You Lefties cannot have it both ways.

If the NeoNazi loons, by supporting Trump, make Trump and all conservatives Klan or Nazis, then, according to your own loopy logic, because The Young Jerk supported Hilliary, Hilliary and all Leftists must be loons.
You are wrong on every count, as is typical of the far-right.

Nobody here is loving Hillary. Hell, the reason Hillary is lost is not because Trump ran a good campaign, but because a huge number of progressives didn't vote for her because she, quite frankly, stunk as a candidate. Meanwhile, the far-right blindly supports Trump even to this day.

Additionally, nobody here is supporting these wacky "left wing" extremists, just like nobody is supporting Antifa, or other "left-wing" thug groups. At the same time, right-wingers are standing in line to defend Trump, Nazis, and Klansman while making absurd claims like "The KKK isn't violent."

Right-wingers are ignorant hypocrites, and this thread just adds yet more fuel to that obvious bonfire.

The far-right cannot understand nuanced views. They cannot understand a progressive who says, "That guy is right about some things, but wrong about a lot of things." For the far-right, everything must be an extreme, and they honestly think that "liberals" - progressives - mirror their own hatred and ignorance.

Right-wingers hate gays, so "obviously" progressives must "love gays and consider them better than straight people."

Right-wingers hate non-whites, so "obviously" progressives must "want to get rid of white people."

Right-wingers hate Muslims, so "obviously" progressives must "think Islam is the bestest religion ever."

Right-wingers deny science and climate change, so "obviously" progressives must "want to kill humanity to save a tree" or some crap.

Those on the far-right are unable to see outside of their own narrow, spiteful window on life, and they really do think that "the enemy" - progressives - are just comical, mirror-universe caricatures of themselves. They probably also think we all have goatees, too.

They don't get it. Progressives don't think gays, Muslims, or blacks are "better" - we just don't give a damn about a person's religion, skin color, or sexuality provided they aren't using it as a weapon to abuse others. And, since right-wingers do that crap all the time, that is why we oppose them.

It is the oil and gas industry that has been the major contributor to the Tx. rainy day fund that could be use to rebuild storm damage.

Texas has nation’s largest economic stabilization fund (ESF), commonly called a “rainy day fund.†Ten Billion dollars.

TYT comes up rather often on YouTube searches for all these posters to be saying they never heard of them.

Hmmm...

Who?

I am not grasping the intent of his tweet at first glance...and because I don't know or care who he is I'm not going to try and figure it out.

Come on now -- lots to find on Twitter.....do you folks go looking for every little thing that could be this or that.

MEH -- let's talk about flood zone regulations being eliminated, cutting budgets of the Coast Guard & FEMA and even talk of disbanding FEMA.

That's more relevant right now.

Uh, I said his first choice was Loony Sanders and that after that he supported Hillary. Yes, when there were only two viable candidates, supporting one over the other is... support.

Riiiiight! The Left hates Trump, but, out of principle, they didn't vote for Hilliary?

Get out of here with that nonsense.

None of you are condemning them, either.

Who supports the Alt-Right or any Right wing hate groups? Nobody. That's why they are insignificant.

Never heard of the guy, but looked it up and what he said was that he is horrified by the human toll but not the oil industry toll because he blames them for driving the climate change that is resulting in more extreme weather events.

I don't see what is particularly so incendiary here. He didn't claim that the disaster is God's payback for accepting gays, like a number of your conservative heroes will say next CA earthquake.

That's stupid. Outside of historical refeences to Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Seigel, I never heard of "Young Turks" in my life until this moronic thread. So why would I do Youtube searches for something I never even heard of?

Jesus. You people use the most upside-down, inside-out "logic" I've ever seen. I can't believe the stupid crap y'all think makes sense.
