Come on NBC, Trump and Barr are inflaming the protests Seriously Not the people burning, looting, hurting and killing people? Not the media who criticize the police and never tell the real story of how bad the protests are? Educated Americans know who is really to blame.

Everyone would’ve said predecessor preventing fence-scaling justified. Showed considerable restraint, allowing Bowser cheap pandering stunt defacing area in front of white house (& now DeBlasio copying), like this versus substantive action changes people’s lives.

35 million Americans they didn't get their money as expected this month, and surely that's one of the causes of the violence, and Trump as usual tells the lies and it's a scam, and it's a crime against citizens who should be in a containment because there's a virus

Who isn't surprised?

Everyone loves the DC mayor when she painted black lives matter and changed a street name to “Black Lives Matter”. But if you ask about the literacy rate amongst AA in DC public schools and the failure of liberal policies and the negative impact on the community ....

DefundBarr too

If you are more upset at President realDonaldTrump walking to St. John’s church, than at the rioters who set it on fire, you are part of the problem!

When is Barr due for his disinfectant injection?

We need to establish civilian oversight committees in every local district in the country and community policing. Local communities should be able to decide who is policing them and have a say in holding police accountable when they do something wrong.

If you’ve had to spend more than 3 days defending your actions.. something might be wrong with your actions.
