I wish I could embed this so you all can watch it over and over. HAHAHAHA

That pepper, ball shot made my day.

I see Law and Order vs Anarchy.

It was so obvious when Clapper, Brennan, and Comey testified to congress - they were out to get President Trump and painted everything in the worst possible way.

And it sounds like now if they didn't have anything to twist, they made shit up.

Groin shot! ...and well deserved.

If a "protester" shows up with a gas mask, I would think a savvy DA could hopefully prove "Premeditation" in any actions committed by said protester.

And was the "twig and berries" shot a "rubber bullet" as the commentator was saying or was it another tear gas canister? Just sitting here chuckling over that one.....

The U of Texas at Austin has taken down for Confederate statues based on the potential threat of violence.
Now, the enemies of the history and the culture of the United States no longer have to demonstrate or do violence to get their way.
Only the potential threat is now enough. These bastards are learning their lessons well.

What is a nation who has been lied to by both parties supposed to do? What is the base of the GOP going to do?

I don’t know, but I do know I’ve never seen the center right base so disgusted and angry at its own. GOP: Trust me, the base hasn’t left Trump, but it has left you. It’s not official yet, but the avalanche is about to begin. The anger is going to boil over. Upon you. GOP: you’re not going to like it, but you have no one to blame but yourselves.

To the very small list of conservatives that fought the good fight: I apologize. But to the rest: You have become like the salt in the parable. Good for nothing.

Get rid of McConnell. It's a shame he's not up in 2018. But he is up in 2020. Primary him.

McConnell Doubts "Trump Can Save Presidency" As Relationship "Disintegrates"

According to a new bombshell report from the NYT, the relationship between President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has "disintegrated" in recent week "to the point that they have not spoken to each other in weeks", prompting the Kentucky senator to express doubts if Trump can succeed in office and "salvage the presidency" after a summer of controversies and crises.

The relationship between President Trump and Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, has disintegrated to the point that they have not spoken to each other in weeks, and Mr. McConnell has privately expressed uncertainty that Mr. Trump will be able to salvage his administration after a series of summer crises.



What was once an uneasy governing alliance has curdled into a feud of mutual resentment and sometimes outright hostility, complicated by the position of Mr. McConnell’s wife, Elaine L. Chao, in Mr. Trump’s cabinet, according to more than a dozen people briefed on their imperiled partnership. Angry phone calls and private badmouthing have devolved into open conflict, with the president threatening to oppose Republican senators who cross him, and Mr. McConnell mobilizing to their defense.

In a phone call on Aug. 9, Trump blamed McConnell for the Senate's troubled efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The Times said the call descended into shouting and profanity.

I see "ol' Bernie" is now babbling his BS about starting a 3rd party, again.

He is wrong, IMO, it would have to be a 4th party.

We already have 3.

DemocraPs, GOPe, and the true republicans.

Wear a gas mask but no cup?

Poor planning.

Would it be safe to assume that pepper ball soaked his crotch?

Guessing that shit doesn't "buff out".

It is easy to give this more importance than it has.

In the case of UT Austin, I am a graduate. I spent 4 years on campus, a long time ago.

When I started in the mid-60's, there were reputedly 30,000 students. Now there are just over 50,000. Let's say on average about 10,000 graduates per year, for 50 years, maybe 500,000 graduates.

Of those 500,000, I doubt that even 20,000 had ever knowingly laid eyes on those statues, or knew where they were. Maybe a few had crouched behind one or the other when Charles Whitman was shooting from the Tower. I would be surprised if as many as 1,000 current students could take you to all 4 of them unaided. There are other statues too, I believe, which muddles things considerably. If they had wanted to have a rally around the statues to protest them, they would have had to print maps.

WOW!!! With all due respect, I don't find your justification of Texas University's actions valid. I don't know where any of the statues are/were in Durham, New Orleans, or Anytown, USA, yet by your logic, I should be OK with having them all torn down because I don't ever physically see them.

I don't think we're fighting "location" as the issue.....I believe we're fighting "principle". My apologies sir, but this Houstonian isn't going to be entrapped in Austin's libtardedness.

The statues themselves are irrelevant to the point that the Uof T not only gave up without a fight but that they quit because there might have been a threat of a fight.

I didn't say anything about justification, nor did I offer this as an excuse. It's as irrational as are a great many other antics these days. But it need not be considered as a major triumph of the loons.
