Ahh, remember when the GOP thought looting was just fine?

Rumsfeld: Looting is transition to freedom

U.S. forces should not be blamed for the lawlessness and looting in Baghdad as it is a natural consequence of the transition from a dictatorship to a free country, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Friday at the Pentagon.

"The task we've got ahead of us now is an awkward one ... It's untidy. And freedom's untidy. And free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here," Rumsfeld said. "And for suddenly the biggest problem in the world to be looting is really notable."

R1, apparently the GOP thought so when it benefitted them

Rumsfeld = major Republican puswart. Evil too.

It's wasn't just Rumsfeld. It was all the Republicans who continued to support the Iraq War even as it was obviously failed badly

EVERYTHING is legal when Republicans do it. Murder, looting, stealing, it’s all ok!

I don't which is the biggest dumb ass. Is it Rumsfeld or the OP? Rumsfeld's opinion ≠ the thoughts of the GOP. This type of thinking, these party politics, this "one side or the other" mindset is the very thing that is bringing America to its knees.

Then why didn’t Republicans with different thoughts from Rumsfeld tell him to shut the fuck up, r6?

And Trump begged Iranians not to shoot or be violent to their "beautiful protesters" and every Republican was jizzing themselves over the Hong Kong protests. They loved that shit.

You're making it seem as if both parties are equally responsible for the problem. One party has gone absolutely right wing bonkers--working actively to divide America, so the rich can grab our money while we're not watching.

Life now IS "one side or the other"

I forget which "side" claimed the other wasn't even a citizen and born in Kenya. Which side claimed covid was "fake news and a democrat hoax".?

by Anonymousreply 12June 4, 2020 4:39 PM

Which side has remained silent on Trump's handling of these nationwide protests?

by Anonymousreply 13June 4, 2020 4:41 PM

Which side was late for lunch an had no time to comment on Trump’s gassing of innocent protestors?
