I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:Virginia gunman hated Republicans, and 'was always in his own little world' There seemed to be little about America that James T. Hodgkinson agreed with. He had a hero, Bernie Sanders. But his enemies seemed to be endless. To the former Illinois home inspector, Donald Trump and his whole family were traitors who needed to be imprisoned. The Republican Party was worse than terrorists. The wealthy were a corrupt oligarchy that needed to be shattered. On post after post on Facebook, Hodgkinson sounded off on the crisis facing the country, only to see his posts mostly met with silence from his friends.

Quote:I always think it's very irresponsible reporting when newspapers tie things like this to somebody's political affiliation. I didn't like it when they tried tying that guy who killed the two men on the bus a week or two ago to Trump (when he was actually a Bernie supporter), and I don't like it now. (Just in case anyone was wondering, when nearly all the polls including Fox News was showing Clinton leading before the election the LA Times was one of the few that consistently showed Trump winning by quite a lot). I think as things progressively start getting harder for people as they have been for over a decade, we're going to see an increase in incidents like this. I don't believe it has anything to do with politics. It's the beginning of a new era of class warfare. Fortunately, everybody I know is still far from becoming this desperate, but there are a lot of desperate people out there who are continually getting screwed and their back is up against the wall.- SIX

But we need to take a look as to where the problem lies. Who invented this class and who benefits from having folk slug it out? Think about it carefully. Class warfare. People fighting for scraps against another poor slob who's only trying to feed/clothe/house his family. Who controls all of that? I think TPTB are purposefully herding us toward that class warfare as they calmly sit back and count their money. We are nothing but Cannon Fodder to them, the 1% You, my friend, have said a mouthful.- SGG

One Single Day that people weren't either claiming this was the end of the world, or that this is the worst thing to ever happen in America, or that he committed treason, or yada yada yada.... Forget for a moment the current narrative of Russia. I'd like you to go back in this forum SGG. Check out the threads between November 9th and just the first month of Trump's presidency. Tell me what you think of that pattern.

GWB was the worst president we ever had until Obama. Back to back two terrible presidents, and plenty of reasons why. I haven't heard of anything that Trump has actually done that is worse than what those two knuckleheads did in the last 16 years. If Trump has done nothing, he's already doing better than they did.

Reichwing terrorism is, and has been, the #1 form of terrorism in the US for years. We've seen far right radicals killing, stabbing, beating, bombing, etc. Never once has there been a single instance of antifa doing anything of the sort. Please, if you have any respect for this country or yourself, stop lying. -REAVERFAN
