Why does it only have to be about who ran over people? Is it really that hard to accept the fact that the radical left are being the most aggressive and are the ones starting riots?

So how many people on the alt-right started throwing things like bricks at people? How many on the alt-right threatened to hurt a disabled veteran? How many people on the alt-right tried to light someone's head on fire for having different opinions? How many people on the alt-right sucker punched someone then ran off like a little pussy?
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Poll shows majority of independents and >95% of Republicans approved of Trump's SOTU address

Around 40-45% of Democrats also approved.

Nope. The tax cuts provide a short term boost to the economy. The question is - will they do long term harm?


Doesn't necessarily have to be that way if managed properly.

Though I agree that neverending tax cuts will in the long term damage the economy.

Could just be people are impressed with Trump managing to talk for over an hour without going off on some mad tangent about how big his button is.

We aren't talking just about murders but violent crime in general which the radical left are most responsible for.

Also, they're responsible for the death of Heather Heyer.
