Protestor beaten at Trump rally

sebastian2 :
As in his asking Pelosi to deploy the National Guard which she denied?

Jos. A. Bank suits, unless they've started sewing Kevlar into them, are probably a fraction of the cost of the designer suits Trump has bought over the years. Of course, if they do have Kevlar, they're probably about the same price!We are up to our necks in Chinese-made products. It was a necessary evil to keep costs down and provide affordable products and conveniences for working Joes.I don't like it when Trump attacks people over their personal appearance, and I didn't like seeing his supporters do the same. Making fun of someone's weight or appearance is just unnecessary. You can disagree with someone without going there.But criticizing Trump for wearing something made in China when practically everything we buy these days comes from China seems a bit ridiculous to me.

GiggleMugs :
Oh, heavens.
trump was the one with that authority.
Rest of my points?
Oh well

GiggleMugs :
He did... once... in a 70-minute speech. Do you want to guess what the other 69.98 minutes were? Let's look at a few tidbits: "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore"; "We fight. We fight like hell"; "You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong"; "We will stop the steal"; "We will never give up, we will never concede"; "You're allowed to go by very different rules"; and lastly, "We are going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue... and we're going to the Capitol..."He wasn't the only one to speak, either. There were openers with lines like Giuliani's: "Over the next 10 days, we get to see the machines that are crooked and the ballots that are fraudulent. Let's have trial by combat." Or how about Rep. Mo Brooks with: "Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ***"; "Our ancestors sacrificed their blood, their sweat, their tears, their fortunes, and sometimes their lives... Are you willing to do the same?"; and finally, "...carry the message to Capitol Hill."And let's not leave out Don Jr., who said: "You can be a hero, or you can be a zero. And the choice is yours. But we are coming for you, and we're going to have a good time doing it"; and, "This isn't their Republican Party anymore. This is Donald Trump's Republican Party."All in all, after all that, saying "peacefully and patriotically" surely didn't defuse the crowd at the end like some sort of off switch trigger words. If you neglect or redact enough of an event, it always seems much better, don't you think?Let's see an example. Here we focus on just a man.

Here is he full picture.

sebastian2 :
I attempted more context in the words said at the rally prior to the riot.

Sophos3 :
Perfect context!
Perfectly said!
Appreciate your post

sebastian2 : I wasn't sure if I made it too long and if the pictures were too much. There's a lot to unpack for that short amount of time. Thank you for the notes.

GiggleMugs : Why?

GiggleMugs : Pelosi had no power to deploy or not deploy the National Guard.

GiggleMugs : People are literally walking around with supercomputers in their pocket and can still be this completely wrong.
