Btw, that Buffalo shooter killed all those Black folks at the grocery store and not much transpired out of that. Ditto for the Charleston mass shooting. Both of these were literal racially motivated mass shootings that killed Black people and no "race war" happened.

So, I have a hard time believing that Trump's election could result in something like that, especially since Trump himself condemned those types of attacks a long time ago and disavowed David Duke's endorsement of him.

You're getting too paranoid my man. You need to get off the Internet and smell the roses. A race war is the last thing on the average Joe's mind right now in contrast to the economy, inflation, gas prices, wars, illnesses, media bias, social issues, etc.
LOL @ black folk barely owning legal or should I say illegal guns.

The sad reality is the fact that both incidents resulted out of some white person's hatred toward innocent black people trying go about their daily grocery shopping and worship their God.

How many black shooters are going into white grocery stores and mass shooting white people or going into places of worship to shoot white people too?

I am not paranoid or getting paranoid. I am simply stating something that could happen, and it's striking a chord. I am loving it.

*I am not a Trump supporter and hope he doesn't run again. Either way, it will not result in a civil war. This is beyond foolish. America will not be destroyed either. Sorry!

I reply to any posts that catch my interest, such as your ridiculous OP. They come from people of every race. When I point out nonsense like yours, you should be able to defend your position without leaning on a race card. It demonstrates an inability to support your assertions!

I didn't recall the post about your son. I remember it now. You are the teacher who encouraged his son to fistfight. As if there is no other way to deal with the issue. Weak!

It sounds like you have a good life. I sure do and enjoy my time on CD!

Since you obviously resent my words, try listening to GuitarHero45 (above). He knows exactly what I tried to convey.
I never assumed you were a Trump supporter. I don't know where that came.

To say that I told my son to Fistfight again is a bigoted biased response by a person like you who thinks that black people only use violence to solve their problems.

Either you don't want to believe that my son was repeatedly bullied, picked on, and violently punched (I rather say almost assaulted).

He went to his teacher (like a responsible kid who has both black parents in his house); the teacher didn't do anything. He stopped wanting to go to school.

My wife asked him why. He told her why. My wife called the teacher. The teacher said that she had not noticed any kid hitting or bullying our son, and therefore brushed my wife off as if it was not a big deal.

Here's a short back story. We could have used the race card because his big brother and my older son were at the same middle school. To make this short, this kid said that he had never had a black friend, yet he got mad when my oldest son became popular at the middle school for, I guess, just being a cool kid and popular with everyone. Therefore, he told his little brother to bully and punch my younger son because he didn't like the fact that my older son was now the new popular black kid on campus of only 302 black students enrolled in the entire school district at the time.

So, when my son continued coming home crying, and not wanting to go to school. We told him to defend himself, and you call that a fist fight? Again, my wife called and spoke to the teacher and told her that our son didn't want to go to school and started crying. The teacher brushed it off.

Again, what was interesting about it. It just shows another bias against black kids in school. However, the teacher saw my son hit this kid back. But she never saw the kid bullying or hitting my son. Hummmmm?

Trump isn’t worth the energy it would take to hate him.
There is hate. I still see people sharing their hatred of him. So those who are still spewing their hatred should be told that.

Simple. Take things that were said and twisted them. You know, the media is pretty darn good at that. Trashing POW's. He trashed McCain.
I personally know very well how the media twists things for their own agenda.

Well, the majority of licensed gun owners in the country are White regardless of how many Black people legally own guns.

Also, you sort of missed my point. Both of these incidents could've been seen as declarations for a so-called "race war" yet it never escalated to that level. It also makes the concept of a "race war" weird because it suddenly seems to revolve around isolated attacks as opposed to an organized battle.

And I doubt it'll happen because Trump's biggest fans AND haters are both White. Any "war" that escalates with Trump's reelection will likely not involve race at all but just your usual political tension with non-Trump fans protesting, crying, and making a fuss over him.

Still flinging insults!

It is bizarre that you are trying to relive that old thread here. He's an adult now right? It is off-topic and what, 8-10 years old? Are you hoping that I will now agree that you, as a parent and teacher, were correct in telling your child to hit another one? Ain't gonna happen.

How surprising that Guitarhero45 made the same points I made, but you didn't accuse him of being a bigot. I wonder why? What could be the difference?

I will see whose on the ticket in November and make a decision. I am not sure if i will revote for him again. depends on who is running.
People are just forgetting the elephant in the room. This hearing is not just about holding him responsible the the Jan 6th riots, and interrupting a US government process. Its about seeing he cant hold office again. Thats where this is going. Run again. He wont even be allowed on the ballot as per the criminal code he violated while in office. That will be the findings of this hearing to be sent to the DOJ.

18 U.S. Criminal Code § 2383 - Rebellion or Insurrection.

'' Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.''

The definition could be applied at any protest or resisting arrest or riot against the U.S. Government and against the laws in the books which include the police. Rebellion and insurrection charges are rare because of protection of free speech.


That's why it's more common in giving trespassing charges or destruction of public property or resisting arrest.

They are going to hold more hearings in September? If it wasn’t obvious before, it sure is now that they want to influence the mid-terms.

They'll steal any election they can....any dishonest and unprincipled way they can....while the interests of average Americans never come near their radar. The very concept of "earning" votes is comedy to them.
