You're viewing a single thread.
how is this different from what tim walz did though?
Tim Walz apologized and said it was a mistake. He learned the lesson.
so you're allowed to do it once as long as you say you're sorry afterwards? okay.
I thought it was rhetorical question, so I just added context, since the answer was obvious, but if you need it explained here you go.
Action itself is not different. Scale, logistics, and consequences are though.
- Trump doesn't have unilateral control of National Gourd. It would require consent of state governors to enact.
- National Guard was only there to maintain peace. They weren't ordered to break up a protest. But it went to shit and he took all of that on himself, learned from it and went to do good (I would love to see Trump admit he did something wrong at least once).
- He then banned chokeholds and other restraint methods.
- And he moved the case of Floyd's murder to state attorney general, so that he and other murders could be prosecuted instead of it being covered up.
If you don't see how someone learning from a mistake and moving to do better in the future is exactly something we should strive for, you are a lost cause. Because there is no perfect human being let alone perfect politician.

imagine being this naive. you must work at it.
If that's your takeaway from the comment, anything further would be pointless.
