      If only there was infrastructure for identifying and tracking potential terrorists and criminals.

      Nah, let’s use it for identifying and tracking protesters or police officers’ crushes.

      Agreed! The point of that is so stupid.

      Fun fact stupid used to be a scientific term used for people of lower intellect, as was the term idiot.

      But people got upset and then they changed it to retarded.

      But people got upset so they changed it to special needs.

      But people got upset so they changed it… etc

      Almost as if the words are bad because they are describing something bad?

      No matter what you call it nobody wants to be that. Sorry pearl clutchers, it suck’s that people use it to be mean, but they always will!

    In the meantime, internet chatter between MAGAs are blood libeling liberals and calling for the hunting and execution of liberals, where, in this case, liberals include anyone who is not MAGA.

    Republicans assume that people to the left of them are helpless, because we don’t attack them. Agency is not given to animals, because they can’t fight back. Thus, our lives have no meaning to Republicans.

    If we don’t fight, the delusion of Republican supremacy will never break.

        I go to the range every week now that I am retired. Last Thursday I stopped in a gun store in Marion, NC on the way home. I have sent in there a few times just to look. On the door as you go in is Calvin pissing on Polisi sticker on the door and Trump shirts hanging on display. I am looking at stuff and some old fat fuck is filling out forms. Anyway to make a long story short I asked about the 30 cal machine gun on display and related a story about how the mechanics mounted a huge ass 50 cal on their HUMVEE when I was in Iraq. The old fat fuck into into how Cubans are ingenious on fixing things and how we need to make them the 51st state. The shop owner agreed. I asked, “hey man are you willing to signup and help with that?” The fat fuck said. " yeah sure. " So I just laughed and walked out. I have numerous gun shop stories like that. Usually I will asked, " sounds like you might have served? What unit were you with?" The response is almost always, " I was not in the military." I like to call them chickhawks because they are more than willing to send someone else into the shit but not willing to go themselves.

                  You are ruining his non-point! If it helps, remember, conservatives don’t know what the words they use mean, only how they make them feel. “Killed a Republican” = Leftist…it doesn’t matter that most recent political murders against conservatives were from other conservatives, they don’t do facts. The same with communist or socialism. They don’t actually know what those words mean, they just know “unga bunga feel-bad word make BIGLY MAD!” Once you learn that, it helps debate them more effectively.

              For the record, I don’t think it was for not being right wing enough. I think it was for being the hateful person he was, combined with the shooter being indoctrinated into the violent right-wing mentality and then caring for someone who was a common Kirk target.

        Conservatives have done 90% of the political violence in this country since it’s literal inception.

        “People did riots for BLM once” - cities did not burn down. No one “lost everything” also several right-wing agitators where discovered instigating the start of violence.

        That’s also not “political violence by democrats ” unless your definition of “Democrat” is “anyone who isn’t both white and racist”

        Charlie Kirk was killed by a Republican. Both Trump shooters were republicans. Gretchen Whitmer. January 6th. The Michigan Millitia. Sandy Hook. Trayvon Martin. George Floyd. Oklahoma City. Both Kennedys. MLK Jr.

        Nah kid. Even the DOJ points to the fact that most domestic terrorism in the US comes out of the right. Has been this way for decades. Hell, I recall the white supremacists in the 70’s and 80’s agitating for violence. Seen that shit since I was a kid younger than you.

        Besides, if the right never lies about their percieved foes, the leftists are all limp-wristed, vegan, trans soy boys that aren’t “manly” enough to own a firearm let alone have the balls to point one at another person.

            I am MAGA-passing and ex-military. I most certainly run in conservative crowds and they are far far more hateful and violent than the more liberal groups I attend. Not saying there aren’t lunatic fringes on both sides, but the right has adopted their lunatic fringe as mainstream. Go into any gun shop, shooting range, biker bar, golf course, strip club, rodeo…if it leans conservative and you listen, or initiate more violent rhetoric, it will be met with approval. Do that in a coffee shop, bookstore, bike shop, leftist gun range (we literally have one, it is amazing), or other more left leaning place and try that. Some folks will agree and some will try to run you out of the place.

