The left's righteous rage
The modern democrat party has been dominated by the American left. The old leadership has been forced to step back as people like Bernie Sanders, AOC and most recently the racist Jasmine Crockett have taken the spotlight. The latter, most notably made a very concerning statement in support of the "Tesla takedown" movement at a virtual Tesla Takedown rally, where she said: "On March 29, it's my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down." Across the country leftists are destroying Tesla cars, torching dealerships and Tesla charging stations, doxing Tesla dealers and in some cases intimidating the drivers of Tesla cars.
An antifa mob attacked a Conservative display at the University of California-Davis as campus police passively watched. We all can see the violence on college campuses. We will never forget the violence of the 2020 riots which left over 2 dozen people dead and very few were ever punished for. Maybe that is what gave the left such a license for violence. The left is angry, and many have become increasingly violent. Democrats have been mostly silent. All we have is the DOJ and we can only hope that the violent thugs will be held accountable.
In the news:
The Supreme Court said that the Trump administration could continue to use the Wartime Powers Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, for now. The justices said that the migrants’ lawyers had filed their lawsuit in the wrong court. The SCOTUS also paused a lower court ruling that had required the U.S. to bring back what the leftwing media keeps calling "a Maryland resident" whom it had mistakenly deported.
The Department of Homeland Security is reviewing grants to ensure that cities and states are complying with the Trump Administration's priorities on immigration and diversity.
The U.S. has revoked visas from nearly 150 international students in the past few days.
The U.S. and Iran are expected to hold talks Saturday to negotiate over a possible deal to limit Iran's nuclear program. The alternative is military action.
Speaker Mike Johnson effectively quashed a bipartisan proposal to let new parents in congress vote remotely. It is after all unconstitutional.
Indonesia and other countries are lining up Tuesday at the negotiating table in hopes of striking deals with the Trump administration over the sweeping reciprocal tariffs announced recently. The European Union announced that it is ready to negotiate a “zero-for-zero” tariff deal with the United States.

Good morning and welcome to the news.
Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko of Japan visited the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific yesterday, and paid respects to our fallen.
The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was a major battle in the war in the Pacific during WWII. The United States Marines paid dearly for it. Unique among Pacific War battles involving amphibious island landings, total American casualties exceeded those of the Japanese. It is regarded by some as the Marines finest hour.
Alec Baldwin was watching the old Ken Burns Civil War documentary. After watching it Baldwin declared that the U.S. is in a pre-civil war era under the Trump administration. Was it the Biden administration? or the return to normalcy?
Baldwin's an idiot. Just another leftist asshat circus clown that should be in jail for killing the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
A narcissistic idiot.
He did get off fairly easy in what some might have called manslaughter.
A majority of leftists think assassination of trump is at least somewhat justified. Their embrace of political violence is progressing rapidly
I may have published it yesterday, but I'm glad you brought it up:
A disturbing new report reveals that violent political rhetoric online, including calls for the murder of public figures like President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, is being increasingly normalized, particularly on the left.
The report, from Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), found that a growing number of people are willing to justify and even applaud killing in the name of politics and a warped sense of social justice. The chilling change appears to have accelerated in recent months.
New bombshell study reveals 'assassination culture' spreading on the left under President Trump
Just like Jan. 6th.... Oh wait.
Not quite. In 2020 rioters were allowed to riot endlessly.
They murdered two dozen people, did millions in damage and few were ever punished.
Taking pause is the right thing to do. Especially since they aren't even remotely comparable. One was a protest, the other was an assassination attempts.
[✘]
Anger against Trump is clearly justified, but violence is entirely wrong. The focus should be on peaceful protests, helping remove Trump sycophants from office when special votes arise, and in particular the Ds need to get their act together for the midterms.
In the meantime, as long as Trump supporters continue to blindly support Trump, our nation (and the planet) will continue to deal with the fallout from the bad decisions of this loose cannon.
When are those supposed to start? And you can't honestly expect people to overlook the lefts violence?
It seems many of them have normalized violence against anything the don't agree with. Maybe they are hoping they can make others feel the same.
Little do they realize that they are setting a precedent. That precedent will more than likely not work out favorably for them.
Read what I wrote. If you cannot see that I am against violence (and that means the violence in question) then you need to work harder to understand what people write.
[✘]
And they will deny it the whole time it becomes more evident
The more the hate for Trump brews the more likely the violence will escalate for anything Trump related. Those that share the Trump hate all the time are also at fault for this escalation since the folks that are violent feel they have support from the Trump haters.
Yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel became the first world leader to speak to Trump in person since the president issued his tariffs. Netanyahu reiterated that Israel would eliminate trade barriers against the United States. Trump thanked him but oddly promised nothing in return.
Rand Paul's has a proposal requiring the president to get congressional approval for new tariffs. It is going nowhere, but it may give Republicans in congress some cover before the midterm election. There is no telling how the tariffs will affect the economy in the short term.
That's not going to stop some from pontificating their nonsense.
No one has ever attempted what Trump is attempting to do the way he is attempting to do. While it may very well blow up in his face and even effect the midterms proclaiming it a disaster at this point is disingenuous IMO.
The only thing that I'm proclaiming will happen is all the vitriol from the normal people. It's been the same thing from the same people since 2015. That's not going to change any time soon.
It should since Trump is out of control with his tariffs. Congress (because of the GOPTRUMP) has abdicated its responsibility to serve as a check on the Executive branch.
Of course the effect of these tariffs is known. If they continue, the USA consumers will pay more for goods. Both foreign (due to the tariffs directly) and domestic (due to domestic producers having a competitive price gap that allows them to raise prices). This leads to other consequences such as a reduced GDP, more unemployment, business failures, etc. These are less predictable but what is absolutely clear is that consumers will be paying more for goods.
There is no mystery here.
The Democratic Congress under Carter delegated the power to set tariffs to the Presidency.
No Congress did not grant a PotUS absolute power ... removing their ability to check it.
I did not argue that Trump could not legally impose tariffs ... clearly he can do so because he can always claim that he is fighting unfair trade practices / emergency and thus meet the legal language.
I stated that Congress has abdicated its responsibility because it has, as of yet, not acted to curtail Trump's irresponsible tariffs.
You may want to do some research:
That is not absolute power.
e's using the power Congress delegated. Just because he's not using that power as you prefer, it doesn't mean Congress abdicated it's responsibility. It doesn't have the "responsibility" to govern as progressives want them to.
This is yet another example of Democrats giving power to the Presidency and then acting shocked when a President uses the power in a way they don't like. Blindsided yet again by the totally foreseeable consequences of their own actions.
It means that I believe Congress has abdicated its responsibility. Obviously. What is it with conservatives whining about people opining? As if every comment has to be an indisputable fact determined by a governing authority.
It is my opinion, easily justified ... have done so repeatedly in this forum, that the tariffs are irresponsible and Congress has not lifted a finger to deal with this.
I am not nor have ever been a D.
it does give the POTUS a position to implement tariffs with out congressional approval.
That is NOT absolute power. You are not stating anything that I did not already state.
It does give the POTUS a position to implement tariffs with out congressional approval.
No shit Jeremy. Read what I wrote!
The power is not ABSOLUTE.
That means Congress can still can step in.
You mean the ones who lost their jobs in the manufacturing sector?
What is the point of replying if you are going to just pen a non sequitur?
Labor-based manufacturing is not going to come back to the USA. You would be wise to disabuse yourself of that hope. Our national strategy should be based on reality, not a quaint notion of decades past.
All USA consumers (not just those who lost their manufacturing jobs) will pay more for goods.
Oh? So, everyone is going to college to work in technology?
You seem to be ok with a few globalist elites destroying our middle class. I am not. I am all in on the counter revolution.
Again you come up with a reply that is a non sequitur.
There are plenty of jobs that do not involve a college education. For example, firefighters, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, sales staff, drivers, law enforcement, food industry, administrative jobs, ... But, that said, we as a nation will be facing a job dilemma due to technology. And that includes jobs that require a college degree.
The fact that labor-based manufacturing is not coming back to the USA does not mean that everyone now goes to college. I made no such argument and not even implied it. What prompts you to come up with such nonsense?
Another non sequitur. Where do I write anything about favoring globalist elites or destroying the middle class. You need to get a grip here Vic. Your comments are making no sense.
It could be the tone and frequency of your commentary on the subject.
I have never written anything like that. Not even remotely close. Since I do not hold that position I certainly would not write about it.
Don't invent positions for others; instead read what we write. And if you are unsure, as a question.
Some of us can read between the lines. You seem to favor what they do, and your opinion that none of what is happening could turn out differently than the doom and gloom set forth by the anti-Trump crowd. I choose the glass half full. Some seem to have glasses, yet is nothing in there.
You clearly are demonstrating that you cannot read between the lines with respect to my posts and that in fact you invent positions for me that are entirely wrong. It is actually amazing to me that you could even pen this crap.
