One hour into the Senate Judiciary Committee, nothing interesting so far apart from Russia, Clinton emails (again), FISA, Crossfire Hurricane, Flynn, Mueller report (which wasn't released by Barr, and the Senate Republicans expect Rosentein to answer questions on it)
Nothing interesting apart from all the interesting things you just listed right? undecided

Coin, go ask the civil protesters in front of Lafayette Park across the White House. Was that not gassing. I hope Buhari gas you in your cave. Tell me one president in America who gassed innocent protesters. That's our 1st Amendment right which you will never have in Nigeria.
There was no gassing, teargas wasn't even used. You need to keep up with the news

And for you to even think that using teargas is the same thing as Hitler gassing people to death in gas chambers, I don't even know what to tell you.

There's no difference between Hitler and Trump...using military force and gassing people...both of whom are propagandists
You are nothing but a stupid liar, not only that you are very ignorant. You think it was teargas that Hitler's men were using? Hitler's gas chambers were used for killing people. The military in the US haven't even used teargas on anyone talk more of gassing anyone to death. You are just making stupid comparisons

Use your brain. Did you watch the video or not? Even a child in the belly knew Floyd was murdered. What? Are you saying if the president calls for the prosecution of the officers involved, it would mean the president is usurping the judicial process? What's wrong with some of you? Since when does calling for prosecution means passing a guilty verdict? Are you serious?

Yes, as much as I hated to admit it, Obama (whom I deem a monumental failure as much as blacks are concerned) did address the nation and called for justice for the murder of Garner, even after a grand jury cleared the cops involved of any criminal charges. He made a promise that they will see they get to the bottom of it, and the next few moments saw the Department of Justice conducting a separate investigation of their own, not withstanding the final outcome therefrom.

Here is the catch: when you're the president of a country that is highly divided across racial lines, do your best to douse tensions in times of public unrest where the subject matter revolves around race. Trump could have done his part (and even use this opportunity to leverage his re-election drive) by addressing the nation and advocating for justice for the murdered Floyd. Then appeal to the rioters by promising a deep review of policing activities in relation to the public. Mind you, more than 30 million people and their sources of income are already devasted by the coronavirus outbreak and the consequent lockdown effect.

What you're seeing on the street now is not just a problem of white supremacists or blacks boiled-over anger for years of systematic racism, nor just ANTIFA or some imagined dark groups hijacking the protest to score political or racial points. Its all part of it, but the real thing here is that people are broke and angry. A hungry man is an angry man, and the last thing you can think of is making remarks that could aggravate the whole situation. Unfortunately, that's what Trump did. He was completely wrong for not addressing the issue in a manner that conveys sensual feelings. He is all for the economy, and laboured strenuously for it, and wants the lockdown doors to open quickly so things can get back to normal, which is good. Then why give the same people a reason to stay more time in the streets?

Heck, don't tell me " when the looting starts, the shooting starts" is a good and welcomed statement in this hour, or is it? Don't tell me calling protesters "thugs" (when we all know what that statement suggest and to whom it is implied) in such critical hour is a welcome and well guarded statement? You're better than this man. That I like Trump for certain reasons don't mean I should support his failures as well.

On the bunker issue, I repeat it was needless to have run into a bunker. Jesus. This isn't even a code-red situation that warrant he been moved into a bunker. The entire situation is too dramatic to imagine. I'm beginning to think that either someone in his inner circle is trying to sabotage trump reelection or he is just been plain stupid. That bunker retreat crystalyzes Trump's AWOL response to George Floyd's death and subsequent riot that's still ongoing. It's unimaginable that up till now, the president who wants economic activities to bounce back in full swing is yet to address the nation and it's streets crowded with rioters in a formal telecast, even if its from his underground bunker. And here you are supporting this wreckless failure.

Alright, may be a black man gruesome murder isn't worth it, Hong Kong and China are more important to talk about. BIG SHAME on Trump on this one.
How was it needless for Trump to run to a bunker? The secret service made the decision to rush him there and you don't know why they decided to do that. If am given a choice between believing the judgement of the secret service and the judgement of a Nairalander, I will believe the secret service did the right thing a million times before I believe you.

1. Trump called for and promised Justice for George Floyd before the riots even started

2. Trump didn't call the protesters thugs, you must have been brainwashed by fake news. He used it to describe those rioting, looting and attacking people and he was right. News flash!! Obama also called the Baltimore rioters thugs.

You are just sounding like another fake news braiwashed liberal, you even lifted a line verbatim from the fake news media " That bunker retreat crystalyzes Trump's AWOL response to George Floyd's death" you just copied and pasted it from a Washington post opinion piece by Aaron Blake and you want me to take you serious? Swallowing and vomiting liberal garbage is not a sign of smart thinking

Are you guys emotionally challenged or you have no iota of humanity in you? Have you watched the video at all, and if you have watched it how did it make you feel? Seeing a human being (forget he is black) being killed in such a gruesome manner. Even humans beings in Germany, UK and other countries are appalled.

It's much more than a man being killed by cops. Afterall, this is not the first time a blackman is being killed by white cops. It's the gruesome manner that is enraging people.

