This thread is moronic, as if we're going to start blaming any political side, left or right, for these nut jobs who decide to go out and murder others, but just for the sake of balance, you folks on the right ought to think twice before you start pretending that violence is something only perpetrated by nut jobs from the left...

Is this case of violence recent enough for everyone?

Two men were killed and another injured after trying to protect Muslim women from being harassed on a tram in Oregon, triggering calls for Donald Trump to speak out against racism.

‘Brave and selfless’ men murdered trying to protect Muslim women being harassed on tram

Christian is a known white supremacist who attended a right-wing "March for Free Speech" on April 29 in Portland, The Portland Mercury reported.

He brought a baseball bat to the march to assault left-wing protestors with, which was later confiscated by police.

They are losing their minds. They can not deal with the fact he beat Skankles ass. Those who were destroying the nation lost and can not stand it that they have had their agenda set back a decade. Sorry but these idiots are insane.

Dear Trumplings:

Time to stop living in the past. The election was last year and tRump has now been tripping over his own tweets for nearly 5 months. Remember, Dems are powerless and irrelevant. The GOP controls EVERYTHING. All that happens is theirs to own.

Update: Your so-called prez is now under investigation for obstruction of justice. Probably other things as well. His administration is a chaotic leaderless mess.

Tired of "winning?"

If an independent counsel is investigating you, there's a good reason for it.

Nobody's "losing" except the American people because we have people in positions of power that seem to be unable to recall stuff like when they met with Russians or that they tried to shut down investigations by the FBI.

You know, that sort of pesky thing we should all ignore and get on with the MAGA, right?

LOL.

I'm not angry. I'm amused.

Jeremy Joseph Christian held extremist views, posting neo-Nazi, antisemitic, and far-right material on social media, as well as material indicating an affinity for political violence. Christian described himself as a white nationalist. In April 2017, Christian wrote, "I just Challenged Ben Ferencz (Last Living Nuremberg Persecutor)(sic) to a Debate in the Hague with Putin as our judge. I will defend the Nazis and he will defend the AshkeNAZIs [a reference to European Jews]". He had praised Timothy McVeigh in an online posting on April 19, the anniversary of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing; he also "posted conspiracy theory memes from the right-wing Alex Jones Channel". The Oregonian noted that Christian made many contradictory Facebook posts, but that such contradictions are typical of extremists; his posts "reveal a comic book collector with nebulous political affiliations who above all else seemed to hate circumcision and Hillary Clinton". He at times expressed support for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, although he wrote that he did not vote.

But again my point is not that the right wing perspective necessarily breeds violence any more than from the left. These crazies should not be used to represent anything but crazy, and anyone who thinks radicals from the left are anymore scary than extremists from the right is also a little crazy.

I've got to wonder about anyone who in the same comment notes the American people are "losing," and in the same comment also adds they are "not angry" but "amused."

What does it take for people to feel angry about what is happening to us, the American people?

Or maybe this is another indication that enough Americans are just well enough off to become for the most part apathetic about what is going on around us, in government. Or maybe it's the sense of hopelessness.

I think that might be it for me...

This looks pretty damned hard core to me:

And what EXACTLY is happening to "us Americans"? How exactly has your life changed for the worst since Trump got into office? Did you become homeless? Did you lose your job? Are you starving? Do you still have your car? Are your kids still attending school?

Why are you angry?