Wishful thinking in spite of cold hard facts. Trusting in Trump is massive mistake and with all that we have seen you should know better.
Your opinion aside, I'm Sorry, TiG, but we can all read between the lines. You are betting on doom and gloom, it seems. Some of us will retain the "wait and see" attitude and refuse to participate in yet more 'but Trump" automatic doom.
We are in uncharted waters. It seems prudent to take a wait and see attitude instead of the sky is falling attitude some have taken since Jan 20th. Looking at things daily is a waste of time IMO. Now if Trump decides not to actually negotiate with the folks coming to the table I will begin to question why. That is probably within the next couple weeks, I can wait that long.
Not betting, but using past and present evidence to draw a logical conclusion.
I actually want the trade ideas Trump says he wants to succeed, but using a chainsaw for surgery has never worked well for the patient. There are better ways to accomplish those ideas without blowing up our economy. Trump ran on lowering costs right away, but now he's doing things that will raise costs. How long are we supposed to wait?
Betting?? Yet again you clearly have no understanding of my position. There is no bet, Trump has already damaged international relationships for the long term, crashed the market (it can recover partly but it will not just snap back to the way it was before he started this tariff insanity. So there is no bet, this is reality. I am hoping that he gets sufficient pressure from Musk, et. al. to stop but as long as people like you support him with this utterly naive "wait and see" nonsense you, et. al. will embolden Trump.
If Trump continues, he will clearly make things much worse. And if you do not understand why I suggest you get educated real quick. Rather than just trust Trump (a lying sack of shit con man who bankrupted casinos, and other businesses) maybe read and understand what intelligent economists are saying.
The DOW is 37,822, the S&P is 5,014 . Looks like you are going to keep 'waiting' no matter what happens.
Do you spend any time whatsoever considering Trump's actions? Did you even try to make sense of the tariff rates he has chosen and the nations to which they apply?
This is one (of many) example of the ill-conceived 'plan' of Trump: Imposing a tariff on Australia where we have a trade surplus.
Trump is engaging in world trade 'negotiations' like a real-estate junkyard dog transaction. And the result thus far are trade wars. And even if we are able to get deals done and stop this insanity, our trading partners are no longer looking at the USA as a trusted partner because we have proven that we will elect an irresponsible loose-cannon to the presidency and they have seen first-hand the damage that such an individual can do.
But sure ... just sit back and think happy thoughts ... believe that Trump is a genius in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (for decades).
As can a lot of people.........saves heartburn, stroke, and just plain misery.
Conjecture.
Yes, after all it has been 4 days.
Thanks, I will. Alot better than worrying and being miserable all the time.
Everyone has their own threshold of what wait and see means. You will always get opinions as to when you wait too long or when you don't wait long enough.
Dealing with reality is far better than naive wishful thinking. Rational minds deal with the facts and act to make the best of a bad situation. In this case, that means preserving cash and fighting back with criticism and protest of this demonstrably stupid tariff policy.
It should be obvious that hiding from reality and putting faith in a con-man is foolish.
Here is a thought, would you ‘wait and see’ if a D PotUS was doing what Trump is doing? Ask yourself why your position would be different.
Correct, that is why I am doing it.
That is why I have a diversified portfolio
Knock yourself out, and I will do what I want which doesn't include wasting my time
I would be doing the same exact thing. Would you be doing the same exact thing if it were anyone but Trump? Ask yourself why your position would be different
Absolute bullshit that you would take a Pollyanish 'let's just give him time' if this were a D. You cut Biden zero slack for four years and now you claim that if Biden or any other D was doing this that you would argue that we should just give him time? B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T. How can you even think of making such a claim given your comment history?
Absolutely! I have clearly stated my reasons for why I object to Trump's tariffs; and they are based on global economic facts, not on who is PotUS. If you pay any attention whatsoever, I have not argued that the tariffs are bad because Trump is an idiot and a con-man. I have argued that they are bad because they damage international relationships, impose a consumption tax which basically triggers inflation when Trump was supposed to do the opposite, create a trade war, and will (if it continues) result in shit earnings reports, more carnage and could easily put us into a recession.
I have argued based on reasons that have nothing to do with who is president.
Nope, but thanks for your opinion
Absolutely bullshit
If you say so.
Dow is up over 2000. Maybe wait and see is not such a bad idea after all.
