Good podcast. There’s more ‘meat’ than the title suggests.

What makes them profitable is all of us using them STOP! We the majority are responsible for their success and we the majority can close them down. Trump doesnt have to do it we can

There is really no good way to handle this. As soon as Trump does anything to quell the riots, the media will go crazy, brutality stories and conspiracies about dictatorship and camps will be everywhere, and the riots will increase a lot.

It’s the insurgents’ plan for it to go this way. This isn’t the end about to happen, it’s the beginning.

President Trump can designate them as ‘nonessential’. The irony is Rich.

No on social media

No on the military, should never be used on civilians. If Republicans do this they should expect this from Democrats should our side have to protest

On a side note protest are planned in suburban areas tonight.

Screw social media for now. Bash heads and take names of the rioters. These feral animals need to understand there will be PAIN from throwing bricks and burning property. If it were up to me, I’d have some retired special forces guys out there snapping limbs and let the local cops zip-tie the crippled terrorist bastards.

Bring in the military for DC, yes. Both appropriate and necessary. Some idiots are talking about the November election and blah, blah, blah, but this is bigger than that. Our nation’s capital city must be defended and it cannot appear to be weak.

There isn’t any will. I could manage crowds better at a golf tournament then these mayors are attempting.

Make the national guard available to Governors. That’s it. No military. No shutting down Facebook or Twitter. If blue cities wish to burn that’s not his problem. Just say 24/7 your Governor can call in the guard anytime they feel the need.

No, but Twitter executives should be required to cease and desist allowing that app to be used to organize riots and looting.

Yes, agreed.

I live in a blue state near a blue city, and I will have to pay. They will take my tax money from me at the point of a gun. If I could move, I would, but I can’t.

It might work the other way. People who need emergency assistance would not be able to get through.

But in principle it’s a good idea.

Next question.

How about placing some exclusive designer bags in the picture windows of the New York Times building.

Wonder what those fake journalists would say if the looters ransacked THEIR building and started some fires.

Would they be so eager to pay bail money, then? Curious.

I find it grimly funny. Our little protest against the extended illegal shut downs in our own state was removed from Facebook and the police were out in full force when we showed up at the capital.

We peacefully showed our displeasure to the people who were breaking the law, chatted politely with the police, even the ones that were breaking the law by parking in front of the fire hydrants, were careful to make sure we left no trash behind and left quietly. None of us were arrested.

And we were "dangerous" protesters.

There is something wrong here.

It has been leaked to me that freepers will still be allowed to communicate. We will need CB’s, Ham Radio and also this website will still be up. /s <-———that means I don’t know and expect this to be a bit of a joke for those that don’t know.

Not the Constitution. The Posse Comitatus Act, passed a century later.
