You mean, like the dumb@ss post you made about so-and-so "mentioning" Trump?
Kamala Harris mentioned Trump.
Nancy Pelosi mentioned Trump.
Beto O'Rourke mentioned Trump.
Joe Biden mentioned Trump
Yeah, I see a pattern. A lot of dumb@sses "mention" Trump every GD day, sh!t-for-brains.
It really is. My circle of friends are people of many races who served in the military and have since retired. While we do not agree on all things politically, the things we do are in line with pride in America, arming ourselves, (some have more guns than I), wanting to stop wasteful spending (helping only those help themselves), and equal justice for all including jailing every politician who abuse their position. For starters.
The typical knee jerk reaction without clear and critical thinking as to how to really stop these types of killings.Never let a crisis go to waste.
Not one opposing viewpoint and it's just gavel down done.
New Zealand to ban all assault arms, 'military-style semi-automatic weapons' immediately
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/21/new-zealand-to-ban-all-assault-weapons-immediately.html
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced an immediate ban Thursday on sales of "military-style" semi-automatic and automatic weapons like the ones used in the attacks on two mosques in Christchurch that killed 50 worshippers.
The man charged in the attack had purchased his weapons legally using a standard firearms license and enhanced their capacity by using 30-round magazines "done easily through a simple online purchase," she said.
"Every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on Friday will be banned," she said.
One of New Zealand's largest gun retailers, Hunting & Fishing New Zealand, said it supports "any government measure to permanently ban such weapons."
"While we have sold them in the past to a small number of customers, last week's events have forced a reconsideration that has led us to believe such weapons of war have no place in our business -- or our country," CEO Darren Jacobs said in a statement
Polly Collins, 64, of Christchurch, was thrilled to hear of Ardern's announcement as she visited a flower memorial for the victims.
"The prime minister is amazing," she said. "It's not like in America, where they have all these things and then they go `Oh yeah, we'll deal with the gun laws,' and nothing's done."
ol traitorous songbird McCain. The guy's corpse should be kicked to ashes.
Plus he left his first wife with cancer for another woman
If there is a Hell, I hope he is burning in it
RBG has been spotted!

Thank you, thank you , thank you. There are not enough bad things one could say about Traitor McCain. I would vote for Trump for his telling the truth about John McCain alone. McCain was a snake and back stabber. Thank you Donald Trump for not letting America forget that. Just because a man is dead is not a reason to give him Sainthood when he was the devil in disguise.
But all of this love for McCain by Democrats is phony and we know it.
I think that’s more weight than Obama lifts.
I’ll try my luck. What was this tweet about?
There are several GOP memebrs who were paid by Soros per Wikileaks
John Traitor McCain
Lindsay Graham
Marco Rubio
John Boehner
John Kasich
Jeb Bush
Paul Ryan

So now we have another looney Democrat in the race for President. His platform. No more circumcision. That.s bound to be a winner. Kill babies but don't dare trim the ying yang.. Pun intended.

That name Lindsay Graham. I still don't trust him. Since McCain checked out he suddenly swung to Trump. Based on his past history I am very suspicious.
Four states would control the nation. Who needs states if they are worthless in the Presidential election.
Mexico's not big enough in that picture.
Only it's not knee jerk. Their talking points are ready to go. They're just waiting for the spark to justify taking away your rights.
Let them pack a few more D's on SCOTUS and they'll redefine the 2A so that we can progress to emulate New Zealand and redefine the 1A so that you can't talk back.
That NZ PM did that with their version of executive order. Their legislature will vote on it next month to make it more legit. The gun buy back(confiscation) starts now.
"OMG no one is doing ANYTHING!!! You want NOTHING to be done??? Think of the children!!!!"
I post that^ and looky here, a socialist wants to disarm the populous.
Have fun trying to collect them from the people who already own them.Never let a crisis go to waste.

Why do we want to be like New Zealand, Australia and European nations? We are the U.S. and gun grabbers will soon be open season. Lock and load.
"Andrew Gillum has announced a plan to register as many as 1 million new Florida voters in an effort to crush Trump's reelection chances in the state"
Why don't I see Republicans or republican organizations putting forth these kinds of efforts to counter the Dims? It cost them a shit ton of seats in the house in California because the Dims took advantage of the legal cheating law they passed there to allow Ballot Harvesting.
Beto tries to explain that infanticide is the choice of the woman.
To thunderous applause.
Evil is all out in the open.
Per Dion, our ideas are soooo outdated.

