Innocent citizens have been way more patient than should ever be expected to put an end to this violent Leftwing insurrection attempt. Troianus Acies, DJ4SC, DaFireMedic and 3 others like this.

Ken Buck, R-Colo., on Sunday called for a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into the funding of recent violent protests that have sprung up across the country, echoing statements made by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who was recently attacked while with his wife during the Republican National Convention. Yep, and it was announced that Ken Buck and Rand Paul are now leading the charge as of today.

In fact, he frees them without bail as fast as they're arrested. It's an absolute dereliction of his sworn duty but he's so veiled in Progressive politics he excuses himself. Law and order is a trivial talking point to him. DaFireMedic, Troianus Acies, FIGHTONSC and 2 others like this.

If they don't want to be a part of the U.S., let's make it happen. We can even round up and send more anti-American rioters their way when they expose themselves.

They voted these shitty leaders in, now they can enjoy the benefits of that decision. NTM, the more they burn, the better Trump’s chances increase.

Republicans and conservatives as a whole don't believe in stooping to the tactics of the Left, which is almost always zero sum game to them. How do you bring common sense back to people who behave this way? TrojanMoondoggie and Troianus Acies like this.

This from a local Portland news clip: On July 5 at one of the demonstrations, Reinoehl was cited at 2:10 a.m. in the 700 block of Southwest Main Street on allegations of possessing a loaded gun in a public place, resisting arrest and interfering with police He was given a date to appear in court later that month, but the allegations were dropped on July 30 with a “no complaint,” according to court records. The documents don’t indicate why prosecutors decided not to pursue the accusations. Reinoehl spent no time behind bars. KANDI11, SCBIGTIME and DJ4SC like this.

Another take on Reagan’s quip....I didn’t leave the Republican party, they left me. The American Party( my pick for new movement) is what is needed today. The party of Trump, Ratcliffe, Gohmert, Cotton. The party of McStain, Romney, Ryan, Graham is dead. Time to move forward. KeenObserver and Troianus Acies like this.

It has the best and most organized group in the US being run and funded (Soros) by its off shore leaders in Netherlands or Belgium. If City leaders are not controlling the issues them let them deal with it, do not waste my Fed Tax dollars on a looser leadership in these poorly run states and cities. Poorly run Cities & States need to grow a pair as realize their poor decisions are ruining people lives. Don't bail them out and citizens need to wake up and vote the idiots out of office.

TrojanMoondoggie Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 843 Likes Received: 1,067 Aug 31, 2020 #16 Exactly. I saw some silly video posted on another site (by a liberal) of Republicans making disparaging comments about DT. Was meant to show how even Republicans have said critical things of DT. Of course they did. DT exposed them for the RINO s they were. We elected those people to take conservative values to DC. For the ones who didn't fully end up BO's lap dog, they at least allowed themselves to be swayed and controlled at times. They ended up not representing us like they said they would. And DT was the message, delivered straight to their doorsteps. When DT called them out on it and embarrassed them, they got pissy in return. Well, some of them have returned to a degree, only because they know the alternative is far worse. Even if they still don't like DT for the truths he told on them. Those who haven't, whatever. If they want to open the gates for a duo who will continue to keep black people down, and ensure the deaths of more babies, even up to birth practically (and a lot of whom are black babies), they are the ones who have to look at themselves in the mirror.
