How Democrats became the law-and-order party
Washington Compost ^ | July 20, 2020 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 07/22/2020 7:11:41 PM PDT by EdnaMode

President Trump has taken to tweeting “LAW & ORDER!” — no doubt a reflection of his aides’ advice that law and order has been a strong card for Republicans (although they might have imagined some messaging less hysterical than “LAW & ORDER!”). Trump bangs that drum loudly, insisting that a radical mob is roaming the country, coming not just for statues but also for your house and children. It is an issue that he certainly wants to highlight, but for a number of reasons, he very likely is helping Democrats to claim the issue of public order and domestic tranquility.

The Post-ABC News poll finds: Biden has a 20-point advantage on who is more trusted to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, a 25-point advantage on race relations and a nine-point advantage on crime and safety.

[snip]

Most important, Trump personally does not embody law and order. Among the most chaotic presidents and the most contemptuous of courts, he makes clear that his objective is not calm but accretion of power, untrammeled power. (“I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want.”) His rants do not convey someone able to exert calm and order; he cannot even control himself. As a matter of policy, he seeks to destroy democratic institutions, bend the military to his political ends and “dominate” the streets. He associates with and frees from punishment convicted felons. This is not the calm, cool and collected protector of tranquility, but rather an instigator who foments conflict and encourages violence.

I would have checked to see if it was.

I can’t believe that someone is serious about that.

Democrats the "law-and-order" party?

Accusing others of exactly what you are and what you do, only works temporarily, because, people will eventually figure it out, even if it takes them a long time. It’s why socialism and communism and dictatorships only last short periods of time. Fascists always point the fascist finger in the other direction, in attempts to hide their true nature and intentions.

This is definitely their strategy though. They cause chaos and try to blame it on Trump.

Ya, neither do I.

Dang.

Deranged Jenn is living in an alternate reality.

I still fondly remember when Bill O'Reilly beat her with her own lips on live TeeVee.

It is just a tad frightening, when you consider that there are a good number of people out there who get all their information from the likes of the Washington Post.

And they just ingest it unthinkingly.

Yes, the democrats believe the law is whatever they order it to be.

Turns out that right not the law is riots.

The law is that you cannot call them riots but “peaceful protests.”

The law is that you cannot defend yourself against them or you will face prosecution.

That is what they have ordered.

Talking Points delivered.

Trump runs on law-and-order, the Lunatic Left immediately claims he’s causing the lawlessness and disorder


Biden is talking tough on China and running on infrastructure, too. The Dems intend to ape much of the MAGA agenda and figure Fake News will run top cover for them.

The Dems are unified and on talking points. The GOP and Trump are not. The Dems accuse Trump of being the leader of the Gestapo. And where is his party to defend him against such charges and support a federal response to domestic terrorism? The GOP are nowhere to be found when not outright undermining him. Cory Garnder is silent as antfi assaults Michelle Malkin and his constituents in Denver. Rand Paul parrots Dem talking points on “militarized police.” With GOP like that who needs Democrats?

That is Biblical. It is in the Old Testament and goes along the lines of:"When the Righteous rule, the people rejoice. When the evil reign, the people mourn." The People prefer mourning over rejoicing. I deliberately omitted using the term because Americans have become a minority in their own Country.

Not very convincing b.s. Does anyone actually believe this?

Where is the puke warning.

Anything by Jennifer Rubin should automatically include “puke”.
