Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, October 05, 2026

Imagine starting a fire and then standing by and filming with your mobile phone while a firefighter is engulfed in flames. That is one of the scenes emerging from France's latest wave of unrest. Elsewhere, rioters have doused a teacher in petrol, looted businesses, and set vehicles and schools on fire. The fact that many of the rioters are looting while waving Algerian and Palestinian flags is just a symptom of a much larger, unspoken failure. The ostensible grievance is the condition of French education. The proposed remedy, apparently, is fewer teachers and more ashes.

Wanna know why I don't vote Democrat? This is what they want for the US.

"Wanna know why I don't vote Democrat? This is what they want for the US."

IOW, you can't deal with what the Republicans have actually become, so you have to make up a fake version of Democrats to hate.

Fake. Nope. I listen to what they say when they let the mask slip and I observe their policies when they are in power.

" I observe their policies when they are in power."

Then you lie about them.

Remember when you claimed censorship under Biden, or grift, or weaponization, and couldn't find any?

Now they're staring you in the face, and your reaction is "look at what someone ELSE did!"

Thanks for proving, once again, whenever The Party of Responsibility mentions responsibility, they're ALWAYS talking about SOMEONE ELSE's responsibility, and never their own.

DeflectionDan is in rare form today.

He plugs his ears, then claims things he didn't hear don't exist.

BellBringer sees the results of MAGA governance and has determined he's okay with living in a failed nation.

That's what being a republican means. Being proud to be an absolute failure.

Republicans have control over all three branches of government and instead of posting why they're proud to be a Republican.

They've had to resort to finding imaginary scenarios to be afraid of.

It's all republicans have.

Their fear and their hate.

Congratulations America.

"claims things he didn't hear don't exist."

Which are those, specifically?

And why did you run from the recent thread where you asked for examples of voter suppression, then ran away when several posters offered multiple examples?

So did Democrats light that French cop on fire, or did you have to go halfway around the world for a false equivalence?

Our open boarders liberal does nothing but lie.

Lying is easy.

You never answered whether you actually had you daughter open CalSavers accounts for her tween workers.

Did you lie about the situation, or did you find the answer before making the mistake?

He doesn't have a daughter.

And here it was I thought that you have a high tolerance for incompetence, theft, and sexual perversion.

You go, you patriot, you!

Migrate to another country to escape your domestic situation and then set the new home on fire.

In all seriousness: you admire the fascist system, its thought, and its way of life.

In all seriousness: that makes you a liar, a prevaricator, a betrayer, and just a general wad of snot.

In all seriousness: there is going to be an effort to clean up this country if the House flips; one that you will oppose by being a liar, a prevaricator, a betrayer, and one general wad of snot.

One wonders how JeffyBelle missed most of the Domestic Terrorism over the last several decades in the country being committed by rwing white nationalists, according to the FBI and DHS?

Blind or willfully blind?

They're copying your ancestors.

Meanwhile.

Farmers can't farm.

Ranchers can't ranch.

Truckers can't truck.

Data centers are going up everywhere.

We're at war, constantly.

Stay distracted.

And just so we have our facts straight
Beating a cop with a fire extinguisher fine
Dousing a fireman bad

-They're copying your ancestors

My Ancestors owned a third of this country, right up the middle of it beginning at the mouth of the Mississippi River. They built things like the City of New Orleans, Baton Rouge and ports along the river. Then, they sold it to the US.

Explain how these low-life thugs in Paris are building anything but a ghetto with their violence. Examine yourself, first generation son to immigrant parents who came here for an education and a better chance of being successful than they ever could in that
shithole they left behind - and all you do is complain that the USA isn't socialist enough for you.

Also, I know 2 people who are in Paris RIGHT NOW, and they're having a wonderful time. It's reminiscent of when Portland burnt to the ground. Oh, right, that was nothing but a MAGAT lie.
