This is the first protest against him here. I wish i had my camera out there, but I had no idea this was happening today.

    I get it.

    BLM, Soros, and Obama want to bring back segregation, and probably slavery also. I'm guessing this time it'll be the whites who get enslaved by the blacks and made to turn over all their women....and guns....to some rap artist.
    To do this they'll start a race war with the whites, who out number and outgun them. Percent of whites, 72.4%, blacks 12.6%.

    Then they'll also ban all whites from Harvard and Yale.

    Well if all the white women are being turned over to rappers, please turn me over to Kendrick Lamar. Thanks!

    So far, I've given you credit for basic sanity, but this is just crazy. Get a grip, step back, think about what you're saying, and lay off those conspiracy websites! Alex Jones is a nut job! this fake news conspiracy story rivals pizzagate!

    Right wing conservative George Will talks about Trump, the public should "quarantine this presidency".

    Today in downtown Portland I attended a counter-protest to a pro-Trump rally. The protesters outnumbered the Trump supporters at least 20 to 1, in fact there were more police than Trumpeters. But that's Portland for you, if only we could get turnouts like that in the red states.

    Among the groups was Antifa:

    And the police were out in force to keep the two groups separated:

    The Trump supporters while few in number were very passionate, and it doesn't appear that they'll listen to the warnings.

    Here's a sweet little old fascist waving a Trump flag:

    Trump supporters getting shouted down by the counters:

    [​IMG]

    And this sign which doesn't make sense but still shows their state of mind. The cardboard sign off to the side reads CNN is ISIS. Can't argue with that logic.

    [​IMG]

    I left around 2:30, and according to the news the protesters were clashing with the police by 3:30. I'm not surprised, it looked like a powderkeg. Anyway we've sent a message that Trump has very little support here in Portland, and we've barely just begun.

    Somehow this group reminds me of ISIS.

    So let's see...we should help fund BLM, so we can have a racial divide that could tear our country down.

    It's better to fund and support a nuclear Iran, than to stand with the only Christian country in the Middle East, our long time ally Israel.

    We need a proven liar as our President. (Hillary Rodham Clinton). who takes campaign money from countries who don't support the freedom of their own female population.

    To have a military with a lacking of strength not seen since before WWII.

    With a national debt that ballooned from five trillion in 2008, to nearly 20 trillion in 2016, we should feel okay with this. No worries.

    Obamacare, even though it raised insurance rates to an unacceptable level, is better than "keeping your own doctor" (he lied about it)...after all, Government funded insurance is better than free enterprise, and freedom of personal choice (it's none of our business...)

    It was so nice to have so little respect from nations all over the world, just so we could have the first Black President (and Muslim). Muslim never used to be a threat to the US in such a direct way before Barry took office.

    Benghazi? Didn't happen. Totally inconsequential. Four brave servicemen's lives didn't matter a damn. Makes you want to see your kids rush out and sign up for the military. Right?

    Oh yeah, try to take our guns away from us...good luck with that one!

    I think we've seen about enough inept and corrupt politics in eight years. Gonna take a lot to recover from that shit. Thanks so much, Dems. Or is that Socialists? Or...????

    ^nope, still not listening to anyone but Fox News.

    As illustrated above, the issue is swallowing talking points rather than seeing nuance and looking into issues with a critical eye.

    And thinking "but obama" is a good argument

    We can spend our lives debating until we're blue in the face, but why? Just go vote in 2018 midterms, send letters to your senators, text resist to 50409 (highly recommend for anyone), get involved locally. Who cares if they listen or not

    LOL – outliers – the rare occurrences when a person or thing differs from all other members of a particular group or set.

    So to you only a very few Muslims don’t want to throw homosexuals from tall builds ALL the others do.

    Of course its bullshit and you know it.

    I’ve not talked of societies but have of individuals and groups.

    Now according to the UN Christian militias in the Central African Republic (terrorists like ISIS) were burning "witches" back in 2015. And there are many cases of people even children having been abused by Christians because were thought to be ‘witches’ or ‘possessed by the devil’.

    And there are a number of Christian countries that persecute homosexuals and although it is a lot better in other ‘Christian’ counties did the impetus for change come from the Christian community or from the left (in the UK it come mainly from the left, the right and the Christians on the most part came to it later and many still are not sure).

    And once again the same MO –

    ALL Muslims again

    Oh yes except for those very rare outliers

    Just more of your bull shit.

    I’m not defending groups like ISIS that throw gays off buildings but I’m pointing out that IT IS spreading hate to claim as you keep doing that ALL Muslims are like that (except for a very small number of outliers) and that lefties want to defend terrorists.

    Oh everyone now the rights favourite trick of divide and conquer, the do it what sowing division, by trying get one group to mistrust and then hate another group and they are quiet happy to lie and cheat to do it.

    Hate the blacks, hate the Muslims, hate the lefties and on and on

    Blacks Lives Matter people are terrorists, Muslims want to kill non-Muslims, lefties are traitors

    Oh and they all hate ‘CIS white men’.

    We have been through this before and I’ll ask the same question did back then – what would you do about it?


    As a gay British Muslim, this is what I think of the poll finding over half of UK Muslims want homosexuality banned

    Queer and going to the mosque: 'I’ve never felt more Muslim than I do now'

    Well this is great.

    Israel is not a Christian nation. About 2% are Christian.
    Clinton a liar? Compared to trump!!! LOL
    Military strength? How much stronger are we?
    We have had a national debt for almost every year the country has been in existence.
    Obamacare: My state, Pennsylvania just received estimates from the seven participating insurers. They project about a 8.8% increase in cost next year if everything remains the same, if Trump gets his way......we'll see a 36.3% increase. ~ Healthinsurance
    He thinks Obama is a Muslim!!!!
    And he thinks the world respects us more under Trump!!!
    Still beating the Benghazi and guns bullshit.
    I think we've seen about enough inept and corrupt bullshit propaganda being posted. Gonna take a lot to recover from that shit. Why do I bother......

    I’m wondering has the IQ of right wingers declined or are the ones with an IQ just hiding?
