Run an image search for "Trump inauguration riots" and behold thousands of photos of peaceful behoodied protesters wielding everything from crowbars to Molotov cocktails. My point is that, weapons or no, an army of black-clad antifa thugs shouldn't be casually dismissed. And my point is she chose that as a photo and my response was to her choosing that as her photo when it seems she could have easily found a photo that would be on part with the photo tenn posted. I wasn't the one trying to prove a point. And she failed at it. She no doubt figured a photo of a black-clad army was sufficiently threatening to get you to care. I would have too.

Speaking of photos, I thought you might like to see a picture of the young woman killed by the car speeding into the crowd. She definitely died much too young.

Can you be an army without any weapons in site? Again, I'm back to why are black hoodies scary? Didn't realize I was a threatening when I wear my black hoodies.

Again, I'm back to why are black hoodies scary? Didn't realize I was a threatening when I wear my black hoodies. If it's you alone, it would depend on the circumstances and who you ran into. If it's you with dozens or hundreds of others dressed in black and concealing your faces, I assure you that anyone you run into will feel sufficiently threatened no matter who they are and how benign your intent. I also advise against wearing army fatigues, pointed white hoods, balaclavas, and Halloween masks, as cute, goofy, or unthreatening as these can be. As I understand it, it may soon be illegal for protesters to conceal their faces in Europe--in any way. The US and Canada will probably follow suit.

Just imagine all the even more bad stuff that Trump and his "supporters" are going to cause when he gets re-elected.....

President Donald Trump is blaming "many sides" for the violent clashes between protesters and white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia. Trump also contends that the "hatred and bigotry" broadcast across the country had taken root long before his political ascendancy. Trump's comments are drawing criticism from Republicans and Democrats who say he should be denouncing hate groups by name. Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer, a Democrat, says that he blames Trump for inflaming racial prejudices with his campaign last year. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, says that the president "must call evil by its name." A neo-Nazi website is praising the president for not condemning white nationalist groups for the demonstration that turned violent. The Daily Stormer says that Trump's comments are "good" and amount to "no condemnation at all www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/the-latest-trump-aide-considers-va-clash-to-be-terrorism/ar-AApZbQd?li=AAadgLE&ocid=spartanntp

I have 3000+ Americans were killed by radical Islam and multiple killings and terrorism by the JV Team. Be as it may, this is not a contest to show who killed more. It should be just a wake up call to the fact that we have bigger problems than we'd like to admit in our own back yard. And if you insist about "who done it worse" think about the over 100000 civilians that w killed in Iraq alone as a retaliation for the 3000."...on many sides..." doesn't sound like a statement denouncing anything but rather as a "...well, you did it too!" Typical for a toddler! How the f*** did we get here? And lest we forget, we know that Iraq had no involvement in the 9/11 attacks, nor did it have weapons of mass destruction. So when bringing up 9/11 as justification for anything, leave alone an act of domestic terrorism, we better tread very, very lightly!

As much as Trump loves to use the unfortunate death of pretty white woman Kate Steinle to rail against immigrants, I'm not going to hold my breath that he'll use the death of this pretty white woman to rail against white supremacists.

You might buy a jacket made by children in sweat shop so that you personally can stay warm... but you are fooling yourself if you think that you don't own a piece of that sweat shop also by perpetuating the environment. You picked trump. This was foreseeable. He told you exactly who he was and where he was headed. You get to own a piece of that too. If you don't want to, may I suggest resistbot. And visiting your representatives regularly to explain what you won't tolerate. Regarding your "children in sweat shop" jacket comparison: If you didn't have any better options (the choices were that jacket or a bikini), then what choice do you have... freeze to death? For the record (again) I didn't "[pick] Trump". I didn't vote for him, so you might want to mention that the "you"s you are using are meant in the general sense.

The people in power at the DNC (and the many blind supporters) just HAD to have Hillary... the only person on the planet that Trump could not lose to. Remove that ONE person (Hillary), and we wouldn't have Trump in The White House. That's the "linchpin". That's the "pull-ring in the grenade". That's the cornerstone upon which everything else is built.

Ya know how when little kids get in trouble and try to justify what they did like they had no choice? And the parents call bs on them how they always have a choice.
Everyone had a choice in the election. Those that chose trump chose trump. No one held a gun to your head. There's no explaining away, there's no asterisk on your ballot. You voted who you voted for and it's no one's fault but your own.

Even if Hillary hadn't been the DFL candidate, with the likelihood of Russian meddling, and an obvious gerrymandering problem in some states, no one can guarantee who would've won, with EC being the deciding factor, rather than the actual vote count.

Without Hillary we wouldn't have had the "anyone BUT Hillary DEMOCRATS" that voted for Trump. That's what won him the election. Hillary was such a poison to the Democratic party that Democrats voted for Trump just so it wouldn't be her that won. I can't think of any other possible Democrat candidate that Democrats would have switched sides ( especially to vote for someone as repugnant and vile to Democrat sensibilities and positions as Trump is) against. Not shown up and voted for the Democrat... maybe. Switch sides and vote against? That's a Hillary phenomenon.

I remember all of them. Remind me though... which one of them was on the Presidential ballot in November? I don't remember any of them being on the ballot in November. And yes... that (the primaries, and Trump winning the party nomination) might be classified as "the grenade"... but who pulled the pin? A grenade can sit in a box for decades without causing any damage whatsoever... but when you pull the pin, that's when the destruction begins. ("and others" is kind of vague... and irrelevant as we all know that this country hasn't grown up enough yet to elect someone that's NOT a Democrat or Republican... yet) ETA: for the record, I would have voted for Hillary if the option had been Cruz. I'm in the "anyone but Cruz" camp.

Sadly, we can't even wait until the victims are identified before we're back to "but Hillary!" and the stupid denials & distractions. A racist nazi mowed down protestors and killed an innocent woman. Nazi & KKK websites are attacking the victim & praising trump for not condemning them & promising more violence & more attacks. But Hillary! Our president can call our IC Nazi's but can't call actual Nazi's that word. Posters here and trump screamed about how President Obama wouldn't say "radical Islam" and now our "president" refuses to call out obvious, self proclaimed Nazis and KKK members. Whose leaders go on camera & say for fact that they are doing it for trump & because of trump. But Hillary!
No respect at all, none. But it's no longer surprising, just expected from certain places.

Before "the stupid denials & distractions" can occur though, the stupid false accusations and inflaming rhetoric must first be made. If you want the denials and distractions to stop... how about putting an end to the false accusations and inflaming rhetoric? Without false accusations, no denials are necessary. Without inflaming rhetoric, distraction is unnecessary.
