It is often hard to figure out why republicans commit violence - attacking cops, shooting presidents, vandalizing and looting the Capitol, shooting up pizza places and murdering protesters. Often their reasons are nonsensical because they base them on right wing disinformation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh wait, I don't know what I am talking about. Agreed. Now prove it again by answering my question in post #77. What is it about a 20 year, you, old being given permission to kill communists (also 20 years old or less) that is not political? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like he was a mixed up kid who wanted to get into the history books. He’d have shot Biden or Taylor Swift if they’d been there first. With the number of school and mass shootings, it’s hard to make a name for yourself these days. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see where you're confused - it was Brent who figured out that people saying things was what caused Trump to be shot. I'm saying that if we accept Brent's premise, then it's pretty obviously the stuff Trump said that was the problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not mistaken I believe your service was earlier in the "war" or whatever they called it. Possibly before the draft was very widespread. How many years did you serve?

He never said, and I never said Trump said neo-nazis were 'very fine people'. I said it took him days to denounce them. The Neo Nazis, the KKK, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers still support Trump. Trump might not be a white supremacist neo-nazi rascist, but all the white supremacist neo-nazi rascists sure think he is. So does YOUR interpretation of what is and isn't news always drive YOUR narrative, because Trump actually DID take 3 or 4 days to denounce the neo-nazis. That's not 'news' nor 'speculation' that is indeed a fact. https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/14/politics/trump-condemns-charlottesville-attackers/index.html - This was days after the attacks in Charlottesville, which was Aug-11 or 12 something like that Your rebuttal reminds me of IXK, use the definition to define a word..LOL CNN edited the 8/15 speech so you didn't get my verbatim live.Not on the Clown News Network or MSLSD. lol Going back to a poisoned well,never good. Read the last line of your source, it's the one that leaves the lasting impression..sic https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/trump-campaign-press-release-fact-check-after-charlottesville-president-trump-0 It was a Local issue, the next day a state,by the end of the weekend a National issue. A weekend at Bernie's ,right. You should read the entirety of my source, you may realise the bad element shouldn't want anything to do with Republicans. I could turn your perspective around and use the same logic with Democrats. I won't go there,I'll leave it up to your imagination. I think Trump's response to the Press.Probably the real issue.Where does it end,removing Washington, T.J. or Lincoln's Statues? Fantasizing fighting nazis, like targets you can't see.

Back in the late 60's there were many Americans who thought that the US stood for good in the world. Those were the pre-FOX, the pre-MAGA days. Now for millions bone spurs are celebrated.

But sure, it seems to fit your narrative. Do you have a press release similarly that says Trump did NOT steal millions from his charity as well? I can hardly wait "I could turn your perspective around and use the same logic with Democrats. I won't go there, I'll leave it up to your imagination." Please do - I gave SPECIFIC examples. your turn. Show us the examples of democrats cozying up to militant anti-government white supremacist groups and calling them fine people.

Quote It was a Local issue No, Naziism is NOT a North Carolina issue. It didn't start there. The people who suffered under them did not live in the US. It started out as a global issue (in fact, caused an entire world war - you may have heard of that one, even on FOX) and if Trump doesn't know anything about that, he is supremely unqualified to lead any country. Quote I could turn your perspective around and use the same logic with Democrats. No, you couldn't, because nothing similar has happened there for the past 50 years or so. Quote Where does it end,removing Washington, T.J. or Lincoln's Statues? It ends with the people in the towns where the statues are making the decisions. Which is what happened. Do you oppose that? Want Biden to decide which statues go and which stay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
