  1. He is signaling to the evangelics: “Look i am dominating them… dont you just love it when i stick it to THEM ?

    1. @Kees Hessels As a former Trump supporter I can confirm that they never like admitting there wrong

  2. The “Grand Old Party” should be renamed DCP, “Disgraceful Cowardly Party.” Where is Republican outrage? I hear nothing but crickets.

    1. leminity splckits .Your degree of stupidity is boundless, bet your shoe size is bigger than your IQ.

    2. @Rich Kotarba Are you getting money from George Soros? Stupid liberal troll, why don’t you go back to your country?

    3. GOP = Geriatric Ole Perverts. Think they changed their name in 2016, could have been earlier though.

    4. @leminity splckits So… rioters who destroy stores = bad? Responding by gassing and attacking people using the 1st Amendment rights = good? That’s what those innocent people get, own the libs by committing war crimes, Trump, his base is all about it! The fact you’re okay with innocent people being hurt just because they don’t share your views, mirrors a lot of what’s going on in this situation. You won’t realize it though, and you’ll probably blindly vote for someone who stomped on your 1st amendment rights, too. I’d say it’s funny that you’re that dumb, but at this point it’s reaching dangerous levels.

    1. Ryan Christy Wrong.. it was the Democrats that cost your friend life. Get your facts straight.

    2. @Xerdar36 What do you know about my friend? You weren’t there when he called me from his death bed having his final talk about resenting Trump. You don’t have to live with the fact that he died because he listened to the president. How would YOU feel if the president you voted for put someone you care about in harms way?

    3. @Xerdar36 In April my friend read Trump’s tweets about encouraging protests against the stay at home orders in Michigan and he went to protest. Later on he caught Covid 19 from one of the protests because he told me he didn’t wear a mask and was close to other protestors. I had to spend our final conversation on my phone listening to him resent Trump and made me promise to not vote for him again.

    4. Context …. prove your point… your friend died because he listened to the president, I call baloney. your friends first name.. you’re just making up a story…

      Ryan. Harms way you say… Really. if he was defending his country and he died and what he believed in.. I would honor your friend and support his president. If your friend gave up his life for the president you should feel honored. But I guess we’ll never know since you didn’t State his or her name.

      Sounds like you’re suffering from TDS…. I still stand by my statement it was probably the Democrats that cost your friends life…

    5. @Xerdar36 His name was Isaac and you expext me to honor a president that put hundreds of his own supporters at risk of catching Covid 19? Do you really think Trump cares about his dead supporters? You don’t know what its like to admire someone then realize that person doesn’t care about you and tosses you aside like a broken tool.

  3. “We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.”
    — Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist and Nobel laureate

    “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
    — Anne Frank, German diarist (while hiding in Holland)

    1. @E.M. Chantal Gatore
      Welcome.
      General Mattis (Ret.) has joined Malala and Anne in voicing support for human rights.

  4. The shortest cop in the group was the one thumping the camera guy with the shield? Little person with a big shield hiding behind others…

    1. Yeah, big man huh attacking an unarmed unsuspecting journalist while the little creep had back up. That little creep should be fired!

    2. @judy weeks trust me he’s gotten a promotion just for that .. only way that getting fired is if trump uses him as a scapegoat

  5. He has only ever represented his own interests.
    He doesn’t deserve another day in office.

    *_I’d be calling on Congress for his ousting!_*

    1. The Republican Senators are Ttump minions.
      Donald Ttump: US dicTraitor.

    2. @Yank ee I voted for him once back in 2016 and believed he would save America. That belief cost me my friend’s life I’m not making that mistake again

    3. @Yank ee Yep, that’s the year he’ll be in jail. Probably right after Biden takes office.

  6. I hope they find out who the police officer’s were who attack the Australian reporter’s. That was disgusting on all levels.

    1. Really hope we find out who ordered all that to happen. Once we find him, we should probably put him in jail for a pretty long period of time. Possibly life. Looks a lot like a war crime to me to say he’ll dominate the battle space, then gas everyone for a photo.

    1. Apparently tear gassed for a photo opportunity 🤮 then give it in the name of jesus blah blah, nice!

    2. Several Clergy were tear-gassed. Then Ttrump waived their Holy Book in front of their faces.
      Ttrump: US DicTrator.

