Having failed to defeat Trump in the 2016 election, failed to destroy him with the Russia-collusion hoax, failed with impeachment, failed with multiple other attacks and now hoping that crushing the economy to deal with a cold virus, it seems the Democrats have decided to throw the kitchen sink in as well by aiding and abetting riots and looting across the USA and then accusing the President of extreme militaristic reactions.
Fortunately it turns out the Trump’s mouthing off about sending Federal troops into Democrat cities – those places where systemic racism exists after decades of Democrat rule – was enough to scare Democrat Governors and mayors into actually doing something, rather than just telling their police forces to back off.
However, were he to do so it would not be without precedent.
In 1957 the state of Arkansas refused to honor a federal court order to integrate their public school system stemming from the Brown decision. Eisenhower demanded that Arkansas governor Orval Faubus obey the court order. When Faubus balked, the president placed the Arkansas National Guard under federal control and sent in the 101st Airborne Division. They escorted and protected nine black students’ entry to Little Rock Central High School, an all-white public school, marking the first time since the Reconstruction Era the federal government had used federal troops in the South to enforce the U. S. Constitution. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote to Eisenhower to thank him for his actions, writing “The overwhelming majority of southerners, Negro and white, stand firmly behind your resolute action to restore law and order in Little Rock”.
President Kennedy reluctantly called in reinforcements in the middle of the night under the command of Brigadier General Charles Billingslea, Commanding general of the United States Army’s 2nd Infantry Division. He ordered in U.S. Army military police from the 503rd, 716th, and 720th Military Police Battalions—which had previously been readied for deployment under cover of the nuclear war Exercise Spade Fork—the 2nd Battle Group, 2nd Infantry Division, the 31st Helicopter Company, and the federalized Mississippi National Guard.
In Detroit in 1967, Governor George Romney sent in 7,400 national guard troops to quell fire bombings, looting, and attacks on businesses and on police. Johnson finally sent in federal troops with tanks and machine guns. Detroit continued to burn for three more days until finally 43 were dead, 2,250 were injured, 4,000 were arrested; property damage ranged into the hundreds of millions.
On the fourth day, 3,500 federal troops — 2,000 soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division from Fort Ord and 1,500 Marines of the 1st Marine Division from Camp Pendleton — arrived to reinforce the National Guardsmen already in the city. The Marine Corps contingent included the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, commanded by John F. Kelly. It was the first significant military occupation of Los Angeles by federal troops since the 1894 Pullman Strike,[96] and also the first federal military intervention in an American city to quell a civil disorder since the 1968 King assassination riots.
Sadly, even if Federal troops were sent in, it wouldn’t end systemic racism in places like NYC, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Chicago and so forth.
To do that people will have to overthrow the Democrat rule of such cities where they have been basically a one-party state for decades. I guess Democrat voters actually like systemic racism, which is at least consistent with their party’s history since it was created.
No Minister 
To do that people will have to overthrow the Democrat rule of such cities…It would take one motherfucker of a lot of gerrymandering and voter suppression for that to happen. Still, the Republicans have demonstrated they're up for it, so who knows?
Tom … there is systemic racism in the United States … it's always been there. But Trump's OTT rhetoric in relation to the mayhem that followed the shooting of GF only served to increase the racial divide and stoke up tensions. Yep, you can look at the economy and job creation under his administration and give that a tick but that has to be balanced by his very mercurial nature and, for me, the ordering in of regular troops to help maintain law and order when all he needed to do was to federalise the National Guard was the sort of overreaction which makes him unfit for office. Yes, it's been done before but that doesn't make it right. Might be the norm in China but America is/should be much better than that.There is a huge swathe of voters out there who have lost faith in the political system. Not sure that Trump now speaks for them and Joe Biden certainly doesn't and never did. This does not bode well for America.
Tomas is happy to watch the destruction of America, is cheering on Trump's coup. Tomas cannot conceive of creation, only destruction.Today’s video of Tomas’ “American Friend”.Note the shiny whiteness of this cowardly thug. A grown man beating up on a child, a child with far more compassion and courage that Tomas could ever find within himself.
