Knock out your wife's half brother the next time you see him. These people do this because no one holds them accountable.

She’s not very close with him. I’ve never met him. I told her if I ever see him it would be hard not to want to deck him.
 
Mama mia.
That's what people like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Jay Inslee and Andrew Yang are proposing. ..

Libs won't win the Presidency for a long time with the way they are trending. I mean barring some disaster or breakdown on the right, we could see a run of 2-3 more Pub Presidents post Trump.

Not sure they're going to hold on to the house or gain any significant advantage in any chamber going forward.

I'm chalking the past mid-term up to a bunch of sane people not quite on board with Trump but not totally aware of which way the libs were trending...they've trended to the edge of the abyss and are about to tip over it.

Moderate dems, independents, libertarians, sane people of all colors and creeds I think now know that libs are going down a dangerous path. These folks may not like Trump but I think overall they still would like their country to not go down the shitter. A lot may throw up their hands exasperated and sit the next couple voting rounds out, some are going to start voting pub.

We may eventually see a great schism on the left and the formation of a third party.

The feral anarchist wing will either come out of the closet and shed the (D) altogether, or they'll keep posing and hijack it thus forcing all the reasonable moderates to start forming an (M) party.
 
Then how do you know he's a wacko?

His twitter feed and my wife. They aren’t close now. They were at one point. They still follow each other on social media and converse a few times a year.

I guess his retweeting and tweets she’s shown me just get under my skin. Total lack of logical thinking applied.

I hope I am wrong but I think you are underestimating the power of the media.

I think the media is underestimating the power of the American people and their desire for the country to remain, well, America. Hell, they are ignoring them altogether and focusing on a few radicals and their relatively few but disproportionately loud zealot followers.

If this country wanted to be a some warped romanticized version of what the radical few are peddling, we would be.

If the Democratic party was real serious about leaping off the left edge, Bernie would have been their nominee last time around and they would not have twisted Joe Biden's arm to come out of retirement. They'd have cleared the deck for Warren and Bernie to duke it out.

I think that is the clear strategy behind working with the Dems to paint all Reps as radicals to counter that. DT did very well with suburban white women last time. He will need to come close to that again in those key states or siphon more latino and black voters.

Man I really really hope you are right, but I fear you are not. Between the media and school system liberal indoctrination, I feel like conservatism is fighting a losing battle. Eventually libs will get back in power and that will probably be all she wrote. I just want to try to deny the inevitable for as long as I can at this point.
 


Speaking of media check out last night's Fox News with Shannon Bream. They go full liberal with clips of All In with Chris Hayes and push the Trump is a racist card full tilt.

Feel the same way. I think our country will be unrecognizable in a few short years if Dems get back in office.

Yep, which is why TX is so frustrating and frankly sad. Here you have a strong pro-business state leading the country in job creation and is in danger of being neutered by massive immigration and move of companies from CA due to their shitty biz environment.

It's obvious that there is a central talking points group in the democrat party. Today's is "white supremacy". And what they're doing now is trying to paint people who support Trump as white supremacists. It's astounding.

+ all the Cali assholes who sell their overvalued $700K houses and purchase here for $400K.

You can say the same thing about the entire country. This country is a wonderful place to live! Other countries may do some things better, but in my opinion this is overall the best place in the world to live. Yet, for some reason, you have half of the country that want to fundamentally change literally EVERYTHING. It blows my mind.
 
I wish the Republicans could get on the same damn page the way the Democrats are.
Me too but it makes sense why we don't. Liberals are lemmings and subject to group think. They can't really think for themselves so they just follow the leader. That's why they rarely disagree with one another because they don't even attempt to use logic or reason. Just emotion and what makes them feel good. Conservatives on the other hand are more free thinking. We analyze the crap out of everything and put serious thought into potential outcomes. Unfortunately this opens the door for a significant amount of disagreement, which keeps us divided.
 
If a fringe lunatic attacks Latinos the Dems response is half the nation is Trump Supporting white supremacist who want to commit genocide to all minorities.

