Race in America - Riots Explode in Chicago

[Peter Brown]

You know I think in the end this episode with Trump will bring some good. We will likely see a period of civility and cooperation between real republicans (not Trumpnista culture warrior clowns) and democrats, addressing real issues. You see it today in the cooperation in defeating the one who must not be named, a disagreement over some issues, but at the same time a recognition of respect and love of country on the part of the other. I am hopeful.

No name calling. More subtlety, nuance and truth from you, eh?

Kram,
Are you offended because you think you're one of those "Trumpnista culture warrior clowns"??

Is that how you self-identify?

Petey keeps telling us there aren't any Trumpists (my term for Trump-cult members and apologists) on these threads. He's delusional, but that's our Petey.

No, not offended, nor do I self identify. I didn't vote for Trump and I'm not a huge fan. Just harkening JHU back to a previous conversation the two of us had.

I didn't have you in my Trumpist column either, which is why I was surprised that you keep repeating this.

You keep repeating the same phraseology as if 72 is actually out of line in his descriptors. Seems to be his description is appropriate as distinguishable from the group of GOP folks who are not such "culture warrior clowns".

Still looking for MD to identify the Trumpista's he sees around every post corner. Might be as elusive as that Russiagate thing...maybe Chris Steele has some old buddies who can help here too!

You are a prime example Petey, all hate the Dems all the time, you and your "real Americans"- the proud to be called redneck pals, while giving Trumpy a pass across the board, and for good measure your Trumpist governor.

What most people call a redneck
Ain't nothin' but a workin' man
And he makes his livin'
By the sweat of his brow
And the calluses on his hands
Now you intellectuals may not like it
But there ain't nothin' that you can do
'Cause there's a whole lot more of us common-folks
Then there ever will be of you


Extra credit if you’ve heard this song without googling it.

What a country. And the dems are doing so well with it.

Minneapolis Police informed residents of the city’s embattled 3rd Precinct to prepare for the giving up of their personal belongings to potential robbers and advised them to do as criminals say for their own safety.

According to a July 28 email the Minneapolis Police Department offered “prevention tips” to residents hoping to avoid being a victim of the skyrocketing cases of robbery and carjacking that have plagued the city since George Floyd’s death in May.

“Robberies and Carjacking’s [sic] have increased in our Precinct,” the email begins. “Cell phones, purses, and vehicles are being targeted. Some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and some threatened with a gun. Most of these crimes have occurred north of 42nd St. E. 100 Robberies and 20 Carjackings have been reported to 3rd Precinct Police in July alone. Downtown and Southwest Minneapolis have seen an increase as well. We want those who live and work here to be safe!”

The email goes on to list several tips that citizens can supposedly use to protect themselves, which includes letting criminals have what they want:

Do not walk alone
Be hyper-aware of your surroundings at all times – pay attention!
Carry only items you need, and carry less cash
Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet
Have keys already in your hand as you approach your car
Despite all our efforts, robberies may still occur! Do not argue or fight with the criminal. Do as they say. Your safety is most important!

… like these warnings are something new. Never happened before, anywhere , anytime, and certainly not in a city with a republican major.

... more republican dumb ass-ism.

You know, JHU72, as you belittle the heightened dangers of cities now as Democrat mayors side with anarchists, untold number of people who need to get to work, who like to work, no longer feel safe getting to work. More often than not, these are young ladies of color, of faith, honest people, scared to travel because the cities they live in are no longer safe. This is the real life results you diminish because Orange Man Bad. Disgusting.

YAWN. More blowhard bloviation.

What else is the liberal progressive bloviator going to do but reduce dangerous civil unrest, violence, 100's millions in small business losses, and rising criminality—due to negligence of liberal progressive mayors and governors—to republican dumbass-ism.

Minneapolis looks like Beirut in the 70's. Good on you dems.

The muslims living in minneapolis wanted it to seem more like home I guess.

Portland looks like the Beirut of today. Fireworks warehouse ?

[holmes435]

Portland's been much more peaceful since the Feds left...

As for Beirut, reports are that a bunch of sodium nitrate had been seized a year or so ago and stored in a port warehouse and that was the cause. Some of the videos do indeed look like fireworks going off before the really big boom. We'll see.

Someone in the Lebanese government thought it was a good idea to store 5.5 million pounds (2,750 tons) of explosive ammonium nitrate in a major city like Beirut for six years after it was seized.

As we have learned from Trump and his supporters ... STUPID KILLS.

Just the latest, tragic example.

The right response from Rear Admiral Collin Green who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command.

Navy SEALs Cut Ties with Museum Over Colin Kaepernick Video

DELRAY BEACH (AP) — The commander of the Navy SEALs said the unit will suspend its support of the National Navy SEAL Museum, a nonprofit organization not overseen by the military after videos surfaced online of dogs attacking a man wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey during a demonstration.

“Each and every one of us serves to protect our fellow Americans - ALL Americans. Even the perception that our commitment to serving the men and women of this nation is applied unevenly is destructive.” — Rear Admiral Collin Green

Admirable response from Rear Admiral Green.

Thanks for posting ... brightened my day.

Good to know that we still have military commanders who actually understand what it is that they are sworn to defend.

Of course JHU minimizing the civil dangers imposed by defunding the police goes unnoticed. Indeed.

Nonsense. Its guilty liberal progressive whites at war with the rest of us.

Of course Rear Admiral Green is the same commander who announced his retirement after Trump cut his legs out from underneath him during the Gallagher debacle. This President has a way of driving out the good ones. I believe he’s out in the new year.

Old, but interesting video. Hillary wasn't woke enough. There needed to be a movement! And the left always eats itself.

Respectfully......it is people like you Brooklyn, that propagate the issue, the more you say it, push an agenda, blanket all whites as, ect, etc....it WILL never go away. It is people like you that are part of the problem, and the sad part is that you do not see it.
