At this critical junction for our nation, Donald Trump is...in a bunker hiding from the public.

This may well be the defining moment of his presidency https://twitter.com/markknoller/stat...91138655956992

While the coward hides instead of addressing the nation like a real president would, Biden is out talking to protesters. Donny is a worthless piece of garbage.

I can imagine no other president in my lifetime failing to address the nation in a prime time speech during a crisis such as this. On the other hand, I cannot imagine another president whose words would be less welcome by so many of his fellow citizens.

'He is a destroyer': how the George Floyd protests left Donald Trump exposed

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...k-lives-matter

“He is obviously in way over his head,” said LaTosha Brown, a civil rights activist and co-founder of Black Voters Matter.

“He doesn’t have a clue. He’s a TV personality. He has a cult following that’s centred around this white power broker persona rooted in white supremacy and racism. Wherever he goes, he carries that role and that kind of persona, but ultimately right now with what we’re looking for in this country is real leadership. He is incapable of providing that because that’s not who he is.”

Brown added: “He’s a personality. He’s used to these dog whistles and, instead of trying to uproot division and seeing that the citizens are actually in pain and hurting, he doesn’t have the capacity to address that. He actually adds fuel to the flames and shows how fundamentally intellectually disconnected he is from what is happening and also how ill-prepared he is as a leader to respond to that.”

Trump is not much a child playing with matches as an arsonist hellbent on burning it all down, Brown warned.

“If it would take the destruction of the country for him to protect his position, he is willing to do that. He has shown that he is willing to kill every single thing in this country, including its people, if it protects him.

Tweety doesn't have advisors he has tellers. His people tell him what he should do based on their opinion or what they feel he will be favorable to. Right now he has one group who think he should address the nation and call for calm. Another group thinks he should go on air and promote force to restore law and order. He does not have what it takes to figure it out on his own. He only does what he thinks will benefit him. Right now he is in stay in office mode and he looks at everything through that lens.

The Lincoln Project's latest ad. Excellent stuff.

I think the Lincoln Project folks should lead the way to bring us a new conservative party. The modern Republican party needs to be abolished. The GOP has shown a lust for greed and power benefiting only the wealthy.

What gets me the most, saying the unrest is just about Floyd.
A lot of pinned up anger over everything from inadequacy in divisions of wealth, privilege and law enforcement. The lack of a voice in their concerns and needs.

Now the riots are just thievery plain and simple, IMO nothing to do other then taking advantage of the situation.

Let up hope this is not a "let them eat cake" moment....

I think it's about CV19. Too many people with too much time and not enough money on their hands. Floyd is just an excuse. And there will be others.

i.e. the real cause of these riots is the lockdown. I predicted it in March and said if the lockdown doesn't end at the end of April we'd be seeing more and more rioting. My prediction almost fell flat, but the kids came through for me the very last weekend.

This is just the beginning. And I believe Trump is a bit more "law and order" than the democrat mayors of all the cities these riots are happening in (yep, not a republican mayor in the lot).

It will get more, um, interesting. Once rioters discover there really is something to lose by rioting, they'll stop.
