    You can doubt all you want.
    I know you haven’t. Being a student of Faux news, it’s hard to tell function from fact.
    Give me a couple of news sources you do accept....

    I assert that many liberals are predictable, ignorant of history and easy to troll.

    Yes I said troll because Trump has likely no more intention of using the military to put down riots than using them to shut down the SW border as he said he would before the midterm. Trump is using the tried and true "law and order" political theme. If you people knew history you would know how this works. And it is working to a T with Trump. One day political science classes will expound on Trump as a great political genius.

    With respect to Mattis: He apparently has a personal ax to grind because Trump would not let him start any new wars.

    I am not perplexed about that at all. They want to see their Tribe remain in the White House and in power generally, and if that means voting for a complete grub of a human being like Trump, then that is what they will do. They will overlook everything horrible that the fat orange puke does. I wish they would dump him and let Pence duke it out in November for the White House. I reckon that will give them a far better chance of holding it and the Senate.

    Trolling....? So, a world leader has a habit of trolling which in real life terms, is lying. Sounds like some one you can’t depend upon to tell the truth. Btw, where Is that wall ?

    It’s right in the first amendment. The problem you’re having is discerning the difference between the protestors and our lunatic fringe stirring up trouble.

    Mattis has the experience to discern the difference. Trump simply doesn’t.
    We don’t need the U.S. military to get a handle on the loons.

    And we certainly don’t need Trump prancing around playing the tough guy while using our military as props for photo-ops. It’s not only immature it’s disgraceful. The Poseur strikes again!

    Well the answer to your last question is "law and order" will replace "build that wall". Brilliant approach by Trump don't you think?

    Mattis just said out loud what 3/4ths of America has been thinking ever since Trump (that Mistakenly-Elected America Hater) started crapping all over the Constitution and making America a Worldwide Laughingstock.

    Anybody blindly defending Trump's Outrageous Behavior (by Repetitive Copy/Pasting of Comical and Debunked Faux Talking Points) is hideously misguided.

    Trying to "defend" Trump?:roflol:

    It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is the "law and order" approach has a track record of working. It worked for Nixon. It worked for Reagan. And it will worked for Trump. This man is a political genius.

    So then Biden should go with "A chicken in every pot" since we are an eyelash away from a full blown Depression.

    If not, Tippecanoe and Tyler too always works in a pinch.... Biden was newly elected to the Senate back then, so he'll remember it...

    mature leadership?

    Narcissist proved narcissists have Zero Leadership.
    Unless leadership means saying 15 will go to ZERO because it will magically disappear.

    So he wasn't fired then. That's what the poster you responded to said. And you agreed.

    Pushed out is not fired.

    It’s not doubt, its simply that you are wrong. You are falling for fake news. That’s on you.

    The first amendment allows you to protest, not riot. There is a difference. Im not having any trouble between the two. And I stand by my statment that I don' think Mattis said it like that.

    Anyone attacking Trumps very reasonable behavior (by hyperbolic lies/pasting anecdotes of debunked fake news like CNN) is hideously misguided.

    He has done a great job, and cannot be held responsible for violent leftists rioting. he has never violated the constitution. That is a leftist delusion.

    Okay, fact is that Aussie film crew were not part of a riot or even filming a riot. It was a protest which the Cops escalated and I suspect it was connected to the path being cleared so Trump could heroically stride, risking life and limb into the Valley of Death to visit St John's for that appalling photo op.

    It wasnt at all as you initially described. Because it didnt fit; your narrative.

    This isn’t an outrage. You need to learn to be more honest when you make threads.

    The police gave them a lawful command to move they didn't. Actions have consequences. Go right ahead believe that fantasy

    Prove to me it was a 'lawful command' as you assert it to be.

    You make Matis’ and Pelosi’s point for them. Every time you cheer on trump for “trolling” your political opponents, you are saying it is a good thing to divide the country rather than work to unite it.

    Read former Defense Secretary Mattis’ statement on Trump’s handling of nationwide protests

    There you go, his entire unedited statement. FYI, he was referencing the dispersal of peaceful protesters outside the White House who were in fact exercising their Constitutional rights as declared in the first Amendment to the Constitution.

    Would that he did something that wasn't the action of an incompetent jerk we could test your theory.
