(5,123 posts)None of these forgotten men that we are supposed to try to understand, can cite anything that trump did to benefit their lives or community. What they love is the sickness of hate, racism and white supremacy.
It boils my blood that we have dems not wanting to get rid of the filibuster. We are at a critical point. Its democracy or what people like this want.

(16,783 posts)This goes to show just how dangerous the Trump cult is and what lengths they will go to to achieve their goals.
They must be stopped, even if they are elected members of Government.
Just shared this on my Facebook timeline because it is just too important to ignore. We have a duty to make this viral, to show just how much this country and all her flaws, are worth preserving.

(57,077 posts)... I am not known for my great love of the police, but Officer Fanone and the members of the Capitol and the Metro DC police that I've seen seem to have their heads screwed on straight.
I consider myself lucky to have the Marble Falls Police from the chief down. They all work hard and seem fair.
Our elected Constables, not so much. Some of them are knee deep in RW/Q booshwa.

(11,730 posts)anyone who talks like that caller, is usually a coward and would run away from a fight, or only participate if the odds were stacked in their favor (I.E. part of a mob attack ). In Spanish we say, "Perro que ladra, no muerde" (A dog who barks, doesn't bite), or basically people who talk shit are cowards.
It is still disturbing because a coward like the caller can still be dangerous with a gun. I am sure if the caller ever actually had a chance to confront Fanone one to one, the caller would piss his pants and run away, or end up on the seat of his ass.

The people who support TFG talk about democracy but what they really want is a dictatorship.
And they want to be the police who will beat people into submission, lock em up
Literally throw away the keys oh and since we imprisoned them well take their house and belongings.
This caller wants to be the American version of a German SS officer. And if he was allowed to do this not only would he profess to be a proud merican he would enjoy every minute that he hurt someone.
Please find him.