Democrats – damned if the do, damned if they don't on Planet Tomas.Buffalo City has a Dem Mayor.Two Buffalo cops crash a 75 year old man to the ground and walk on, leaving him bleeding and in pain.Two Buffalo cops are then suspended and charged with assault. Suspended before they could escalate their crimes to murder, charged so they can be held accountable for their unlawful action.Has Tomas offered any praise for Mayor Byron Brown? Nah, that would destroy his favored narrative. But 57 pals of Tomas resigned from Buffalo's crowd control unit on Friday. Stepped down because they are angry they cannot bash old men at will.
Words that Tomas lives by:We'll get the hemp ropes out, loop them over a tall limb and hang all of them.It's not calling for the lynchings of Americans. These are socialist-communists we're talking about. A violent organization? Well, they didn't kill but a few people. The Klan wasn't violent until they needed to be.Goodloe Sutton, publisher of the Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Alabama.
Tom’s gaslighting in an attempt to frame the narrative. His hero, the only president in history to have bipartisan support for his removal from office, had goons gassed and beat up peaceful protesters in order for him to stage an embarrassing photo op. Then he blustered while local politicians restored order with a minimum of fuss. Then yesterday he did an dance in the end zone over a dead cat bounce in the job market, and declared George Floyd to be happily looking upon said job market. All through this, the Trump virus claimed another 5,000 American lives through his incompetent handling of it. So much winning. The greatest POTUS ever, Tommy, or just the greatest of your lifetime?
The banality of evil. Just look at the photo.
Snowflake, don't forget Ronnie Raygun is also one of Tomas's heroes. Here is a man who pissed all over the 1st, who worked his ass off to deny work to people whose political views did not align with his, who worked hand in glove with one of the greatest assaults on liberty and democracy in this nation. And all that long before he became one of our worst Presidents.
Anne,Specify what Ronald Reagan did that was \”one of the greatest assaults on liberty and democracy\” in the US. Because I don't recall anything like that.Anyway, you tipped into the space of being an extreme left partisan when you said President Reagan was one of the worst Presidents. I doubt that many Americans would agree with you on that.
Specify what Ronald Reagan did that was \”one of the greatest assaults on liberty and democracy\” in the US.Easy. Maybe you missed the bit about how he did it before becoming POTUS.Reagan was a supporter of The Blacklisting pf people for their political views. During his tenure as President of the Screen Actor's Guild he aided in the implementation of the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act, along with his then wife he provided the FBI with a list of \”Communist sympathizers\” in Hollywood, in full knowledge that this blacklisting would deny work to those he named..As Governor of California, he impinged upon the right of American citizens to freely assemble and protest. He sent the police in to \”quell\” a demonstration at Berkeley, resulting in the death of one protester and the blinding of another.He was a strong supporter of capital punishment.As POTUS he tried to enforce Christian prayer in Public Schools, he vetoed the Civil Rights Restoration Act (although Congress overturned the veto), he undermined civil government in Pakistan and Afghanistan, he launched an invasion of Grenada because its people dared elect a government he did not like, he was Trumpian in his slowness to take action against the growing AIDS epidemic, and he withdrew the US from the International Court of Justice.
Anyway, you tipped into the space of being an extreme left partisan when you said President Reagan was one of the worst Presidents. I doubt that many Americans would agree with you on that.A lot of Americans think Trump is the second coming of god. Doesn't make them right.A lot of British would have disagreed with me about Oswald Moseley, but that didn't make them right.No matter how vile a position, there will always be some who support it.
VThe Veteran said…Tom … there is systemic racism in the United States … it's always been there.No!Deserving of an article all it's own but a brief response here is that this is just the latest Left-wing wheeze in the face of fifty years of failure of their social welfare, positive hiring discrimination and other polices to significantly improve the lot of inner-city Blacks. It's also election year and the Democrats clearly feel they need more than just Trump himself to win. They need 95% of the Black vote or they're dead in this years election, so it race-hustling time again.
Tomas is right, again.It wasn't racism that herded the First Nations People of Turtle Island in to concentration camps, it was Christian compassion.It wasn't racism that forced Blacks to work as slaves, it was the application of \”Right to Work Laws.It wasn't racism that enacted Jim Crow laws, it was fear of being out competed for the prettier women.It wasn't racism that led to the violent suppression of the Water Protectors at Standing Rock, it was the Capitalist imperative to make sure everyone was covered by the same tar sands.KKK members aren't racists, they just like dressing up in costumes and re-enacting their history, preferably with live props.Tomas' denial of American racism shows the contempt he has for his fellow man.Strange Fruit.
