Trump is only doing nothing if this is a kinetic operation …
So people actually losing their businesses and property to arson and looting, getting assaulted and even getting killed by the rioters is “information operation” and not “kinetic”. Got it. Just collateral damage.

For my part, I cannot presume what the president’s plans are, but there are very real victims right now and there should not be more.

Seattle & Washington voted for their leaders. It’s time they suffered the consequences.

I have said from the beginning of these riots that there is absolutely no upside for President Trump if you have U.S. troops on the streets of American cities maintaining order. Every COVID death from this point forward would suddenly become a case of “tear gas poisoning.”

Yes, there are real victims out there ... but they’re not victims of anyone but those who are causing the harm, and those who are responsible for stopping it. And the President ain’t the one responsible for stopping it.

Agree.

It sure doesn't seem like "Trump Is Winning It" to me.

I guess we have 3-D chess all over again. Perhaps we could add some "BOOMS!" and "TICK TOCKS!" into the mix.

And someone should tell him that a leader should never, ever make threats that you do not act upon.

I guess the guy who was forced to defend himself with a firearm after being attacked by a mob, and who is now facing criminal charges, should take solace in the fact that some "non-kinetic" actions are being taken.....somewhere.

I’m no legal expert but...can’t these people sue their local government for lack of support. I mean your taxes pay for at the very least, minimal protection of life and liberty, I mean they pay property taxes. Simply setting CHAZ adrift is malfeasance on the part of their government. Sue them.

“For my part, I cannot presume what the president’s plans are, but there are very real victims right now and there should not be more.”

The people who are being victimized are largely in jurisdictions that voted overwhelmingly for their own destruction. It’s hard for me to feel any sympathy for the residents of Seattle.

It’s not like they were lied to by the people they elected. They were told right to their faces what was coming.

So now they’re getting it.

Good and hard.

You're SOOOOOOOOO right.
The mayors and governors in cities and States where such things are happening should do something to stop such things from happening!

Don't you agree?

There are real victims, but the whole thing has entered the real of hyperbole courtesy of the media.

And the preponderance of the victims are also perpetrators — this is a self-inflicted injury for leftists.

How many of these people congratulated themselves for electing woke leftists? How many keep voting for Democrats even as their cities are becoming cesspools of violence, crime, and moral turbidity?

Even conservatives caught up in all this chose to park themselves and their businesses in modern day Sodom. I wouldn’t let you give me real estate in one of these liberal enclaves.

One move that the Feds could make is to have the DOJ sue the governor and mayor for violating the civil rights of their residents by allowing them too be terrorized by the Antifa thugs.

But Schlichter’s basic premise is correct, IMHO. These riots and looting and “occupations” are not spontaneous. They’re organized, planned, and at least coordinated with the Dem election machine. They would love to get Trump to over-react, get their video and in their twisted minds, wave the bloody shirt until November.
