Left are at each others throat on twitter

about the same as here if you leave out the word "Left"

[Whistler]

innocent people protesting against police brutality being brutalised by police, innocent news people reporting the facts on the ground, then being subject to police brutality.

Ironic but sadly true

The US state is now so objectionable that the President needs to threaten to use the US military against the people.

After many decades of bombing and killing old folks, women and children around the world (usually with limited help from the UK and Australian militaries), they now have the American people in their sights. Fortunately the Brits and Aussies haven't been invited to join the latest war.

We're talking about a tiny, tiny percent of Americans.
No big deal.
Won't last long

[Whistler]

a tiny, tiny percent of what? Racists, African Americans, protesters ??????

<WASHINGTON - The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, was seething
>><<"I am outraged," Budde said in a telephone interview a short time later, pausing between words to emphasize her anger as her voice slightly trembled. She said she had not been given notice that Trump would be visiting the church and did not approve of the manner in which the area was secured for his appearance. "I am the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and was not given even a courtesy call, that they would be clearing [the area] with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop," Budde said.She excoriated the president for standing in front of the church - its windows boarded up with plywood - holding up a Bible, which Budde said "declares that God is love.""Everything he has said and done is to inflame violence," Budde of the president. "We need moral leadership, and he's done everything to divide us, and has just used one of the most sacred symbols of the Judeo-Christian tradition."

Whistler,
Sometimes you amaze me, (not in the smart way that you try to portray)

A tiny, tiny, percent of Americans, would mean, a tiny, tiny percent of the whole population.
Surely, that's not too hard to comprehend?

^^ Father Edward Beck obviously hasn't googled some online, right wing echo chambers. Images of guns, bullets and the bible are frequent baubles and gewgaws of the "white is right" pantheon.

Here's a couple of my favorites.

The outrage from Bishop Budde, Father J. Martin, Father Edward Beck and others, is compounded by the fact that it came from the President of he USA.

Perhaps you can be so kind as to answer the question.

I am guessing a left handed,red haired person with a hair lip and is over 185 centimetres tall qualifies as tiny, tiny percentage of the population. Is that who you identify?

Or is it another tiny, tiny part coming away at the seams, Democrats, Texans without guns, West Virginians who did not marry their cousins, Arkansas folk who know both parents, New Yorkers who speak perfect English, Frenchmen who are not arrogant, Germans that shower every day, Thai's that speak nothing but common sense, motorbike riders who only drive safely, Grab riders who do not cut you off, or protesters, blacks or others pertinent to this thread.

Shirley you know, but the rest of us do not. prey tell us, then I promise not to call you Shirley

It would be interesting to know if their parishioners are more left-leaning or right-leaning. I would guess left! According to one graph I found, 66% of attendees lean moderate to liberal. These church leaders are just kowtowing to their base. If Conservative Evangelical pastors spoke out against the President, the Democrats would be crying to take away their tax-exempt status and to have the pastors held accountable for preaching hate speech! Total hypocrisy! These people need to keep their noses out of politics and stick to preaching Jesus to a lost and dying world!

[Whistler]

Semp, you never answered my questions showing Trump is damned in the teachings of the bible and you a hypocrite

[semperfiguy]

Trump is winning as he operates divided I rule scenario, his tweet regarding shooting looters has been linked to a previous playbook of a Police Chief following looting, enraged the public then as now .

Khun Paul, as always I appreciate your comments, but with all due respect we have to make sure that we don't make the same mistake as the mass media and twist the President's words to fit their agenda to destroy his Presidency. Trump is not dumb enough to suggest that the police or the military might open fire on looters. I think they all learned that lesson from Kent State during the Vietnam War protests when the National Guard opened fire on protesting college students. That didn't go over very well back then, and it would be totally unacceptable in today's volatile political environment. There's no doubt he was referring to legally armed civilians using their weapons to protect their life and property. With Trump "what you see if what you get" and he doesn't hold back his words for a staged and politically correct delivery. He's raw and he's blunt, and he's not a silver-tongued devil like our previous President who says one thing and means another. God bless you Paul!

This is exactly what President Trump was referring to when he said "When there's looting, people get shot", only this sheriff says it much more definitively.

almost every major city for every day for a week.

Biggest protests since the Vietnam War, not a tiny, tiny percentage and massively supported by most Americans.

[mickojak]

Whistler,
How many protesters exactly.
Numbers please?

Massively supported by most americans?
Verified statistics please?

Your pedestal is shrinking by every post

[Whistler]

I posted it, put the glass of red wine down and look

https://www.courthousenews.com/poll-fin ... brutality/

54 percent agree, another 24 percent agree to an extent, that is more than 2/3rds of all Americans
