MAGAThread XVI: Raising the Barr

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

correction NYC has its lowest crime rate in decades. You don;t think what he said was racist?

are you sure the NYPD are not just cooking some books when it comes to that?

If you have differing statistics, do bring them forward. Otherwise, your claim is hollow.

[Duhon]

We can't.

There are systems in place to prevent that.

Those systems have failed under partisan pressure.

And now, with the very threat of those systems, Trump.may win again, invalidating the whole processes' purpose.

Which is why the only way out is sustained mass nationwide protests calling for the removal of Trump, Pence, every non-judicial Trump appointee, and Mitch McConnell.

Going off on increasingly irrelevant tangents to cover for Trump's overt racism is a bold move.

no idea where to put this but i figured here would be appropriate.

One less terrorist in the world.
What does sicken me is that there are people - many people - praising this man for his actions, primarily on Reddit and on Twitter.

GEO Group, which runs the 1,575-bed Northwest Detention Center, in an email to The Associated Press said baseless accusations about how detainees are treated at its facilities "have led to misplaced aggression and a dangerous environment for our employees, whose safety is our top priority. Violence of any kind against our employees and property will not be tolerated. We are thankful for the quick and brave action by the Tacoma Police Department, which prevented innocent lives from being endangered."

GEO Group said the detention center in Tacoma has modern amenities with air conditioning, recreational activities, a bed for every individual and medical care available at all hours.

Last year, a federal judge ruled that Washington state could pursue its lawsuit seeking to force GEO Group to pay minimum wage for work done by detainees at the detention center.

Oh fuck off you ghouls. I hope your company is nationalized and burned to the ground just for shit and giggles.

>literal terrorist attack happens

:thinking:

Because obviously, people become utterly immune to all criticism ever once some fuckwit attacks them. That's totally how it works.

Yeah, I saw that. Absolutely stupid.

Wasn't sure you'd say that, given the circles you run in...

It'd be one thing if it was massive civil disobedience to try and shut the concentration camps down, but a single man trying to shoot at it and throw molotov cocktails? Even if I can sympathise with the underlying motivation (y'know, trying to save people from concentration camps), it's madness.

Fair, but elaborate on "civil disobedience" in this context.

>literal terrorist attack happens

:thinking:

The reprehensible nature of the attack has no bearing on the fact that the GEO Group is profiting from concentration camps and shouldn't exist.

It shouldn't be your go-to response.

Literally never said that, but go off.

[San Lumen]

Because it was racist and xenophobic and you dodged by implying NYC was a foreign country and the NYPD cooked the books on crime. Do you think his comments were wrong or not?

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Just thought this reminder would be nice.

Yes. As a citizen of the country he represents you 100% are.

tbh he seems to me to be an average new yorker. Loud, Brash and probably insecure.

[Fartsniffage]

Kinda like you?

and he insulted a congresswoman from New York telling her to go back to her crime infested and broken county. she was born in America

Honestly, I think they just believe every Democrat leaning city is a Mad Max style dystopia. "Statistics" and "evidence" aren't necessary.

scratch the probably and replace with very and yes.

I’m just gonna assume you think he’s racist until you say otherwise, tbh.

Well, remember Gingrich says that feels trump facts.

And that he's okay with it.

Fair, but elaborate on "civil disobedience" in this context.

One thing that many protestors were doing was block the entrances to keep the concentration camp employees from leaving. If their victims can't leave, then neither should they. That was good praxis.

The reprehensible nature of the attack has no bearing on the fact that the GEO Group is profiting from concentration camps and shouldn't exist.

It shouldn't be your go-to response.

Why not?

True. I got criticised for saying Republicans voters seem a little crazy but as far as I can tell, Republican politicians are saying the same thing.

How was it a terrorist attack?

tbh NYC and Somalia are notoriously crime infested.

NYC is not a foreign country.

It is from where I'm posting.

The Simpsons joked about NYC being crime-riddled in the 90s, so it must be true.

Question being, was he opposing the facility or just wanting to Burn Some Beaners down?

That's fair. Just don't block major roadways/any highway, freeway, or interstate; ambulances and firetrucks need to get to their destinations ASAP.

It shouldn't be your go-to response.

Why not?

It shows at the best disinterest, at the worst, sympathies.

How was it not? He used unlawful violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims, that's textbook terrorism.

Quoting ain't doing. I see no mass protests to overthrow "such Government". How long before I see that? Gimme a date.
