Did you just claim rioters broke through the police line, to reach secret service?
I guess Biden should do something about it... Trump tweet from the bunker, as his staff was telling him to address the nation:
Strong words... great explanation for dismantling Obama’s police reform.These people are ANARCHISTS. Call in our National Guard NOW. The World is watching and laughing at you and Sleepy Joe. Is this what America wants? NO!!!

This was an action movie... Rioters broke through the police line... with the only thing saving Trump was... the 50... as one rioter approaches, a scream of... “this is White House!!”... could be heard for miles away. A swift kick... and the rioter flew off the White House steps, into the abyss.

We've talked about Trump's base of white nationalists being involved. And we're going to keep talking about it until it stops being true.
Hmm. So Trump tweeted "they should be shot" while cringing under the bed in his bunker like the coward he is, and now, his dog-whistle rabid fanbase are actually inciting the violence -- possibly so they have an excuse to shoot a black person. But just putting it out there -- y'all outnumbered.Minnesota officials have identified white nationalist groups operating on the ground amid the protests in Minneapolis and St. Paul over the death of George Floyd in police custody, the state's Department of Corrections said late Sunday.
Commissioner Paul Schnell told reporters at a press conference that recruiting materials in the form of posters had been located by officials in the Twin Cities, adding that his office is investigating as-yet unsubstantiated claims that Antifa-aligned groups were active in the cities as well, according to local news affiliate KTTC.
"They're agitators," Schnell said of the groups, according to CNN. A request for further comment from the Department of Corrections was not immediately returned.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) pointed to the alleged presence of the groups as a reason for his decision to extend an 8 p.m. curfew in the two cities, writing in a tweet Sunday evening: "We have reason to believe that bad actors continue to infiltrate the rightful protests of George Floyd’s murder, which is why we are extending the curfew by one day."

Oh wow, "No you".
How clever. How inventive.
Do you have any other unsourced biting comebacks? Maybe next you'll say that Trump was heroically injured fighting on the front lines to defend the WH, instead of cowering like a little bitch in his bunker with all the lights turned off?

It's okay. Trump gave a 10-minute speech he was 45 minutes late for, and he's going to punish Hong Kong for it by removing their special statuses. Stati? Statistics?
By the way, far earlier on in Trump's tenure, he set the stage for this by at least appearing open to the One China policy. It was right around the time China gave Trump a bunch of new trademarks in China, but I'm sure that's a coincidence.
Now, Trump wasn't consistent -- yeah I know, big surprise. But "maybe" isn't "no". And while he seems upset about these developments, what's he going to do? He already used the only tool he has, tariffs, because of the trade war that is so good and so easy to win that China halted soybean imports literally today.
This is where I'm supposed to take a victory lap yelling "I called it!" but come on, I predicted it would be hot in Atlanta in July with that kind of call. I saw it coming, you saw it coming, hell let's get @DocSavageFan in on this, did you see China abruptly ending Phase One because of Trump's words and actions? Oh, feel free to say it's China's fault, that's your right, I just want a yes/no did you see this as a likely result? Please, be honest. I'm sure you came to these forums to do more than go off-topic with personal attacks.Chinese government officials told major state-run agricultural companies to pause purchases of some American farm goods including soybeans as Beijing evaluates the ongoing escalation of tensions with the U.S. over Hong Kong, according to people familiar with the situation.
State-owned traders Cofco and Sinograin were ordered to suspend purchases, according to one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. Chinese buyers have also canceled an unspecified number of U.S. pork orders, one of the people said. Private companies haven’t been told to halt imports, according to one of the people.
The halt is the latest sign that the hard won phase-one trade deal between the world’s two biggest economies is in jeopardy. While Chinese Premier Li Keqiang last month reiterated a pledge to implement the agreement that was inked in January, tensions have continued to escalate since then amid a standoff over Beijing’s move to tighten its grip on Hong Kong.
