What’s going to be the bigger shit show today?

I wasn't the one chanting 'Traitor', and 'Where the fuck are they? yesterday in Washington.

I haven't told anybody here at TNCR to go fuck themselves, or attacked them for being stupid, or evil.

And yet I'm the hater.

It strikes me that I'm not the only person here who needs to take a long, hard look in the fucking mirror.

Aimed at me, I know. My responses like that are not motivated by hate, but by frustration. I get tired of never having my opinions taken seriously, I get tired of the kind of debate thats like herding cats, where no matter how well you nail down a point, the other person shifts to another issue or something, never once saying "you've got a point, I'll think about it". And I get tired of being personally attacked by the same little group of losers, like AndyD for instance - a guy who first attacked me straight out of the blue years ago and has done nothing else since.

And yes, I get tired of the comments like "Trump's massive failures". Trump was one of if not the most successful presidents in history. I don't really care how anyone feels about him personally, but at least have the decency to give the man credit where it's due.

Maybe it's time for me to just move on. There doesn't seem to be room for anyone not willing to join the never ending TDS circle jerk.

Not just you, no, but you've said some pretty nasty stuff.

We all say things we probably shouldn't, but then I get accused of being gleeful about somebody dying, and I'm supposed to just grin and bear it. Fuck that. Nothing I have ever said would make this a justifiable charge.

blaming liberals for the invasion and not the sitting president who egged the right-wing extremists on, attempting to discredit myriad state and federal leaders who criticized the president, and attacking people here simply because self-image is more important than facts and relationships.

Now wait a minute. I've been clear about Trump's culpability on this and have even promoted the idea that Trump could and should face charges over this. I also feel there are other causes and this does go beyond Trump. If you want to call it blaming liberals, then go ahead and do so, but yesterday WAS a tipping point that resulted from decades of escalating cultural warfare. This started during the Bush administration, well before people took Trump seriously.

Fuck that.

Maybe what you said, does rise to that standard. Or maybe it's something somebody else said. At this point in time, I simply don't care. Simply. Do. Not. Care.

Maybe a few people need a Come To Jesus moment. Maybe some folks need to do a bit of introspection and decide whether the pithy jibe or the rhetorical riposte was worth it. Maybe this is what people get, when the throttle is always open.

Maybe some people have pushed the TDS button too hard, too many times and often in error. No Trump supporter on this board has ever defended him in every situation, especially his demeanor or behavior. But that doesn't matter when keeping score, does it?

I don't like what I see in the bottom of the abyss. I hope other people don't, either.

I think you have been, too. None of this was directed at you.

I also feel there are other causes and this does go beyond Trump.

And beyond white people, too, I agree. There's a plurality of blame we have to contend with if we have any hope of fixing these problems.

yesterday WAS a tipping point that resulted from decades of escalating cultural warfare. This started during the Bush administration, well before people took Trump seriously.

Tides can be reversed. Presidents can decide not to be instigators. Political groups can try to keep the fringe of their own party in check. Just because the left has been antagonistic doesn't mean that the rest was a foregone conclusion.

The worst part? These guys didn’t even get a TV or pair of Nike’s out of this...

They got some nice stationery and other tchotchkes, though. And they could have had an assload of very nice A/V equipment if they didn't, y'know, smash it up.

Do you think some of them were as shocked as anybody that they made it through?

Well, they certainly forgot their spray cans...

@george-k seems like he’s on the other side of the street from the Fuck Da Police group.

[Doctor Phibes]

He's been identified, and apparently is a QAnon nut

That's right! I'd forgotten about that.

Nice to see he gets around.

Don't these people have, you know, jobs?

Would you hire him?

Apparently, he's an actor, a voice-over artist and a singer. IOW, he's unemployed.

Reminds me of an old Louis CK skit about a street protester. “Just because you have a magic marker and no job doesn’t mean you get to set rules for the whole intersection.”

I think we have a job waiting for him to make license plates.
