The political LEFT is unhinged in the USA whether it is shooting a political opponent or insulting a founding member of Ukraine Today .org. Political violence should never be tolerated just like big countries should not invade their smaller neighbors. But, unfortunately, violence is the answer for sick people, instead of civilized political dialog.
Between us, truce?
I made the reply before I fully read what you wrote, but the offer still stands.
Though we have our differences, debate and even have arguments, this is not the way things should be done. We should make our voices heard at the polling stations and ballot boxes.
very correct on your statement

watch this nice shot from the American Cop….sniper eliminated.
I’ll take your word for it, I don’t need to watch I’ve seen plenty enough killing.
Here’s the long version of the BBC video, which the BBC cut short later, on their website. Twitter saved lt.
😎👍
“ANTlFA”
Registered Republican.
ANTIFA stands for Anti-Fascist. Are you saying the shooter’s ANTIFA because he’s opposed to a fascist?
Being registered as a Republican doesn’t mean he voted for Republicans. In fact, the New York Times said he donated to Democrats and that fact is much more telling.
“the New York Times said he donated to Democrats”
I don’t know where you’re seeing that; what I see is that he donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, which is a voter turnout group. The donation was *though* ActBlue, which is a Democratic donation platform, but he didn’t donate to Democrats.
See for yourself:
one of the problems with Trumpists is that they don’t care about the truth, that they are into manipulation of facts or intellectual dishonesty…
“the political left” is a little early to draw conclusions without prior investigation, which means that you are telling yourself a story in which you have given yourself the best role.
If Trump had been in prison for his misdeeds, none of this would have happened and there would be two fewer innocent victims.
“who benefits from the crime?” it will benefit trump already…
In the United States, citizens have a right to the appeals process.
due process ls supposed to be covered 1st, under the 5th and 14th amendments,
what guarantees that we are not bastards are the methods and procedures with which we act, and by dealing with the facts – like the Putinists do, by accusing others of what they do – Trumpists pull on the rubber bands of lies and resentment.
we can now guess what the fruits of this investment in dishonesty, or in these little arrangements with the truth will be – we see it in Russia…
Lying to yourself, in out of fact, is necessarily stealing from someone is jeopardizing your chances of survival. This is already true in relation to climate change and the necessary changes where those who hide their faces/turn a blind eye/lie to themselves are stealing the future of the entire group through their inadequate behavior.
stop your gibberish, you’re embarrassing the rest of us.
talk for you. don’t start stealing from others by speaking on their behalf
the methods ! 😉
otherwise correction: for the moment 2 dead including the shooter.
