Portland shows up to protest Facists including "clowntifa"

Many counter-protesters are dressed in costumes to show they’re not afraid. The first people I met were “clowntifa”



It feels like a circus out here... literally. This puppeteer, Isabel, is marching with their dad. Why wear silly costumes to a protest a Proud Boys rally? “They’re mad that we’re gay and weird. Guess what? We’re gayer and weirder than you could ever imagine.”

AND THE OTHER SIDE:

Proud Boys #PortlandProtest organizer Joe Briggs is asked "What's the message you got across?"

"Go look at President Trump's Twitter. He talked about Portland, said he's watchin' antifa. That's all we wanted."
@realDonaldTrump actively supports domestic terrorists.

"Mental Illness Is The Problem"

GOP leadership to House Repubs:Lie about white supremacist gun massacres-call it 'violence from left

House Republican leadership has sent a memo to GOP members of Congress directing them to lie about right wing white supremacist gun massacres, and to call it “violence from the left.”

The memo, which The Tampa Bay Times acquired, includes talking points for congressional Republicans to parrot when speaking with reporters or constituents. It instructs them on how to address questions about gun violence, including the domestic terrorism recently perpetrated in El Paso, Texas.

If asked a question like, “Do you believe white nationalism is driving more mass shootings recently?” GOP lawmakers are being told to offer this response:

“White nationalism and racism are pure evil and cannot be tolerated in any form,” the document directs lawmakers to say, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “We also can’t excuse violence from the left such as the El Paso shooter, the recent Colorado shooters, the Congressional baseball shooter, Congresswoman Giffords’ shooter and Antifa.”

God has heard your thoughts & prayers & thinks they are fucking bullshit

GOD HAS HEARD YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND HE THINKS THEY ARE FUCKING BULLSHIT
by CHAS GILLESPIE

Hi. God here. I am contacting you in response to your prayers regarding the most recent and totally horrific mass shooting in a college/ high school/ elementary school/ bar/ nightclub/ park/ shopping mall/ concert/ movie theater/ parking lot/ church/ mosque/ synagogue. I have listened to your prayers, America, and I have come to the conclusion that they are cowardly, pointless, and shameful. Your prayers are not helping the victims or their families. Helping potential and actual gun violence victims is a bridge you could have crossed a long time ago, and you chose not to. You pray in order not to feel culpable in horrendous acts of violence. You pray in order to feel good. And for this, I say: fuck you.
