Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[time4fun]

By the way- terrorism is on the rise in the US. 2016 and 2017 were the worst years we've seen since at least 2000. There were 37 right-wing terrorist incidents in 2017 alone. Compare that to 11 for the left-leaning terrorists and 7 tied to Islamic extremists.

[Tgo01]

wait, seriously? he's talking about right-wing terrorism.

Since Sept 12, 2001 73% of violent, extremists incidents resulting in death in the US were caused by right-wing extremist groups. That's from the GAO, btw.



When we say that the right has lost its mind- this is what we're talking about.

Isn't it cute how Democrats start tracking these stats since September 12th, 2001? I wonder why that could be. Oh I wonder WONDER why that could be?

Could it be because if we started tracking just ONE DAY sooner the stats would look like this:

97.2% (3000 people) were killed by Islamist extremists
2.8% (62 people) were killed by far right wing violent extremists

This is of course ignoring the fact that your stats totally ignore violent left wing attacks since 2001, not to mention how your stat clearly ignores some Islamic terrorist attacks such as Pulse nightclub shooting and San Bernardino shooting.

But yes, do go on how the real threat right now is "far right wing violent extremist groups" killing about 3 people a year.

And how Antifa is a domestic terror group full of their buddies. I hear PK is pretty tight with them.

And however many clearly Islamic terror attacks the MSM decided had nothing to do with Islam despite them screaming ALLAHU AKBAR and/or (paraphrased) I WILL KILL YOU ALL IN THE NAME OF ALLAH AND THIS ATTACK IS SPECIFICALLY ISLAMIC!!!!!! and all that just before they start killing people.

And how hispanics are "white" but only when they do something violent.

etc.

EDIT: fuck, forgot to open with ROFL. That's -1 PhD for me.

Oh honey...you really don't understand how these things work do you?

Claiming that the “violent left” is preparing an insurrection designed to grab “illegitimate power,” the Oath Keepers’ president and founder Stewart Rhodes this week announced on their website that his group is organizing training sessions around the United States aimed at helping militiamen and “Patriots” prepare for “lethal force” at far-right events in cities targeted for right-wing protests.

Appearing on Infowars with host Owen Shroyer on Monday, Rhodes explained that Oath Keepers is organizing “Spartan Training Groups” in every state with the aim of bolstering efforts to combat “antifa and the far left.” He spun the effort as part of a larger vision of becoming a national militia that could be called into action by President Trump

ROFL

You forgot to start with ROFL. No need to worry, I fixed it for you so you won't lose any PhD's.

Being that Antifa is a domestic terror group. I applaud these people's counter-terrorism efforts.

Anyone wanna take bets on who wins those fights if/when they happen? PK?

Other facepalm-y news:. Daily Caller has created a fact checking org. And it's putting social media companies in an uncomfortable position.

Isn't fact checking a good thing? Is it because it doesn't have the word "fact" in it's name that makes you question the validity of their site?

You're hilariously stupid.

Calling journalists enemies of the people isn't just criticism, it's an invitation for violence.

So, you also agree when groups like BLM and Antifa call law enforcement the enemies of the people, it's an invitation for violence against them?

Yes

[Tgo01]

Yes

Oh good. So all of the cops targeted and actually murdered can be linked to BLM and Antifa and this one threat against journalists can be attributed to Trump.

Looks like the real danger here is BLM and Antifa.
