You accused me of putting a 2015 picture from last weeks protest, a few pages back, now you're doubting the validity of this video.

I correctly called you out on that because an image search turned up the exact same photo in several articles from a 2015 event.

I don't know where that video came from. After seeing pix of crowds in Cleveland (typo corrected) that were just posted, labeled as allegedly being trump crowds in Phoenix, I'm justified in having my doubts.

the Liberal Media only shows one side of the story or whatever is convenient for their agenda. The other side of the story has to be found elsewhere.

Hah! You're describing exactly what the alt right media does. Big time cherry picking on their part.

BTW - per a reliable source with a friend who was actually there - there were a few right wing militia, a few antifa, but mostly ... MOSTLY folks in normal street clothes carrying signs, as seen in the NPR link I posted. Overall peaceful crowd, amicable interactions with the police. By the time the police started with pepper spray, most of the crowd was already dispersing on their own.

And why not? Trump does it and I think it's a great idea... He should do it every week, just to see Liberal Media go apesh*t

It reeks of desperation.
More like he's doing it because he's a 2 bit banana republic dictator wannabe, and anything he makes on swag & donations is going in his pocket - most likely to cover his legal fees...

Just out of curiosity, checked out the site on that dude's shirt right behind trump. gods2 .com goes to honestfact .com where I learned that Cherokee indians are the real KKK slaves masters, Republican Senators blocking Trump are Cherokees & Mormons etc.

That's amazing.

I am pro gun ownership but I don't think crowds should be allowed to loiter the streets with automatic weapons, especially in tense demonstrations. I mean, what could possibly go wrong ?

Civilian semi-automatic rifles. Big difference. Automatic guns require a special license and you can't walk around with them.

Is the video with Palm Trees is from Cincy? lol

Just for the record, not all smoke is pepper gas, some just to scare people into thinking it's pepper so they go home.

Was he actually trying to pass this video off from the event last night, when it has a clear publishing date of:

Published on Mar 28, 2017

.

I'm gonna say no on that - lol!

Actually I mistyped - meant to say Cleveland. There was a pic being circulated on social media by trump supporters this am supposedly showing crowds for the Phoenix event ... until it was positively id'd as being from a 2016 Cavaliers parade. Oops.

If

Actually all that meme shows is that if you publish an old B&W photo next to a color photo showing the same city from a different vantage point, they look... different...

More of modern day Detroit...

City's definitely had problems, but that meme exaggerates . What I said about cherry picking.
If they turn it around, anyone with the guts and resources to gamble and invest now will make a killing.

I still have no idea what picture you're talking about, so lets get the record straight...

On Page 481, post #12025 you wrote: “Picture you posted with the nail in the stick? 2015. Not this weekend's event. And btw, those are Black Bloc anarchists - extremists. “

On Page 482 post #12033 I quoted you and asked: What "picture with a nail in the stick" that I posted are you talking about? Where's the picture?

So, there must be some kind of mistake, because I NEVER put a picture with "a nail on a stick" and I don't see such a picture on this thread going back at least 15 pages.

That's amazing.

Yeah, got some whacko that close to the President:

"The radical fringe activist from Miami once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult, and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites. He has called Barack Obama “The Beast” and Hillary Clinton a Ku Klux Klan member. Oprah Winfrey, he says, is the devil.

Most curiously, in the 1990s, he was charged, then acquitted, with conspiracy to commit two murders.

But Michael the Black Man loves President Trump."

Trump has bumbled his way into a position of power within the repub party. Problem is, he's wearing a suicide vest. He just showed it off again last night in Arizona.

ACLU Apologizes for ‘White Supremacy’ after Tweeting Pic of Toddler Holding U.S. Flag
The American Civil Liberties Union’s Twitter account triggered a digital uproar among followers Wednesday for promoting its child clothing line with an admitted “white supremacy” message.

The troublesome tweet contained the image of a white toddler holding an American flag and stuffed animal wearing a onesie with the ACLU logo.

So now white babies are supremacist. Liberal Logic » Simply Pathetic....

(Sigh)
I'm not going to go digging through the forum looking for it. If you're didn't post it, you didn't post it.

Anyway, not intended as a personal attack - you weren't the point of my comments. Someone posted it in conjunction with either Charlottesville or Boston. My point was that inflammatory photos and videos claiming to depict events which they do not are being intentionally disseminated on social media to stir the pot. Right is not immune to fake news. Right and left are BOTH being targeted with this crap and righties are spreading just as much of it .

Foreign social media trolls and bot accounts are impersonating both "sides"' and trying to cause division in the country.

So my actual point is whatever your opinion on trump, economy, immigration, walls, ceilings, floors, science, LGBT, the media, Switzerland, GOT, bagpipes, earthworms, etc., try not to get played by these idiots.

If Liberal Media would stick to giving us UNBIASED news, there would be no need for right wing Media, to tell us the other side of the story. They are the ones that are inflaming all the division and hatred by labeling anyone who doesn't think like them as Nazis, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, White Nationalists, Alt-Right, Fascists, Racists, Homophobia, Trans-phobia, Xenophobes, Islamophobia and so many other phobias... all of them solely targeting and describing Conservatives.

For them, Liberals are Pure and the chosen ones. They are the only ones that own the truth. They will dictate what conservatives should read, or say, otherwise they will be shut down, mercilessly by the thought police (Liberal Media)

I wouldn't waste more than the 2 minutes (1 for each) I wasted on those two threads, even if George Soros offered me a million bucks
