trump will come out of this with higher approval ratings than before it all started cuz his people lap this law n order shit up, you know he must be looking at it as a gift

there is no hockey so turn on the tube and catch a riot

Not sure what channel you've been tuned into but I see zero law and order right now. But you should be correct about his approvals after this depending on how long or severe it gets.

"U.S. President Donald Trump is doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on a bet rooted in history: that when civil-rights protests turn riotous, Americans will favour the iron fist."

For a pres who is by all accounts a lame duck on so many things these riots look like a gift  ?

A jokester at the pub made the crack about catching a riot on the toob cuz there is no hockey

America is so polarized I am not sure if we can use the usual guides to determine how this will play politically.  The volume is already at 11, so I think this will just entrench what we already have seen for the past couple of years.

When you look in a dictionary for the definition of sensationalism, you'll find this tweet.

Park at the upper left looks pretty similar. 

All because some wannabe thug in a police uniform was triggered over a pink umbrella. 

Americans need to research how HK Protesters handle things. Traffic cones and water bottles to neutralize tear gas.

Found another quote from Obama, this one is agreeable:

"Let's not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it. If we want our criminal justice system, and American society at large, to operate on a higher ethical code, then we have to model that code ourselves,

Typical apologistic horseshit from the master of horseshit himself. Fuck Obama, he's a "Tom", and made himself irrelevant. Quoting Obama proves one's self equally irrelevant.

I would prefer that our revolution eschew the poison of violence, which I know too intimately from my two decades as a war correspondent. But I also know that when everything around you conspires to crush you, the only way left to affirm yourself is to destroy, not only the structures and institutions that have oppressed you, but often yourself. I saw this when I lived in the impoverished neighborhood of Roxbury in Boston and when I worked as a reporter in Gaza. This understanding was something Malcom X, who came out of poverty, always understood and Martin Luther King, a product of the black bourgeoisie, learned later.

Obama understands this too, butt prefers to keep his mouth shut of the truth and his nose polished brown by sticking it up the filthy assholes of amerikkkas toxic shit spewing elites.

.....the current uprising is only a prelude to what is yet to come. Sometime this summer millions and millions of desperate and angry unemployed workers are going to take to the streets; with possibly many millions heading directly to the White House. Then what happens?

Now we have an idea why Trump had the tanks out for last years 4th of July. You cant wait for more insurrection and you basically want a civil war, is that semi accurate?