Pretty damning of elite schools & their faculty - if you think rationaly. If you've been brainwashed, probably seems normal.
"...as the authors assert in “The Geography of Partisan Prejudice,” intolerance of political differences is not evenly distributed throughout the nation. A PredictWise poll commissioned by The Atlantic produced results — based, it should be said, on a combination of data and aggressive extrapolation — that Ripley, Tenjarla, and He found “surprising in several ways.” The core finding, contrary to their expectations, was that “the most politically intolerant Americans” lived in neighborhoods that tended to be home to a higher proportion of whites and people who were “more highly educated, older, more urban, and more partisan themselves.” Drawing also on the research of University of Pennsylvania professor Diana Mutz, the authors explain that “white, highly educated people are relatively isolated from political diversity. They don’t routinely talk with people who disagree with them; this isolation makes it easier for them to caricature their ideological opponents.”
The authors are confident that they have discovered a correlation: “Older Americans and people living in or near sizable cities, from Dallas, Texas, to Seattle, Washington State, seem to be more likely to stereotype and disdain people who disagree with them politically.” But Ripley, Tenjarla, and He lament that, based on the social science research, they can’t determine “what is causing what.”
Perhaps the scientific evidence has not yet been comprehensively gathered and thoroughly sifted and analyzed. However, in a parenthetical remark grounded in Mutz’s research, the authors themselves provide a potent hint about causes: “people who went to graduate school have the least amount of political disagreement in their lives.” Although the Atlantic writers overlook the hypothesis, there is good reason to suppose that an important contributing factor to the partisan prejudice disproportionately afflicting denizens of major metropolitan areas is the stifling climate of opinion fostered by, and the politicized education on offer at, America’s top colleges and universities.
According to the interactive map of the distribution of partisan prejudice across the country that accompanies the authors’ article, Middlesex County in Massachusetts occupies the 100thpercentile. That “means that 0 out of every 100 counties are more prejudiced against the political ‘other.’” Middlesex County is home to Harvard University.
New Haven County, home to Yale, falls in the 85th percentile; Mercer County, where Princeton is located, ranks in the 86th percentile. In California's Bay Area, Santa Clara County, the location of Stanford, occupies the 82nd percentile; Alameda County, the site of UC-Berkeley, made the 90th percentile.
Pretty damning of elite schools & their faculty - if you think rationally. If you've been brainwashed, then it seems perfectly correct.
Our leading colleges and universities are not only situated in places that are overwhelmingly “more prejudiced against the political ‘other.’” They also duplicate within their academic communities the conditions that foster partisan prejudice.
Living in “politically homogeneous” neighborhoods generates partisan prejudice because it thwarts the formation of “‘cross-cutting relationships,’” according to the Atlantic authors. “[D]ecades of research into how prejudice operates” shows that “humans are more likely to discriminate against groups of people with whom they do not have regular, positive interactions.” Furthermore, “in America, people who live in cities (particularly affluent, older white people) can more easily construct work and home lives with people who agree with them politically. They may be cosmopolitan in some ways and provincial in others.” And “[a]s politics have become more about identity than policy, partisan leanings have become more about how we grew up and where we feel like we belong. Politics are acting more like religion, in other words.”
What is true of the affluent and politically homogenous counties in the United States where partisan prejudice grows most profusely is even more true of the preeminent colleges and universities located inside them. For decades our top institutions of higher education have constructed a curriculum that systematically downplays or excludes non-progressive perspectives and have assembled a faculty, particularly in the social sciences and humanities, strikingly devoid of conservative scholars. Our campuses are provincial in their monochromatic cosmopolitanism. And they have taken the lead in promulgating the notion that opinions and ideas are a function of identity, and therefore to disagree with a person’s views is to attack his or her humanity."

****, have I been in a coma? When did Paul Ryan get elected to the senate?
Makes me wonder just how many perverts there are in these jobs. We are safe now though.

Excellent article and thank you for bringing it to our attention. I refuse to live in any city with a college or university. If you live in one chances are your local government will be extremely liberal and it will be controlled by people who lean in that direction. You can expect high local fees, taxes and bean counters on your local school boards, city commissioners and all of the rest. The examples are numerous
I can attest to the fact that I pay substantially higher local taxes in Lexington than I did in Richmond, although Madison county also has a university and a college. Come to think of it, there are a LOT of towns that have colleges or universities. I'd have to really live in the sticks to avoid one. That life isn't for me
That was an excellent article. I really don't understand how that is not more of a mainstream view and understood reality, the dangers of this sort of group think and the importance of fighting against it. There are even liberal intellectuals like Jonathan Haidt who make a career out of trying to tackle this issue, but you'll never see them on CNN.
I did manage to find this though on youtube, so maybe there is some hope from the left.
You leftists, unless you deconstruct the various delusions you suffer from, just can't understand this and won't until it's too late.

That's pretty funny when you read the garbage that is posted on this site by conservatives. It's also pretty funny that the preface Fareed used is totally ignored. Heck Fox News still exists even though everybody knows it's a right wing propaganda affair. This is the reason I've said from day one I don't want Trump impeached because he will single handedly destroy the GOP and he is well on his way. Heck even on this sight conservatives have conceded defeat of ideas and have posted about wanting a civil war.
You're right. There were 7 traitorous piece of shit GOP members that were named by Wikileaks.
