• Danger MAGA!

    If you were to judge the state of affairs in today’s America based solely on President Biden’s assessment, you might assume the greatest threat to your personal safety is that posed by all those “MAGA Republicans” he so logorrheically denounced
    in his speech to the nation from Philadelphia last week. “MAGA Republicans,” he said, “do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.”

    Such a curious speech it was, with the words inspired by Vladimir Lenin and the cinematography by Leni Riefenstahl. The president mentioned MAGA Republicans 13 times before he finished, with the references growing more and more ominous as he proceeded.
    MAGA Republicans,” he darkly intoned, “look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies – lies told for profit and power.”

    And the viewer was left to think: “Sinister bunch, those MAGA people. I must secure the doors and windows and be on the lookout for them.”



    But if you were to go out on the streets of America today in search of actual acts of violence committed by this group, which the president came just short of labeling as Enemies of the People, would you find any? And when you did encounter genuine
    carnage and despair, when you witnessed actual affronts to the rule of law, which in most cities wouldn’t take long at all, do you think you could attribute any of it to MAGA Republicans?

    Of course not.

    If your senses can bear it, take a few minutes to peruse the Twitter feed from Street People of Los Angeles, one of several feeds where you can find videos, photos, and news stories illustrating the lawless, dystopian depths to which large swaths of
    Southern California have descended. As you watch the videos, ask yourself how many of the people shown committing the various acts of depravity are MAGA Republicans, and how many would be more inclined to vote for Democrats?

    Look closely at the hundreds of videos you can find on the internet of the recent phenomenon of street takeovers in Los Angeles, where crowds converge on major intersections and commandeer them into use as temporary raceways, occasionally leaving behind
    a looted convenience store and even a dead body or two when they move on. Do you see any clothing or bumper stickers betokening allegiance to the MAGA movement?

    And of course it’s not just Los Angeles. Street takeovers, or “sideshows,” have become common elsewhere, Chicago, for instance, where responding police officers routinely come under attack from the mobs. Do you see any MAGA hats or T-shirts on any
    of the people shown committing these crimes, or do you think they’re more likely to vote for the party that’s run that city since the Earth cooled?

    Then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

    Either decide you're going to take the cities back with lethal force (as military/militia operations), do the same for state governments like that in Sacramento, or understand they will be at your door as and when the time requires.

    You need the cities for their infrastructure far more than they need you.

    And keep in mind one more thing: Most of these people you talk about are abjectly unemployable and that gang and organized crime actually DO PAY -- and QUITE WELL.

    Actually, if you attribute party based on race, you'd find that Democrats dominate the perpetrators of violent crime, to the point that well more than
    2 Democrats are murderers for every one Republican.

    I would urge caution if you If you speak out against the Democrats.
    You'll end up with a mob of BLM/ANTIFA thugs on your front
    lawn threatening to burn your house down. They did it to
    Supreme Court Justices and they will sure as hell do it to you!

    Exactly his point, the Democrats turn to violence. MAGA isn't responsible for all the street crime.

    Yeah, more of your blah, blah, blah. You're all talk and no action! You run your mouth endlessly
    about what other people need to do, but you never do squat! If you're so desperate for action,
    why don't you lead by example? In fact, why don't you just shut-up and not make another
    post until you, yourself, have personally done something.

    ROFLMAO! I play a lot of poker and one way to win money from your
    opponents is to put them on "tilt". That is, manipulate them into getting
    angry and emotional - they lose their discipline and analytical ability, and just start playing on out-of-control emotions. And, they end-up losing
    their asses.

    And you, Boyo, are about as easy to tilt as a three-legged pin ball machine. :)

    That's nice. This ain't poker.

    I ever see your face, you better hope you've got the remedy for what used to happen to cheating in poker.

    I want your fucking address, you MAGAt whore.

    One final poker lesson. When the guy is on tilt, flat broke and you've got his money - don't waste any more time on him.

    Irish Mike

    Who doesn't tilt, doesn't use profanity and doesn't threaten
    people he doesn't know.
