What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Admiral Yi]

I see NYT has that McConnell reportedly is happy Dems pursuing impeachment as will be easier to boot Trump from the party.

I didn't realize booting someone from the party was even a thing in the US.

Sorry the word was purge, as it getting rid of his malign influence.

[The Brain]

Well with impeachment they can blame Trump's fall on an evil Democrat conspiracy.

He does lose a lot of leverage if he can't run again.

What were they hoping to accomplish with this Europe trip I wonder?
Any bridges to sabotage or hoping to get Luxembourgs OK on the coup or...?

It turns out that the US police is more than twice as likely to attempt to break up and disperse a left leaning protest than a right leaning one. And when they do break it up, they're more likely (51% vs 34%) to use force.

That also seems to match what left and right wing protesters themselves believe, that the police support the right.

Nicely highlighting how BLM helps everyone.
Well.
Except racist white trash far right nutters.

Roughly 90 minute video showing events as they transpired on Capitol. Minimal editorial comment. The footage probably speaks for itself.

I read that amid the general deployment of US military and National Guard for the inauguration that they're also doing background checks on personnel for domestic terrorist sympathies.

That's not SOP?

Before Trump dismantled the FBI unit in charge of domestic terrorism, the FBI would have investigated this automatically, I guess, and tipped off the relevant authorities in the US military or National Guard.

the data is incomplete, we do not know if violence from police was justified or not.  Last summer, in BLM protests in Washington, it certainly wasn't justified.  But if you look at many other protests by BLM, the police intervened only when violence was elevated a notch by the protesters.  Throwing bricks and stones at police officers is not free speech.

Generally speaking, right-wing protests are fairly peaceful, so long as Antifa does not show up to attack everyone in sight. Even in Unite the Right, a large part of the protest by the far right morons - ah, sorry, the very fine people - was peaceful, despite its obvious intent to intimidate Blacks, Jews and other non Whites.  It turned messy only once the left wingers started attacking them, and they got what they wanted: a show of force as they were prepared for this.  These guys thrive on violence.

You obviously didn't read the content of the link.

The differences in intervention weren't because BLM protests were particularly violent. ACLED found that 93 percent of the protests associated with BLM were entirely peaceful. "Even if we were to put those [7] percent of demonstrations aside and look purely at peaceful [BLM protests], we are seeing a more heavy handed response [compared with right-wing protests]," Kishi said.

The real enemy is always the left.

The real enemy is always the left.

At least that's how the GOP and the alt-right serving media portray it. And it seems to be working on a non-trivial part of the population.

The real enemy is always the left.

The left is always so sinister.
