In a sit-down interview with President Trump in Dallas, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner explained the origins of the phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” which the president tweeted in the first days of protest following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
That’s the very essence of the phrase, “wasting your breath.”
So Trump’s defense is that he thought the comment originated with a northern racist!
The unchastised Toadglans immediately gave zero fucks.
JC. He was like a little school boy in the principals office in that clip. Has he lashed out against her yet?
FAUX News seems to be cutting ties to Trump bit by bit. I hope they both go down the toilet but it is still a good sign of Trump’s prospects in November.
How could ANY POC work for FAUX?
Talk about a hostile workplace.
You don’t think it’s because of the money do you?
Given the headline, I was enticed to think that she had turned him over her knees and given him a good caning on his rump.
Alas…
“They even had the unmitigated gall to make coffee for themselves and to pop popcorn, my popcorn, in my microwave, while looters were tearing apart businesses within their sight and within their reach,” Rush (D-IL) said.
The incident, which Rush and Lightfoot said was captured on CCTV, showed the officers—and at least three supervisors—with feet up on desks. One officer “was asleep on my couch” while another “was on his cellphone,” Rush said.
“They were in a mode of relaxation and did not care about what was happening. They did not care. They absolutely did not care,” Rush added.
Rush’s office is located in a strip mall that had been looted for several hours that night. While Lightfoot clarified that the officers were responding to a call that the campaign office had been broken into and burglarized, Rush said that when he finally got around to viewing the CCTV—he was horrified to see it filled with cops.
There wasn’t any foreplay or an available Forbes
I feel twitter rage coming on.

You should hear the bullcrap excuses being made by the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police on the local news…
If you’re willing to sell your eternal soul, I guess it is the money…
We all know that Trump is un-educable. So he will “learn” nothing but increase his enemies list.
The value of this story? Little…except, perhaps, as a tag-team of Murdoch’s view that Trump will get toasted in November.
Follow up: pray tell when and where did you hear this phrase uttered?
From the WaPo article:
Meanwhile, Trump also doubled down on his defense that the phrase has more than one meaning.
“It means two things, very different things,” Trump told Faulkner. “One is, if there’s looting, there’s probably going to be shooting, and that’s not as a threat, that’s really just a fact, because that’s what happens. And the other is, if there’s looting, there’s going to be shooting. They’re very different meanings.”
“Oh, interesting,” Faulkner responded.
He just doesn’t get, nor does he want to get.

I love Trump’s explanation of the meaning of the phrase: “It means two things, very different things,” Trump told Faulkner. “One is, if there’s looting, there’s probably going to be shooting, and that’s not as a threat, that’s really just a fact, because that’s what happens. And the other is, if there’s looting, there’s going to be shooting. They’re very different meanings.”
Very clear distinction there, genius. So what does “when there’s looting, there’s going to be shooting” mean? On the one hand, it means if there is looting, there is probably going to be shooting. On the other hand, it means if there is looting, there is gong to be shooting. Got it!
Amazingly, this apparently communicates something to the Fox interviewer who responds, “Oh interesting,” as if repeating the same phrase three times in a row results in a nice point being made.
The best part is the cops were loitering in the office of a former leader of the Black Panther Party.
