Come January 20th, there will be the incoming Retrograde Administration, where eight years of progress fall to the wayside, and usher at least two years of unwavering despair. Between selfish, shortsighted, apathetic voters, and the brewing hatred which reached the peak of the human psyche, I can only fear the worst, as the ripple effect around the world will continue, as far-right ideologies will take advantage of the woefully fearful public, incapable of embracing change, and allowing moments of tragedy corrupt their psyche.
Quite honestly, I emplore every liberal white woman, minority and especially black men, to legally purchase, and obtain training on the proper use of, firearms in a combat situation. Also, if your state allows it, get a permit to carry. Trump has emboldened quite a few domestic terrorists. Be prepared to defend yourselves and your families. The police may not get to you in time or they may not even be inclined to help you at all. The racist right is rising and they have no morals or honor. But, they have plenty of guns and the power of the US government behind them. Keep your heads on a swivel.
What concerns me about racists in power is that they have access to weaponized germs. I'm not even thinking about the knuckle draggers with guns.
I encourage every righteous American to arm themselves for any reason, even of it's for no reason.. But oddly your Party doesn't want you armed, even legally. Ironically, the Republican and Bernie's Party does. What you wrote is exactly what the far Right-Wing said when Obama won. Just switch the races in your comment. Do you really think anything has changed? I read in the news that the largest KK K group is holding a March in SC next month(?) Their membership is 150. That's not much. I believe ten times that amount will show up to counter their hate and rhetoric. Marches happened under Bush, Obama and will under Trump. If you want to make a call to Arms and arm yourself to fight Domestic Terrorists you can, however depending on where you live, your fear and threat is likely more palpable walking down the street (at night) with nary the domestic terrorist you will be peeling your eyes out for, in sight.
Not really. With germ warefare they can strike and play dumb while working class minorities and whites fight amoung themselves like sitting ducks. Non whites would be the target but a lot of the white people that are out of the loop (non rich ) would die too. Of course they don't think it's their problem tho.
Bliss, im curious as to why you believe the dems want to take away the right to bear arms. President Obama has had this accusation thrown at him time and time again when he has proposed NOTHING of the sort in his 8 years in office. The few common sense gun reforms he did support (closing the private sale non registration loophole, and limits on fully automatic assault rifles) were met with near hysteria from the right.
Loki, the flaw l find in that argument is there are extremists already here who illegally crossed the border or attempted to via Mexico, and/or to a lesser extent, Canada. One terrorist even bragged he has a cell training in Southern Mexico to attack Arizona, with the blessing of Mexico's Drug Cartel. It is also of deep concern to Canada who produced a report on 'The Terrorist Threat To Canada' for the public. Furthermore, as Hillary noted herself, it's impossible to Vet the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees crossing Jordan's pourous border. As l noted in my previous post, her camp also admitted that they do not have superior vetting methods than Jordan. Hillary pointed out the vetting takes 2 years to come here. Really? So after the 12,500 already admitted, the next 65,000 to come here will wait that long? Let's see. Above all, the Refugees arriving here are not coming from Syria directly, but the Jordanian camps. Comey admitted that they don't have a complete (if any) background and criminal history on them and yes, there is the chance some terrorists will slip through - that's just the nature of the beast. No thanks. What Trump is asking for is a halt on Refugees from Syria until we know exactly what we are doing. I do hope and wish however, that he does allow children and mothers as exceptions, even from Aleppo. It's absolutely heartbreaking to see the suffering of the true victims of the war between ISIS and Assad and Putin. Get the babies n kids out of there now. *I would also suggest an alternative solution but there are too many far-leftists on here who would lose their minds and ignore the message, so l will pass.
Politics is a strange bird.. Can anyone find what Bannon has said negatively about Jews? Yesterday, a few high profile Jews came out to defend him that he is not anti-Semitic. (saying he is in fact "a proud Zionist") Then the ADL, who condemned Bannon upon his appointment, have apparently back-tracked today, revealing that they have found no anti-Semitic rhetoric from him, and the one article they found was actually written by a Jewish columnist.
Bliss from your wiki leaks article she is saying that we ARE well equipped to vet. We are different than Jordan because the Syrian refugees cant walk over the border. As far as Mexico, yes that is a problem and we need real solutions to the immigration issues there, and building a wall will not do a damn thing, we need more border agents, and more funding to start. "As recently as September 19, she said that: eca “tough vetting” of refugees “is a serious challenge, [but] we are well-equipped to meet it, and we can do so in keeping with smart law enforcement, good intelligence and in concert with our values.” At a speech given in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on December 15, 2015, Clinton said: We also have to be vigilant in screening and vetting refugees from Syria, guided by the best judgment of our security and diplomatic professionals. Rigorous vetting already takes place while these refugees are still overseas, and it’s a process that historically takes 18 to 24 months."
Yes, l posted those comments you copied above to illustrate to AB that it was in direct contrast to her previous, paid private-speech position to a Jewish group, about Jordan's inability to vet. That's where we are getting our Refugees from. Their camps. Which is why Comey admitted it presents a problem of a thorough vet and that some terrorists will slip through. So it's not just our borders that raise concern. So then, which one is the mind of the real Hillary? The private paid-speech face, or the public political face? Again, as l mentioned in my previous post, her camp admitted our vetting is not superior to Jordan's. 'We.. asked the Clinton campaign to explain if Secretary Clinton believes the United States has unique vetting capabilities superior to those of Jordan, which enable us to successfully vet Syrian refugees; she admits we cannot.' I do agree on increased agents.
Nope. Far-leftists are actually those who supported Bernie Sanders and moved over to Jill Stein. Those who supported Hillary from the get-go and those who migrated to Hillary from Bernie after the convention are, in fact, democrats. But, wait, you ask, aren't democrats the leftists? Nope, they aren't. The democratic party has moved to more center right than anything else. (Shhhh...don't tell the democrats that, they are still under the illusion they're the party of the people. :smt043) The TRUE leftists, the progressives, are the Bernie Sanders', the Jill Steins, and the Tulsi Gabbards' of the world.
Funny how you criticize us when your party does everything to create the situations where arms are needed. Go figure.
Dems are totally aware at least the working class ones. We just don't take solace in saying I told you so while giving a crazy racist the keys to the kingdom. It's not quite... progressive.
True, but the liberals will always fail in the South because of their position on guns. Which really makes it a stupid position. There is no way a southern state will pass laws similar to New York or Cali. Its really self defeating for them not to accept that.
LOL. You really believe if the Dems never said another word about guns, all of sudden they'd be competitive in the South?? White Southerners for 50 years have viewed the Democratic party as the party of and FOR BLACKS and other minorities, meaning if you're a 'self-respecting' White man, you believe it's not he party for you. IMO has nothing to do with guns.
Someone just made a great point on my FB. America just made a egotistical racist untouchable Let that sink in. The only way he goes down is if the whole world suffers
Obama and Bill Clinton have won southern states. What if Hillary had a different position on guns. Let that sink in. If you still don't get it. Then enjoy 8 unnecessary years of Trump.