Anne, please don't get him started. He'll just churn out another 100 gazillion words of cut 'n' paste to show how woke he is with Reich Wing ideology.
It really is an utterly ludicrous assertion that the US is not systemically racist. But as previously noted, Tommy lived in middle class white Chicago for 20 minutes 20 years ago, so has a background steeped in US history and culture. Like Stephen Miller only white.
Of course Tomas doesn't see racism.No one ever called him \”Nigger\”. No one ever denied him service at a lunch counter, to enroll at the school of his choice, to live in a nice neighborhood. Not once, not ever.Tomas is the least racist person he knows.
And there it is. In the face of current failure all the likes of Anne Tiffa can do is list the racist wrongs of the past as if they were never fixed.\”Systemic Racism\” is a weasly term fuly hooked up with similar things like White Privilege, Intersectionality and a host of other sins dreamt up in Left-wing academia and increasingly given play as graduates move into careers. Weasly for two reasons to do with it being nebulous.First, with the sort of racism that existed in the past – with racist cops like Bull Connor (fully paid-up member of the Democrat National Committee at the time), racist politicians and the like enforcing racist laws or refusing to enforce laws and policies designed to combat racism – you could fix it by starting at the political end and working down through the systems to weed out both the racists and racist policy. That worked. If you argue that it didn't work – and lots of Lefties are now arguing that – then there is no solution beyond the age-old Marxist dream of \”overthrowing the whole system\”., Which of course is what the Anarchists, Lenninist and other members of the Far Left like Anne Tiffa have always wanted. It's also why they're happy about the arson and looting: \”Burn it all down\”The second reason it's weasly is that it can be weaponised by the Left to avoid questions about their failed policies of the past, present – and future, by simply wielding it to put opponents on the defense, as The Vet is experiencing on the other thread at the hands of Anne Tiffa. When you oppose the usual dingbat solutions of the Left the response is that one is defending \”System Racism\”: it's the \”Hoarders and Wreckers\” of the 21st century Left.@VetThe above is why you should reject the term completely. It's not designed to explain or accomplish anything useful: a debate-framing exercise that the Right can never win except by completely agreeing with the Left on this and other issues.The good news is that being so easily weaponised the Left are turning it on themselves. Aside from the insanity of Cancel Culture they're also doing it in places like Minneapolis where the Democrats – very Left Democrats – have dominated for years. But what choice do they have? Blame Republicans or the Right in general?The latest example is that two of the cops involved in Floyds killing were graduates of the University of Minnesota, the Department of Sociology no less, which is causing much angst.Perhaps the Department should be burned down since there's nothing else to do about a place the obviously harbours systemic racism.
No one ever called him \”Nigger\”. I've been called \”My Nigga\”, but it seemed a term of approval in the 1990's.
And there it is. In the face of current failure all the likes of Anne Tiffa can do is list the racist wrongs of the past as if they were never fixed.I guess that's true if you shut your eyes, or if you are cow shit ignorant.The KKK still exists, and is gathering strength anew.As far as I know, there are still around 200 cases pending against the Water Protectors of Standing Rock.First Nations People of Turtle Island are still in concentration camps, denied many of their rights, like the right to vote, that other citizens enjoy.Racism is alive and well here, but you just sit back in your cow paddocks and laugh at people who are prepared to do the hard, dirty work of overturning the system and building a newer, better one, with Liberty and Justice for all.
Aside from the insanity of Cancel Culture …Because Nazis, racists and fascists must be given a platform. We \”no platformed\” the racist Barbie and she has just about flamed out, her 5 minutes over. Milo has been reduced to a yammering parody of Piers Morgan.Cancel culture works.
Anne Tiffa @ 7:21pm – \”Cancel culture works.\”Anne Tiffa @ 7:21pm – \”Reagan was a supporter of The Blacklisting pf people for their political views..The Anne Tiffa's of the world don't have any objection to blacklisting, racism or any other \”ism\” or any of the things they regularly scream about in high dudgeon. They just want to apply them to their political enemies.As I've said before, they hate the Okhrana, but love the Cheka.
No, Reagan supported the blacklisting campaign against people for a political view, not for harm they were causing.Fascists cause real, lasting harm and mus be called out and cancelled.The 1st Amendment protects people from the government. It was breaching the 1st that Reagan facilitated. Not just an attack on people's political views, but on their Constitutional Rights.Denying a venue to Lauren Southern, Milo Yiannopopulos, or Richard Spencer is not in the same league of comparison. Knocking over a speaker's podium is, itself, an act of free speech.
