Corky, the problem with that is this.

Here is a made up example that is a rough analog.

If we look at the past 15 years and accept for arguments sake that the Rwing was the driver of accepting or enacting violence to reach political ends, but it's shifted to the left over the past 5...

I'm not going to care about the first 10. In the now, it's the left, and we need realize and address it. It wasn't right 10 years ago, and it's not right now. Whataboutism isn't going to improve the situation, and letting it continue will definitely get us to a worse place. If this has all been a back and forth wave, it feels as though that wave amplitude is increasing. At some point something will snap. For the good of all of us, ignoring it now because it's this teams turn to do it can't be acceptable.

Can't she just check his Signal chats like everyone else?

Perhaps Trump can assign some US Marshals to protect him.

"How long do you believe Project Freedom will go on for?"

"As long as it takes. Moving on, I have another announcement. I have decided to pause Project Freedom."

Someone needs to do it.

Past Democrat Presidents were too chicken ---- to do it.

Trump does have incredible gag reflex control.

Can you imagine the meltdown if Michelle Obama sat in on Pentagon meetings?

How do you know she wasnt? The press was VERY pro Obama at the time. You really think they would have reported something like that makes Obama look bad?

But it's someone associated with Trump so it's ok.

Gotta problem with Eddie Murphy?

what people at that time meant by the word "well regulated"/

#29 | Posted by shrimptacodan

Regulated by the states, not the federal government.

I thought that would be pretty obvious.

"The communists couldn't take me out "

What?!?

The folks in charge called for a classless society and the end of private property ... AND I MISSED IT?!?

Dang!

Why do they want to be out of Canada?

In a word? Oil, they think they can make more $$ using the resources that are available to them, and quit supporting the East coast socialist.

Questions is why would you want to be in Canada, GDP per Capita it ranks as the 51st State. But if Alberta is released the GDP per Capita could raise its standard of living.

The provinces in the east rank really really low.

Besides all of that, it's a U.S. constitutional right, guaranteed to anyone no matter what state they live in.

Not when the Constitution was written.

When the US Constitution was written, it applied ONLY to the federal government.

Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and the development of the incorporation doctrine, the Supreme Court in 1833 held in Barron v. Baltimore that the Bill of Rights applied only to the federal, but not any state, governments. Even years after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court in United States v. Cruikshank (1876) still held that the First and Second Amendment did not apply to state governments.

You left yourself open the stupid argument that the right to bear arms is in the constitution but the right to an education isn't.

The constitution says that an insurrectionist can't run for president so clearly we can just ignore it when we want to.

Two examples, the reactions to the killing of Charlie Kirk, and the CEO of United Health.
Not the actions, the celebrations.

#57 | Posted by kwrx25

Both of which came from a minority of those deemed "left."

Funny, though, that in order to see what you want to see you're switching from actual violence to perceptions of "celebrations."

I guess you will take that Toyota Yaris as a "rough" BMW...

The problem is even IF there is some tangible evidence, no one will believe it except MAGA because the Trump DOJ has cried "Wolf" so many times and come up with literally nothing.

Good job, MAGA. You played yourself.

Facts were posted on this thread already Clown, I shouldn't have to and won't summarize the entire thread on each post I make.

But... recent polls showing a marked difference in the percentage of people who are accepting of political violence, and I'll add a cnn link below this that basically speaks to Corky's point. Yes the right owned this perception in the past, but as of more recently the left has erased that margin, making them the driver of the violence as of late.

Trump's biggest TACO yet, appropriately on Cinco de Mayo.

It's always hilarious when the people who for decades commit by far the most Domestic Terrorism in this country, according to the FBI and DHS, Rwing white nationalists... try to blame the violence on Dems.

I didn't read anywhere that democrats are committing more political violence.

Depends upon who makes the graph as to where the cutoff is, and whats included.

For instance
Skin head in prison commits a crime - RightWing violence.
Go back to the 1970's and its 1000s of bombings by left wing activists.

Its toss up, but overall the language of the lefts main characters is "violence", and thus its acceptance. Todays left even accepts/defends illegal immigrant violence against citizens with aplomb.

Also basic definitions would indicate this is true, "progressives" want change (how would that come about?), and "Conservatives" don't, why would they need violence to keep things the same?

I didn't read anywhere that democrats are committing more political violence.

This is about democrats accepting political violence. Approving it.

Not committing it.

Now that we've dispensed with the lack of reading comprehension issues.....let's move onto what was actually asserted.

Are democrats more accepting of political violence?

Here is my 2 cents.....I don't give a ---- what they accept. They aren't the ones committing it and it's nothing but an accusation anyway.

Everything else is crap

The golden dance hall was:

$200,000,000 and funded by himself.

then

$300,000,000 and funded by kickbacks from businesses doing business with the government

Then $400,000,000 and funded by the taxpayers

and now

$1,000,000,000 and crammed into a house oversight bill by the GQP.

Where'd the $300,000,000 go?

Same place the inauguration money went into the orange chomos bank account.

I don't want to hear one ------- word ever again about Hunter Biden you hypocritical piles of excrement.

It's always hilarious when the people who for decades commit by far the most Domestic Terrorism in this country, according to the FBI and DHS, Rwing white nationalists... try to blame the violence on Dems.

Get some morals, get some standards, get some ethics.

