    1. @Stephen M truth I’m not a Trump follower or Biden follower. To me I think the media divided this country my opinion. I do think Trump needs to go not for the fact that everyone wants him out cause he doesn’t know how to run this country he did have minor bright spots and I think the democrats are going to run this country not Biden.

    2. Stephen M I would hope no one is hungry in America today. I mean I know it happens but mostly parents are to blame. And even though you may feel like the rich get to keep all their money and don’t do enough you don’t realize how much they really help your community. I’m certain your quality of life and lifestyle is far better than mine because of the rich. They help your communities in ways you probably don’t realize. Come to the Arkansas delta where billionaires don’t exist and you’ll see what I mean.

    3. I’m not a Trump fan, but I’m still trying to figure WTF people are doing out protesting AT NIGHT? You know people are getting mugged left & right in Portland right now b/c the police are occupied with these “protesters” setting fires & throwing rocks at windows… I never watch Fox, hate it, it’s propaganda, but rn CNN is becoming a kind of propaganda too–there are people terrified of going out at night b/c the protesters can get violent. There are videos of it all over the place, just look around.

    1. @alessandro quarta Wow that is a comment with absolutely no credibility! Hitler was a United States Democrat?

    2. “Roger Griffin describes fascism as “a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultranationalism”.[32] Griffin describes the ideology as having three core components: “(i) the rebirth myth, (ii) populist ultra-nationalism, and (iii) the myth of decadence”.[33] In Griffin’s view, Fascism is “a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti-conservative nationalism” built on a complex range of theoretical and cultural influences. He distinguishes an inter-war period in which it manifested itself in elite-led but populist “armed party” politics opposing socialism and liberalism and promising radical politics to rescue the nation from decadence.”

    3. @Trumpy the people of Democrat run cities (Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Baltimore, D.C., Portland, Seattle) aren’t free. They’re being held hostage by “protesters” aka the Loot Riot&Murder Movement of the left. Businesses can’t operate, crime is up (400% in NYC). You’re so low IQ you don’t even know who is actually harming America.

    4. If this was fascism, people would be dead or missing, these people are burning down their city and destorying federal property. They’re not being murdered, just sprayed with nonlethal tear gas and pepper bullets.

      Indeed China is in many respects a fascist state.
      Indeed the US is in many respects a fascist state.

      Not mutually exclusive.

    1. You’ll know all about USSA if sleepy gets in. You know nothing. Does your mom know you’re posting on youtube?

    1. @K Black poke a finger at our vet and he’d fall over, we took the family dog into him yesterday with an abscess and he fainted. Where’s your practice and we will give you a bit of business.

    2. @Teri Johnson oh a military vet, well if he ever starts a practice when he leaves the military he will have my family pets and my cousin has a small holding.

    3. @K Black I’m a DAV and I might have gone down but I definitely would have gotten back up fighting. Never quit and never give in.

      For those who don’t know what DAV means, it is for Disabled Veteran.

      From one Veteran to another: RESPECT

    1. @100perdido thank goodness he turned around before getting torched like a charcoal briquette.

    2. @King of America That could be a problem for a guy like you. Instead of being a big fat orange guy he would be a dried up old Black man who looked like a prune. You would have trouble following a leader who is not only Black but looks like Maxine Waters.

    1. Libtard logic:
      “oh look… adrenaline fuled riot police in the middle of a riot… I should go share my feelings with them, has they yell at me to go home so they can stop a RIOT….”

      Who knows.. maybe this idiot will want to talk about racial discrimination in the middle of a shootout next time.

    2. @Gregg Arsenault why don’t you morons spend 5 minutes doing some research outside of cnn.
      53 days of riots.
      Only footage you idiots get shown was in this one segment.

  1. 🤔 Trump supporters are helping to curate the tyrannical government they think they’re fighting against

    1. @A PR Really? Gaining knowledge is not proof of a conspiracy. Advice changed because more masks were available and doctors learned more about how to protect people. The only conspiracy is believing chump, who’s dad paid a Dr. to lie about bone spurs so he could avoid going to Vietnam 5 times, is a patriot. Or that going bankrupt 6 times makes him a good businessman.

    2. It’s the old saying of nazi Germany, “first they came for them, I stood silent. Knce they came for me, there was no one left to speak up for me.”

    3. cj p what about boogaloo and leaked federal memos basically laughing off the impotence of the protests while fully acknowledging a surge in right wing extremist violence?

  2. I support what he did and shame on those who disrespected him and his service, I support my military brother.

    1. Anyone that stands with an active insurgency(52 days in a row) against the Federal Government is BY DEFINITION an insurgent and is a traitor to their nation. FYI standing with and supporting violent rioters that are rebelling against the rule of law means you’re not standing for law, order and justice. “Against all enemies foreign and domestic” is the oath we took when we enlisted. Standing with violent, riotous, insurgents(textbook definition) in Seattle and Portland, regardless of your background, makes you no different than the Confederates of 1861. Lincoln had to teach you boys that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is the ultimate law of the land when he sent in “Federals” to restore the law of the land. When local politicians in Seattle and Portland rebel against the rule of law and order, the FEDS must act or the rebellion will spread. How does it feel knowing you’re no different than Johnny Reb, traitors to your nation?

