Some horrible crime is committed against a white victim -- implicitly but not necessarily by a black person--and they wave it around like the proverbial bloody shirt all-caps-ing "Where's Al Sharpton?! Where's Jesse Jackson?! Why aren't they marching? Why aren't they all over the media decrying this?".

Naturally, simply reading the new reports indicates that the police acted promptly and professionally, did what they're supposed to do and acted the way they're supposed to act. Just like with the anthem-kneels, they can't or won't wrap their heads around what the issue actually is.

So Trump doing a variation of the same thing will be worn as comfortably as an old, favorite tee-shirt.

I have found the best op authors on this board make it clear what point they are making and make it clear what it is they are posting about. The best op authors understand that some duers may be at work, or in a hospital waiting room, out gardening, driving somewhere, at the store...any number of places.

After about a month (I think) of being separated. It was gut-wrenching. I was in tears and totally lost it.

The piece of shit tweets that it is all phony and fake and nothing but a Democrat election ploy.

David Axelrod was on as a commenter and he was crying too.

This is powerful stuff. As said on 'Morning Joe' this morning, donald has blown it. He's jumped the shark.

Godwin said that arguments over the Internet will go back and forth and eventually devolve to the point where someone, with no other recourse, will start comparing the person they are arguing with to Hitler.

He was never talking about discussion of actual Nazi behavior. Where white supremacists get together and hold rallies with tiki torches. Godwin himself has said that it was okay to call these people Nazis. They ARE Nazis.

His followers/believers will lap it up and re-spew it, ad-infinitum, no matter how often they are presented with actual facts (which will immediately be called 'fake news', if it doesn't fit their warped views).
