This is the worst form of prejudice and violence and stupidity. From the people that think they are so logical and scientific and loving.... Kid was wearing a MAGA hat. The 10 second clip was 9 seconds longer than it needed to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who goes to mosques and debates the position that Jesus is the only way to heaven. That's a brave move but he is fine, sitting in the crowd and applauding him would be a far braver move. yeah, i'm sure there was a dearth of MAGA hats at a pro-life march.

My favourite anecdote is Andre the Giant stating that often at a bar a man will confront him and that's fine but if he touches AtG then AtG picks up the man by his face and throws him into the wall across the room like he was a baseball.

Lincoln took many constitutional liberties to save the country. I’m not advocating for fascism but I’ll utilize fascist methods to get the America I want.

B-Man Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 REMINDER: it's not the "government"..........it is mobs of anonymous Leftists. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/21/tech/twitter-suspends-account-native-american-maga-teens/index.html New York (CNN Business)Twitter suspended an account on Monday afternoon that helped spread a controversial encounter between a Native American elder and a group of high school students wearing Make America Great Again hats. The account claimed to belong to a California schoolteacher. Its profile photo was not of a schoolteacher, but of a blogger based in Brazil, CNN Business found. Twitter suspended the account soon after CNN Business asked about it. The account, with the username @2020fight, was set up in December 2016 and appeared to be the tweets of a woman named Talia living in California. "Teacher & Advocate. Fighting for 2020," its Twitter bio read. Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers. Late on Friday, the account posted a minute-long video showing the now-iconic confrontation between a Native American elder and the high school students, with the caption, "This MAGA loser gleefully bothering a Native American protester at the Indigenous Peoples March." That version of the video was viewed at least 2.5 million times and was retweeted at least 14,400 times, according to a cached version of the tweet seen by CNN Business. The video shared by @2020fight did not show what preceded the confrontation between the Native American elder and the high school students. The video had been posted earlier on Instagram by someone who was at the event, but it was @2020fight's caption that helped frame the news cycle. Rob McDonagh, an assistant editor at Storyful, a service that vets content online, was monitoring Twitter activity on Saturday morning and said the @2020fight video was the main version of the incident being shared on social media. In one indicator of the @2020fight's video's virality, multiple newsrooms, including some national American outlets, reached out to the user asking them directly about the video. McDonagh said he found the account suspicious due to its "high follower count, highly polarized and yet inconsistent political messaging, the unusually high rate of tweets, and the use of someone else's image in the profile photo." A spokesperson for Twitter told CNN Business, "Deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on Twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of the Twitter Rules." CNN Business was unable to reach the person, or people, behind the account, to ask if they were indeed a California schoolteacher that chose to use someone else's picture. Soon after we pointed out on Twitter that the account was using a different woman's profile picture, the account blocked this reporter. ........Anyone surprised ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard one story where Andre was at a bar drinking after an event. Some idiot started giving him grief, which Andre initially ignored. The guy kept at it and kept at it, and finally realized it was the wrong day to mess with him. Andre chased him out of the bar. The guy ran into his (apparently small) car. Andre reached down and flipped the car over, then went back into the bar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep to myself and try to be pleasant if i'm forced into an unwanted discussion. i do unintentionally bump into people or door frames due to my huge wingspan, when someone whirls around in anger and sees me they quickly change the look on their face and i say "sorry" and all is fine... cowards....

Its a long and very complicated story but before Caesar became dictator for life, Sulla was just that. After fixing things-n-stuff he laid down his dictatorship, restored a strengthened republic (it was strengthened but ironically would die) and went home. Lincoln blatantly ignored the constitution. Churchill interned people without habeas corpus. Extreme times, extreme measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