So Trump tanks the market because of his tariffs, then backs off on most of them because foreign investors (in particular Japan) were dumping bonds. In response the market (which dropped because of Trump's tariffs) reversed its direction due largely to people a) covering shorts and b) scrambling to rebuy after dumping stocks.
And you think this is some sort of success? A partial recovery after Trump stupidly caused the market to drop is a good result??
So, at this juncture, Trump has accomplished what exactly? Spell out the positives of his moves and let's see if you are honest enough to acknowledge the substantial negatives.
Nice rant. My point is things are volatile, wait and see is a good strategy for now. I stand by that
As do most thinking Americans
Wait and see with regards to making investment decisions is a good strategy; in short, do not buy or sell right now.
Wait and see in reference to whether or not Trump's tariffs are good is bullshit in lieu of a real argument to show that they are good.
In other words, Trump apologists cannot come up with anything to defend the lunacy of these tariffs so instead they say 'wait and see'.
It is bullshit because Trump apologists cannot bring themselves to admit that they are supporting / defending someone who does not know what he is doing.
That would be my recommendation but people should make up their own mind based on their individual circumstances.
Wait and see means wait and see if his strategy will be successful instead of running around with hair on fire claiming his strategy has already failed.
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea part 2
Unfortunately there are not enough of them
Yes, you apparently believe Trump has a strategy and that the damage he has done (and will continue to do) will all magically work out.
That is cultishly naive.
Trump does not know what he is doing and has already done damage that will not reversed in his term (at the least). Trump's threats and tariffs have strained relationships with key partners and undermined trust in U.S. consistency on global agreements.
Global trade is critical to our economic strength. By acting unilaterally and without clear, sustainable goals, Trump risks long-term damage to our credibility. If these policies persist, we will see lower earnings, leading to broader economic repercussions.
None of this was necessary. Trump has created serious problems instead of focusing on the reasons he was elected (prices, border).
I stand by waiting and seeing and not starting my hair on fire until and if it becomes time to start my hair on fire.
I do like cultishly naive although I doubt it will catch on. At least it shows an attempt at originality.
Your wait and see is you refusing to acknowledge Trump’s failures and your inability to argue why what he is doing is good. Your hair on fire phrase deems all sober criticism of Trump’s actions as emotional. Again, this is because you cannot put forth a persuasive argument defending his actions.
Your comments on this matter have been largely platitudes and bullshit.
Make up their own mind? That shit won't fly in some circles.
It's a self inflicted bear market that has eradicated trillions of dollars worth of the life savings of hardworking Americans.
Y'know that toxic masculine, cisgendered oppressive patriarchy full of guys who have spent decades doing evil shit like going to work, paying bills, raising kids, paying for college tuition and health insurance premiums, saving money and investing in the future of this country?? Remember those guys?? They're the ones getting fucked over. Needlessly. Again.
If we were going to do that, we could have elected Kamala. It would have been much less expensive.
If you smell smoke, that's me sneaking up behind you to set your hair on fire.
Remember those guys??
Sure, I am one of them. Still doesn't mean I am ready to call the game in the first inning of a nine inning game.
Exactly.
No, but maybe not every pitch should be a fastball down the middle, especially when we've given up 8 home runs in that first inning.
More like you are refusing to criticize a placekicker for attempting a field goal on his own goal.
Trump had a strong economy and stock market. He could have worked on the border, worked to reduce inflation down to 2% (from 3%), worked to help achieve better earnings, negotiate a fair peace in the Ukraine war, etc. He then would be doing what people elected him to do.
Instead, he single-handedly harms international relationships (with long-term consequences), crashes the stock market, puts the economy on a course towards a possible recession, trashes government services (both good and bad), fires workers with a chainsaw level of precision, and uses his power to engage in vindictive acts like removing security from select opponents, firing those who worked on his criminal cases, etc.
Trump had an easy play: kick the ball from the 25 yard line and get a field goal. He didn’t just miss the field goal; he turned around and kicked it into his own end zone.
It certainly is a different strategy that has never been used before. All the more reason to wait and see the results of it before declaring it a failure.
You seem to be struggling with the words wait and see and feel the need to add alot more to the three words than I ever said or claimed. Wait and see means wait for the results before declaring it good or bad..
The rest of you comment ( refusing to acknowledge, your inability to argue you cannot put forth, largely platitudes and bullshit ) is nothing more than an emotional outburst because you are not getting the response you want when you want it. I hope you can get past this disappointment because I am not giving you more than I have.
