen the divide on the other side, people will want reforms and move further to the left. A rift will appear/deepen between them and a centrist like Biden, they might stay at home on election night. Depending on how this plays out he might also have fun with a state of emergency and bans against left wing groups.
Oh and no one has time to talk about Corona, the state of the economy, joblessness or bleach.
I think that's a unique way of looking at the killing of Soleimani.
100%. It's not even subtle.

I feel for this guy. Not everyone at a protest is there for the same reason and empathy is hard to find in this world.

Yep. If you ever needed proof that the Republican Party co-opted major aspects of fascism after World War II...
Wait - I heard Mark Furhman appeared on Fox News? What the hell?
Anyone post last night's video from Brooklyn yet ? Pure insanity.
Apparently, currently serves as a forensic and crime scene expert for FOX News Channel.
That’s where I caught it
OJ aside, I mean - even for Fox that’s pretty low right? This is a man who is on tape spewing racial epitaphs.Absurd.Apparently, currently serves as a forensic and crime scene expert for FOX News Channel.
Anyone feeling some sort of censorship?
I can't even find live reporting on youtube, considering it's happening in all across America the content is really lacking.

The World is watching.
I live 8 blocks away from the Barclays Center and didn't even realize any of this was going on. I just heard non-stop sirens all last night (they are still going on now) and thought nothing of it. Heartbreaking but as a black man living in the US, none of this is even that shocking.
Some are saying the divorce is only to protect assets, have no idea if that's true.
Yes, the German-American Bund & American Nazi Party have done it overtly. The GOP has done it on the sly, and has managed to actually be in power while doing it.
Absolutely idiotic. Especially in the current climate. Talk about any excuse.

Every single time I say the same thing when I see one of Trump's quote.
could be. Imagine if she's with him she'll be the target as well, at least they'll harass her everywhere she goes
Thanks. I really dont' understand how police officers are trained in the US, the violence isn't exclusive to the US but they do it in a relatively individualistic way which is dangerous if the mob is a little bit organized and ready to go far. In some countries some of these officers would have easily been killed.
I'm all about fecking up the police, rioting against government institutions, but this shit is disgusting. The guy filming is a proper piece of shit.
That mindset those cnuts have is really something. The psychosis is real.
From a UK perspective I often question what training they obtain in the US. In a public order situation that is very dangerous and quite comical. It's quite clear the red mist had descended and as a rule of thumb you should never let yourself be consumed into a large crowd for quite obvious reasons. It's just a shambles and that's when people on both sides get badly hurt.

That has to be some shitkick neck militia from outside the perimeter, ammosexuals & the spawn their old lady shit out riding in to save the white race.
It's funny how so many conspiracy theories are coming up from different angles. I would love to hear why people believe some, but straight away dismiss others.

To call this predictable would be an understatement.
Maybe Trump is trying to go all Charlie Manson and get a full blown race war going? He's loving pouring gasoline onto the fire at every stage.
Helter Skelter indeed.....oh, and then he can cancel the election in November. Sorted!

His Trump trolling base are now armed with their talking point .It was Antifa.
