To be a fascist in America, you have to be on a website talking about how the presidential system is controlled by the Zionist Occupied Government,"

Sounds like Omar or Rashida Tlaib to me. But are they populists? Maybe to the Muslim community. Certainly they aren’t Trump supporters.

You fail because you refuse to see the truth.

Hasn't there always been crazy people doing crazy things in the USA? Hasn't there always been whites that hate blacks and blacks that hate whites? Why is this news?

komputodo says

Why is this news?

It's not. It's an old story about a racist couple being stupid.

All I read here was the author fapping furiously.
So many words to say so little of any meaning.
Typical academic.

Not only, mostly.

After trying for a day to think of better ways to do encryption, I gave up and upgraded my OS and then was able to get a new certificate from Letsencrypt.

Trump has been the best thing for the US economy in our lifetimes.

Some things put allot into GDP, health care complex is up to 25%, sickest developed country on the planet, most expensive, but with a poor ranking, this is super great for GDP! Military is also a pretty big part of GDP. Government alone puts a trillion a year just into these two. Majority CFO's are calling for last quarter 2021 as earliest possible recession. U.S. is a big economy, it doesn't turn on a dime.

Not sure any modern economic model is one to brag up, they have a tendency to booms & busts, and run on mostly .. debt.

It’s news to people who say all violence is done by the political left

Did they commit violence or just threat of violence?

Look at a newspaper. Headlines are generally in caps. It stands out and looks right too. Be sure to ask the Times editor too.

By "newspaper", do you mean your link? I looked. Unlike your title, the case in the given quote is all proper (probably the only thing that's proper in there). So, I'll add another question to the list:
- What's up with all the capitals in the header? Desperate cry for attention? Better pay per word? Any other reason?
- Why would you send me to a source which contradicts your claim?
Genuinely curious, please respond.

Tim Aurora says

And how many people has the left killed. And do not include Islamic terrorist. They are on the right, just the Islamic right ( Islamic conservatives)

Islam is THE terrorist religion. Muslims are the total suckers of any community wherever they are in the world for the last 1400 years.
When Islam is in minority - it targets right, through partner ship with left, its a win-win situation.
At some point when Islam reaches majority it targets everyone left, right including them-self's.

Tim Aurora says

Authorities said Earnest had posted an anti-Jewish screed online and was being investigated in connection with an arson that caused damage to a mosque in nearby Escondido last month. No injuries were reported in that fire

The suspect in the deadly shooting at a San Diego County synagogue had no love for President Trump, apparently blasting him as a “Zionist, Jew-loving” traitor in a hate-filled manifesto posted before Saturday’s attack.
...
As for Mr. Trump: “You mean that Zionist, Jew-loving, anti-White, traitorous c*cksucker? Don’t make me laugh,” he said in the manifesto, according to Heavy.com and other news outlets.

Now that the Stormfront kids see Omar and Taliban and Liberal Outlets all bashing Israel and Zionism, the confluence of it reinforces their belief and justifies their behavior because now it's in Stereo.

As for Left Wing Terror, we're having a wave of Left Wing Terror Attacks on Cops that began in 2015 and is ongoing, with dozens of casualties just in the past few years, from Dallas to Baton Rogue to Tennessee.

sickest developed country on the plane

I just wish the Boomers would die off already! They’re sucking us dry on their way out!
Got a letter yesterday saying my pension is going to be cut to finance their retirement, because you know none of their pension payments will be affected. Only the ones who come after no matter what we pay in.
Typical Boomers the “me” generation, pulling the ladder up after themselves.

You know time and time again these lone killers have no network of support, no imam that radicalized them. No donors that financed their violent endeavorers, no organization the actively recruit people like them for such purposes. And time and time again the Scumbag Lying Media and the Party they depend on, says the group of mass killers that do have such support systems back and encouraging them as "Lone Killers" with mental problems.

Why is that?

Also has it escaped the grasp of the Liberals the killer hated our Conservative President?

I wouldn't rule out he was radicalized by Leftists to kill these people so they could blame Trump. Even though his manifesto says he hates Trump.

Let it be an example to similar assholes everywhere. This is America where you should be able to have a birthday party for your child and her friends without fearing a bunch of Uber TRumpCucks are going to come and threaten your lives.

You've got to know that Trump's election has emboldened too many of these type of assholes.

The "very fine people" quote in context, so that people who sadly watch only the extremely deceptive MSM propaganda can see what Trump really said:

Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"

Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."

Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."

Trump: "George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down -- excuse me, are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?"

Reporter: "I do love Thomas Jefferson."

Trump: "Okay, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now, are we going to take down his statue?

"So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

"Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."

THe bigger problem is that Trump is an idiot that doesn't do his preparation or take enough advice in preparing. . It's about his incompetence and arrogance.

His point about the statues and about Washingtom and Jefferson was a point that is fine to make. I agree with it in fact. But it was not the right time for that.

That was a time for condemning white racial hate, ONLY !. Period. It was not time to discuss the ways that he sympathizes with southerners who memorialize the confederacy. .

At a separate time, it would be more than appropriate - even if he wanted to give a whole speech on the complexities of questions surrounding southern heroes, and proposing ways that we become more understanding and tolerant of different views on the subject of "confederate heroes."

Is he incomeptant ? Or does TRump actually like to fan the flames of division, which is so easy to do in the south.

Shouldn't you be able to work in a liquor store without fearing you'll be pistol whipped by Obama's Sons?

marcus says

Can you explain why? What is it exactly about Trump that “emboldens” white supremacy? Is it the way that hus policies have employed and enriched the highest percentage of black People in history? Is it like how he’s anti Semitic even though he has Jews in his family and is a yuuuge supporter of Israel?

Or are you just watching too much CNN again?

Quigley says

Can you explain why?

Primarily becasue he didn't even use dog whistles to appeal to racists. He was wide open about it. And then he won !!

What message does that send to white supremacists ?

Do you really think that Europe looks at the Trump Presidency following the Obama Presidency and doesn't at least partly see a racist backlash ? Not that we care what Europe thinks.

Look, I don't like it that the left is reacting with a doubling down on identity politics, but I'm not surprised. It is a reaction to something. What ? You think it's just a reaction to Trump being an old white dude instead of us getting an old white woman ?

marcus says

lol...you didn't even remotely answer the question. The Left is so brainwashed by CNN that they've assumed Trump is racist without questioning the initial premise.

marcus says

Primarily becasue he didn't even use dog whistles to appeal to racists. He was wide open about it. And then he won !!

So by having a platform based on:
1)deregulation to pump economy
2)immigration enforcement to pump the American workforce up to good employment and better wages
3) adherence to the Constitution over progressive ideas
4) MAGA
Somehow one or all of those ideas are racist? Or appeal to racists? Which idea is on its face stupid, like claiming that croissants are evil because Klan members prefer them. Or claiming that chocolate is bad because Hitler enjoyed it.
Stupid is as Leftist does...

jazz_music says

It’s news to people who say all violence is done by the political left

There are actually people who claim that ALL violence is done by the political left? I wouldn't even talk to a person that stupid. All the brothers shooting each other daily are all leftists? White psychotic serial killers? Lots of these people have never seen the inside of a voting booth. Violent people come in all races and colors and it has nothing to do with politics. You should know that.

marcus says

Primarily becasue

NO! Just because!

marcus says

the Obama Presidency

The most racist prez since LBJ.

Fact - between 2016 and 2017, 11 Police officers were killed by Left Wing Black Supremacists in 4 different terrorist attacks and many more injured.

https://patrick.net/post/1317871/?c=1587089

jazz_music says

There were 49 mass shootings last year by right wing nut jobs. 39 of them were white nationalists.

Source?

Tim Aurora says

I thought "Only the left is violent"

How do you define this terrorist? And why?

jazz_music says

According to today’s Democracy Now, only 50 murders were reviewed and out of them 49 or right way and 39 were right wing white supremacist

Democracy Now?! hahahaha

Link?

Are they including incel flipouts like Elliot Rodger as "Right Wing?" or Las Vegas, which the FBI ruled was "Infamy/Misanthropy" as the cause?

There aren’t many long term running shows that I got into... Sopranos and Breaking Bad were awesome.

What am I missing when it comes to Game of Thrones?

BayArea says

What am I missing when it comes to Game of Thrones?

Epic chaos. You can barely perceive the machinations of the author guiding the story. It’s kind of awesome.

I will voice a (perhaps unpopular) position that there’s too much gratuitous nudity in the show. As awesome as some of the women look, it’s turning a lot of people off to a really great show. It would be just as great without quite as much, perhaps only a tasteful amount.

But what do I know? It’s got a billion watchers now.

I read the books in the early 2000s, never imagining that they’d be adapted in such an amazing way. The show is truly much better than the books.
