Because they weren’t ordered to. They also weren’t torching private property night after night after night after night after night.
Interesting, protestors were torching property night after night when Trump ordered tear gas to be dropped on them for a photo op outside of the White House??
Don't think so.
On January 6th, rioters were just torching and destroying government property, and attacking police instead. So much better right?
That is Midnight's point numbnuts, the military should have been called in, if you are willing to have forces deployed for much less like holding the bible outside of a church.

During the first 3 years of his presidency, value to him was your loyalty which many found to be a one-way street. In his final year, it was ravaged by scandal, chaos & self-preservation. His insecurity overtook reality. He assaulted the rule of law & our democracy. His contempt for our allies, who he viewed as soft, negatively impacted our country's leadership role in the world. Instead, he was laughed at openly by world leaders who learned he was incompetent to deal with the problems throughout the world & most damaging, he could not be trusted while he empowered dictators. Throughout his presidency, his ignorance was displayed, his quick temper, his pettiness, his cruelty towards others including children, his absence of empathy, his sense of victimhood, his silencing of experts, his deception and lies were visible for the world to see.

He cared about his own personal interests over the needs of the country & continues to do so today. Americans eventually noticed this & kicked his ass out. He preaches that he & his supporters are victims. He branded anything negative about his as "fake news" which is supporters bought hook line & sinker. He blustered & bullied his way out of trouble & turned to "happy talk" when confronted with the virus telling the country to inject bleach into their bodies for protection. He refused to wear a mask because he thought it may make him appear "weak" when in reality he acted recklessly eventually catching the virus himself. He proved he couldn't keep the country safe including himself & members of this administration. He stoked fear & egged on violence while encouraging those who participated in the 1/6 insurrection.

You can say the same for the democrat leaders in almost every city. Why are their cities the most run down? If dems cared for the their country their cities wouldn't be literal piles of shit. They line their own pockets at the expense of the citizens and then tell the citizens it's Trumps fault. Be real, the dems tried from day 1 to get Trump out. If they actually spent time on better policies they might have actually helped their own cities out instead of trying to get Trump out. The last 4 years was the biggest joke in politics. Dems literally spent the entire time trying to control the media to bash Trump at the expense of the tax payers. You can easily argue the dems are the ones who couldn't control their own people and they were the cause of violence, they actually encouraged it and y'all got butt hurt when the tables were turned. Still butt hurt about it. You do realized 1/6 was the result of the entire year and summer months of destruction around the country on innocent lives and businesses, right?!

On New Years Eve 2019, CDC Director Robert Redfield was the first in the administration to receive an email from a small team of scientists located in the Chinese port city of Wuhan. For others who received the message, it didn't set off alarms but it raised a flag with Redfield who notified his chief of staff & requested that she gather any facts possible. As a virologist, Redfield's biggest fear tht some strain of bird flue would rear its ugly head.
On January 2nd with the information provided by this team, Redfield contacted his counterpart in China Dr. George Fu Gao who he built a personal relationship over the years. During the multiple conversations between the two, Redfield became suspicious that Gao was not being forthcoming with information & feared their conversations were being monitored. Redfield pressed Gao regarding "person to person" transmission but Gao stted they had no record of any instances. Of course he was lying. US officials would not learn the depth of the lies for weeks.

In early January Twice Impeached One Term Donnie Dum Dum was alerted to the coronavirus in his PDB's (President's Daily Brief). He was infamous for not reading these briefings or other intelligence related documents. His aides learned that in order to communicate with him they needed to show him colorful pictures. He later claimed the virus did not rise to his attention in those early days which is total bullshit & his attempt to blamed those around him.
Meanwhile his aides were getting increasing alarmed & the press started sniffing around the White House for answers. Medical experts were becoming frustrated because they could not get & keep Trump's attention about the pending crisis. He would summarily wave them away & asked "what's next" totally avoiding the conversation.
Dr. Fauci, along with Redfield, knew that China was not sharing all the information they had on the virus. Days later they learned the virus was not contained in Wuhan but had spread & spread quickly. On January 13th the first covid patient arrived in Chicago. It was a woman returning from visiting her sick father in Wuhan. Two days later a 35 year old man arrived in Seattle/Tacoma International Airport; he was returning from outside Wuhan & became the 2nd known infected person entering our country.

Congress was briefed in January as well. A month later Pelosi held a press conference in San Francisco to reassure people that the coronavirus wasn’t a threat.
It wasn't a press conference. It was just a news pick up. I was still in Cali and watched it live. People deny in happened but it definitely did.

