I saw at NASCAR over the weekend.

A preacher with the invocation calling for god to, and I quote, "Protect President Trump's war-chest"

They push their viewers to the verge of stochastic murder daily so that they can push their candidates and ideology onto them in a weak, scared, desperate, and accepting frame of mind. They assault their senses and sensibility and reprogram their brains into this bunker mentality where they think if they don’t shoot up a DC pizza joint that Hillary’s army of child slave runners will steal all the white kids off their block.

The right wing is fucking evil.

what I posted above.

Only PoC can be terrorists in the USA.

White radical right wing terrorists are labeled as 'fine people' by that evil bastard in the white house.

to the point that I wonder what is going on. How many people here are really that ignorant? There's a whole group here hitting this divisive, demoralizing anti-American note. Where'd it come from originally and why are you spreading it, here or anywhere?

Also, this is a forum for supporting Democrats, and your post seems to be accusing Democrats of persecuting POC as well. We not only have lots of people in government, elected, appointed, and employed, but we're Americans in the "USA" and we have controlled various parts of the government in the past. So when you accuse the "USA" of this behavior, you are accusing us.

Should have used the smile for it.

and was referred to as such...Why anyone would be trying to make this hideous event about race is beyond me.

The people who died in Las Vegas are being used as an excuse to openly attack the United States. Here, on DU!

I just woke up from a nap, so maybe I missed some news or something, but I'm not sure what you mean...Who are "they,"?

by a white man has turned into an outrageous example of injustice toward PoC? The excuse: That (before even an investigation could even be started) the white man wasn't labeled a terrorist. This is being pushed with the completely dishonest mantra seen in a number of threads claiming that in America "Only PoC can be terrorists." Again, out of nowhere, divisive, demoralizing flames shoot up.

If we go look, we're was going to find it's broken out all over social media. So for "they," I'm thinking Russia. But since it primarily is obviously intended to affect cohesion on the left, it could also be coming from professional right-wing American troll operations.

Thank you.

It's utterly disgusting when people take a tragedy to twist it to make their own political points. Smh.

That IS the effect of these murders being played up and argued as racial injustice on DU , filling almost all time on MSNBC, and CNN, and no doubt far beyond. PR and VI barely given a mention at the bottom of the hour.

Given the effect, we really should be looking for the cause and the motive. But we mostly know the latter, don't we?

Sadly, I expected this here on DU.

on Trump and this Fox 'news' nation we all are taking cover in today.

Especially in a jury situation, you might get hidden due to the lack of understanding.

Consider, for example, how RWers hold the entire Muslim world responsible when one of its radical adherents becomes a suicide bomber.

It's pointing out how badly POC are portrayed by the RW and how white terrorists are instead simply "mentally disturbed".

This should be obvious.

that you're missing.

macho outlaw culture, where raising hell is seen as a virtue?

Those questions are always asked of the brown killers n/t

this morning, but didn't post it because of the people like the ones who posted here who don't understand that it's sarcasm.

I wouldn't think anyone on DU would believe the poster believes people of color are the terrorists. But, alas, they need to have the sarcasm smilie. Then again, people get outraged about misplaced punctuation.......

Why haven't his community and country's leaders spoke out against this? Are they implicitly supporting it?

Profile wealthy accountants! Anyone with multiple houses and planes!

Every single person who resembles his physical appearance is suspect. It's in their blood. These people might seem nice to your face to win your trust until that one fine day when they get you. You can't trust these people!

I knew a crotchety old man once. He was an asshole too. Most of them are! Even if some of them might be fine people, why take a chance on safety?



As for the ISIS connection, they definitely forbid gambling and self inflicted gunshots. If it turns out there is no connection then ISIS will lose all credibility for taking credit for stuff they didn't do.

I'd ban travel from his COUNTY.

only partial

And so what if he wasn't a church goer, we all know that terrorists are radicalized online these days, and the imams are active on Breitbart, Infowars and Fox.

see what they really are talking about amongst themselves. We need to investigate to know now, & its not an invasion of a private community if it means we are all safe

Unfortunately, sarcasm never carries well on a written forum without a proper label.

he owns three rifles and 4 handguns and has a concealed license (we're in PA). When he woke this morning, I had the news on & updated him on what happened. The first words out of his mouth were, "they've got to stop letting crazies get guns."

Someone probably makes and App for that. Scale of 0 thru 10.

Answer: Oh yeah....he doesn't HAVE to. In fact, GOP politicians are working three shifts to MAKE SURE he doesn't have to.

Gun Store owner, or gunshow guy asks himself the following questions.

"Is it a red flag that this obviously unhinged guy is buying five Bushmasters and five AK47, and 25 magazines of ammunition? YES! I'll have to ask him a question..."

"Do you have $10,000, Sir?"

Ans: "Yes."

"Alright, it's a deal!"

If somebody owns a dozen semi-automatic assault rifles, which can easily be converted into full auto, that SHOULD normally raise a red flag for law enforcement. But the right wing politicians in Washington are MAKING SURE they'll NEVER know. No national registry. No records required for re-sale or straw man purchasers. No records AT ALL for gun show sales. Laws banning resales of guns to criminals that are IMPOSSIBLE TO ENFORCE. They have to PROVE that YOU KNEW they were going to use the gun for criminal activity. No mind-reading machines yet available.

And finally, yes....the first thing the GOP did when they got into power wasn't to repeal and replace Obamacare, or lower taxes. THE FIRST THING THEY DID was repeal the law preventing NUTCASES from buying guns.

...the NRA would make it a crime against the gun seller for blowing the whistle.

My folks died several years ago. They were a (very) old white man and woman. And considered "leftists".

We don't all "stick together". Mom marched Selma to Montgomery. But a wall around Repukes would work for me.
