  1. tRump and the ENTIRE republican party are against the citizens of the United States. Lock these criminals up. How is this possible in a democratic country?

    1. You guys are sick in the head. Just stop and think about what antifa has been doing. We can’t let them continue to destroy property and injure innocent civilians.

    2. Deadbeat Donny I’m not scared i have the means to defend myself but I care about my people too not just myself. I don’t want violence to consume my country I love this country this is MY country and these are MY people who are being hurt. If you can’t understand that you’re a psychopath.

    3. @Nothing At all You’re being manipulated by fear. We’re approaching 150,000 dead Americans due to the incompetence of the grifter who has distracted you by fear mongering and exaggerating mostly minor skirmishes, some of which were orchestrated by right wing terrorist sects. When Antifa starts hitting numbers like 150,000 (which by November will be at least 250,000) get back to me, you cowardly and therefore easily grifted moron.

  2. The governors should call out the National Guard to protect their citizens from these Brown Shirt thugs.

    1. @Stephan Leo Democrats are firebombing synagogues, attacking Israel, and blaming Jews for everything in the name of “social justice.” Democrats want more crime. They attack courthouses, advocate getting rid of police completely, want violent criminals released, and defend sanctuary policies that protect violent illegal aliens.

    2. @CSharp People inside of the Portland Court House were boarded in by The Mob & Antifa. Then they set fires to burn them alive.

    3. Earl of Mar First, you don’t know it was Antifa. They’ve just become the right wing’s favorite Boogeyman aside socialists.
      Two, I know right-wing media is portraying it as attempted murder, but that’s not what happened. A group of portraits lit plywood on fire while other protestors were telling them not to.
      Third, the Federal Government sent federal officers in to violate the protestors’ Constitutional right to free speech after sending unidentified armed men to kidnap people off the streets. Those officers were firing tear gas and smoke grenades at protestors.
      trump has deliberately convinced some of you that something that Americans have done since the birth of this country and is protected by the Constitution, is suddenly something to be stomped out. THAT is un-American.

  3. All the protesters need to wear the same camo as the FEDS…..they will be confused 🤣😂🤣🙄

    1. I don’t think that’s even illegal LOL, they aren’t identifying themselves are a police force and thus you are not impersonating police.

  4. THIS PRESIDENT TOO, SHALL MOVE ON. And he’s not taking the rats with him. We WILL deal with them in January

    1. This is Fascism pure and simple. This is a dry run. How many of these supposed Federal agents are outsourced Blackwater? How many are Proud boys? Putin is STILL paying bounties on our soldiers in the meantime. This POS does not plan on leaving.

    2. Add my report to their crimes!
      My investigation report on how Trump spent $3 TRILLION ($3,000,000,000,000) stimulus funds that his administration received to combat coronavirus (including $100s of billions for testing, masks and other PPE). Yet 145K deaths, 4.1M infected and 40M jobless!
      Please read to see who got the most of $3 Trillion and for what.

      (Link to the PDF format of my reports is also available in comments section of the videos – there are more reports on my channel on propaganda & conspiracy theories, including WHO, HCQ, 5G, China, etc.)

    1. @KC JONES You don’t have to be a Grandpa to know history. BTW Dave .S relating a true event that actually happened .

    2. This is what happens when your mayors and governors don’t send in police to protect you and your fellow citizens. The federal government was forced to get involved. People are literally dying, businesses are being destroyed while we’re in economic turmoil, fires are being started in government buildings, African American struggles are being used to justify a violent political agenda. It’s sickening. And if you support this regressive movement you’re supporting the people who are taking advantage of black Americans.

    3. @Diane Hooper
      It was an attempt at humor, but when my grandpa would tell me a story, it sounded like that, yes I understand different accounts of Hitler’s rise to power. The United States is not in any way set up for that sort of takeover. Now if dump decides to say by executive order I decree we need all Chinese people in the united states to be disarmed, or quaranteened or something like that. Then people would become concerned and they would stand.

    1. Dawn Sandra lmao you can have 200 million vote in California but it will be over before then. The common sense American will never vote for a man that will be dead in 2 years.

    2. @Dawn Sandra I’m looking for videos of “peaceful protesters” from the recent riots Any examples? or is it because they were never peaceful???? hmmm

  5. All Governors need to bring out the National guard to protect American citizens protesting peacefully.

    1. @kirkplane :- Wrong…with regards to the Federal goons sent in by Trump and Barr…there was NO consultation with city administration regarding the sending in of these tactical shock troops from southern state border patrol and penitentiary guard staff. They were definitely not requested, and in fact were asked to stay away!

    2. Blue Eyes White Dragon who cares if the politicians didn’t want them there? The innocent citizens want them. They want safety from these criminals. Antifa is a terrorist organization.