That's required if you want to lecture others on morals, standards, and ethics.

Trump's shtick, much like Old Yeller himself, has gotten old, repetitious, tired, and boring. Which only highlights this creature's status as an energy vampire of the very worst sort. And nobody needs energy vampires.

The Trump Epstein Coverup, while holding for now, is an ongoing mess that keeps dominating and damaging his presidency. Like his promise to release his tax returns, the Trump Epstein Coverup shines spotlights on promises made, promises broken, and one big question: If there's nothing to hide about Trump's association with Epstein, why is Trump sweating bullets trying to keep as much information about it as possible from seeing the light of day as he can?

And then there's Trump's War of Choice, which he initially explained as being conducted at the behest of what appears to be the single nation with which the US actually has a "special relationship" - Binyamin Netanyahu's expansionist, ethnonationalist Israel. Given that the Trump end of Netanyahu's war - Trump, of course, always blames his many failures on others - got bogged down and has remained so ever since US war planners appear to have suddenly discovered the location/vulnerabilities of the Strait of Hormuz, this cockup is another ongoing, festering problem. Such a monumental screwup cannot be playing too well with Trump's acolytes and enablers. To be sure, they're happy as pigs wallowing in their own mess if bad stuff happens to other people. But, hey, what the hell, this is affecting them, too.

Welcome to what happens when the Republican Party knowingly paralyzes and destroys the system of checks and balances so carefully created by people so much more clever - but far less venal - than they.

Happy 250th, folks.

Trump has not had a plan or goals for attacking Iran since Day 1. He is not "pausing" because of some deal with Iran that isn't going to happen. He's pausing because at this point continuing offensives strikes against Iran requires congressional approval under the War Powers Resolution. The fact that republicans in Congress continue to block holding an AUMF vote is a clear message that they do not support Trump's big Epstein distraction but don't have the balls to actually put their opposition on record. They'd rather just have Democrats force enforcement of the 60 day limit. Even those like Graham who have strongly supported the war in their public statements appear to recognize that Trump and Hegseth are not fit to prosecute this war. Allowing it to continue through the summer will lead to an even bigger electoral disaster for Republicans come November than the one they are already facing.

Past Democrat Presidents were too chicken ---- to do it.

Do what?

Make empty threats and get humiliated?

You do realize thanks to Trump's bungling, Iran is actually better off than they were before he attacked?

I figured this would be a pedoringer thread.

posters here are all for Capitalist Companies use of slave wage laborers

The left typically calls for raising minimum wage and providing more efficient, effective methods to gaining citizenship.

What is the right calling for? More prisons and the the end to birthright citizenship.

Author of Jeffy's contribution is, predictably, a rwing stooge.

It's not.

And it's just as repulsive and tacky as you'd expect it to be.

WTF is wrong with MAGA to elect this pathetic pile of s*&^?

Give me the confidence of a mediocre MAGA man hiding behind his false bravado.

Seriously, I wish I had whatever lack of awareness these men possess so that I could just skate through life and never have to face any consequences from anything I say or do.

The man who brought us the 24-hour news cycle. For that he should be reviled.

The Braves were fun to watch under his ownership, though.

And he brought us the incomparable Bill Tush, the original fake news, during rainouts. Jan Hooks, too.

RIP, for all his faults.

The lefts numbers were larger though, and had increased.
That is the topic, I know sticking to a topic is rare here, but that's what I was doing.

#65 | Posted by kwrx25

Except the data is a bit all over and doesn't really add up to me.

79 to 91% are against political violence. Automatically, we're talking about small minorities.

One poll drives the appearance of the left being more open to violence (Marquette) while the other two are within margins.

The real money graph is one you're apparently ignoring, the one where we see 27-35% of Repubs supported violence from March '21 through Sep '24. Now I'm sure it's pure coincidence that this was during Biden's term and the numbers only dropped to be comparable to the left's numbers once Trump won the election...right?

Even by your own thoughts your narrative is incorrect.

" The lefts numbers were larger though, and had increased."

You were asked about the incidents.

If you want to complain about changing the subject, start with your mirror.

Meanwhile, do you have links to increased leftist violence?

Two examples, the reactions to the killing of Charlie Kirk, and the CEO of United Health.

What the left really wants is to see Trump held accountable for all his fraud and crimes and locked away in prison for the rest of his life.
That would be the most satisfying consequence for the entire Trump family.

#49 | Posted by ClownShack

Bingo. The right just can't stop with the accusations as admissions, even projecting their own violent tendencies onto "the left."

Meanwhile, the right is, as usual, obtuse to the notion that their standing in the way of Trump receiving his right consequences for his life of crime and unethical behavior reflects poorly on them and is a significant contributor to the feelings of revulsion and disgust many of us feel towards them.

Cronkite was the last best trusted voice in American media.

You know, before Corporations became Super Citizens and backed their interests over the interests of American Citizens to have straight news and facts rather than propaganda.

"But... recent polls showing a marked difference in the percentage of people who are accepting of political violence"

Hey KWRX25.

You are so dumb, you can't figure out that what ICE is doing, rounding up people and sending them to camos, is political violence.

ICE mass detention is Political violence.

All Republicans support it.

You don't care.

What happens when a POTUS replaces everyone at the top of our government with sycophants who have absolutely no experience at those jobs?

Success beyond Putin's wildest dreams.
