This is in fact the point. Liberal politicians know that if they sow division the public may turn against Trump in the midterms. Imagine that if you have any common sense. Let’s riot until people become so scared that they put us in charge.

The oxymoron of the century. But this all happened twice before. Once in the early 1900s in Russia and again in China. When extremely stupid people allowed Mass Murderers to take control of the government. All while those with common sense sat by thinking it would all pass.

Hey, don’t pay any attention to the fraud and grift that happened on our watch that we are deeply implicated in, just look at those ICE storm troopers violating our sanctuary city!!!

I wish I had been a fly on the front door of Gates' home that night. I would love to have heard exactly what was said and when. The media narrative about it at the time was very convincing: "Elderly black scholar harassed by police merely for trying to get into his own home." Obama surely used this to add punch to the racial division he was creating.

I do not think this is about getting Trump. I think this is being done on purpose and all the politicians are in on it. They have parts to play. They need people in the streets. They need the population scared out of their minds.

Soon.. Big Daddy will have to fix it.

Palentar to the rescue. The useful idiots won’t know what hit them.

The entire Democrat Party has TDS, so it all about "getting Trump."

If they - the Left - stop this narrative, then they lose - but not just their agenda, they lose the money, they lose their constituents, they lose their freedom, and as for the most part, many of the underlings will go to prison for corruption.

So, you see this to them is life or death. There is nothing more important than getting Trump. With him in office, they lose, without him, they live.

For me it's nothing simpler than that.

Brilliant. The nexus is clarifying.

Philando Castile had a license to carry concealed, so I don't know what you think made him such a dubious character. The cop, though he was acquitted, was fired because the shoot wasn't righteous. Breonna Taylor was killed because of dirty cops, lying on the warrant application and conducting a no-knock raid that was 100% unjustified. They were all fired as well, though they never were truly held accountable.

It was my mistake. I was going by memory and should not have included him.

Leftist / progressive insurrectionism in Minnesota has a long history. Trade unionism's earliest supporters and agitators called Duluth and, later, Minneapolis home. The Scandinavian socialists there organized one of the first branches of the communist party in America.

The IWW (the Wobblies, the "one big union") planted its roots there and spread rapidly to Pittsburgh and the other steel / coal towns in the Mon and Ohio valleys. Clarence Hathaway, Joe van Nordstrand, Eugene Debs, "Mother" Mary Harris Jones ... all had roots in MN, all had strong ties to Russian communism, and all were heavily involved with the early days of unionism in American heavy manufacturing.

Remember that these were the days of charming bosses like Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick, of seven-day, 100-hour work weeks, and of Judge Gary's demands for "open shops" where whispering the word "organize" got a man fired from his $1/day job.

I just was a reference to Mayor Frey below. Will someone teach that slovenly slob that a mayor is expected to put on a tie when he addresses the public? Maybe someone needs to teach him how to tie one?

All legal niceties and controversies aside I am convinced that the fathomless stupidity of going into those days-old, ongoing riots carrying a pistol disqualifies that idiot from any sympathy. What was he doing armed in those circumstances? What did he intend to do with that automatic pistol?

There are a lot of questions to be answered here, by advocates on both sides.

Send Walz, Frey, Ellison and Obama to Somalia. I'm a gonna start a GoFundMe to hire the charter jet.

I wrote about this, in a similar vein, around 10 years ago now. I think I even used the same picture. Completely agree.

Time to invoke the Insurrection Act.
