Meanwhile, the White House is paralyzed by indecision. Oh, not on how to solve problems, but how to benefit politically.

I believe that in the first 100 days of democratic control of the senate, house, and white house, we need to turn D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, into Muriel Browser, Governor of the State of the District of Columbia.

Quickly follow that by the State of Puerto Rico.

He’s just a disgusting, horrid person. The only thing he could do that might actually tone the protests down would be to resign.

Surprised they haven’t noted yet the similarities between the scenes last night and Benghazi, which is a clear indicator that Hillary is behind all of this.

Make no mistake. The radical subversives, the nihilists, and the unAmerican extremists are in the White House, and not those protestors on the streets pleading for justice. This is well said.

In all fairness to Trump, he did order burning crosses to be lowered at all his golf courses.

He never “had me”, but he completely and irrevocably lost me with that last comment. This is not a serious person, he’s a propagandist.

We need to stay focused. Trump is a wounded individual. I have seen too many references to his strengths and not enough of ours.

Oh, wow. This is good. Cuomo is showing he’s up to the challenge, whereas De Blasio is unworthy, inept, incompetent, and fanning the flames.

ETA: And this. This is leadership!! All we ask for is fairness and justice.

Okay, a game for fun. Pretend you’re a reporter who isn’t worried about being fired. What would you ask the President?

I’ll start:

  • Sir, how do you respond to the many people that are saying you should shut the fuck up?
  • Mr. President, are you pro-fascist, given your stance against “antifa”?
  • Mr. President, do you consider your failures at protecting the nation from Coronavirus, your failure at international diplomacy, or your failures in domestic leadership your biggest mistake?

While Trump’s Tweets are divisive there are 52 Senators ,McConnell the worst, should be in the headlines everyday.
The MSM know this and who are backing them and yet they zero in on Trump.
Let us have full coverage.
