President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The broad brush is your go-to tool nine times out of ten, and most of those posts are not regarding antifa.

 

I am guessing he may bring up the shark on the highway that he saw on Fox News yesterday.

 

Exiles on Pennsylvania Avenue: How Jared and Ivanka Were Repelled by Washington’s Elite

What is off-putting about them,” one political veteran told me, “is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance. They think they are special.”

 

The Cajun Navy did invade us.

 

Is assault unwanted violence? Yes.

Terror??? Really? When was the last time they committed any act of terror? Bombing? Shot innocents in, oh movie theater/church/school/dance club with a firearm?
Intentionally drove a truck into a crowd to kill an innocent (Heather Heyer)???

I love these examples you throw out, in your case, there are millions of acts of "terror" every day on school yards where people get physically roughed up. Try again.

 

And then he explicitly switched the discussion to "not everyone who is around them."

 

Honest question: Antifa has also been attacking journalists at these events. I can count at least four since Charlottesville. How do many of the journalists on this board feel about that? And to jump ahead of the curve, I am decidedly anti nazi and do not condone their violence in any way. I have seen some, though, defending Antifa violence against the media. Thoughts ?

 

I'm ok with this portion of the violence.

(I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Jesus, get a sense of humor.)

 

The idea that the anarchists are the "enforcers" of the left being pushed by some is laughable. These people are punks who seek out confrontation wherever they can find it. They like infiltrating large demonstrations because it gives them cover.

 

Links?

 

It's violence as a means of achieving their political goals. That's pretty much the definition of terrorism.

Charlottesville: Journalist alleges she was punched in the face in Charlottesville and this one with more details 2 journalists allegedly assaulted by Charlottesville counter-protesters and this with even more details: Reporter punched in face during Charlottesville rally

Richmond: CBS 6 journalist attacked during Richmond protest

Berkeley: Scattered Violence Erupts At Large, Left-Wing Berkeley Rally

Notice, I went with traditional media stories and not the frenzied right wing screech machine reports....

so, again, journalists, what are your thoughts? Is this an example of trying to silence the media or as some have put it "antifa, protecting themselves."