The whole country is grieving right now, there are protests in all 50 states. The best a president should do is to console the whole country. No one is saying he should order for the execution of the police officers, what he is expected to do is console the family of George Floyd, console the state of minnesota and promise justice for the George Floyd.
Trump already did everything you are saying he is expected to do. He called the family of George Floyd and consoled them, He promised justice for George Floyd but that doesn't mean he should look the other way when some criminals decide to take advantage of the situation and burn down the whole place.

Lol Indeed we live in an upside world. President Trump holds up Bible at St John's Church, MSM goes into meltdown and outrage; Whereas There was looting and burning down of properties by the rioters, MSM goes into silence - no outrage and willful condemnation of such mayhem.
Indeed the rioters set St John's Church on fire and not one of these hypocrites complained. Now Trump holding up a Bible in front of the church is what is disturbing them. These people are mad.

You guys are sounding more ridiculous everyday in your attempt to defend the incompetence of Trump.

Let me give you a small example of something similar here in Nigeria while in was at IFE (University of IFE ).
Around 1988, during one of the protest by students, and student was shot and killed by a policeman. This exasperated the situation, and students was about rioting, the then V.C. Prof Wande Abimbola quickly reached out to the student union and called for an urgent meeting with with the students. The meeting was set for the football field at the sports centre. The V.C. who is an Ifa priest came wearing his full Ifa regalia. As rude as the students were, he spoke calmly and asked everyone to sit down. He himself sat on the bare ground and discussed with the student leaders. After about 1 hour of intense negotiations, the V.C. ordered the police off campus, and a major catastrophe was averted.
Professor Wande Abimbola's tenure was the only period I recall that there was no major riot in IFE. A good administrator listen to grievances and calm the nerves of aggrieved people, not issue threats.
You are the one sounding ridiculous, can you even imagine the ridiculous example you gave to compare what's happening in America? A man was killed by cops in Georgia and you want President Trump to do what? Call for the killing of the the cops or what? Imagine a president coming out to pass judgement before the investigative process and judicial process is concluded, how does that sound to you? Even Obama didn't do that when black people were murdered by cops during his time and I don't recall any of you hypocrites complaining then. Trump didn't make any threats to anyone until the rioters started looting, destroying and burning down people's properties. You want him to fold his hands and give the rioters a free pass to continue their destructive actions?

Do you know the meaning of calling a black person 'Uncle Tom'?
Abbeybailey has been calling every black Trump supporter in America and on this forum Uncle Toms, I never saw you complaining or calling him to order. Are we not black enough? Or does uncle Tom have a different meaning when Abbeybailey uses it?

Appleyard:
In as much as I have supported Trump on many occasions, he got this one completely wrong. That statement he made saying "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" is not just only reckless but senseless and smirks of stupidity at the highest levels.

He running like a frightened lunatic into a bunker is one of the most irresponsible thing for a president to do in this trying times.

The violence we are seeing now is a reflection and manifestation of years of racial abuse and oppression suffered by black americans. Even many whites did joined up in the protest and violence because it has become so glaring that the US justice system is laden with systematic racism.

Common sense presupposes that the president should be out calling for the heads of the murderous police officers involved, propose reforms in policing and criminalize police brutality through formal legislation. That's how you win over people.

But what have we...the president of the supposed most powerful nation on earth makes unguarded statements, talks about labeling ANTIFA as a terrorist group, more concerned about what's happening in Hong Kong than an angry section of his people in his country, and when the protest gets hotter, the guy ran like a fat pig into an underground bunker....ALL THESE FAILURES AND CHARADE IN AN ELECTION TIMELINE.

I'm completely disappointed in Trump. His behavior in this incident is not different from one of the senseless and insensitive leaders we have in some African countries. Very pathetic behavior.
You're the one sounding pathetically ignorant. Trump is the president and you want him to come out and pass a guilty sentence on the cops before a judicial process is complete? Did you ask Obama to do that when the likes of Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin were killed? He did what he needed to do as president, ordering the FBI to investigate the matter and promising the people that they will get justice. So labeling antifa a domestic terrorist group is an unguarded statement? Why if I may ask? You are angry he is doing his job in an election timeline? I don't even want to talk about your most pathetic comment of all that Trump ran like a frightened lunatic or a fat pig into an underground an underground bunker, there is nothing to say about that senseless comment other than you are pathetically ignorant.

Race relation was at all time worst during Obama administration and all the cries of racism you are seeing today is the groundwork Obama laid. Obama wouldn't have been elected if America is racist, people were wrong for thinking a mixed race like Obama was going to help get races together but he divided them further.

Democrats are race hustlers because that's how they can keep people suppressed and their mumu followers are all soaked in.
Obama was evil, the worst thing that ever happened to America was electing that devil as president. It was a big mistake!

A week ago conservative Americans were peacefully protesting to go back to work while liberal media said they were a danger to society due to some not wearing masks and not social distancing. Today liberal Antifa mobs are everywhere burning down cities and the media no longer have an issue with them not wearing masks nor social distancing. Where are all those liberals who were calling people grandma killers for going out without masks? HYPOCRITES!! Liberalism is a mental disorder