    3. @Blue Eyes White Dragon Non-issue…You obviously see in black and white only. Remember it is a living color world. President Trump can and IS sending troops in to do the job of #1 protecting federal property and law enforcement. He does not need consult or any other thing to do so, the courtesy call is just for feelings. 2nd and not so difficult is the Department of Homeland Security…think about it…It is all political and part of the dance. All a show and pictures for the news. Thanks for playing.

    4. @Tonia Allen Wake up from the Fake news narrative and think from a bigger perspective if you can…all rules are out the window because public safety is now the focus.

    5. @Blue Eyes White Dragon They don’t have to do anything as you say except follow their own authority. The weak and pathetic cities and Governors have FAILED and the Federal Government will do whatever it takes as top Law Enforcement Officers. Their local cops will probably join up with the Feds because the only reason this riot crap is happening is the Governors gave stand down orders and took the toys

  6. There’s a lot of things I expect from America racism sexism Good Ole American intolerance but fascism authoritarian dictatorship farfetch,engineered by a failed reality TV host hard to believe

    1. i’ve pinched myself…i wasn’t dreaming this whole time, though it has been a fing nightmare

    1. IF Obama/biden did their job during those 8years then trump wouldn’t be president today. Think about that for a sec. You cannot argue that all those counties that flipped in 16 was done by russia

    2. Just like mayor’s doing nothing then their cities are destroyed then blame Trump because they refused to take action.

    1. @Skullmaggot Trump loves the flag. Demorcraps hate it and they love the Slaver Parties past. That’s why they’ve got all their low IQ demturds tearing down the Slaver Parties horrendous past. These mindless uneducated fools don’t even know their own parties history, let alone this countries history.

    2. It’s like Trump starts a building fire, calls the fire department, then claims he’s a hero for calling 911 after the fire gets put out. He’s a hero only within himself!

    3. @J N Why is Antifa and the Mob trying to burn these Federal Buildings? This was going on for 50 nights before Federal Agents were deployed.

    4. @Anita Hammon Your really stupid. My dad fought the Nazi’s. But looking back, I think we fought the wrong war.

    1. @Investigative Audit There is still 1 trillion left for Relief Package. They’re is still 800 billion left for testing. And they’ve invested billions in the Vaccine. They went to work on the vaccine Jan. 5th 2020. Thank goodness they did. Operation Warp Speed.

    2. @Earl of Mar So we test well below one percent of the population. No wonder US is so highly infected.

    3. @Earl of Mar Thats great news. The testing crises is over with the exception of where ever people are infected. Its still way below adequate. I just heard that from an infectious disease Dr. yesterday. Believe what you want.

    4. @Edward Emmick I’d say it’s going well considering we had no tests to begin with. As far as testing goes right now, if you feel sick, get a test. But now, their working on the “Blow & Go”, test.

  7. In dictatorships, the people fear their government’s wrath.
    In democracies, the government fears the people’s wrath.

    1. America has never been a true democracy, when have the government ever feared the people’s wrath?

    2. @anastasia beaverhausen calm down sweetie. The adults will save you. Whether you like it or not.

  8. so why will trump send goons to cities that don’t want them, but WON”T send PPE to hospitals that NEED IT???

    1. Earl of Mar Remember though we didn’t have enough current Ppe in stick and it was old. Jared took over and started getting stuff from a few US companies but mire fr overseas and it became a bidding war nightmare. Anything Trump and Kushner touch gets fouled up.

    2. Erick Dorsey
      I was born and raised in New Mexico.
      My thoughts? In general Barr is a lackey to Putin. Trump is a lackey to Putin. McConnell is a lackey to Putin. Chao is a spy. Inhofe has zero spine.
      Voting starts in about a month and a half. Too late for Trump to be a believably caring individual 1. Trump is going down in flames and taking the US with him if he can. And, he knows it.

  9. When you do a better job at deploying Fed forces to hurt Americans as opposed to providing protection from contagious disease and saving lives, you must be held accountable.

  10. Yes. Yes. Yes. Unlike Portland, those feds will be prosecuted like any other citizen when they break local and state law.

  11. If Trump pulls the same nonsense in other cities, local police MUST join the protesters. Anything else is to condone it.

  12. Why was the Sheriff allowed to call Trump in? If he isn’t capable of working with the mayor or the state to solve the problems, he needs to go somewhere else where he can do the job. He needs to go

  13. It’s official. The GOP stands for nothing. This blows a hugely whole in their “States Rights” talking point. They only crow about States Rights when it aligns with their views. . . What is that the definitions of? Hypocrisy.

    1. The Boss And just what do you think Trump is talking over with Russia, besides working on election interference?
