While hilarious, the Christian cultists have made it clear it doesn’t matter what he does, they are with him. This will be over their heads and off their radars.

Re: The civil unrest thread
Let me try to briefly tell you what an outside observer is seeing as the misinformation trend on social media. The narrative (sorry ‘neck) is beginning to take hold that 1). The cities where protests continue are democratically controlled so democrats are obviously almost as bad as republicans. 2). Voting doesn’t matter because this is happening no matter what party is in power.
If you don’t think these are narratives being pushed by Russia, or Russia-type propagandists, including the Trump campaign, you’re nuts. They don’t give a shit if you vote for them, they just want you not to vote. They have their solid 40% that’s going to vote for them no matter what. So if you don’t vote, they win. That’s what they are counting on. So don’t let motherfuckers push this propaganda.
There is an absolute difference and voting is necessary.
I god damned hate social media.

Good stuff.
Speaking of social media, saw Candace Owens post about trashing George Floyd is trending #1 on Facebook. What a garbage dump that site is.

Re: The civil unrest thread
so.. apparently now the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator is building a wall around.. himself?
he promised the racist bigots they'd get their wall and now he's kinda like 'fuck it.. y'all are on your own'.

President Donald Trump is trapped inside the White House, as a tall and imposing wall is erected around him, and prison guards stand watch.

Perhaps the hard core cultists, but his behavior this week really pissed off the Episcopalean and Catholic leaders. I know they're quite a bit different from the Evangelicals, but in trying to be President Christianity, he's offending big segments of Christians.
Simultaneously, he was pissing off current and former military leaders unlike ever before.
Really not a good couple of days with two segments that he absolutely needs on his side.

check this out, a mainstream media personality dressed up in Army gear and marched with the military so they could get some inside reporting..

"I watched bottles and bricks and rocks be thrown at us throughout," Hegseth said. "This was a violent anti-cop, anti-American riot at many levels that would have gone much further without the additional federal support."

He is a retired Army National Guard officer, so it's fine that he put on the uniform. I don't really believe much of what he said since he lies for a living and is overall gross human. No, really, he is gross. He once claimed on air he doesn't wash his hands so he is immune from sickness.
Oh yeah, and this...

Re: The civil unrest thread
The narrative is “Anti-American”.
Any form of protest against the status quo (Policing, civil rights, income inequality) is anti-American ergo Donald Trump’s second term is the only thing that can save us.

I'm sure he's an idiot. And I'm not at all surprised that the mainstream media would hire some former military mercenary to infiltrate Antifa live on camera.Turtleneck wrote:Robert J Sakimano wrote:check this out, a mainstream media personality dressed up in Army gear and marched with the military so they could get some inside reporting..

Master of spectacle, and grabbing attention. He's going to say crazy shit from now until the cows come home. His other line about being in perfect shape was just horse shit.

the Mayor of DC (who has two things going against her from a MAGA perspective: she's black AND a woman) just renamed the plaza in front of the White House - "Black Lives Matter Plaza".
well done, Mayor.

Re: The civil unrest thread
This makes me happy for a couple of reasons.
1. Macomb is pretty conservative politically
2. That part of Macomb is not particularly diverse in terms of black population. (~ 8% vs. ~ 13% for Oakland)
I know there has been stuff in Troy, which also makes me happy, but Troy is pretty liberal, especially socially, and also extremely diverse.

This is very close where I live, and has been listed as a march all this week. My concern now is the stupid Shelby twp chief police. He had a troll twitter account that was linked to him. The shit he said wasn’t good. So I could see shit getting bad because of him.

To any poster that considers going you should look at the shit that has gone down at other protests in the 'f the police thread'. I'd seriously go with safety equipment on. You should expect to get gassed, hit or shot at with a rubber bullet. Hong Kong protestors show up prepared, and I've seen enough the police are coming to these ready to fight.

As a Shelby Twp resident, Chief Shelide has become an overnight embarrassment. He needs to fired for conduct unbecoming. Fuck his apology.

Re: The civil unrest thread
There was one at Troy Athens tonight. I would have taken my 10 year old in a heartbeat if we had been home but we were across town at my parents. Troy police are by and large awesome. Wife saw lots of folks from our kids school were there on FB. Bummed we couldn't join them.

Yeah, CNN or MSNBC showed this last week (pointing out who was really behind it) because Donny Junior supposedly fell for it and tweeted it to show what a terrorist organization Antifa is.
I say "supposedly", because it is hard to be sure if he really fell for it or knew who was behind it and that's why he tweeted it.

Anyone that peacefully opposes this totalitarian regime is cool in my book.
The violent Antifa members can go to war with the Boogaloo boys. You signing up Pantry? You've been creaming in your pants for a civil war for quite some time now.

You understand that 73% of violent extremist acts that resulted in deaths since September 12, 2001, have been carried out by right wing groups, correct? (this is a US government number).
And of course, without a doubt, you understand that where the members of antifa come from and who recruits them has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that white supremacists faked a tweet by them to make them look bad, correct?....and that Donny Jr fell for it (if we give him the benefit of the doubt that he is merely dumb and didn't know the real origin even though it had been reported for days).

I'm proud to be anti-fascist.
(I don't even know what Antifa is, but if racists hate them, they're cool in my book).