She definitely ended up with egg on her face but I don't blame her. Nobody understood the severity of the situation back then. What people need to understand about Pelosi is she isn't in the Senate. These in the House. Her district is essentially the city of SF, which has an economy heavily reliant on tourism and heavily populated by the Chinese. The Chinese (Chinese Americans, to be clear) have a lot of power in SF. Chinatown tourism is huge. We were headed into Chinese New Year. The city needs it's lucky money too. (You guys won't get this reference) I'm not a Pelosi fan but I don't knock her for that move. Hindsight, you know? It definitely happened though. Not some big News conference. Just a 5 o'clock news pick up. A few words. I personally watched it on KTVU channel 2. I had just come from the gym and gone by mu buddy's. His ol' lady was cooking. The news was on. I remember saying, "I'm glad I don't have to go into the city this weekend." Famous last words.

Press conference — noun An interview given to journalists by a prominent person in order to make an announcement or answer questions.
That wasn't a press conference, per se. Press opportunity? Photo op? A press conference is where a prominent person addresses the press directly, usually also taking questions. She was just there. Obviously the press was tipped off to be there but that would be like calling TMZ a press conference. I guess by the loosest definition it would be but not in any traditional sense. Semantics though, and i'm not here to disagree with you. Like I said, it definitely happened. That wasn't even the first time. The one I was thinking of would've been a couple of weeks before that.

He does. And we disagree on that but show me where Tox comes off as some huge Trump guy. In which threads did all this occur because I must've missed them. His believe that Trump is anti-establishment in greatly outweighed his believe that most of government is part of the establishment. On both sides. Is he wrong about this?

It’s obvious that there was contradicting opinions about what was coming in early 2020.
Pelosi thought nothing was coming. She was briefed multiple times and has a massive amount of resources at her disposal.
Democrat.
DeBlasio also thought nothing was coming. He has a massive amount of resources at his disposal as well.
Democrat.
Actually the so called conspiracy theory crowd were the first people calling it correctly in January.
I’m fine with all of that but don’t turn around and blame Trump.
Democrats did a good job using the virus against Trump. And I tip my cap to them for that. If there was no virus Trump would have mopped the floor with Biden in the election. I don’t think Trump played the virus right politically speaking. He said what he honestly thought (as usual) instead of being politically savvy.

That poor kid Deezy jumped the gun and thought a post from Midnight was going to be accurate
I checked the link because I respect Mid, as I respect you and would check a link yoi supplied. I mentioned semantics a second ago.... Holy shit! The fact check says stuff like, "Trump said 'We should all party in Chinatown... but Pelosi never used the word party." What is factual is that she urged people to visit Chinatown and assured them it would be safe. And it probably was safe. SF, the Bay Area in general, never struggled with covid like SoCal. It still looks crunchy as fuck though in hindsight and she has to hold that L, as the kids used to say. Probably not anymore. Maybe 5 years ago.
As far as the parade comments, this is where the confusion arises. This was definitely mentioned in a different news pickup a couple weeks prior. I remember with my buddy and his old lady on the channel 2 news and saying, "I'm glad I don't have to go into the city this weekend. It's gonna be a shit show."

The semantics used by fact checkers against Trump says more about them than about Trump. Ive read so many “fact checks” like the one posted that I’ve lost all respect for all of the “fact checkers”. What journalists did during Trump’s presidency will have a severe impact on people’s perception of the media for the foreseeable future. I got the vaccine early because my parents are older but I can see why so many people don’t have any faith in the information.
The internet age has completely killed the integrity of the media. Print media is a relic. What is left of it, and certainly cable news, has had to adapt a revenue approach similar to that of the interweb that is heavily reliant on "hits". They are still more accurate and trustworthy than the whack jobs people on Facebook and Twitter people choose to trumpet, they still have fact checkers and compliance offices, but the media has gotten ugly. Matt Taibbi has a book, Hate, inc, that covers this. Good read. At the end of the day, the media is there to make money. They are selling a product to the public. One of the public's favorite products is manufactured rage. Another is fear. They play on both with the same tropes. People lap it up. Shows how sad their lives are. Glued to CNN, glued to Fox, all for that rage fix. I watch the local news at 11. All I need. "Is there a wildfire coming? Do we need to evacuate? Cool." The wife likes the evening network news at 6 or whatever. Both are pretty straight forward and relatively unbiased compared to print media and cable news.
