It has become abundantly clear from your own posts that "proof" is something you neither require nor respect.
We need to somehow preserve this statement for Some Schmo to peruse.

Senator Romney was bemoaning that Trump's campaign strategy was to foment as much racial strife as possible. Energize people into voting as a White Power group. While that seems despicable, nothing is too low for Trump. Self-aggrandizement is all that matters. Hey, if the Kremlin thinks that is the best strategy then Trump will follow through on it.

Hope this fits the thread. Cuomo issues a warning to DJT and calls him "a joke". Him and deBlassio basically flipping him off which is exactly what he deserves. Appreciate the last line from mayors of the targeted cities regarding political pawns. Spot on.

Lawless zones. The White House is a lawless zone.

The lesson from all of this seems to be one that the Leftists have been arguing for years. More guns involved in heated situations means more shootings, which means more deaths.
Yeah, the BLM/Antifa riots, beatings, and destruction of property had been going so well for months only to be ruined by "outsiders" being weary of it. If only these outsiders would play by the BLM/Antifa rules for community destruction.
I can totes understand why BLM/Antifa would cry foul.

The DOJ announced that two members of the "417 Second Amendment Militia" on their way to Kenosha with a bunch of rifles and guns were arrested for illegal possession of firearms. The irony of so many folks breaking the law for the sole purpose of keeping law and order.

The earliest examples of rioting began with the umbrella man. FOX News ran with it for weeks claiming he was ANTIFA but never retraced when he turned out to be undercover Right Wing terrorist. Then when that cop was killed in California, "ANTIFA STRIKES AGAIN" we were told. But when it turned out to be a member of the Right Wing Boogaloo Boys, FOX News never shared that piece of information.

This isn't to say all violence is being caused by Right Wingers coming in to town and starting confrontations, but that's certainly exacerbating an already volatile situation. And were seeing more and more evidence that this is happening. Also, Cops can't seem to stop murdering black people across the country, so it seems that every time things begin to die down, here we go again with another outrageous killing. Cops only show restraint with white folks it seems, whether they're running at them screaming in their face, or whether they're giving fist bumps to out of state criminals who are only there to kill.

The first time I had even heard of ANTIFA was during the Nazi marches in Charlottesville. First it was MS-13, but after Charlottesville, there was no doubt the Trumpublicans found their new favorite boogeyman in Right Wing propaganda. You can scarcely see them say or write anything about BLM or Democrats without mentioning ANTIFA and running with a false caricature of what it is. Very must the say way they won't mention China without adding "Communist." Cheap parlor tricks and scare tactics that only work with the feeble minded.

Dr. Cornel West said Antifa showed up and protected clergy from white nationalists. He said they literally "saved our lives"

like the feeble minds that can't mention Trump/Republicans without bastardizing either name; and the lumping in racists, nationalists, misogyny, and greedy corporations.
Feeble indeed.

I've been using Trumpublican precisely for that reason. To distinguish traditional Conservative Republicans from the cult of Trump.
