Can't say I blame Trudeau. Trump would have no issue coming after Canada. He'll pretty much do anything to change the channel at this point. What a disaster.

Will say, again. US needs a THIRD POLITICAL PARTY....
The two can fool people but when 3, it is little more difficult to cut a deal.

There are more than 2, but the system is dominated by just two of them. Right wing, and really right wing.
So sad this situation is...but there's got to be some solution. For how long this idiocy will continue ?
It's always the commoners, we the people, pay the price. Elites are bloody manipulative and don't care much.
If US authorities had taken action at right time, situation today would have been so different.
Protesters are quite reasonable and looking for legitimate attention/empathy. Their demands are justified.
Protesters responded positively in some places where police sheriffs HEARD them and showed support for them.
Use of force will multiply the mess.

Props to those White people who showed solidarity with Blacks and also got injured while protesting....Decency it is.
Americans better revamp their Police if they want to avoid shit show like that.
I fear White SUPREMACISTS have penetrated LEAs in US.
Mr. Trump is known for getting carried away....Don't know how Americans are going to cope up with this.
This all actually bows down to leadership crisis in US.

So true.

The way Mr. Trudeau has managed to keep Canada away from disaster in South, is commendable from international POV. He keeps all factions INTACT in community relations and what asset his this capability is proving to be for Canadians. Quite good number of Americans must be in awe of Mr. Trudeau.
Heck dare I say, Canadians manage/keep the reputation of White people around the world quite good

I've learned from videos on my twitter feed that American police officers and Canadian police officers are different. Very different.
I've personally delivered ~120 .50 caliber rifles to several Canadian law enforcement organizations.
They didn't buy them to go bear hunting.

Oh sure, nothing helps manage/keep the reputation of white people around the world like going out in black face. Multiple times I might add.

And the Catholic hierarchy wonders why so many Catholics are leaving their left-aligned organization that only somewhat resembles a religion these days.

I think that has more to do with this current generation's increasing lack of religious belief and the Catholic Church's penchant for protecting pedophile priests and not children.

Those who dealt out the most cruelty to so many others for so very long have lost the right to complain when the beast finally shows up at their door. Shiver in the fear that you have so richly deserved.

This is what a wannabe generalissimo pig does:
$1:
The rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Georgetown, Gini Gerbasi, recounted in a Facebook post Monday night the moments that led up to the presidential publicity stunt:
The police in their riot gear were literally walking onto the St. John’s, Lafayette Square patio with these metal shields, pushing people off the patio and driving them back. People were running at us as the police advanced toward us from the other side of the patio. … We were literally DRIVEN OFF of the St. John’s, Lafayette Square patio with tear gas and concussion grenades and police in full riot gear. We were pushed back 20 feet, and then eventually—with SO MANY concussion grenades—back to K street. By the time I got back to my car, around 7, I was getting texts from people saying that Trump was outside of St. John’s, Lafayette Square. I literally COULD NOT believe it. WE WERE DRIVEN OFF OF THE PATIO AT ST. JOHN’S—a place of peace and respite and medical care throughout the day—SO THAT MAN COULD HAVE A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH!!! PEOPLE WERE HURT SO THAT HE COULD POSE IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH WITH A BIBLE! HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO STEP OVER THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES WE LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE WE WERE BEING TEAR GASSED!!!!
I am deeply shaken. I did not see any protestors throw anything until the tear gas and concussion grenades started, and then it was mostly water bottles. I am shaken, not so much by the taste of tear gas and the bit of a cough I still have, but by the fact that that show of force was for a PHOTO OPPORTUNITY. The patio of St. John’s, Lafayette square had been HOLY GROUND today. A place of respite and laughter and water and granola bars and fruit snacks. But that man turned it into a BATTLE GROUND first, and a cheap political stunt second.

Tell me again how this hurricane of pure rage isn't justified.
And Trump isn't a man. He's a soulless bastard.
