Looking at the state of our political discourse, it is hard to pin down where exactly the rancorous division started. Words are violence, but rioting, looting, and arson are not. Hectoring, menacing, and crowding supporters of President Trump is shrugged off, but insults to the media are a threat to democracy. If that sounds insane, it’s because it is.
Shortly after 2005, criticism of George W. Bush and his administration had reached a fever pitch. “Bush lied, and people died,” became a mantra on the left. It discounted the bipartisan support for the Iraq War and blamed the president personally for the failure to find large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Judith Miller outlined the intelligence failures that were the root of the problem in her book The Story, but the narrative was and is something else altogether.
It would be difficult to convince me the 2008 election was not a turning point in our political discourse. During the 2008 election, candidate Barack Obama said the following during a Nevada campaign stop:
In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.
“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.
Obama to GOP: I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing
Get in their face. This comment came after Obama referred to his grandmother as a “typical white person” who had fears about black men. Then he characterized his political opponents as “bitter clingers.” In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security put out a baseless memo regarding threats from “right-wing extremists.” To be characterized as such, you simply needed to be organizing against abortion or immigration, or in support of federalism.
In 2010 Obama refined this characterization by calling Tea Party activists “the teabag anti-government people.” His attorney general, Eric Holder, called America a “nation of cowards” on race discussions. By 2012, Obama said he would have been seen as a moderate Republican in the 1980s after winning reelection. He said this in order to contrast himself with the Republican House, led by notorious squish John Boehner. The goal was to cast the modern Republican Party as far-right.
Hillary Calls Real Americans a ‘Basket of Deplorables’
With their shock and anger, the divisive rhetoric escalated, even following a tragedy. A gunman opened fire on a congressional Republican baseball practice. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was seriously injured and in critical condition. MSDNC host Joy-Ann Reid called Scalise an “extremist” while Scalise was still in critical condition, as if to excuse the violence.
After Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was denied service at a Washington, D.C., restaurant, Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) encouraged her supporters to harass administration officials:
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents.”
After taking about burning down the GOP, no-longer-conservative Jennifer Rubin said President Trump’s supporters must be leveled:
“We have to level them because if there are survivors — if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again — will take this as confirmation that, ‘Hey, it just pays to ride the wave — look at me, I’ve made it through.’ “

All the Democrats who are in Power hate The United State of America.
So, I see and understand what is happening. It is a take over, being funded by the Rokafellers, Soros, JP Morgan, Rothschilds, etc... The BLM and the ANIFA are the military arm of this move. They do not play by the rulse/laws and niether should the police. The counter fight needs to be at rheir level, shoot to kill and get the Nazi rioters to disperse. Al it would take is just one city to be federalized and the US marshalls to go in and clean house. These Nazi's wouls stop real fast. Let the legal ramifications be taken care of after it is finished. At this point, there are no lagalities in the streets, these Nazi's think they have it made. Another alternative is to alow the militias to go in and do a sweep. That way the government has no part in it. If this is a war, there are no laws in a war.
There is a major disconnect between the White -House, the DOJ, the FBI, and the insurrection in our streets... Someone needs to inform the President that neither AG Barr or Director Wray are up to the task of putting down the insurrection and sedition in our streets. The President should not be point man on these issues... the AG and Dir. Wray need to field a plan that will immediately stop any further assault on our Republic AND... AND... identify those funding and leading this insurrection... arrest, indict and convict them of insurrection among other serious felonies and do it all before the coming elections.
Sad state of affairs Col. The AG and DIR. are not up to the task for sure yet they need to field a plan, hmmm, this is a true oxymoron if I ever heard one. But at this point it is all we have, and its not looking too good....
The President needs to direct the FBI and DOJ to provide him with the names of agents in the field currently working the insurrection cases.... he then needs to have qualified law enforcement he trusts from outside the FBI and DOJ review the progress for the effective use of their forces to isolate, detain and try the criminals and those behind them.
The President may want to form a SPECIAL TASKFORCE composed of hand-selected US Attorneys and Federal Law Enforcement Agents chosen from every agency to ensure that only the best and brightest minds are on the case... This Task Force should report directly to the President's agents (to be named) and will operate independently of the DOJ and FBI... with the full support of the White House and President.
We simply can not trust the CORRUPTED DOJ AND FBI to do the job of internal policing... they are part of the problem... they need criminal investigation. The President needs to establish a Federal Bureau of Internal Review and Investigation with hand-selected officers who can focus all their attention on exposing and prosecuting government corruption.... federal and state.
The Socialists Party formerly know as the Democratic Party are the racist party that want to divide everyone.
The Left, as we call them, are socialist and communist in their ideology! So...let's stop calling them the "Left" & "Progressive" andstart calling them what thay really are...socialists and communists! Do we want to have our government tell us what to do, or do we want to tell our government what to do, basef on our constitution? Why do you think they (our enemies) want to destroy our Constitutional Republic? Think rationally! If they can't control us, they can't continue to steal from us, which they do by the billions! Evil and destruction are their way of life, but not ours! November 3rd is our chance to help our President take them down for their sedition and treason! After OUR President wins, he will need us to be the voice for America. It's OUR country...and the so called left has no place in it!
I read this somewhere... so not taking credit for this good thought:
Nowadays the biden troop is blaming the riots on Trump (changed since their plan is tanking);
Thought: "fi the riots are really Trumps fault, do you think the democrats and media would have spent the last three months saying they were 'peaceful protest.'
And funded them.
And organized them.
