The Chinese Govt is now taking the piss of Trump

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... d-protests

100 protesters turned up at the White House and Secret Service put Trump in the bunker.

The bunker probably has no phone signal so they thought it would stop him tweeting something fucking stupid.

It's seems that a person's "15 minutes of fame" in the US today is either being murdered by the cops or committing a mass shooting.

This morning that is exactly what my girlfriend said

I've been seeing this unfold over social media with reports of tactics the police are deploying in breaking and dispersing the protesters. Totally evil shit man, I don't even know where to start.

Anyway...

[Mantis]

The last four years have been like watching a slow motion car crash of the decline of western US/UK powers.



Quite sobering footage, the capital is burning, Trump hiding in the White House bunker. He's just done a press conference threatening to deploy the full US military on the streets if governor's can't stop the riots with the national guard and police.

I think this situation is only escalating further at the moment.

[Wrathbone]

If nothing else, this will destroy any trust that the American public still had in their police as many are proving that they're little more than jack-booted thugs concerned entirely with suppression rather than ensuring riots do not turn violent. The fact that in many cases they're the ones instigating the violence at peaceful protests is unbelievable. What happened to Protect and Serve?

[Achtung Englander]

he even invoked the 2nd amendment - like he is looking for a second civil war. Maybe that is his plan so he scrap the election.

I don't know about you but all this winning is exhausting.

Tear gas and rubber bullets used against people peacefully protesting outside the White House, so that Orange Donnie the mushroom-cocked wonder could walk to the church across the road and have a photo taken with a bible. You could choke on the irony tbh. Oh, and he had no permission from the diocese to do so and has been condemned by them too for his messages.

Did you catch when the protests outside the whitehouse started and he said they would have to have a “maga night”. Then when reporters questioned if he was trying to incite a conflict he said something along the lines of “no, it’s about making America great, maga loves the black people”.

[Raid]

I'm honestly a bit surprised the Bible didn't burn his hand.

They're talking about using the army if the national guard can't disperse the rioters. How long before there's assault rifle fire into crowds of civilians? There are already reports of police being shot.

Protect and serve... a can of whoop-ass, apparently.

I read an account from someone working at an aid station at the church where they were helping people who'd been tear-gassed. They were forced to abandon the station when police fired more tear gas and concussion grenades at them. All so that Trump could have his photo shoot.

[Alan]

Fucking. Really.


Did someone just decide to make every one of Rages lyrics relevant again?

[Animalmother]

Journalists say they are deliberately being targeted by the police with some being shot with rubber bullets and pepper spray. A German reporter has been permanently blinded in one eye and others assaulted on live tv. I really hope the irony of Trump hiding in a bunker as the country burns around him isn't lost on people, they could make a movie of it called Clownfall...
