Trump hasn't tweeted in a while and Twitter morons claim he's fled DC or other dumb crap. He's not tweeting because the rioting has mostly subsided, even he knows that criticizing peaceful civil rights protests is a massive mistake.

I eventually see this ending like Occupy Wall Street where everyone just gets bored after a while. Also, if there’s some new cause the media wants people to latch onto and the protesters aren’t given the press coverage they want (as in none at all), they’ll probably stop. It also helps that as the weather gets more hot and humid as June goes on that most will just want to stop because of how miserable it is outside.

Interest dying. Not for the protestors, for the media. This did not go how the Democrats wanted, red states remained in control and Trump failed to actually be the dictator they all expected. Now the public sentiment swings harshly back against the riots, and they need to wind down coverage and hope to memory hole all of it.

Also it’s the “first weekend of summer” for lots of folks. So they are hitting lakes, beaches, camp grounds, etc after the lock down. The protest that went down last night in my home town was maybe 20-30 people. Where was everyone? Headed to the lake. There were more people buying beer at golden pantry than at the protest. Regular folks have stopped giving a shit.

Yeah, but hashtags are always hijacked by libtards, no matter what. I guarantee you the majority of those "I support the police!" hashtags are just prominent blue check mark libshits tweeting cancer like, "#IsupportThePolice because I'm a racist white supremacist who hates blacks!" or "If I were a Nazi Drumpf supporter, I'd say '#IsupportThePolice', but fortunately I'm a progressive! #BLM"

They did the same when there were trending hashtags against Joe Biden: the most-liked tweets were people saying "#ImNotVotingBiden is just a phrase used by racists." or "If I hated blacks, gays, women, and LatinX PoC, I'd say #ImNotVotingBiden."

One of the things I keep coming back to in my mind with this whole situation is the individual George Floyd was. From what I can see he was a deeply unpleasant person who threatened a pregnant woman with a gun, home invasion, repeat offender, drug user and dealer... Now I don't want death penalties and I certainly don't want them carried out extra-judicially by the cop who shows up. But to go from "his killing was wrong" to 'bury him in a gold-leaf coffin, paint him on the walls and have the pope speak for him, is crazy. And I think most (or at least lots) of African Americans feel the same way. But BLM and the media are running with it.

It reminds me of Tookie Williams. If you don't remember, Tookie was briefly a cause celebre for the anti-death penalty crowd. Supposedly he had reformed behind bars, come to Jesus, and had written children's books trying to steer young black kids away from violence.

The problem is that Tookie was an absolute piece of shit and a walking argument for the death penalty. He was convicted on four counts of murder, all innocent retail clerks and shopkeepers he killed during robberies, and was a longterm gangbanger. How longterm? You might have heard of a little community organization he co-founded: The Crips.

Also, nobody read his fucking children's books. They were a prop to convince gullible folk that he had turned his life around.

Finally. We could go back to business. Dismantling the Chinese government and liberating the people to self determine as three kingdoms again.

The protests have already fizzled, you can stop downing those blackpills now.

Kinda confirms what I already noticed, most of the protests crowds really weren't all that big, even in a lot of major cities. Only a couple of places had big crowds like New York and LA.

And it keeps remininding me of this one scene in this old movie Bullworth where the senator says: "If you don't get behind someone other than a running back who stabs his wife, you ain't never gonna get rid of someone like me".

(context, Beaty's character knows he's going to be killed and just gives up mid-campaign on trying to win)

Seriously, there are great African Americans that communities could be celebrating. Why him?

Because a bunch of people were told to feel bad. In a year or so once there's less chaos, I guarantee there will be a facebook or reddit post about it and people will overwhelmingly respond "I knew this thing was fake all along" or some shit. It's just not cool yet.

Which is kinda how I figured Trump would play this. This was so obviously low tier bait for Donald to declare martial law. They were hoping and praying he'd do it, it would seal their narrative. But he managed to avoid doing it and let the states handle shit on their own.

Which is brilliant in another way. Democrats have always been favoring state rights over federal since they were founded, and Trump was a former Democrat, he had to know that not giving them an excuse to say he was trammeling on the right of states to handle their shit (outside of a token reminder he would if they couldn't), they'd be left with either getting things under control or making him look good for cleaning up their mess.

It was a game of chicken the whole time, Trump's response tweaked the rules so the other side had to turn away first.

wtf am I stupid or something. When have the Democrats EVER been the party of states rights? They're all about one size fits all and using the federal government to get their way. Every Democratic victory of the last 20 years (Obamacare, gay marriage, stopping wall funding) has been done at the federal level.
It's the GOP that insist the states are still states in their own right, rather than deferential administrative zones, and who score petty temporary wins on abortion and weed legalisation before the Dems ram through the country-wide reversal via Supreme Court judgement.

It is. It's a smokescreen to get the NG sent home and the police to return the riot boys to regular patrol.

I got one once, didn't realise til i went to pay. The staff were super nice about it, I just used my credit card instead. Got a phone call the next week from the Police asking where i got it from - it was a store that gave me change form a £20. Is it a much more serious offence in the US? Like it's serious here, but most places can tell by your reaction if you know or not.Some fake notes are really good and convincing. If a person genuinely does not know then it's not their fault.



I'd love to see a full, thorough investigation into that man's death and the events leading up to it. There's so much more to this than folk want to know, and I would love to see the "he was a good boy who never hurt nobody" narrative shot to shit.
