    As Mike Tyson tweeted and since deleted, Imagine if white folk rioted every time one was killed by a black man , we would never have peace.
    The left double standards are something to behold, completely deranged thinking is the only way to describe it, a habitual criminal dies by the action of the Police, (totally unacceptable IMO) the left sees riots are a acceptable response, but Tony Timpa dies in incredible circumstances , not a peep from the Left, is that because he is white?
    Either the left are gullible or sociopaths, the amazing thing is i would say boards is 99% white posters , yet zero concern for Tony Timpa, but plenty of self flagellation for George Floyd, is this the white guilt i read about?

    Read it and weep.

    Both George and Tony should still be alive, but where is the outrage for Tony?

    Why aren’t you asking why whites didn’t riot over Tony Timpa?

    Could it be the riots are not a spontaneous thing?
    Could it be agent provocateurs are stirring the pot?

    Have you tried clicking it?


    It works just fine.


    Anyway, you can say what you like about polls and it might be believable (at least more believable than that stuff about scanners) if political parties, including republicans, took no notice of them.

    Just in case you're not someone's idea of satire, you should be aware that the bible itself wasn't the main problem - it was the teargassing of Americans for the photo-op that annoyed most.

    Agreed with the tear gas being a primary objection, but the idea of the photo-op, with or without tear gas, was still pretty daft to begin with.

    That said, it was a pretty daft move by the Democrats as well which has raised the ire particularly of Ghanans, and a general mockery overall. They would have known better than to wear Apache headdress if they were doing a moment for native Americans, but apparently nobody thought about the fine details of African subcultures.

    I don't disagree. It was cringey at best. Still, there's a gulf between assaulting peaceful protesters and looking stupid for a photo.

    The latest from this not corrupt in the slightest administration is that they have placed economic sanctions on individuals in the international criminal court who investigate Americans without this administrations permission. Hmmm I bet they aren’t investigating Obama....

    They weren’t guarding him. He wasn’t there. They responded to an alarm and then loafed there despite nearby looting.

    Not sure what kind of ad hominem you think you are getting at but may want to tread lightly.

    Not only that but the comments section any given day is full of people who accuse it of a right wing bias, or a left wing bias, depending on the moment. So suggesting it’s a snakey slanty outfit is way off base.

    If they went to stop the looters they would have to abandon their duty to protect the democrat congressman, thus giving him something else to complain about the police.

    Perhaps his beef should be with the police union. Oh, wait, they're most likely major donors to his campaign.

    Getting rid of bad cops and the unions that protect them is the only way to clean up a police force that has problems.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Grossly biased or dishonest etc

    I mean last week they did a rare interview with Sean Hannity. If they were slanted left he wouldn’t have.

    Another poster cleverly disguising the fact that the congressman wasn’t there at all so there was no duty to protect his stash of popcorn

    How exactly were they protecting him?

    Talk about Gaffs, what about Trump referring to the SS Doing a great job in Washington

    By the way US secret service does not go by that acnorym

    I can just see CNN, there was a attack on the office of a Dem congressman,while he was out peacefully protesting the far right looters are attacking his office and our democracy.
    And then Portland one ups everyone with the wokeness.
    Police should take advantage of this idiot Dem Mayor and all take the time at the exact same time, their supervisor cannot stop it by mayors order. No police on the street and the mayor is cool with it?

    Trump just said this at a press conference, if Biden said this our friends would be calling for an intervention.

    Trump: Sometimes you’ll see a building that costs less money than another building that costs more because the one that built the one that costs more, this one looks better. The one that’s cheaper looks better. They say how much more did you spend for that building.
