The president calls for the governor of Michigan to negotiate with a bunch of heavily armed people who stormed the Capitol and screamed at officers yesterday

The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.

1. Trump, "These are very good people."

No they are not. They are right wing racist idiots who support Trump.

Trump, "These are very good people." Isn't this what Trump said about his neo nazi
racist skin head supporters @ Charlottesville, VA.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. Yep.

Fuck that shit! There ‘s no compromise or cooperation with those kinds of people!

[gratuitous]

2. Why don't you negotiate with them, Donald?

You're the president, aren't you? Why don't you sit down and have a little chat with these yammering dolts you've released on the country?

[demmiblue]

4. Trump is ultimately a whimp.

This tweet made me laugh:

3. Was willing to bet every cent to my name that he would go "VERY FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES",

and of course, he didn't let me down.

5. She should dare Trump to invite them to Mar a Lago, guns n all. n/t

6. These People Need To Be Told To Disarm And Disperse

And be shot if they do not.

These insurrectionists need to be put to the test of whether they shoot at an officer of the law, or obey the lawful commands of an officer of the law. Their pretense they are law-abiding patriots of heroic mien must be stripped from them, revealing they are outlaws or cowards.

7. Same kind of person

8. Does anybody know what their demands and issues are?

I think they are actually really pissed off at their failing “God Emperor” and are channeling that anger toward their other enemy, law and order.

Feel bad for their womenfolk and offspring, having to contend with weapon toting ogres lurking around the house.

Stay away from me
American Zombie mama let me be
Don't come pound on the statehouse door

Don't want to see your virus eyes
Out their spreading your nasty lies

10. Why are a bunch of angry, screaming, heavily-armed protesters allowed inside the state capitol?

WTF is going on here? If a bunch of heavily-armed Black Lives Matter protesters tried this, they'd be machine-gunned by the National Guard. Imagine if these were heavily-armed muslims protesting Trump's travel ban. I am sick of the double standard when it comes to these white, rightwing militia assholes with their AR-15s.

23. +1000

Same!

11. please don't give in to the spoiled children!

Any good parent knows that !!

35. +1

[intheflow]

12. Q: Do you think that man is yelling, "Blue lives matter!" at those State cops?

A: No.

Q: Do you think unarmed Black people staging a sit-in chanting, "Blacks lives matter!" would have been allowed to stay in the building, or have the president ask the governor to work with them?

A: No.

13. Children of the Trump. Life's losers.

14. Arrest them and ask questions later.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Trump. Making White America great again.

[Dem2]

16. Douche president is looking for attention

/ignore him

[malaise]

17. When he does the same at 1600 n/t

[colsohlibgal]

18. Brain Damaged Losers

The are harassing and waving around weapons of war not only at the Office but the home of Governor Whitmer.

Twitler has unleashed these sub humans.

All enabled by the Electoral College and Senatorial inequity......as in Wyoming getting two Senators just like California, New York, etc.

[dmr]

19. As a Michigander, I say: Bullshit!

Those people don't represent the citizens of Michigan.

Those people are opportunists who found a way to dress up to play militia out in public surrounded by camera crews. They are egged on by controlling rich people who are seeking more power for themselves.

The controlling rich have found a very dangerous way to belittle, demean and intimidate our Democratic governor.

I support Governor Whitmer. Everyone I know here in Michigan supports her decision - including those that voted for Schuette.

Trump should just shut the fuck up.

[COLGATE4]

21. I think it was Vanderbilt (or one of the other Robber Barons)

who said that you could easily pay 1/2 of the american people to kill the other 1/2.

[roamer65]

30. Real citizens of MI are respecting her orders.

They are social distancing and staying at home.

You are right, they are a fringe extremist cult.

[Blues Heron]

20. The zombies are having another spit-in

[Takket]

22. Estimate was 400-700 protestors yesterday

Michigan has 10 million people.

She should let less than 0.01% of the population dictate policy??? WTF???

Drumpf is the president. If he is so concerned for these people why doesn’t HE meet with them and issue executive orders to address their concerns.

[dlk]

24. I'm surprised there aren't rules about bringing firearms into the capitol

Something to consider...

[beachbumbob]

25. Imagine if instead of angry armed whites it was a group of angry armed Blacks, trump say the same?

Would the Whitmers's response been the same? Just asking

[Crunchy Frog]

26. Don't negotiate with terrorists. n/t

[BComplex]

27. Then trump needs to negotiate with a bunch of really good people who are heavily armed,wearing masks

and yelling at people in the room, who WANT FUCKING PPE FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS!

[central scrutinizer]

28. "The governor should give a little and put out the fire"

Said the arsonist

[Efilroft Sul]

41. Good call on the arsonist, central scrutinizer.

I also think there's no way in hell a womanizer like Trump would've used phrases like "give a little" and "put out" in the same sentence with a male governor. He thinks he's some kind of BMOC stud.

[NCjack]

29. Maybe the slaughter house employees should arm themselves and invade the CEOs'

offices for some negotiations. Trump invited.

[AllaN01Bear]

31. +++++ i was going to say ,, that if blacks or dems did it . wed be dead by now .

at photo , always yelling.

[cutroot]

32. Yet Trump does not allow guns at his rallies

[ScubaSteve]

33. They are The American Taliban

Knuckle dragging fucks...charge them and the pResident with Sedition.

[madinmaryland]

34. She should send in armed services recruiters and those cowards we be gone in a flash. nt

36. Good one! Very true. nt

38. PERFECT!!

37. Anyone Remember Bastogne 1944?

"Nuts"

[BobTheSubgenius]

40. Oddly, I'm watching a 13-part WW2 documentary, and the Battle Of The Bulge was last night's offering

[BobTheSubgenius]

39. What happened to "The United States does not negotiate with terrorists?"

Also...how is it that The Tangerine Taint knows what fine people they are? I see only two possibilities:

- He or some cohort(s) have had contact with them, and perhaps even nudged them along.

- He just reflexively backs loons of this stripe. He has in the past.

Neither thing seems like a good trait in one's Chief Executive...but what do I know?

[AwakeAtLast]

42. More Rapist Speak

"Give a little"

Those are not random words directed at a woman.
