Now that's funny. He wasn't suggesting that Kane was trying to sell "out Raleigh",
Rather he was suggesting that Kane was "selling out" ("sell one's soul) Raleigh.


I'm not offering an opinion on if he was or was not trying to, I just had a chuckle at the understandable misinterpretation of words. Funny!


Same words, totally different meaning.

The sign doesn't say which year lol

The fact the sign "repulses" someone probably had its intended effect.
With all due respect, anyone who sees it knows what year it refers to and it was not 2016. I can see why the sign was a visual nuisance. I do not agree with destroying it, however.

I bet he'll have a much more visually appealing sign "IF" the subject of that sign is convicted and sent away. (I doubt the latter will ever happen, as much as they want the legal system to apply equally to all, they really don't want it to apply at all to "him".)

A picture of Orange man in Orange jumpsuite on a Green lawn. Lot's of secondary colors.

Meh..."visual nuisance" or "likely accurate '24 prediction", either way, I do hope the very "tolerant" Democrat perp learns you don't shut people up and destroy their property just because you disagree with their free speech.

Orange and green are pretty colors, no doubt about it. Two of my favorites. Gotta go with black and white in this one though. Video of the Tolerant Lefty Cyclist burning a Trump sign on private property, while wetting his spandex in the process? Viral around the world? Absolutely priceless.

Trump lost the election in 2020. There were dozens of court cases, decided by members of his own party and judges he put on the bench, that confirmed his loss.

Again, I disagree with destroying someone else’s property, no matter how utterly ridiculous it is.

I never said he DIDN'T lose the 2020 election

The arson dude got his spandex panties in a wad and JUST-COULDN'T-ALLOW-THAT-SIGN!!!! lol. What it says on the sign is irrelevant. What matters is some democratic activist just decided someone else's political opinion is not allowed to be expressed on private property. And he's on the side of those 2016 folks carrying all those "Resist" signs...but turn the tables on biker guy a few years later, and now he's like "COMPLY! or face my consequences!"

We just can't even make this hypocrisy stuff up, it's crazy!

It's funny, I have not heard one person, left or right defend this guy. He was wrong, and everyone acknowledges that. "JUST COULDN'T ALLOW IT"? and you are attaching that to Dems and calling out Hypocrisy? That is rich.

From the party who lost the election, and their leader's and his followers response was to try to bribe electors to change the result, that didn't work, so they put out misinformation that is documented that they knew was false, that didn't work, so they stormed the capital and threatened the opposition, that ALMOST worked.

People in glass houses.

At least the people on the left are able to condemn the guy who burned the sign.
They (I say "they", as I'm not really part of Team D either) condemned the rioting in cities.
They cancel their own politicians when they misbehave.

Meanwhile in Trumpland, they go after their political opponents for nothing, changting "lock her up", but then defend their leader when he's caught red-handed committing treason, and try to frame it as election fraud or political targeting (Hint, he was a target, but that's what happens when you commit crimes, we'll see if he's found guilty or not.)

From the party that says they want one legal system for all, and then cries like (rhymes with stiches) when it happens to their dear leader.

From the party of freedom, who wants to ban books that tell history, wants to prevent people from legally loving who they love, who wants to target an entire ethnicity as Thugs, Drug Dealers and Murderers.

Please don't talk about hypocrisy. THere is plenty of it on BOTH SIDES. The Dems have their fair share, the Republicans have their share too. But neither party has anything nothing like the Trumpists. They wrap themselves in a flag and then crap all over the constitution, over American Values, and personal freedom.

Just don't!

Our system is broken. Dems and Republicans are definitely a big part of the problem. But having an anti-America snake-oil salesman is not the answer.

While I can understand how patriotism might cause someone to want to burn a sign that stands for everything against America, I'll say again, it was the wrong way to go about it. Get out and vote, hope that Trump is no more successful in stealing the election that he was last time, and get on with your day.

Hypocrisy. LMAO

Don't muddy the water. A picture being worth a thousand words? It's true. It's all they'll need to see in court. Criminal and civil. It's all they've needed to see the world over. This "patriot" on film is nothing more than an intolerant wacko commiting petty vandalism on private property, becoming so aware of his own stupidity that he's literally wet his pants. It's indefensible. Literally. The only variations of this reality are taking place in an obscure North Carolina discussion forum. It's true though, one cannot make this stuff up.

For once we agree. (Not sure about wetting his pants, and that is not really relevant, but the rest of your post is spot-on. ) "intolerant wacko commiting petty vandalism on private property" <--correct