            Note: I have read history books and fully understand all major positive changes were brought about by violence, so I am definitely a more aggro leftist, but I’m not randomly shooting people or advocating for assassination. I do however bring up that peace isn’t going to work (wrong or not, not debating that here) and I only get shot down by ONE side.

            Even people at my church say “God will smite the sinners(Dems)” as they vote for the human embodiment of the 7 deadly sins and clear machinations of the deceiver turning God’s flock against the righteous path.

            Get help, friend. It is out there.

            You are wrong. Rapeblicans LOVE to celebrate death, especially you. Look at the Iron River. All those guns you sell to Mexican cartels exclusively, so they can kill over 30,000+ innocent unarmed Mexicans every year, add another 20,000+ if we count the forced poverty, the misery, pain and depression an environment like that causes, the suicides, the silent cardiovascular and neurological diseases that that instills upon us. That’s more than 200+ 9/11s every year, just to please Americans’ racism. All so we are filled with fear and work for you for cents an hour, cheap hand labor you can recycle by deporting those who rebel. That’s why you won’t stop it, because you can exploit us and kill us more easily this way. And now you’re pouring your pathetic “expats” into our country to slowly phase us out.

            All funded by your tax dollars, so, to us, there’s no such thing as a “innocent” American, or a “good” one anymore, all thanks to people like you, not dems, not Muslims, not whatever fucking minority you hate, it was you, rapeblicans. You are getting innocent Americans in danger. The worst contenders of it have been rapeblican presidents like George Bush and his pathetic Fast & Furious Operation. We all know rapeblicans are the most obsessed with guns, the most insecure mentally ill pussies that won’t use the 2A when they should.

            And that is just Mexico. Add up all the Latin American and Middle Eastern countries you have meddled and fucked with, heavily influenced economically too, and we are easily looking at millions and millions of innocent people that have died or are living very miserable poor lives which to me is the same as being dead, all in the name of American greed and exploitation.

            Look at the way rapeblicans express themselves about us. You made ICE to torture us in your fucking detention centers. And then you laugh about it, celebrate it, insult us, throw shit at us.

            You know what? It is exactly people like you that have inspired so many Mexicans here to support their local Mexican cartels because they are filling up your children with fentanyl. They are also cutting ties with American suppliers to instead open new relationships with China. They are willing to help them build whatever the fuck they want near the border, like military bases they can use to do whatever the fuck they want to you, little cowards who cannot even put a single name in the Jeffrey Files in jail.

            It was thanks to people like you, rapeblicans, that nobody feels sympathy or sadness for American victims anymore. Remember Otto? The college kid who got tortured by North Korea? Thanks to people like you, I now cheer North Korea myself for that. I understand why they did it. You are a bunch of rabid violent disgusting animals that need to be stopped asap, or else you will end destroying millions and millions of innocent lives with your fucking racism and mental weaknesses.

            “Pro-Life” yet you kill all these millions of innocent hungry poor people, and you don’t care, you celebrate it, you are always giggly about it. Rapeblicans are the most disgusting monsters in this world, and I cannot wait for God to pull another Genesis 6:7 thanks to them. I am not religious, but if you are, what do you plan to answer to God once they ask you “Why the fuck didn’t you kill Donald Trump? He was a fucking pedophile, I gave you the evidence and the weapons to stop the Devil, but instead, you got on your knees and continued sucking his dick like the little submissive snowflake bitch you are. Why? Why didn’t you save all those poor little innocent children sooner? Why? You are going to hell to experience the pain you caused upon others. Even if you were blind to it, I don’t care. You were in the “most powerful and rich country in the world” and you’re telling me you were still too lazy to learn how to love? Fuck that. You are not my child. You are the child of the Devil. You were only born to divide and destroy. The only thing you deserve is to burn for eternity, just like Charlie Kirk is, for having encouraging division among my children over petty imbecile shit like the amount of melanin in their skin.”

            Seriously, fuck you, you disgusting terrorist. You and your terrorist country should be blown by China already. I cannot wait until they replace you with a better and more prude society. We are already willing to give our lives as long as it means your fucking and complete total destruction. All thanks to you and your fucking racism, you disgusting mouth-breathing violent dumb chimpanzee.
