They will never admit it, but this totally exposes the NRA/gun nuts. They will never be able to make the argument that there purpose is to have the ability to over throw a tyrannical government ever again. We were there and they chose the side of tyranny.

LOL at “Don’t Tread On Me.”

I consumed a fair amount of alcohol last night.

what I mean to say was #Trump2060

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

It’s taking protests, abuse of power by cops, people getting hurt, and other disgusting variables for this awful, incompetent government to finally realize that there’s a BIG PROBLEM? Like it’s already 2020 and the Marines JUST REALIZING that the Confederate flag devalues their “core values” like wtf

Then you have people like Roger Goodell; apologizing because deep down he knows it’ll hurt his pockets if he continues to be ignorant about social/racial issues plaguing his league, and then to have NFL’s social media team go behind his back and gather black athletes to raise awareness goes to show his passiveness.

It was a humbling experience to go and cover 5 Black Lives Matter protests this past week in my area, and I have to admit that it was one of the best weeks ever in my career and I’m THANKFUL because of it. We have a long way to go in terms of how we treat others, especially our African-American brothers and sisters, and other people of color. We need do our part of educating ourselves more and help MORE however we can because it begins with US.

Happy Sunday yall, and BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Y’all really down for devil worshipping Biden?

I’m voting for the brave man who RISKED his life for the opportunity to hold a bible mid day during an extremist rally.

New interview with AG Barr:

Excerpts:

That’s right folks, pepper spray isn’t a chemical irritant. How dare anyone suggest that a chemical (capsaicin) that causes irritation is a chemical irritant.

someone come give us freedom.

One of the best things that I've seen in the coverage (and y'all may have discussed this in here as well) was some on-the-ground reporter who has worked a lot abroad in war zones, etc. asking, "How would I report on this if it were not the U.S.?"

And then he gave these different examples of how things would be framed in ways that would (correctly) paint government officials and police forces in terms of authoritarianism, wanton violence against civilians, widespread violations of free speech and assembly, etc. And all of this was the government's response to completely justified protests over agents of the state killing an unarmed civilian in broad daylight and facing no criminal charges for the murder (early on).

But when these same dynamics occur domestically, we get basically some "both-sides" ********. I mean, we've even had journalists arrested, teargassed, shot with rubber bullets, etc. Just imagine if this was the scene in Argentina or Saudi Arabia—to say nothing of Venezuela or Iran.

 

[mplsdunk]

exactly, we are that country that has “no freedom” that we always hear about. It’s such a joke to me that we go around policing the world and telling people how they should run their country when ours is a 3rd world country parading around as the best in the world because certain people make money.

So can Colin Powell and if George W endorses Biden, will it cause more Republicans to speak out

 

[Wargames]

So can Colin Powell and if George W endorses Biden, will it cause more Republicans to speak out

if George W endorses Biden.... well I would be stunned and it would split the party

 

[Nike Jordan]

Powell has endorsed Obama and Hillary Clinton in prior elections.

 

[gry60]

Powell has endorsed Obama and Hillary Clinton in prior elections.

Let's remember that the Republican leadership fed him the information about the inexistent Iraqi WMD program that he presented at the UN like a fool.

Wouldn't be surprised if he never supports another Republican in his lifetime.

 

[RustyShackleford]

So can Colin Powell and if George W endorses Biden, will it cause more Republicans to speak out

Doubt it

Powell has endorsed Dems for president for the last three elections. At this point Republicans consider him a Democrat.

Majority Republicans don't really give a **** about Bush W. They can't even bring him out on the campaign trail like the Dems can do with Obama. Their electoral fate is still tied to Trump, so they gonna rock with Trump until the wheels fall off.