    3. He makes mockery of church , bible and Humanity.
      I have no other word to describe him apart from “Devil ”
      And i wouldn’t change my mind even if they pay me to do so .
      I have seen enough with is behaviour which make me come to my conclusion that is only aim is distruction
      And Evil towards most of Humanity and other countries and Race .
      Everyone is entitled to his and her opinions my opinion is that he his Lucifer in a human body.

    4. The pastor at the church was teargased and she had to run away from the oncoming line of police along with thousands of other peaceful protesters.
      It’s hard to believe that it’s happening in the US by a US PRESIDENT who wants the general public to vote him into office a second time.

  7. Insanity has overcome this man’s ability to cope with our constitution. Are their any sane medical people near him? Test him and treat him. For America.

    1. Exactly! I mean how bizarre does he have to act before someone stands up and gets him sectioned to a mental home, the guy is ill and he is flushing your country down the toilet.

    2. Remember, he never became president because he wanted to uphold the Constitution. He may have never even thought about it if it didn’t keep coming up (to his bafflement). He became president because that seemed like a good hustle for his real estate interests, and he figured he’d be good at it because he was a star on TV.

    1. @Michael Andersson Maybe you go a little further and just shut up letting us deal with our own problems. I’m sure, Europe has none (sarc)

    2. @sol rayz yes.
      Let’s stop the further erosion are checks and balances that did hold people accountable for their actions without respect of person

    3. @sol rayz
      I agree the checks and balances our way off-kilter I respect you for saying so

    4. Michael Andersson thanks for not disappointing and your welcome for the free world you live in.I noticed you left out your country of origin that is the utopia you describe. Americans are sick and tired of politicians who tippytoe around every new group in order to be politically correct. People have confused political correctness with what is correct. Democrats in this country promise everything to everybody, only to get an office . Their policies have completely destroyed this country making promises they can’t keep and another thing Americans could care less what the rest of the world thinks.

  8. And they wonder why people hate the police, they take on the role of God and hide behind a uniform to display power and dominance

    1. If you play stupid games with police you get stupid results.
      How hard is that to understand?
      The innocent rock thrower who was peacefully protesting now is going to jail. ?

    2. @TexasrepoJoe D But there are some times in D.C where they gassed PEACEFUL protester for a Trump Photo-op

    3. Kristy Hodgson their role is to dominate but their should be a fine line with what that entails exactly…..

  9. When Hitler recruited his Brownshirts in the 1920s to, among other things, harass voters at polling stations, as the GOP has plans to do in November, many of the members were ex-cops.

  10. That man has never read a Bible in his life. Just ask the Two Corinthians. God help us all!

    1. Be grateful he hasn’t. He would just go to the Old Testament genocidal sections where the Israelites killed other tribes as they marched through the desert to their “Promised Land” which was already fully populated at the time. Trump would see this as the path to empire.

    2. The only real surprise was the did not erupt into spontaneous combustion at his very touch. The Donald is far closer to “the anti-Christ”, than a Christian. The fact Donald ordered his photo op should not not shock anyone.

    1. So it’s the President’s fault the peaceful protestors and partnered reporters are getting torchered

    2. @Juan-Carlos François Why yes, he blames Obama and anyone else for everything, so in a world of “what goes around around comes around” why not blame him…………:-) Wait a minute, my fault, he is the only man in the history of mankind that is BLAMELESS…… Saint Donald my bad

    3. Ah because they’re not understanding the threat they’re under from their Medusa of a President. His base gets a monthly subscription to the 128 count box of Crayola, what do you expect?

    4. @Xerdar36
      Something tells me that your idea of Palm Sunday is having a box of tissues and a suitable lubricant at the ready while the rest of your family is at church.

  11. Charges should be brought on the officer. The people of Australia, we owe an apology to you.

    1. Thanks Jo, but most of us will just settle for a vote against this orange turkey come November.

    2. USA got obama as president and why suddenly just because of 1 policeman whole USA is burning..just because elections are coming ..these kind of tactics are prevalent in Underdeveloped nation by funding of huge nations.same happenning with USA.now the whole world will go with RUSSIA or CHINA .as with this protest HEGEMONY of USA is on road.Hope you people could understand how better is trump against CHINESE modern colonisation
