Without wishing to trivialise the current situation ...

You think that's trivialising?

Every time I see SLF's new username I'm reminded of the classic B-side to Otis Redding's Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay in which he tells the story of a fisherman with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Shittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Neither of those politicians would do anything to reform the structural inequality in the country. These PDs are governed by cities and states anyway.

Trump has made the political call to pour petrol on the fire and making these MAGA luantics in police forces do things they may not ordinarily do, but yeah these problems go way beyond the white nationalist Pres.

Yeah man power to the people, just like Obama encouraged teh cops to struggle Eric Garner in 2014..

You're wasting your time mate. Once you sign up as a contestant in the left-right political game, you are trapped for life.

I merely respond in order to show him up for the neutrals and balanced.

BTW, If Obama really did stand for a difference, then he would have been bowled within months.

Neutral and balanced. That’s funny. You are so far from balanced you’re continually rolling.

What's the answer for what appears to be an oligarchy running the U.S?

Trump isn't the cause of America's long deep rooted issues, but surely the time for more diplomatic and measured words is now?

Guns, racism , unchecked capitalism. Anyone with an easy answer is full of shit. It probably won’t be fixed and the country may be in terminal decline. In terms of its territory, it may look very different in 2120.

This is my thinking. Scary times.

Know it's been said numerous times in this thread but as each day goes by, incredibly grateful to live here.

True, although that comes with the rider that other members of the community here don’t experience the same gratefulness we’re lucky enough to feel.

I think the oligarchy will probably push for a German style national socialism..
I also think this is being pushed by both sides of the political spectrum to get them there.
I can’t see how you can simply make 40 odd million people jobless, without a safety net and not have people on the streets.
If the army is sent in to keep the peace who knows what could happen next but they’ll certainly need to fill the political gap somehow.

Chuds with paramilitary gear was never a good idea.

It’s a militarised state.

Yeah I agree. Trumps failure to communicate properly and his love of himself are what turn many against him. Many of his policies make sense imo. Some don’t for sure.

But the biggest problem is he finds hard to put coherent words together.

re the video of the car driving into protestors earlier posted:



I mean come on...

Cops don't look like they're sticking to dealing with black protestors:

The restraint shown by protesters is remarkable.

Wait till he finds out Taylor Garner is back on the injured list.

By product of the American adventurism and a unchecked military budget. All that equipment had to go somewhere.

They’re roving around like militaries.

What a crock

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

As always, extremes on both sides.

This makes it impossible to actually work toward a solution.
