Terry McAuliffe, clinton bag man and Gov of VA., spun a few whoppers on a podcast with DeRay; claiming alt-right had caches of weapons, including battering rams stashed around the city. The Chief of Police has shot story down.

Along with his previous lies about armed militias make it clear to me that he wanted violence between left and right.

TL;DR

on Saturday, police and National Guardsmen were to be found only on the periphery of the brawling. Indeed, the Virginia ACLU reported that police were refusing to intervene unless specifically ordered to do so.

Baltimore Removes Four Confederate Statues Under Cover of Night
In a stealth purging of history, the city of Baltimore removed four Confederate statues from city property under cover of night early Tuesday morning.

City crews began the destruction of the monuments just before midnight and finished by 5:30 a.m., the Hill reported.

The city council quietly approved the removal late on Monday in a unanimous vote.

“It’s done,” Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh told the Baltimore Sun. “They needed to come down. My concern is for the safety and security of our people. We moved as quickly as we could.”

One of those was a Robert E. Lee statue. Robert E. Lee himself would approve of the move since he was against it.

Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments

“I think it wiser,” the retired military leader wrote about a proposed Gettysburg memorial in 1869, “…not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered.”

“It’s often forgotten that Lee himself, after the Civil War, opposed monuments, specifically Confederate war monuments,” said Jonathan Horn, the author of the Lee biography, “The Man Who Would Not Be Washington.”

In his writings, Lee cited multiple reasons for opposing such monuments, questioning the cost of a potential Stonewall Jackson monument, for example. But underlying it all was one rationale: That the war had ended, and the South needed to move on and avoid more upheaval.

Ann Coulter: When Liberals Club People, It’s with Love in Their Hearts
Apparently, as long as violent leftists label their victims “fascists,” they are free to set fires, smash windows and beat civilians bloody. No police officer will stop them.
They have carte blanche to physically assault anyone they disapprove of, including Charles Murray, Heather Mac Donald, Ben Shapiro, me, and Milo Yiannopoulos, as well as anyone who wanted to hear us speak.

Really would not have mattered what President Trump said. He just made it worse.

"Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You....."
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 4h4 hours ago

He just has some sort of mental block or something.

1 dead/32 injured Barcelona terror attack. That'll go up obviously, CNN showing some graphic video.

So I guess Trump is saying to just bury the terrorists with pigs, and that'll end terrorism. And some people were saying that tweets would go thru that new general to get an ok first.

The idiocy of this guy.

"Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!"
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 6m6 minutes ago

"U.S. General John J. Pershing did not effectively discourage Muslim terrorists in the Philippines by killing them burying and their bodies along with those of pigs."

Not the first time he's telling lies, him lying again today is getting taken apart on Twitter - https://twitter.com/search?q=Pershing&src=tren

Talks about getting his facts first, continues to post false stories.

The Left: The majority of Muslims are peaceful. Don't ask them to denounce terrorism, it's not their fault.

Also the left: Nazis are racist, All Republicans must denounce them. All republicans are racist.

Trump in 2020. The left is so far over the edge of reality, Trump, with all his faults is still a better choice.

Most Muslims are peaceful. Nazis are racist. I don't see anybody saying all Republicans are racist. And everybody should denounce Nazis etc.

Tennessee Republican Bob Corker:
"I do think there need to be some radical changes," Corker told reporters, according to a video posted by a reporter for Nooga.com. "The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful ... And we need for him to be successful. Our nation needs for him to be successful."

"[Trump] also recently has not demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation," Coekrs said Thursday. "He has not demonstrated that he understand what has made this nation great and what it is today. And he's got to demonstrate the characteristics of a president who understands that."

"Without the things that I just mentioned happening our nation is going to go through great peril," he said.

And he has no chance in 2020. I don't think he wants another for years, I don't think he wants another day. He didn't really want it in the first place.

I wonder if the DNC will demand we rename Washington from D.C.. Sounds like a solid platform if your a communist carpet bager.

The left: Republicans promote hate and violence.

Also the left: Antifa is protecting the fabric of our country. Republicans are Nazi sympathizers. Being pro-life is just like being a Nazi.

Trump in 2020.
