Beto Supporter " as a mother of two I can tell you right now I'd do anything, legal or illegal, to get my children into this country "

Cruz supporter " You'd let someone rape your child? "

I hate these people so much.

I mean it's a pretty vile response but at the same time she did say anything. Beto supporter meant it figuratively but the Cruz supporter saw a prime opportunity to take a shot at her and did so.

Oh shut up, it's not a shot it's a stupid question that just begs someone to ask "why do you want to rape my child?" The goal is to make the other side look awful, not your own.

Rightwingers had a cache of guns on a rooftop for August 4 (A4).


Here's the Portland Police Chief lying and smearing left wing protesters after the fact but before we all learned about the cache of guns on the rooftop:



Joey Gibson, one of the most famous Proud Boys, has been getting media assistance from such powerful sources as literally Fox News. They've been running pieces on him where they make him and his gang look like the victims of antifa chaos and anarchy.

The proper response is asking if raping the children and babies is the next phase for deterrence since locking them in cages isn't enough, and wonder if they hope to volunteer for the ****ing position.

Trump making kids sign away their rights to be reunited with their parents.

Trump is our president. This is our America. Unless we get people to vote his ass out of the White House and to vote Democrats into Congress to check Trump's power.

That's probably already happening. This chaos, inadequate supervision, poor living conditions and the fact that children do not have the parents with them are perfect circumstances for pedophiles to operate in. Wouldn't be surprised if child molestation wasn't happening at an epidemic level in those environments.

I guess we need a sub thread just for these

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses! Ugh!

I'm pretty sure a good chunk, if not most of it does so 300+ million Americans are pretty stupid

Lady in FL called the cops on a black man cheering for his son at a soccer game

Like I'm gonna take milk talk from a place it comes in a bag.

Polling preschoolers must have been interesting.

Either that or adults are really good at real-life trolling.

Are Proud Boys really the chosen whites in RATM's "Killing in the Name"?

Jesus Christ.

I mean, is Portland not as liberal as Portlandia has led me to believe? How the **** is this guy the police chief of that city??

Do you even Holstein, bro?

Great question. Portland is absolutely a liberal or left of center city by U.S. standards. However, the same goes for Honolulu, and yet the police force here has a reputation for being incredibly harsh and corrupt. Also, the Mayor of Portland is supposed to be one of the most liberal politicians in the city. However, he has done nothing so far but enable the right wing and the police who are allied with them. There are a few things going on here. For one thing, the "liberal" nature of these places and their local governments doesn't mean that the cops will be liberal. The Police in the U.S. is by its nature and by its function an extremely conservative, even reactionary, gang of muscle. That doesn't stop when you enter the more liberal metropolises.

For a bigger answer to your question, look at how the DC City Council just overturned the will of the people by overturning Initiative 77. These "liberal" local governments, whether that word is accurate or not, are really looking out for the interests of the wealthy property developers and the big business owners, not the marginalized members of the community. This is the bigger problem. When the Democratic Party has aligned itself with cosmopolitan middle class people and the Republican Party has aligned itself with straight up fascists, there is no major institutional support for antifascists, houseless people, transgender people, sex workers, etc. These people all have to fight both sides of the system to get their work done--and that's why I say the Democratic Party is a huge danger to all of us, even though it's not as bad as the Republican Party.

Look, the bottom line is liberalism is the nicer half of capitalism. It will act to protect capitalism in any way necessary, even if that means promoting and advancing fascism as a countermeasure against communism/socialism. Take a look at the liberal paper of record covering the leader of the Proud Boys Gang:

Oh god he's quoting his own text walls.

What do you think about the NYT coverage of the Proud Boys, iron?

We all know the nyt isn’t a liberal newspaper. Tell chiefsplanet

Haven't read it.
