I feel like I'm watching Hitler take power in Germany or the fall of the Roman Empire. I'm really hoping it"s the fall of an empire. Well, after a lifetime of asking "How does that happen" it seems like we are at least getting a taste.

I saw a very harsh anti trump video from a veterans group featuring that clip of trump’s special forces beating and macing a navy vet who did nothing but talk to them. I’ll try to find the link, it was brutal to trump.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I saw a headline that the mayor of Portland got teargassed last night, in front of a courthouse. I think it was AP.

Maybe I missed it but where are they taking the people they pick up? Have none of the detainees come back home yet?
Or have we started with the concentration camps already?
Also, have you noticed who trump is blaming for the unrest in the cities? Black lives matter and illegal Mexican immigrants who are somehow sneaking past his fabulous new wall. That’s right, the browns.

That’s right, the browns. From what I understand they are grasping at straws trying to find something to charge them with and ultimately releasing them. It's always going to be a brown person at fault.

The ad you mentioned and linked to is a print ad. The meme I posted refers to a TV ad which began airing several week ago. A view of the TV ad can be found in the YouTube link below.

Yes, the mayor joined the crowd last night and did get tear gassed. It was not aimed at him directly apparently.

Doesn't say a whole lot for Trump's efforts to clean up illegal immigration does it? Oh wait silly me I am using logic and reason. Never mind carry on.

I wasn't trying to disprove you billis... just noting that the misuse of visuals, and logic, seems to be widespread.

Much like trump's 2016 political TV ad which showed hoards of illegal immigrants climbing over a Moroccan wall into Spain's Melilla enclave on Morroco's coast and not along our southern border with Mexico which was strongly suggested.

I meant he was not targeted specifically From the article "It's unknown at this time who is responsible for deploying the tear gas and there is nothing to indicate the mayor was targeted. "

Whether ornot he was targetted is itrelevant. The incident proves they are gassing peaceful protestors. The mayor stated that nithing had been done to provocate the unidentified military.
Do we even know who they are? Private contractors from Blackwater?

He was targeted, they just did't know he was the Mayor. Don't let anyone get away with saying he wasn't targeted.

He was targeted, they just did't know he was the Mayor. Don't let anyone get away with saying he wasn't targeted. That particular dude was targeted, along with other peaceful protesters. Whomever gassed them didn't know he was the mayor. So, technically "the mayor" was not targeted. And now someone is saying, "oh fuck"

I don't think they care that they gassed the mayor. He is a "radical liberal" according to trump.

I saw an interview with someone who was apprehended in an unmarked van.
They said they were searched, their driver's license ran, and after they had taken copies of their license then they were released but told they have been registered as a protester.
It's been said if they determine you are illegal, then you are sent to ICE and not released.
Basically, Trump's rounding up the brown folks and sending them to detention and trying to scare the white folks to stop protesting.

Does Trump think it would embarrass me to be on some list of 'protestors?' He's completely clueless. I'd make up Christmas cards with my mug shot on the front. Inside I'd write 'Merry Christmas from one of the broads who got arrested protesting in support of BLM' and I'd mail those suckers to half the hemisphere, including the WH. Fuck him and his little brown shirts.

I applaud Gregory J. Wallance for this clever phrasing: Trump claims that he sent federal agents to Portland to stop “anarchists and agitators,” even though the demonstrators are a lot more bohemian than Bolshevik. link
