Jake,

Reading about Azealia Banks is a welcome respite from from reading about Jay Jones, who is cut from the same cloth as Azealia Banks’ foes:

I’ll humor you.

Unseen,

You didn’t even read my questions, though you did answer them despite yourself.

So, this is the sort of thing that goes on around the ICE facility in Portland. It’s very localized. Portland is not burning. It’s simply the sort of protest that has happened innumerable times in America’s history.

Now, there are circumstances when a governor might want to call in Federal help. One…[Read more]

If the “Blues” are the ones who create the programs that redistribute wealth and the “Reds” are the beneficiaries more than the “Blues”, doesn’t that make the “Blues” dummies?

I suppose it might if the blue states had a way of directly controlling how the red states spend their money. They don’t.

And aren’t the “Blues…

Unseen,

I question the whole premise behind the scenario.

If the “Blues” are the ones who create the programs that redistribute wealth and the “Reds” are the beneficiaries more than the “Blues”, doesn’t that make the “Blues” dummies? And aren’t the “Blues” double dummies if the “Reds” are such bigots?

Portlanders racing out of the city to escape rampaging Antifas, BLMers, and maybe even Hamasers?

Nope. Just the annual Portland marathon going on without a hitch.

I just watched a clip of Trump earlier today condemning the judge who put his militaristic plans for Portland on hold mixed in with the…[Read more]

The problem with blue cities with high crime rates existing in red states is that they are in red states with state governments that don’t feel like helping any part of the state which isn’t white and conservative.

Fellow Unbelievers,

Stay safe out there, especially those across the pond. It can always repeat anywhere:

Robert,

Talk about logical contradictions. Why don’t you research deficit growth (especially relative to GDP) under old school Republican vs Dem administrations over the decades and then tell us why you fell for the “conservative” bullshit like so many others.

Conservative were never really for small government. They were for small taxes for t…

Robert,

And you’ll notice from the Axios article linked above that the Southern States you mentioned have blue cities with high murder rates. So bipartisan bloodbaths anyone?

The states with the highest murder/crime rates year after year in the United States are MAGA central. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. Their small rural towns have insanely high crime rates. Ever drive though rural Alabama? Shit shacks and moldy doublewides covered with MAGA flags. So…

Unseen,

Go to her Youtube channel and browse through her videos looking for a pattern. I think you’ll see what I see.

Look, she does what a lot of right wingers do which is to provide a video to support an argument based on one instance without full context. Was there an assault before the assault? Were inflammatory words exchanged? Is this o…

BTW, we should all be concerned about this deep shift into fascism? (Does this make me Antifa, being anti-fascist?)

Fellow Unbelievers,

A nuance view of Portland. Not calling for the Military, but calling on the City of Portland to restore order:

And another video showing overlap between Antifa and the “Free Palestine” crowd:
