Dr. Gonzo Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 13 hours ago, Harry said: James Mattis has released a statement. Probably the most universally respected of trumps original cabinet, the former Secretary of Defence has packed a few punches. In Union There Is Strength I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words “Equal Justice Under Law” are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation. When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troopst takingthat same oath would be ordered under any circumstance tov violatethe Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less top providea bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, withm military leadership standing alongside. We must reject any thinking of our cities as a “battlespace” that our uniformed military is called upon to “dominate.” At home, we should use our military only when requested to do so, on very rare occasions, by state governors. Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false conflict— between the military and civilian society. It erodes the moral ground that ensures a trusted bond between men and women in uniform and the society they are sworn to protect, and of which they themselves are a part. Keeping public order rests with civilian state and local leaders who best understand their communities and are answerable to them. James Madison wrote in Federalist 14 that “America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.” We do not need to militarize our response to protests. We need to unite around a common purpose. And it starts by guaranteeing that all of us are equal before the law. Instructions given by the military departments to our troops before the Normandy invasion reminded soldiers that “The Nazi slogan for destroying us…was ‘Divide and Conquer.’ Our American answer is ‘In Union there is Strength.’” We must summon that unity to surmount this crisis—confident that we are better than our politics. Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children. We can come through this trying time stronger, and with a renewed sense of purpose and respect for one another. The pandemic has shown us that it is not only our troops who are willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of the community. Americans in hospitals, grocery stores, post offices, and elsewhere have put their lives on the line in order to serve their fellow citizens and their country. We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square. We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution. At the same time, we must remember Lincoln’s “better angels,” and listen to them, as we work to unite. Only by adopting a new path—which means, in truth, returning to the original path of our founding ideals—will we again be a country admired and respected at home and abroad. James Mattis Lol that’s a former Secretary of Defense comparing his former boss to the Nazis and called him a threat to the constitution. I should go check twitter and see what Donny dumb dumb has responded with.

In truth Mattis resigned in protest when trump abandoned the Kurds and leaked his resignation letter which garnered lots of attention. Donald then asked him not to serve our his notice period.

Largely renewals of existing wall sections The wall already fucking exists tbh, his plan was stupid in the first place because he wants to build on natural barriers like a giant mountain range that’s very tough to cross. Border states also have immigration checkpoints higher up from the border too - in San Diego there’s one between the county ending and Orange County beginning. It’s a very good thing that the progress on his wall is underwhelming.

Guest Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I remember watching this interview trump had with Ali g years ago. He said cavemen use to trade stones. And now he's president in a pandemic
Mpache Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Joe Biden is at 49% in the poll average. I'm guessing this is projections? Either way the reason I bring this up is that it's worrying that Trump still has about 42%. Agenda-ridden twats are what ruin this world.
6666 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Trump is gonna win again. The other side just plan to win by default because they think Trump will have shot himself in the foot too many times. Not sure that encourages people, that usually wouldn't vote, to be enthusiastic enough to start voting.

Not sure that encourages people, that usually wouldn't vote, to be enthusiastic enough to start voting. I don't discount that possibility but the data isn't on that side at all at the moment. The above swing states are crucial for trump and he's looking very likely to lose at least two of them plus Michigan (where he's massively taken on their hugely popular governor), North Carolina and Florida. Putting aside the things trump will do through abuse of power to take Biden down, and the fact I don't believe he'll step aside if he does lose, I'd say that currently Biden is on course to win big and for the Dems to take back the senate. That alone almost guarantees trump being jailed by 2022 which itself almost guarantees that the election won't be permitted to play out that way.

To be fair that poll showed Hillary up by 1.5%, and she was up by 3.2% by the election. She ended up winning by 2.1% but losing the general because of close results in key states, and because last minute undecideds went to trump. An 8% margin (closer to the election) is undisputed majority and electoral college majority territory.
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 The polls are manipulated by the media. I honestly can't believe anyone inteligent puts stock in them. How Many Times Do You Need To Be Stung

How Many Times Do You Need To Be Stung Polling isn't an exact science and is not a certainty. But bad polls go both ways and they tend to average out. Below is real clear politics average of all polls, weighted by the quality and reputation for accuracy of the pollsters. They won't always give you the perfect reflection of how people will actually vote though because many people walk into the election booth still unsure which way they'll go. That normally benefits the sitting president.
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 You especially. The liberals won the UNWINNABLE election. Through sheer stupidity and media pull
Harry Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Love him or hate him I don't think anyone composes such succinct anti trump op eds as George Conway. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/05/presidents-inhumanity-is-deeper-than-we-knew/ As a New Yorker profile of Trump put it nearly a quarter-century ago, Trump lives “an existence unmolested by the rumbling of a soul.” That’s Donald Trump’s problem yesterday, today and tomorrow. It’s our problem, too, for now: We remain governed by a soulless man with a broken mind. The damage will continue, and it won’t stop until voters end it
Harry Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 If Defund The Police becomes a trending slogan from the protestor side that will be music to Trump's ears. That's just way too polarising.

Harry Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Some interesting developments in the trump reelection front. New York Times reported today George W Bush will not endorse Trump for reelection. Colin Powell now going public that he will be voting for Joe Biden.
