Wardlow? Can't say I approve of his proposal. It doesn't make any sense to fire lawyers who haven't done anything wrong.

That is a fringe minority. calling for violence is wrong and I and many I know do not condone it.


By your logic, those "Republican fascists" are also "fringe minorities", eh?

Admit your bias, it is quite obvious which side of the river you stand on.

Knock it off. The acts of violence by the left are Over-exaggerated, just to scare conservatives into believing the lie liberals are all out to get them.

Which side is running Nazi's and bigots? Which side is calling the cops on black people for cooking or canvassing while black? Which side tells non white people to speak english, get off the bus, or go back to their country? Its not mine.

Steve Scalise being shot at by an activist is "overexaggeration"? Are you laughing at my face or what?

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

A known history of violence does not excuse the fact that he was supposedly anti-Republican and anti-Trump.

1. Socialist and SJW aren't bad words. Also it was conservatives calling the cops on black people not liberals. The left doesn't want to censor you or disarm you. Stop the fear mongering.

2. Deregulation caused the 2008 crash and will cause another.
