J6 was only in a small area.  Makes it ok apparently.  But Dems cried for National Guard then.  

Weird how things change on a whim.

This is an interesting link:

I can't speak to the accuracy, but click into a few of the companies in this link.  Somebody spent a lot of time and effort on this.

My point was that Squissy doesn't live near the riot area, so his comment about not seeing riots is irrelevant.

Speaking of which Gutter, do you ever get tired of saying irrelevant things here?  I know I get tired of responding to them.

lol, I'm not autistic so I didn't spend all day trying to reconstruct the list from first principles.  Some, like the ACLU, are known to have financed it.  So it's at least partially correct.

Apologies if you’ve clarified this previously, when you say some of these groups “financed” the protests, you don’t actually believe they “paid people to protest” or “bussed the same people to multiple different protests,” do you?

I really don't get the maga flex of mocking autistic people.  Very weird, but fits the overall theme of cruelty.

Sean Mooney once asked me if I was autistic 17 times in one hour. Which is funny, because asking the same thing over and over is something an autistic person does.

Good point. I remember when wade Garret was around they used to mock him for having cancer.  Cancer man.  Sick cult.

Keep it coming libbies. This is awesome. I hope for you that the first thing you do every day is to start whining about Trump, and then you spend your whole day doing so for the next 3.5 years at least. Although, I'm positive it will go on for at least the next dozen years.

The most impressive aspect of the protests, for me, was how many of them took place in deep red states: Idaho, South Carolina, etc. 

I really do think something is happening here. The polls suggest the public at large has really changed their minds about Trump and MAGA. We will know next election time; until then it’s all speculation. But the signs are there.

Signs were there in 2024.  Millions didn't vote for Trump.  But he still won.   Just because those that didn't vote for Trump had a silly little rally doesn't mean things are changing.  It's about total votes and a viable candidate from the left.   Right now, there isn't one.

I think the viable candidate thing was the bigger problem in 2024.  I’m still holding out hope for Roy Cooper

Well first off I’m talking about 2026. 2028 is a ways off and a different issue. I think Newsom is a viable candidate, but even if I’m wrong about that one will emerge by then. 
 

But my point here is that if these protests are real, then it could lead to a blue wave election next year. If it doesn’t, if Republicans retain their hold in House and Senate (or even if they only lose by small margins) then these protests were meaningless and not the start of something bigger. One way or another we’ll find out.

Our last 3 elections haven’t had a viable candidate, but someone has to win anyway.

Presidents, republican or democrat, often lose the mid terms.  But of course if Trump does it will be different. Monumental.  A repudiation of maga. The movement will be dead. Clowns know nothing about the history they have lived.

I am old enough to remember when movements tried to have their protest rallies on the National Mall.  They wanted to boast of the Million Man this or the Million woman that.  Now, they are outsourcing them to localities.  That must be convenient for those who no longer have to make the travel commitment of the old days.  Why had i wanted to attend one of these demonstrations I could have only 6 miles from my home in a fairly red county.  I did not attend.  I chose to spend the time with my family.  We viewed the Angkor exhibit at the Museum and then had lunch.

They're so far down on the intellectual food chain that they have to mock those whom they perceive to be less intelligent than themselves in order to feel more confident and better about themselves, but what they don't know is that high-functioning autistic people are exponentially more intelligent than they are, people such as Bill Gates, Mozart, Einstein and their hero Elon Musk.

I was merely trying to say that I'm not familiar with a site called "Data Republican," nor do I know how one curates the list they have.

I won't make that mistake in the future.  I'll just post it confidently, like you would.

I usually actually read the links I post.  As well as the links other people post, because they often don’t, and a lot of times the links other people post help prove my point, not theirs ( @Strike and @RLLD for example have done this). 

Surprised you don’t know “Data Republican.”  She supposedly has helped with DOGE, the conservatives on x love her because she likes to respond to Dems passive aggressively and link a bunch of charts and stuff.  Some of her stuff is interesting, but she kinda reminds me of “Ethical Skeptic” - she’s clearly smart, but I think she tries to overwhelm people with numbers so that you can’t spot where she’s wrong.  Her followers, most of which are far less educated than you, eat it right up.

I don’t care enough about this topic to dissect it.  I am curious if your answer to my earlier question though.

Businesses, vehicles, infrastructure, and even public benches were vandalized and destroyed by protesters this week after protests erupted in Los Angeles over the arrest of dozens of illegal immigrants by ICE.

A number of stores were also looted and damaged by protesters, including Adidas, T-Mobile, and a sportswear store.

“Several fires were set in dumpsters and trash bins and dozens of buildings were tagged with graffiti, including the LAPD Headquarters, the U.S. Courthouse, and the old Los Angeles Times building,” CBS News reported. “Footage on Sunday from the CBS News Los Angeles helicopter showed that multiple windows of the police headquarters had been shattered as well.”
