The poor little snowflake fascists were lucky to get away with a cold, hard shower. I have absolutely no sympathy for these violent POS's.

... before the riots (violence) started riot police showed their force. (Take note at minute mark 42 seconds)

 

[GILSAN]

Again, one-sided facts. I'm trying to present a neutral argument, but it's hard when you're not doing the same.

How many protesters were injured? There's no official number, but common sense says way more than 500.

How many police were cited for excess force? Again no official number, but I imagine it looks like a goose egg.

**200 violent rioters and looters? Are you sure that's not the total amount of protesters arrested? Surely, not all of them were violent or looted.**

You think you're being neutral, but you're not... you're being anti-police. Who the hell started the violence, chaos looting, burning cars + property? The police?

And do you think the police must just stand there and get insulted and pushed around and beaten up and allow these anti-capitalist and anti so many other things, POS do what they please, while using their very capitalist iPhone 7's to take selfies of the chaos they've created?

Zero tolerance to these left wing fascist bastards

"at minute mark 42 seconds" That shows that you are anti-police, so no need to try and explain that you're neutral. I won't believe you.

You think you're being neutral, but you're not... you're being anti-police.

Not necessarily. I'm trying to be anti-one-sideness.

"at minute mark 42 seconds" That shows that you are anti-police, so no need to try and explain that you're neutral. I won't believe you.

All minute mark 42 seconds shows is I'm against police using excessive force against individuals who are not using excessive force against them. You know, against police states... It's apparent you and I have different views on what roles the police should play.

You probably prefer this version of police. (note minute mark 0:20)

Whereas I prefer how the police acted in the below video.

If anything, this comparison shows you are pro violence and lack compassion for your fellow man..

Yet -- good people he picked are leaving his administration.

You're using d-bag comedian to make your b/s point? GTFOH.

 

[mr-x]

Has he? I wasn't aware that much movement took place. In 2010, Obama passed the Post 9/11 GI Bill. An education bill that greatly improved veterans education benefits.

I know the current VA wait time in Atlanta for an initial primary care visit is roughly 60 days. That means, I can't schedule appointments for specialists (even though they pertain to my rated service connected disabilities) until after I'm seen for a physical and referred. It's just red tape. I have a documented issue. Yet I can't schedule an appointment for that documented issue until I get a physical (60 days out) SMH

I know Trump wants to eliminate veterans individual unemployability benefits (IU) when veterans are eligible for social security retirement. HERE



What exactly has this administration accomplished for the VA?

Yeah, I'm speaking specifically of VA hospitals and the accountability bill just past and the another one being written to defang the seniority protection board.

I guess 60 days is good for a Gov hospital. Better than being left in the isle to die or have your records shredded so VA execs can meet that wait time limits and 90% satisfaction Comrade Bernie liked to brag about.

Who? Elon Musk?

.......or John Oliver? John Oliver wasn't used to make my point. He was used to highlight Jared Kushner sightings.

Elon Musk leaving was the man I used to make my point against your BS assertion that he has the ability to pick good people (like Betsy Devos?) and delegate.

Uh-huh.. Elon Musk was a vital member of the Gov.

Are you referring to the Military transitioning to electronic medical records for the VA? So active duty soldiers don't lose their records when they transition to VA care? This has long been in process In April, 2009, Obama started this process HERE It's great that Trump signed legislature to make this transition faster. Trump should be saying, "Thanks Obama" for making this goal obtainable.

60 day wait time is good for a VA hospital? GTFOH

I think it's safe to say America would thrive if Elon Musk represented the USA as POTUS.

Heck - POTUS would be getting A LOT more international respect if this was the case.

Too bad he's not US born.

the another one being written to defang the seniority protection board.

This is long overdue. Phoenix VA Hospital Director Appeal HERE

PHOENIX — Former Phoenix VA hospital director Sharon Helman, who was fired in 2015 amid a controversy over delayed care for veterans, got her termination at least temporarily overturned this week by a federal court.

Helman will now have a chance to appeal her dismissal to the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, despite a criminal conviction in a separate court case.

 

[mr-x]

my point against your BS assertion that he has the ability to pick good people (like Betsy Devos?) and delegate.

I like Betsy. I like school choice.Poor parents should have the same choices as middle class and rich parents.