Trump wants to be known as the greatest man in American history. He has repeatedly said he is considered to be greater than George Washington, and even Lincoln. In order to secure that sort of place he cannot be a manager or caretaker of what someone else left him. He has to do great things, like acquire foreign territory or reset the world economic order. He's nuts, and very few Americans, even ones that dont like him, are willing to admit it. There is a 100% chance things will get worse before they get better.
We've seen results. $10 trillion of them.
Explain how you see this NOT being a failure.
What kind of a hand do you think the USA has in the global market, especially now? Do you truly believe that Trump can bully nations like China, the EU, Canada, et. al. to produce some great deals that could not have been achieved through normal negotiation (e.g. what Trump did in his first term with Canada and Mexico)? Do you believe that China is going to kowtow to Trump's bullshit game of chicken?
Given the damage Trump has already inflicted, I would like to hear what sort of spectacular good you think will come out his tariff insanity that will justify the negatives.
Do you seriously still not recognize that Trump does not know what he is doing?
You seem to be calling the game before second half is played.
Of course, you offer nothing.
See 5.2.50
Of course you offer nothing more than an emotional outburst because you are not getting the response you want when you want it.
See 5.2.50
Yes, after 5 days
More dishonesty. My posts stated facts and asked you difficult questions.
Instead, you deflect by deeming them emotional.
You clearly have no answers. Just bullshit.
I'm sure we're not going to pretend that a 20% loss over a couple of weeks is somehow better than a 20% loss over 6 months.
Let's also not pretend that he did not need to make us all poorer while achieving his trade goals. He could easily have done this without screwing us over.
Let's see if we are still down 20 percent in 6 months. While doing it his way may not be the preferred way continuing as we have been is not the answer
See 5.2.50
Does analysis like this (consistent across many sources) register with you in any way?
Also, do you not see how utterly stupid it is for Trump to say this after the rebound yesterday?:
He crashes the market with his idiotic tariffs and then takes credit for the partial recovery (because he backed down on most of these tariffs) as if he just accomplished something good. The spin here is over the top. Do you buy it?
Or this ...?
Texas Football Player Dies in Twin Brother’s Arms After Being Stabbed at High School Track Meet
We asked him to move. He started getting aggressive and talking reckless,” Hunter recalled.
“And my brother stepped in and said, ‘You need to move,’” Hunter added, “And he’s like, ‘Make me move.’”
“All of the sudden, he grabbed his backpack,” the brother said. And just seconds into the tussle, Hunter said Anthony pulled out a knife and stabbed his brother in the chest.
Austin, who was born two minutes before Hunter, died in his brother’s arms despite first responders’ attempts to resuscitate the teen.
Twin brother of Austin Metcalf, fatally stabbed Texas high school football star, claims they never met suspect
Karmelo Anthony was arrested and charged with first-degree murder by the Frisco Police Department. He admitted to putting a knife into Austin Metcalf's heart because Austin "put a hand on him."
A terrible side story to this is the amount of money being raised for the killer.
Just like the dude that killed the insurance CEO in cold blood.
What is it about the liberal ideology that thinks it is OK to kill to get their way?
Some were actually celebrating it and raising money for the killer. The United States is being attacked from within.
The last administration allowed them to get away with it so they think it's the norm now.
Does Kyle Rittenhouse ring a bell?

Good morning to our Press Secretary.

The left shopping for favorable judges just bit them in the ass on this one. They shopped for a judge local (D.C. District). The SCOTUS ruled in the right direction that because the detainees are being held in Texas the D.C. district judge has no jurisdiction.
The "Maryland resident" (Abrego Garcia) is not a US Citizen. There are allegations of gang activity with Ms-13, which can lead to his removal from the country despite what the left wants to gaslight everybody into believing.
He is a legal resident supposedly with the immigration court's protection.
A US immigration judge cleared him of being gang related and stopped deportation in 2019.
despite what you want to believe, HHS and everyone involved already admitted the error.
Why is so hard to accept the truth?
Still not a citizen. Why is so hard to accept the truth?
A lot can happen in 6 years...
And now it's being corrected...he's out.
A link would be appreciated.
I just searched the net and found out that
Talk about gaslighting much?
Paying attention helps.
Due to my respect for your service I am bending over backwards to try to help you see outside of your bubble.
About 36 minutes ago SCOTUS ordered that Garcia be returned to the US if for no other purpose than to give him the due process your service is supposed to guarantee.
SCOTUS agreed with Judge Xinis.
Do you need links?
I'll be shocked if he makes it back alive. this is a media shit storm the trump WH will do anything to avoid ...

