I think the question is only how bad will the violence be,
Yes, you have a few Alpha Hotels on the Left...some of the more extreme Anfifa types, who seem prone to violence, but the right will be by far the worse offenders.
And that is a danger:One extreme always encourages the other extreme.

Absolutely. I don't see a peaceful way out of this mess.

It's hard to make sense out of Trump on the best of days. When he's going off script it's even harder.

Who can forget this beauty:



“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

I'm in the middle Joe Biden's eulogy of John McCain. Damn it's personal. Got me choked up. I'll watch the 2nd half a little later.

I hope got his point about how tribalism..on both sides.....is destroying this country.
Biden was great, but I also thought Larry Fitzgerald was very eloquent.He is going to have lots of opportunities when he retires from the NFL.
The idea of a bagpiper was good...paying respects to McCain Scottish heritage...but ,well, to be kind, that piper could have been better, A lot better.
And for the Arizonians here, I presume that song sung is the Arizona state song?
Yesterday's service was for the people of Arizona to pay their respects; tomorrow service at the National Cathedrial is for the whole country.

I love that McCain chose "My Way" as one of the songs to play at his own funeral. I bet The PDJT was planning on that for himself but now he can't use it.

The whole service was well done..except for that Bagpiper. He meant well, but I suspect he is causing a lot of laughter in Scotland.
 
Would you care to elaborate? It's hard determining what your position is if one has to play twenty questions on each point.
 
Even George W Bush had a dig at Trumpski in his eulogy for John McCain. "John could never stand bigots and swaggering despots".

*Recalls 2000 primary*

I think he was selective or very forgiving over time. Given that Kissinger is also at the funeral, I'm leaning towards the latter.

No I would not care to elaborate. It was a flippant remark responding to a flippant remark. Some members appear to have taken serious umbrage, but that doesn't oblige me to take their concerns any more seriously than I took the original exchange.
