It probably made more sense in the original cyrillic.

These people are sick. I guess they feel bad about everyone being so harsh on Dylann Roof so now they want to make a hero out of their latest MAGAturd.

Skittles are a known melee weapon--imagine being hit on the head with a bag full of them! Not the little bag, the party size version! Eek!

Yep--the example I use is if you have a gun in your pocket, and you go and punch someone and they punch you back and you shoot them because you were afraid they were going to punch you to death, you can't say "hey, self defense!"

That makes sense. I usually use my shotgun to put out fires. My neighbors think I'm insane but we both know better.

"Paint is not bullets."

Yeah, this. Mr. cc, who grew up outside of Detroit and remembers well being home alone with his mom during the riots in the late 60s, his dad away on business. They had a baseball bat at the ready by the door just in case. He was genuinely scared. Because of that childhood experience, he is rather unhappy about all this current unrest. In an old man, get off my lawn, kind of way. And, imho, a little too quick to condemn both sides.

But, when he heard Trump say this yesterday, he went off. So the good news is Trump is so stupid and reckless in his rhetoric that he will even piss off an aging white dude inclined to "both sides" this issue.

Which means nothing. Are you the idiot from.last night claiming that the German Nazi Party was actually a socialist group because they had that name in their title? Trump claims he's a genius, and we all know that is a ridiculous lie. North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, but it is not democratic, or a republic, or for the people. You really need to get a brain.

some tactics that have been used thus far:

1) Slow down the process through litigation and bureaucracy. Make it so dense with technical objections that anyone without a law degree has their eyes glaze over. Then, divide everything among the state legislatures and courtrooms so that there's lots of little fires.2) Make propaganda efforts stress the existence of "silent majority" or "embarrassed voters", so that when the vote seems closer than it actually is (because of trickeration), it doesn't appear to be that much of a stretch (narrow margins in a few districts, polls were right but the votes were wrong, etc.).3) Crime it up in the daylight. Make them mop up the crimes after the damage is done, and make it so brazen that folks will be shocked at the overt moxie of the operation.4) Mobilize reactionary cells to foster violence, and let sympathetic actors embedded in legitimized forces do the dirty work on the streets.

expect more of the same.

I have no idea why we have a criminal justice system in this country when we have you.

As Robyn said the other day:Kyle Rittenhouse, by the way, was lawless. He obtained two guns, lawlessly: It is illegal for persons under the age of 18 to possess a handgun in his home state of Illinois (which he also had in addition to his "AR-like" long gun) and also illegal for anyone to give them one, while it is also illegal in Wisconsin for anyone under 18 to possess a long gun. He took them over state lines, lawlessly. He then shot three people, lawlessly, killing two of them, including one person who was trying to to protect people. That's lawlessness.

President Psycho has either boxed himself in or is trying to get in the box intentionally?He is the leader of the white is right movement and there is no going back.

It's ride or die for him and its looking like die so he's doing more riding. Most strategists bail when a plan goes south, Dimbulb's plan is the south.

Did you see the article that even the military is actually preferring Biden over Trump? So you just have to fear the police, really. D; I don't think Trump would pardon all murderers, just the ones he knows support him. He never does anything for someone if it doesn't benefit him personally.

I think it had something to do with shadows or darkness or light or something the runner had no control over.

So a good guy with a skateboard is dead and now being maligned by the orange shitstain. I guess he would have been a hero had used a gun to try and to disarm dotard's fan boy. Call me cynical but it's almost as if that "good guy" line is nothing but bullshit for the gun humpers to both spew and ingest. I hate these people from the very to to wherever the bottom is.

Went to CNN.com to see if one of the top headlines is HOLY MAGICAL FUCK WHY IS THE PRESIDENT CONDONING MURDER and was disappointed but Chris Cillizza is writing about “The 35 most reckless lines from Donald Trump's interview with Laura Ingraham” so I guess that’s...something?
