Thread: George Floyd killing and the aftermath

    This really can't be overemphasized, but I'm going to try.

    5 days ago, the President of the United States of America retweeted a video of someone saying the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.

    Let that sink in for a moment. The supposed leader of the free world just said that if you belong to a different political party, the preference is that you no longer be alive.

    And the truly horrifying thing is- we've gotten so used to his chaos and hate that it barely even registers. 4 years ago, that would have registered. And we'd understand that as an attack on fundamental American values.

    But today, apparently it just gets him downgraded to a "decent" President.

    See what I mean again, Blazar? "You just attack people, you big meanie head with your head so far up Trump's ass!!"

    What makes you think these people deserve to be treated decently?

    More fake news. In the same breath he said he meant that in a political sense.

    See what I mean, Blazar? THIS is the type of this I deal with each and every single day in the politics folder. People just flat out lying through their teeth or being so stupid and ignorant that they just believe whatever the media feeds them, no matter how insane it is. And your problem is with me because, what? I don't agree with them?

    Your concern trolling/sealioning has been duly noted.
    Lying. Like you blaming all the violence on your Boogeyman. You still haven't answered who is the head of this terrifying organization known as antifa...yet you've b en screaming that they are the ones doing the rioting.
    Anonymous is an Idea - not a group.

    Alfster is another Democrat/TDS goon who has now admitted that the riots are political in nature.

    Any other Democrat gonna keep commenting without explaining how the riots aren't political?

    Also what am I lying about? You really think police officers fired off tear gas then moments later rushed into the scene WITHOUT WEARING A GAS MASK? You can't be this retarded.

    Seran can be that retarded. time4fun is just so batshit insane she probably thinks police officers would do that.

    But not you, Alfster. You can't be this retarded so the only explanation left is you don't care you're being lied to because you hate Trump that much.

    You realize I literally linked to documentation on this, right?

    And did you seriously just justify this? "I meant it in a political sense"- makes it absolutely okay for a President to reshare that?

    Your own President retweeted something suggesting that people in a political party he doesn't like should be dead. Are you really so broken as a human being that you don't recognize that as dangerous?

    For all of the bluster I have heard over the years from the conservatives on this board about fighting to keep Communism and Socialism out of America, it is absolutely astounding to watch those same people usher in the worst parts of Communism.

    "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat"- that's single party rule. You'll find that in China and Russia.

    Teargassing peaceful protesters- that's what you can get away with in countries with authoritarians who aren't beholden to things like Freedom of Speech.

    Leveraging the power of the Presidency to retaliate against organizations who criticize him? Yeah, guess where else you find that?

    Doing mass purges of career employees who haven't demonstrated proper "loyalty" to the President? Guess where else that happens?

    Firing oversight watchdogs and replacing them with political appointees who are helping to run the agencies they're supposed to be performing oversight for?

    Inviting foreign interference into our elections? Leveraging the power of the office to attack political rivals who dare to run against him?


    So watchdogs of Democracy- if you're okay with all of this, what exactly was it about Communism you were trying to protect us from?

    Please snap out of this before it's too late. On some level you must understand that this is not the direction we should be moving in.

    Listen to the video yourself instead of reading about it from Washington Post.

    He says he didn't mean it in a physical sense and isn't advocating for murders, but he meant it in a political sense. So yes, it's fine. Settle down.

    He's saying their careers are dead. This is just more leftwing nonsense trying to control speech.

    Oh by the way, you going to admit you were lied to about police using tear gas while not wearing gas masks? Or gonna keep repeating that lie as well?

    No one is saying single party rule. We are just saying the Democrat party is worthless and dangerous.

    Well that answers my previous question. I guess you are going to keep repeating that lie.

    Also even if the police used tear gas you really think Trump told them to? You know that's not how the police structure works in this country right?

    George Floyd and the police officer worked together at a nightclub in 2009.

    Any chance this wasn't a hate crime and there is more to the story?
