It always amazes me that these yahoos show up at a rally when they know there is the potential for violence and possibly spending the night in the pokey. Do they show up because they honestly believe in heir cause or is just for the opportunity to bash someone from the other side and/or get their face on the local news? I have serious doubts that these groups stand for anything other than seizing the opportunity for violence. I have no use for either side when it comes to the use of violence to promote a cause.

I think, and maybe it's just me, but a lot of them are there for a social media post. Much like a gym-selfie; it's a form of virtue signaling/attention seeking.

so now an image from the completely peaceful women's march? What are you trying to say? That there is some equivalence?
Two groups he just doesn't like?
You see, by protesting white supremacists who beat black people with metal poles and drive cars into crowds of innocents, they're exactly the same. Because it takes two to tango or something.

I don't know where to post this, but this one might be as good as any.

(Unless someone can point to a thread where the discussion is about what other statues are going to be labelled "racist" and will need to be the next to come down.)

Anyway...................it seems that FDR is a racist! And Roosevelt Island needs to be renamed!


It came from a NYC newspaper, so it has to be true!

“To add injury to insult, the name was taken away from the Native American people who were slaughtered by the American settlers,” said Margarita L., who started the petition.
Well, that settles it!

Here is a group of Antifa fellows engaging in vigorous debate with an opponent lying in a fetal position in the road last weekend in Berkeley.
One of the fellows uses the debating technique made famous by Aristotle called "the kick to the head." If employed correctly, this argument is exceedingly difficult to refute.

Swap "Reagan" for "FDR", and see how many would sign any petition.

"Strawman. The island isn't named after Reagan."

My point, exactly. Bet a lot more would sign, even though such thing didn't exist.

Wanna bet?

I'll bet you a Guinness. Loser buys. You have to drink it, win or lose. (Because I can't, any more. I'll just have to watch, and make you feel guilty.) (Warning: I do a really mean lookin' skunk-eye.)