If a fringe lunatic attacks a Republican Baseball game the Dems response it that Trump Supporting white supremacist are the cause of their own demise by radicalizing innocent Democrats to the point where they feel that violence is their only option.
 
Has anyone in an official capacity investigating the El Paso shooter actually stated he did in fact write the manifesto?

Maybe they have and I’ve just missed it in all the hysteria.
 
STILL talking about the political leanings of 2 nuts days after 2 tragic massacres.

WHO CARES what they thought? We do victims a disservice by politicizing every single whack job perp who decides he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.

The only 100% accurate label to give these 2 clowns is murderer. After that, it's all noise and fodder for twitter fanboys and cable news talk show hosts.

It's the old game that's played out since living organisms evolved, and then eventually became man who then developed society. The clash of differences, ideas, etc...

It's intensified here lately as the world has shrunk with technology, media, 24/7 live feed/stream, hash tag this and that...but it's always been around...nothing new...

As far as modern times. School and media have always been liberal.

That's where liberalism thrives. Bubbles. Coastal and port cities, college campuses, Hollywood. Social Media.

It has it's strongholds no doubt. But we all saw the last electoral map. Red with some blue blemishes. America is a big chunk of land with a lot of people.

People by in large clearly want America to be America, some tweaks here and there left and right. But nobody want's to run off the edge in either direction.

That’s all well and good, but in case you haven’t noticed the left is running full bore that Trump caused this and Trump supporters are white supremacists.
All based on the premise of a manifesto that we don’t know is real or not.
The importance of the political viewpoint of the shooters relevance has left the barn, thanks to the left using it for political gain.

He knows, he just feels the need to play this disingenuous game pretending to not know about the media's influence.

Again I hope you are right, and if you are I'll eat a healthy dose of crow with a big ol grin on my face. If Texas goes blue though, and there's certainly reason to believe it can, we are in trouble. But I love your optimism and you give me hope. Thanks for that!
 
I have to ask.. Is that real or doctored? seriously, really? Even the most insane lunatics don't put their belts up in their armpits. Is his ass really that far up his back? I mean, I get it, he's short as hell and fat and actually lost weight, and maybe those are his fat pants, but really?

Real life isn't much better.

There’s been multiple front page posts on Reddit today pumping up AOC shooting down “Mitch McConnells boys will be boys defense.”

Sane people knew yesterday that was a complete fabrication, but those lefty loony toons are still running with it.

I haven't - the only TV I have watched since the shootings are golf, NASCAR, WWE, Seinfeld, and a couple of movies on HBO and Netflix.

The media can't influence me because I pay them no attention. Pretty much all the news I get comes from this thread or the occasional blurb on my home page that interests me. I don't use Twitter or Facebook, don't listen to any talking heads, etc. Some of the posters here spend hours a day on Twitter - those are the types of people being influenced by idiots.

No.

This is my problem with “conservative” news outlets. Not even they act like journalists and ask questions that they need to be asked. The do the exact same thing “liberal” news outlets do....spew stupid opinions and defend those stupid opinions. Nobody deals in facts, and it’s all detrimental to the citizens. It all helps to further the goal of the current left - divide and conquer the US.

It’s why trump won. He questioned the system, questioned the leaders on both sides of the aisle and addressed real issues that neither republicans nor democrats would address. Mainly jobs and immigration.

I read a pretty nicely balanced piece in the LA Times where the police chief basically said that it seemed pretty clear that if the shooter didn't write the manifesto, he sure as hell agreed with all the talking points. The article talked about the shooter's background - pretty typical mass-shooter type: didn't have any friends, picked on as a kid, probably on the spectrum, not a lot of hope for the future, crappy job. Loser.

WE DONT CARE WHAT OR HOW MUCH YOU WATCH WE CARE THAT THE MEDIA IS PURE SHIT AND CREATING FALSE NARRATIVES IN VIEWERS THAT VOTE FOR OUR LEADERS.