Literate people say "the Democratric Party".
"the democrat party" is right wing cult usage.
Yeah, nobody cares.
What's the difference, most of them are still awful people?
The Democratic party is on life support. It is being taken over and killed by the democrat cult
The newest loser leader is that Crockett jack ass.
Beating democrats in 26 and 28 is going to be a breeze if she is still their leader.
She will be AOCs choice for vp. Oh the names people will be called if they don't vote for them
Probably but the memes will be hilarious
It's just going to be a rinse and repeat of what we've already seen. You know they can't come up with something original.
Like the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol which caused enormous damage to police officers and the Capitol building itself.
Both Republican and Democrats threatened by right wing rioters with Trump flags, erecting a gallows to hang Mike Pence Trump's own Vice President, a vast array of weapons and it did include guns because Trump told security to ignore the scanners because the rioters wouldn't hurt "him".
The pardon of violent rioters get a pass. Why is it that right wing violence gets forgiven and forgotten? If violence is wrong then it's wrong for EVERYONE.
I support peaceful protests and do not support the vandalism going on against dealerships but the vandals are a minority amongst the tesla protests.
If only Republicans supported holding J6 rioters to account then maybe it might seem less hypocritical to want harsher sentences for property damage to cars as opposed to attacks on Senators, Congress members and the United States Capitol.
If Republicans felt J6 was nothing, why bother with a much smaller number of car vandals handing out harsher sentences than rioters that wanted to kill their own Senators and Congress members?
They didn't get a pass. They did time in prison. One was murdered.
Their sentences were pardoned or commuted before most of them finished their sentences for property damage, and beating law enforcement people leaving many of them disabled, contributing o a half dozen LEO deaths.
In prison? Or are you clinging to the fallacy that that Babbit was some sort of innocent?
Still did time. Too bad the same couldn't be said for the rioters during the riots in 2020. I guess it all depends on who supports the riots.
Despite what you've been gaslit to believe, only ONE death was attributed to that day.
Not enough.
It's a simple task JR, prove it. You obviously have time and a computer.
Believing that out of 2,000 arrests, 300 by the same DoJ, none of them was convicted is the very definition
of being gaslit.
Why should we be surprised that you were wrong again. At least two fat asses died of heart attacks and another died of a drug overdose. Babbit got what every castle law allows.
That's a matter of opinion.
Couldn't find anything reliable I see.
I notice you didn't prove me wrong. Although I'm not surprised.
How many of the "Summer of Love 2020" rioters, looters and murderers actually served time or were charged for their crimes?
Maybe your question was meant to be rhetorical?
How many of those were convicted?...
Obviously, the internet works in your neck of the woods, so go for it.
That question was meant to be rhetorical.
[✘]
Apparently it doesn't work well enough for you to give the information on how many were convicted.
[✘]
Apparently you missed the Summer of Love full of "mostly peaceful protests" in 2020. Violence didn't seem to be wrong then.
Modern "protesting" is nothing more than idiots shouting at the sky.
Riiiight. Well the people lighting the cross are the minority amongst KKK members, too.
The Jan 6 rioters who actually attacked police officers were sentenced to 20+ years. The Portland protester who clubbed a police officer over the head with a baseball bat from behind got 2 years.
Do you understand what the word "hypocritical" even means?
Which members of congress were actually attacked? Which elected representative was actually physically assaulted or injured? Oh, that's right, one of the protesters was killed.
Because for the time being anyway, this is still a free country. Wanting to do something is not a crime. If we intend to remain a free country, political violence cannot be tolerated.
Might want to notify the left of that. A majority of them in a recent poll showed they support violence in the name of politics, especially against Trump and Musk.
Poll nothing. Their ACTIONS show they have a tendency for violence toward anybody who does not fit what they want.
Very true, however, many on the left, and even some here, have stated that it is a verrrrrrrry small percentage of those protesting that are conducting violent acts.
This poll shows how wrong they are.
But you NEVER see any of them denounce the violence. Not. A. Single. One.
Again, there is a difference between feeling and doing. It is correct that a very small percentage of people actually conducting Tesla vandalism.
For the time being anyway, this is still a free country. Wanting to do something is not a crime.
Agree, but wanting to do something is a step toward doing something or at a minimum supporting those that do. And sometimes a whackadoodle will do something stupid if he feels he is getting the support. A Luigi Mangione copycat may come out of the shadows because of all the support and "love" Luigi seems to be getting.
You're going to have a BIG problem convincing those on the left side of the aisle of that.