    2. @Ronnie Jackson That’s the same sentiment Southern Dems had towards Abe Lincoln, Sherman, Grant and their Federal Troops. You’re in great company, Johnny Reb. Seems like woke Dems of today forget the lessons Lincoln, Grant and Sherman taught them. The Federal Government is the ultimate law of the land. Law and order must prevail.

    3. @ST7A Bad Karma I served my country proudly and I know they are breaking there oath to the people of this country.

    4. As Navy veteran I think he got what he was looking for, trouble. They told him to leave, pushed him away and for some dumbass reason he stood there until they whacked him a few times. That isn’t a time to try and have an intelligent discussion. Besides what I read is he worked for the Navy not in it.

    5. @Ronnie Jackson god you are morons. Who was rioting in the streets for 53 days before the feds pulled up. Who burning stores down you idiots.
      Trump isn’t even using lockdown orders because he believes in choice.

    1. @Major Minor but the state has to call for it.not use an old law from civil rights movement or when they went against Indians in 1802.

    2. @jonathan beatty trump signed and executive order to use the insurgent act from the 1950s and 1802..last time it was use 1992 when state asked for help by bush.

    3. @Robin Lennon >>>>but the state has to call for it.<<< You're completely ignorant of the law and willful self deceiving. SMH.

    1. It would have been better to have national guard.they ate trained to help and veterans..this is so nuts..the police was having protests where they where trying to break into court and or police stations I believe but not this man.

    1. 53 days or riots you massive idiot.
      Who wants to take guns away. Who wants to control speech with hate speech laws. The projection from you idiots is beyond cringe. I bet not one of you losers has Seen the looting damage vids in Portland from a month ago..

  3. I wonder what that guy with the club thinks of himself when he goes back and sees himself beating on an old war veteran. I hope he feels shame.

    1. Why is this old veteran standing there . It’s chaotic how can the federal military tells who is who.!

    2. Only an idiot wants to walk up and talk politics to fed police in the middle of a riot. The order was to go home so they stop giving cover to the rioters.. You know the 53 days of vandalism cnn wont show you idiots.

    3. @KAL he could have been anyone, isn’t that the point? what he was doing did not deserve that response regardless of who he was. do you need to be told that? do you really fucking need to be told that?

    4. @cj p It was a man whose seen real war walking up peacefully trying to calm the situation in his home town in his home country. I am taking “the politics” out of it, and when I do I see a man with a club beating on an older man who’s clearly not a threat. If it was a veteran beating an older federal officer with a club unprovoked I would have the exact same reaction.. the guy should be ashamed.

    5. @KAL he just standing, its a free country and it his right! even if he is not a veteran you cant beat him! He has a right to protest! AND HE WAS WEARING A NAVY SWEATSHIRT FOR GOD SAKE!

    1. jammerman28
      the mocking bird marxist muppet media and the democrat party supports the soros funded mob.

  4. Military lockdown coming to a “Democratic” city near you whether you want them or not.
    Can we panic yet?

  5. Never thought I would consider federal agents storm troopers and jackbooted thugs. They’re loyal to Trump not the country or The Constitution.

  6. “Official intelligence?” As if!! Its NOT Official when Putin puts bounties on Soldiers but, its “official” when Trump sends the Militia???

    1. Hearsay with no documents and unnamed sources you loser.

      Guess what beta… In 2010 Iran put bounties on troops in Afghanistan and Obama did nothing..

    1. Eric Cartman 👈. Yes and we also have a leader that does not buckle down to the Democrats bullshit as well.

    2. ron greene 👈. You really don’t know because you ONLY looked for ways to slam President Trump while his promises he kept slid by you. That’s what hate does to a person.

    3. @Mike Hall and when did I say something about President Trump I just asked a simple question what years was America great?
      It’s a simple question

  7. He needs to get attorney and sue Barr and Trup* personally, along with every “officer” present at his beating for a cool $1B each. How many will plea “I was only following orders”?

    1. You people are morons. Countless videos of antifa trashing stores, starting fires, blocking traffic with debris in the roads, you can see all the vandalism. I’ve seen the Portland video…
      But oddly this one and the unmarked cops are the ONLY videos they show you ignorant betas.

    2. cj p – wow – you saw videos too! Good for you. You are not here in Portland – you don’t have first hand knowledge- so STFU. We Oregonians want those goons outta here!

    3. How can he ID them? This vet may be screwed outta his chance to sue because they hid their names.
