“Equal justice under the law must mean every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, color, gender or creed. They have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement.”
The president then appeared to veer from his prepared remarks, saying, “We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, ‘This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.’ This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everbody. This is a great day for everybody. This a great, great day in terms of equality.”

The words of this truly evil, manipulative and callous man to a wash of poorly educated people who lap up his utter crap should be spread far and wide around the world and we should urge our governments to speak out loudly against this racist, ignorant man. People may have thought is presidency funny or somewhat amusing but he has gone too time and again and now he crosses a line.

This deliberate ignorance and nastiness is used to provoke us further, so he can send in the army within his country and urge more incidents of prejudice here in the U.K.

I feel for the woman, I really do. Imagine being saddled with that excuse for a human being.

@Swiftsseason

My problem is, what changed under Obama?

He had a long time in office, obviously not long enough to deeply change much but the new legislation that's being drawn up regarding police back ground etc.... Why wasn't that achieved under Obama, why wasn't it deep extended police training achieved under Obama

I'm just wondering why this comes back to trumps door and what can be done with a different regime in charge. If Obama couldn't achieve anything who can?

Obama was stymied by the Republican majority in Congress, according to my US-dwelling friends. But then they're Democrats.

He is an actual cunt.

No, he isn't. And for all the useful eejits who are going to say "oH bUt 1n $cOtL@nD tH3y c@Ll Ev3r0N3 @ cUnT!" - no, we don't. The fact that racism exists isn't a free pass for your misogyny.

When you listen to this sort of thing from him it's sometimes hard to believe that you're actually hearing what your brain is telling you you're hearing.

He has no filter, no sense of what it's not appropriate to say. His thoughts and his mouth seem to be completely out of control.

No normal person would even think this sort of thought, let alone give voice to the words.

There is something seriously amiss with him.

And then after his unbelievably crass remarks about George Floyd he then goes on to praise himself for having done more for equality than any other american president.

I am an atheist & a pacifist, but I pray that someone will assassinate him - justifiable homicide.

I'm afraid I've often thought exactly that.

Radio 4 mentioned the George looking down thing after he had made remarks about the unemployment figures/economic stuff. Did he say it straight after the equal justice bit then ? Not that it makes much difference, still such a crass and insensitive thing to say.

@handbagsatdawn33 @ilovesooty it's crossed my mind too, but I'd rather it didn't happen -not only because I don't wish anyone dead- but because he would be martyred by his idiot supporters and "Trumpism" would continue. Better that someone FINALLY films him saying something utterly vile about his supporter base in a way that is undeniably real and not fakes. Or doing something that is undeniably impeachable.

Trump just gets worse and worse. I absolutely loathe him. My jaw dropped open when I heard him speak, and then to say that about his leadership, was unbelievable. I thought someone would’ve assassinated him by now.

Ah yes.

Remember the first rule of misogyny? Whatever men do, women are responsible.

Well whatever Trump does, Obama is responsible.

Americans are good at killing their decent presidents and leaders so why can’t someone of them sort the sick fuck out! Although I suppose the ones who usually shoot are the same ones who support him so we just have to hope his wife will give him a stroke sometime soon, she could drown him in the bath, push him downstairs or get an air bubble in his veins.
I do feel very sorry for his teenage son, having that bastard for a father must be difficult.

She could leave him. The fact that she so clearly hates him and yet doesn't means she is just as much a fucking arsehole as the man himself.
