    As for being professionals I remember at least one being sent back from Columbia during the Obama administration because of a ruckus arose at a party over an agent not paying a prostitute.

    wasn't a conspiracy theory, that was what actually what happened. conspiracy theories are usually some alternative explanations for what happened, often unsubstantiated or based on flimsy evidence.

    You sound like a Republican talking head trying to sound reasonable while bashing the man. Minister Malcolm preached about self-defense. He never told his listeners to attack anyone.

    If you can't understand (and then articulate as tho you understand) the difference between an attack and self-defense, then you need to ask a person of (physical and mental) color and take notes rather than statements. You don't have any idea what you're talking about, and your obsession with regulating Black responses to White atrocities thru quietly whispered calls for compliance shines thru like a floodlight in a gulag.

    You want change, but you don't want to feel uncomfortable (dismissing Minister Malcolm as violent is maybe the stupidest thing that's ever come from your keyboard). We've heard that before from your demo. "Fight but don't trample my begonias, and don't disturb me when I'm watching my soaps". smmfh

    No, you're not Black, and you need to begin to think about listening first before you say things about any Black political figure

    Then you are a cancer, as you bounce back and forth between supporting justice and supporting injustice. Being liberal doesn't dehumanize anyone, which is the most important thing a nation's citizens can avoid.

    your continued attacks on the innocent and helpless, @soccernutter

    Minister Malcolm lived from 1925 to 1965 facing a level of discrimination your Daryl Gates town living self can't even begin to comprehend. Yet you persist in asking him to defend himself against his contemporaries- the likes of Dynamite Bob Chambliss and J.W. Milam and Bobby Frank Cherry-- with nothing but words and protests. That wasn't the era he lived in. Dr. King was able to neuter Black power and be "successful" because of Minister Malcolm.

    White conservative warriors like Dylann Roof take advantage of your calls for nonviolence, and sacrifice themselves to tally up massive victories in this culture war.

    Someone will be along soon enough to write a long screed from his or her White POV, either in an attempt to dismiss Malcolm or to support you. I called it.

    Those were actual conspiracies. They were not altogether plausible things which actually happened and resulted from secret or semisecret plans by groups of people. And when did this turn to a discussion of "conspiracy theories." It started as a derision of "conspiracies" didn't it?

    There's a photo circulating of someone wearing a fresh tat of the pumped fist image. I can't say it's real (I don't have any ink, and I'm no expert) but if it is, it proves yet another thing I've been saying here.

    President Biden is saying more than he needs to. Just quickly condemn the shooting and move on. He needs to remember what would have been said had he been the target and Trump the incumbent.

    What you can certainly say is no alternative candidate has such a celebrity brand and fanbase attached personally to him as opposed to the party.

    That is the thing that is unique. A new candidate would not have the same control over the party

    Blue MAGA is real

    A number of the hashtag resistance types who were significant in the Trump presidency went right off the rails in recent years - especially Sarah Kendzior

    As many of you know, I have an evangelical background and know the various end-times teachings that are popular in some circles (think of the Left Behind series, as one example). Yesterday's assassination attempt brought to mind one of the core aspects of that end-time theology, as expressed in Revelation 13.



    One could really have fun with that, given how they are now constructing their narrative about the orange fascist.

    I think they'd take issue with the potential for an outer ear wound to be fatal. Then they'd start in on your idea of blasphemies...

    There isn't any way to poke fun WITH these people, in their presence. They will always find a way to argue.

    No you're not. Or you're completely obtuse. Your statement and supporting Trump are mutually exclusive. We know which choice you are making.

    You'd never get there. Your views would be known before you got two interviews into the shit.

    The kind of guys who get that far into military type shit don't have any personal values that can't be reshaped by the job they have to do. There's a very nonpolitical, almost centrist streak once they decide to make it a career, even or maybe especially the Black ones. even after the Black ones get out, they're not the same. They have a belief in the overall goodness of this country and in the Constitution that boggles the mind. FWIW, they don't help themselves by allowing his head to be visible. That just gives the shooter a chance to think he can take a successful shot.

    That said, I made a similar remark during the Obama campaign and was criticized by someone whose username I would give a month off my life to be able to remember, now that the whole Mike Pence thing was unveiled.

    I'm guessing being a dual national would eliminate me immediately from consideration.

    The same Congress that held the SS to account for the insurrection? The same SS that deleted all incriminating evidence and refused to cooperate?

    Yeah I won't hold my breath.

    And not for nothing, but I'm always annoyed when a white guy pulls a gun it's a "lone wolf" assumption but when a black guy does, it's a conspiracy and uprising and a harsh crackdown is needed assumption. See one of the more recent examples of the cop killers during BLM.

    Biden is not Trump and won't act like Trump in anyway, He is a decent man, and has cross over appeal. That is why I will be voting Biden even if he cannot talk nor walk. That is why I will be so pissed if he gets replaced
    Trump is not and should not be the standard for the country I want to live in
    We need more Bidens on both side and less Trumpism

    The most insane thing about this is how unsurprising it was to me when I found out. Of course.

    I guarantee 2A will be one of the things the fascists come for

    I don't know about that.

    But if Trump states that you have to donate to the Republican party, or be a registered Republican to own firearms and the rubes go for it, we are truly screwed. I think the only thing most Trump supporters love more than Trump is their firearms.

    The cognitive dissonance to say "yeah the Constitution says we can own firearms in an organized militia, and now we're enforcing that to include only Republican-sponsored militias" would... actually... seem relatively on brand.

    I said something similar to a high school friend on Facebook a few years back. Ammosexual dipshit that was always talking about Texas seceding. I asked how long into the post secession liberal insurgency did he thing the government of the republic of Texas would allow him to keep all his guns?

    BTW - I think you’re wrong. They won’t come after everyone’s guns. Just people like me. How will they know? Voter registration and neighborly narc-ing.
