They are desperate to keep the whole FLynn trial going to keep the heat off the most scandal free administration in history. I mean what will happen if the press starts reporting that the last administration made up a reason to lie to the FISA courts to use the FBI/CIA apparatus to spy on American political operatives?
"So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

Yeah. Peaceful protests have gotten black Americans so much in the last 70 years. They’ve been peacefully protesting (mostly) for st least 70 years, and things are worse now than the have been in a long time. I’d say it’s time to try something different.

I’ve been to two protests this week, thank you. Likely going again tomorrow. And don’t live in any gated communities. But whatever you want to think, go ahead. Originally Posted by TexTushHogProtested or rioted? You were talking about violence in the post I was referring to.
