International News Donald Trump πŸŠπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Even George Floyd's family are asking for calm but people aren't listening and the senseless violence and looting is continuing. Seeing what the protestors are doing to shop owners in particular is incredibly sad to see, especially those trying to save their living and standing their ground. They are already struggling with the lockdown and now they are dealing with this. And in some dirt poor areas too.

The protestors have to be more intelligent and nuanced than wanton violence and mob justice, and stop allowing the agitators like Antifa to do their thing.

Rather than looking for false flags such as Antifa to blame, perhaps the Police can lead by example and stop killing innocent blacks? Even better, the Commander in Chief could stop tweeting quotes likely to incite?
 
That's what happens when you have basically unrestricted access to powerful guns and a society that is awash with them. People shoot each other.

In this case, you can add in what seems to be endemic racism in the justice system and parts of the police and a pointless death and you have a crisis. Not helped by the pillock in the White House posting stupid tweets while he is sitting having a crap.
 
That’s the problem, people start a peaceful protest on the topic of β€˜black lives matter’ then some other people for whatever reason start smashing up shops (look at the video of that one white guy trying to hide his identity smashing windows with a hammer) and people go β€˜Ah well that’s doing their cause no good whatsoever’

There have actually been documented cases of protestors protecting property, as well as a lone police officer who got separated
 

Another take on it and Trump could end up alienating some of religious supporters with moves like this.
We can but hope.

Mind you at this rate, if Trump continues on his current trajectory into insanity, there's a fighting chance he will be removed long before he gets to November.

The sad and sickening thing is how many Americans are going to lose their lives and what kind of populist bulllshit stunt he will try and pull between now and then. As the domestic agenda becomes too hot to handle, he will in classic far right style look for a suitable squirrel as a diversion tactic.....and the Don flexing "his" muscles and military might on the world stage is a truly frightening prospect as he becomes more and more unhinged. And as he has increasingly surrounded himself with sycophants, who has the balls to stand up to him? Maybe the only hope is that the Wizard of Oz is able to find a heart for Ivanka and a moral compass for Jarred and only then might he listen to reason..... ?
 
this is an American thing with a very poor President fanning the flames of anarchy with his comments, and now he is threatening to send the army in to quell the riots. When will the yanks realise what a plonker they have in the White House.
 
Perhaps this uber-irrational behaviour demonstrated by Bunker Boy could be an unintended side-effect of the hydroxychloroquine? What a s**t-show.

When do negotiations for a trade deal with the US of A begin, by the way?
 
Have you seen the attacks on people and businesses??
I think the public need to be protected from these riots and to say otherwise to be is basically letting mob' s rule the streets

Just wondering if the protest over here because of George Floyds murder will turn into rioting and looting?

Let's hope not , as we are not the USA and for the most part have a more blended society without the history that the states have .

Exactly but possibly it could be enflamed over here by those who want to riot and loot and not protest about black lives matter

It could be , not sure I get your point though.
That is why order needs to be enforced as otherwise you will have given over to the mob

And I wonder if that will come before or after we realise what a plonker we've got in Number 10 ? ;)

He can't send in the army, I believe the constitution prohibits it.
 
This is becoming hilarious! Trump's response to violence is more violence. Trump's assertion that law and order must apply extends to everyone but certain sections of the country's police forces.

Tough guy politics are doomed to failure, as can be seen currently in Brazil, where an equally moronic president still prefers to play politics than deal with a national crisis.

Oh, but he was democratically elected, so that's alright then. Crack on and do whatever you like.
