billvon 3,170 #1 Posted September 29 In the latest demonstration that right wing extremism is the #1 cause of violence in the US, Trump supporter Thomas Sanford shot twelve people at a church in Michigan, four of whom died. He then set fire to the church before fleeing. In 2019, Sanford was photographed wearing a Trump 2020 T-shirt. The slogan: "Make Liberals Cry Again." And in June 2025, his house still had a Trump sign outside. The violence Trump has fomented is getting worse, fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,170 #3 September 29 And now Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting death threats from Trump supporters because she is demanding the release of the Epstein files. Imagine claiming this might happen a year ago. The usual suspects here would claim you were insane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a society that I do not want to live in. I am all for civil disobedience. I have no problem with someone standing on a sidewalk with a sign in their hand; as long as they do not block the sidewalk. Just stay on the sidewalk. And, keep quiet after 10 PM.

billvon 3,170 #10 September 30 Why o why is right wing political terrorism increasing? Trump and the republicans have done nothing to incite their supporters to murder democrats! ========================================================================================== GOP lawmaker calls for Dem congresswoman to be executed for urging Trump protests Rep. John Gillette escalates rhetoric despite colleagues’ calls for civility after recent political violence By:Jerod MacDonald-Evoy-September 25, 20255:05 pm An Arizona Republican lawmaker on Wednesday called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to protest in the streets. Kingman Republican Rep. John Gillette wrote on the social media site X that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington, was calling for the the government to be overthrown and should be hanged. “Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged.. it will continue,” Gillette said in response to a video of Jayapal. ============================================================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 916 #14 September 30 Today's biggest things, so far: "Turn off your body cams" Second highest justice official “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room — of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.” Trump Hegseth said the military will ensure “every designated combat arms position returns to the highest male standard.” And then Trump says he will use cities for military training his new quick response assault team. I am sick realizing how quick, painless, and bloodless this has been. So far. Wonder when the first civilians will be mowed down. With Kegstand's new SS doing the work. Oh well, back to pretending American life is normal....while living in the New AmeriKKKa. damn Hey Nigel, can I bring my Harleys to Australia?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A frequent SC poster PM'd me a week or so back. He was pissed because I kept posting about fraud, corruption and the endless criminal and unconstitutional acts from the Trump administration. I guess he thought should just post positive things about America. The Winston Churchill approach. War and cancer is messy, dirty.

Phil, for shame, that is nothing less than an intentional misrepresentation of what I sent to you: "Phil, I’m glad you are here. But sadly I needed to block you to avoid all of the long reposts of news I already get. For me it’s tedious. I hope you stop that and return to great commentary." Perhaps if you read more and read into less your would have noticed I mentioned nothing about subject matter in my message to you and have hardly squirmed away from criticizing my country on these pages. I simply find long reposts of common news in this forum silly and lazy, just as I do most youtube video bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,489 #21 October 2 Hi folks, I learned something that I did not know, from the local news; on-line and tv. Since Trump has called up 200 Oregon Nat'l Guard troops, the State of Oregon has to cover those costs. As of now, that is estimated to be $3.8 million; and, could go to $10 million. Hmmmm.
