Here's a "Senior Legal Adviser" to Trump saying that one of the officiants at George H.W. Bush's funeral, a Bishop whose church Trump violently confiscated for a photo op, is "a pawn of the leftist media that thrives on destruction of all that is moral and just." pic.twitter.com/OdmgIFDeyT

Let's see. The curfew was set for 7pm. They came out and told everyone they needed to move. No one moved. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. In case you haven't noticed, domestic terrorists have hijacked the legitimate, peaceful protest, causing harm, destruction, and anarchy in the streets of America. Any true, god-loving person, would understand the necessity to abandon the streets (at least temporarily) to allow the authorities the ability to clear these anarchist, who are viciously attacking your fellow Americans, businesses, community housing developments, etc...sounds to me as though you are the one grandstanding and allowing the rioters to operate by your failure to evacuate the area. Go cry your river to ANTIFA!

I think Trump's stunt was worthy of condemnation on it's merit alone, but some cannot stop at that. They have to blame him for Police using dispersing measures to disperse a crowd that is breaking an ordinance.

Now that I read the curfew order, since the DC curfew exempts essential workers, which includes healthcare workers (who were among those providing aid), were they actually violating curfew? Did the curfew actually give LE the authority to run clergy members from their own church grounds, essentially confiscating the property?

You know, the more honest I get the worse my expressions get, so forgive me and just tell me bluntly. What did you feel about those whole scenes and the Trump speech and all. Because I felt a shiver, I have to say. When he told governors that he can handle their problem very quickly? When he claimed to have invoked the right to send the military whereever he deems right? Wasn't that a bit spooky to you too, that whole scene and hearing the bangs in the background? I'm really just curious, I won't engage in any critisizm or follow-ups, I really just want to know that.
