Media are now painting the leader of Florida proud boys as a police informant because they can't accuse a black bloke of being a white supremacist.

Media also full of "possible domestic terrorist attacks" articles.. then when you actually read the FBI report they said they aren't aware of ANY credible threats, but it helps Nancy keep her stormtroppers in DC for another couple of months.

Pressure to get kids back in school has been labeled as "white privilege" by the teachers union
I have no information on the leader of the Florida Proud Boys is, but if he is a black bloke he really needs to have a word with himself. With a name like Enrique Tarrio I would imagine he has a bit of (ultimately) Spanish heritage, perhaps that counts as black to the mixed-up US media?

Technically true, if a little misleading.

I was born in a crossfire hurricane, but it's all right now.
The building I was born in was a Workhouse and years later I worked for the company that made the door for the Millennium Falcon.

Both of those are technically true...

He's black/Cuban... there's no shortage of black/hispanic/asians in the PB because it's NOT a white supremacist outfit. but the media would like you to think it is.

If you were born before the mid eighties that was probably more likely than being born when there wasn't a miner's strike. Or the dockers, Or BL workers. Or the steel industry.

Enrique Tarrio 'once a prolific police informer', wonder if being revealed as a grass will have an impact on his lifestyle?

Of course, that was the motive behind him being outed by Volkischer Beobachter.

DoD just announced a 60 day political purge of the US military, & now LA is getting bombarded with ad spots claiming local Congressman Mike Garcia is with Q Anon. No word if the Sec of Transport has started scheduling the cattle cars yet.

Imagine if through some chicanery involving dodgy postal votes, Corbyn got into power, sat down at his desk and started making up laws. One law might be that you can only be a soldier if you vote labour, anyone who votes Tory or has ever voted Tory is disallowed until the proposed re-education camps have been set-up (I shit you not...).

If you do not accept the party line on a number of highly contentious issues I dare not repeat, you are de-facto a terrorist and a white power racist. Again, I am not making this up. They will "hunt you down" (their words) and punish you.

I can hardly believe it tbh and I neither can the Democrats believe their luck. They are consolidating their position and changing the entire county to make it impossible for any conservative government to ever form again. The USA is now a single party state and Biden is making dictatorial changes to make sure it stays that way, including politicising the military.

I am at a loss to explain what is happening more simply. Perhaps your "giggling" is because you don't believe it.

I don't believe it either and yet it is happening right in front of our eyes.

Imagine you are a moderate political party, call them Democrats if you like. Policies that would be considered Centre, or even Centre-Right in many other civilised countries.

You have just inherited power from a Right Wing bunch who don't like stuff, let's call them the GOP They don't like blacks, gays, abortion, religious freedom, social care, and a whole host of other stuff that is normal in other countries. You won that election by persuading lots of people who traditionally CBA to vote to actually register and use a postal vote, but the GOP bunch think this is election fraud, persuading the have-nots to actually vote is a crime in their book.

After you win you decide to sort out a few urgent things, like racism and corruption in the police for a start. You know, the shoot first, question survivors attitude that seems to exist alongside a propensity to shoot at black people a lot more than at white ones. You have to understand that these police are not white supremacists, or racist, or anything nasty. No, it's just the way they have always done stuff, and they plan to carry on doing it. And they get all upset when they get called out and threatened with being fired or disciplined, or even (Heaven forfend) prosecuted.

Anyway, it turns out that the GOP thinks that messing with traditions in this area is wrong too

The GOP show this hatred of blacks & gays by having the lowest unemployment rate among blacks since the Democrats fought the keep them slaves then instigated a $500Billion plan to improve their lives. I wish some fucker hated me with such a passion.
& then appointed the first openly gay ambassador.
The cops must be terrible shots, they keep killing more white people than blacks. Maybe the light skin makes them easier to hit?