Voter suppression, incarceration rates, home ownership, unemployment, average net worth, incomes, life expectancy, crime victims? Nothing to see her eh Tommy? All got sorted with the emancipation proclamation.And again with the grunting and dribbling about the likes of Bull Connor being a Democrat. Democrats and Republicans swapped places at around the time that old rooter Strom Thurmond did. The Republicans decided at the time there were votes to be had with the good ol’ boys, and have been at the forefront in promoting and facilitating institutionalised racism ever since. The fact that you won’t admit facts before your eyes for ideological reasons would be sad if it weren’t so comical. This obviously has you worked up, so let yourself go and impart the wisdom of you 20 minute residence in suburban Chicago…
Fascists cause real, lasting harm and mus be called out and cancelled.Communists causes real, lasting harm too. In fact they've actually killed far more people since the end of WWII than Fascists have, basically because 1945 saw the end of Fascist states.And yet you're permitted to endlessly spew your hateful nonsense and lies here. Something you would never reciprocate had you the power.
basically because 1945 saw the end of Fascist states.Turkey, Brazil, The Philippines, USA, give the lie to that statement. Golden Dawn in Greece, National Front in France, UKIP in UK, all are working hard to bring fascism back.
Communists causes real, lasting harm too.What \”real and lasting harm\” was being caused by communist sympathizers in Hollywood? Why was that sufficient to deny them their 1st Amendment Rights?
Clap…clap…clap.Redefine such places as Fascist to keep the boogeyman alive and justify your existence, goals and methods. I should have added that as it was entirely predictable.I'd like to say that you're insane but rationality does exist even inside insane asylums like yours.Of course by that definition there must have been any number of Fascists amidst those Roman Catholics and other Christians that marched with against the draft with you. But your ideology has form on that front too.
I know I'm wasting my time engaging with you Snowflake but…… make an argument as to exactly what steps should be taken to eliminate this systemic racism and you won't be deleted. You want to keep up that line of personal attack then you will be.Oh – and try and make the argument longer than your usual Twitter-sized soundbites.
Come on Tomas, it was a simple question, even your crayon level IQ should have been able to answer.What \”real and lasting harm\” was being caused by communist sympathizers in Hollywood? Why was that sufficient to deny them their 1st Amendment Rights?And I don't need to \”redefine fascism\” to know a fascist when I see one.
make an argument as to exactly what steps should be taken to eliminate this systemic racism and you won't be deleted.For the new Civilized North:1. Dissolve the United States, and create two new nations, one built on justice, liberty and equality, and the other full of racist, Confederate flag waving, Mumma's boys.2. Dissolve the police forces, and create new, state based police forces with a stronger command structure.3. Ensure that the new Police Forces are never again militarized.4. Dissolve the FBI, CIA, NSA, BAFT, the military. Create a single, unified national police force to deal with cross border crime. Create a Militia as envisaged under 2A. Convert the Pentagon into housing for the homeless.5. Eliminate the Electoral College and elect the President by popular vote.6. Eliminate The Senate.7. Remove the Monarchical style powers from POTUS, make the Joint Chiefs the military commanders.8. Make the House elected on the same cycle as the President, eliminate mid-terms.9. Rewrite tax laws to ensure corporations pay their fair share of tax. Eliminate state sales taxes, and replace with a nation wide GST style consumption tax.10. Prohibit the addition of \”riders\” to Bills.I could go on, but even Moses had to stop at 10. 🙂
Tomas meets a girl.
Leo Frank. Hung by the mob in 1915. He was accused of murdering and raping an employee, Mary Phagan, whom worked in his pencil factory in 1913. He was convicted. Yet he was dragged out of custody by a mob of angry rioters and hung on a lightpole. The rioters were angry because he was pardoned. The Mayor had been bought off by the ADL, who sought to protect Leo the strangler. The unruly mob cuts both ways. The violence and psyops behind these riots is self defeating. The fetish left will be set back 100 years.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make, and I doubt you do either. But I do detect a nasty tone of anti-Jewish sentiment in your post. Just one more fascist to punch, I guess.Leo Frank was not pardoned, his death sentence was commuted to life.And sheep are hung, people are hanged. (Unless you're John Holmes. He WAS hung).