I think the only reason D's don't support school choice is teachers union donations to re-election campaigns.

I don't think Elon would be a good President but you never know. We do know he likes Gov money.. billions of it.

It's more than school choice, though. It's the discrimination that follows.

Some dislike her because she has plans to rewrite student loan forgiveness rules that protect students against fraudulent for profit schools like Trump University.

What Is Borrower Defense To Repaying?

Borrower Defense To Repaying allows students to have their federal student loans forgiven if a school employed illegal or deceptive practices to encourage the students to borrow debt to attend the school.

This rule was scheduled to become effective July 1, but will now be delayed.

Nearly 16,000 borrower-defense claims are currently being processed by the Education Department, and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos assured those borrowers that their loans will be discharged as expeditiously as possible.

Why would Devos support for profit schools? Surely not because she has / had ties with a student debt collection. HERE

Do you think Devos kids have ever received a student loan? No.

How should it be? Wouldn't it be great if America didn't have so many uneducated / unskilled workers?

(my political rants end here. Have a great night everyone, and happy domaining!)

Joan Walsh, professional harpie says Ivanka's dress was too feminine and made her look like her fathers property.

I wouldn't say that, but it was inappropriate for the occasion. Something professional and business like would have been a better choice.

Amazes me how sh*tty Hillary was and the DNC still fixed the primary for her,

Like Sanders stood a chance of winning? He did not. He appealed to too narrow a demographic. No support among black voters, for example.

Wonder what secrets they found on the RNC servers that they decided to use as kompromat instead of leaking them? It's naive to assume only one political party plays games to try to give an edge to a party favorite. 2016 RNC was probably too scattered until too late in the game to have a favorite, and any belated anti trump moves they may have made were outgunned by the barrage of social media trolls.

I wonder if Pres. Trump's real strength is a lack of interest in minor details, ability to pick good people and delegate.

Like Flynn?

BTW2, Mini me just decided to lawyer up...one day too late

A nice mob lawyer too. What you always want your kids to have someday.

Spraying them is using excessive force?

Spraying them is using excessive force? Giving them a cold shower with water canons is using excessive force?

Whereas I prefer how the police acted in the below video at minute mark 1:17.

That video has been removed

The majority of people that are involved in violent protests nowadays are leftists. If you don't agree with that then you are wearing blinkers on your eyes. I could put up hundreds of of videos to prove it.

Since you don't know me from a bar of soap, you would never know if I lacked compassion or not.

I have no problem whatsoever with peaceful demonstrations, but why should I have any sympathy to violent protesters, who loot and destroy public and private property?

 

[mr-x]

I wouldn't say that, but it was inappropriate for the occasion. Something professional and business like would have been a better choice.

I thought criticizing a women's looks was sexist?

This is what I don't get. Seething hate is OK as long as your hating someone from the opposition. Black R's are uncle toms, conservative women are whores, on and on.

Irony, Ivanka prob. has more in common with Walsh than any other person in the White House.

Like Sanders stood a chance of winning? He did not. He appealed to too narrow a demographic. No support among black voters, for example.

You don't think the DNC could find anyone better to be President than Hillary or a 80 year old communist?

The media work with the power brokers to put Hillary in power. They also helped Trump all through the primary.

 

[mr-x]

Like Flynn?

Mattis, Tillerson, Haiey, Sessions, ..

Not sure what you mean by discrimination. Choice ends discrimination and is the ultimate desegregation plan.

Some dislike her because she has plans to rewrite student loan forgiveness rules that protect students against fraudulent for profit schools like Trump University.

Or trade schools... But that preposterous. Why would she want people to have the freedom to choose a trade school instead of college

She's a republican so probably has a sinister plan to make more millions of $$ from letting adults choose a trade like realestate speculator or electrician.

Why would Devos support for profit schools? Surely not because she has / had ties with a student debt collection. HERE

Next we'll find out she not only had a lot of different business investment but she pretended to be a minority to get a better Job and a raise.

Do you think Devos kids have ever received a student loan? No.

SO?

Do you think any democratic member of congress or executive in the teachers union send their kids to public school? Do you think their Kids will take out student loans?

At least Devos is working to give poor parents the opportunity to send the kids to successful schools. The
dissonance is amazing.
