"Destroy the left?"

Isn't the role of the Attorney-General of any state to uphold the laws of his/her commonwealth, protect all its citizens from harm, and seek justice for victims?

FTA

"The former Justice Dept apparatchik for the nefarious Trumpf junta has fantasized about wearing "OAG emblazoned windbreakers" while raiding any public institution "pushing tranny insanity," "run out all Kwanzaa-aligned elements poisoning our state," and launch "counter-jihad" against Muslim groups. Reitz recently threatened to revoke House Democratic leader Rep. Gene Wu's citizenship, and sparked pushback for his comments on the "invasion" of Indians to Texas."

Muslim-Americans make up a scant 1.34% of the entire US population. That's it. Per capita, there are more turban-wearing Sikhs in Canada than Muslims in America. Where does all this hysterical Islamophobia come from and why? Link: Islamophobic Texas

Oil-rich Texas: Blames minorities, executes convicts, allows proselytization in the classrooms, hates Muslims and LGBTQ people, lets firearms kill thousands of people a year, and takes more money from Washington DC every year than it sends in. And the Lone Star State automatically gives America two sickening Republican US Senators every six years. Texas: The gift that keeps on giving.

The GOP campaign commercials in my part of Texas are fear-mongering sharia law.

As if sharia law has any attraction to the phalanxes of Baptists that live here.

As if Muslims aren't rarer than snowmen in July.

It takes NOTHING to make some people, lots of people, deathly afraid.

Do you MAGA ever become ashamed at what wussies you are?

The Muslim population of Texas is approximately 313,000 people or 1.1% of the state's total population; 1.34% is the total Muslim population in the US. By average the Lone Star State has less than the rest of the US.

The Islamophobia is out of control.

Faux News, AIPAC, One America News Network, Larry and David Ellison's CBS, Laura Loomer, et al and ad nauseum have done a remarkable job of hatemongering.

Well, gotta keep the weapons and money flowing to Israel somehow, I guess.

All the Republicans in Texas seem to take AIPAC money, some way more than others.

House Democrat Jasmine Crockett (TX 30 CD) takes no AIPAC money but votes to send money and weapons to Israel every chance she gets. Why she has no compassion for the 72,000 killed in Gaza is anyone's guess.

On 19 Sep 2025, Jeremy Fistel (44) of Plano, TX was charged in Queens County, NY with making terroristic threats against NYS Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

Hatemongering and Islamophobia are first-rate in Texas.

**** Idiotic Islamophobia from Lunatic Florida Republican Randy Fine ****

Muslims make up a tiny 1.34% of the US population, but 21.1% of Israel's population.

Hatemongering of Muslims in the US makes ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank easier for Israel.

This is how billions and billions of dollars of hardworking American taxpayer funds automatically go to a country that has universal healthcare for all its residents because the poor Israelis are dealing with savage Muslims.

This vulgarity is to be expected from Republicans; but Democrats that take AIPAC money will pay a price on Election Day from the vast antiwar bloc, a movement as old as the American Revolution itself.

For more granularity, please see results of the 5 Nov 2024 and 5 Nov 1968 elections.

Trump did a magnificent job of convincing republicans to hate America.

Hi Clownshack

During the American Civil War which cost hundreds of thousands of lives, research and interviews revealed that many soldiers from both the North and the South fired above the heads of the enemy; they didn't want to kill their fellow Americans or kill anybody in general.

Not enough hatred.

AI Snapshot:

Total deaths: Approximately 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers died (includes deaths from battle, disease, accidents, and other causes).
Battle deaths: Around 213,000 soldiers killed in combat.
Disease deaths: Over 400,000 soldiers died from disease, which was the leading cause of death.
Wounded: About 275,000 soldiers were wounded, many with permanent disabilities.

Imagine if Faux News, CBS, and OANN were around in 1861 to generate hatred like we see today?

The above US Civil War casualty rates would have been much, much higher.

Hi A Friend:

I believe that figure.

Towards the end of the apocalyptic American Civil War, some civil servants in the Washington DC area considered an idea to help heal the wounds of the nation on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line when the war would finally end.

They created an American fraternal order called the Knights of Pythias, based on the Freemasonic Three Degrees system.

The major stipulation for any member to join was that they must have have all their limbs.

I guess the K of P didn't want members to see the horrendous injuries they inflicted on each other which would only serve to remind them of the war and retard healing.

Freemason FDR would later initiate into the Knights of Pythias, wheelchair and all.
