Hey-Seuss Christo, Get A Load of This Clown. But How Far Do We Really Want To Go With This Story?

I don't really have anything to say on this. Except for my mind immediately begins to wonder again if this is all a set up.

Psycho worship of an individual. And appears to be a brown fellow too (self-hating?). What the fuck is going on here? Sloppy CIA/FBI work.

On the aspect of the minority citizen-turned-raving-conservative I always wondered when seeing the plethora of American flags around town after 9/11 how many were immigrants (and especially Muslims) who felt it was a mandatory thing now in the country that one had to appear as a firm patriot in the eyes of the public.

Just this weekend I walked into a Jewish deli in the Bronx to take a look at the menu. The dark Middle Eastern guy behind the counter asked what my "Kap" hoodie meant (it's an exact replica of the NFL logo with the letters KAP instead). We got into to a little hot and heavy, to an extent that my partner was beginning to pull me out of the place. He was clearly one of those folks, "proud" to be in America, and for sure a raving authoritarian, which is the case for any RW immigrant. Spouting all kinds of typical RW nonsense about respecting the flag and leaving if you don't like it.

But the other young probably Jewish fellow asked if I had seen that Kap had appeared at a Socialist group function in NYC. No, I hadn't, I said, but thanks for telling me. When I parted company with these totally opposite political guys who had to work the rest of the day next to each other behind the counter, the socialist kid smiled at me and said, "see you later, comrade." Man, I thought, that kid is a saint to have to find a way to work with such a pathetic reactionary like that loser.

The targets over politicians' faces always concerns me. That RW extremist gun culture applied to political dissent. Ain't cool at all. The second tweet even looks like Jill Stein(?), Michael Moore, a baby Obama smoking or something (of course, $hills too)? Where do these fucking people come up with this often sophomoric stuff?

This whole thing seems part and parcel for this ever-outrageous circus of the bizarro. George Carlin relished in it, without guilt.

“When you’re born into this world you’re given a ticket to the freak show. And when you’re born in America you get a front row seat.”

Actually the whole thing just sickens me so much.

Please don't feel compelled to turn this into as a long conversation as the last one was.

How does this all end?

Is there any doubt that America is a banana republic with a game show host as President, a feudal society with cable tv where folks watch the "news" in order to root for their team and build requisite resentment for the opposition?

@Mark from Queens I was buzzed shall we say, and thought it was hilarious. I tried watching it again but it sure wasn't as funny the second time around - and I probably had a little buzz on then as well. Too many damned near direct parallels to what America really is today, really just kinda creepy.

The media has been saying that they were sent to People who were critical of Trump. Every article I read about this event has said this. We know that the media gets their talking points from the government and here they are following the script.

I'm surprised that this van hasn't been ticketed yet for having those screens on his driver and passenger side windows. My car had dark tinting from the manufacture and it couldn't pass safety inspection until it was removed.

ETA - I see that I'm not the only one who thinks this about his van. I didn't see your comment below.

@EdMass in a car right away in Charlottesville. The problem is that anyone who has looked at the videos carefully will notice that the car in which the guy was arrested was not the same car as in the video.

It will all be alright because Biden will take him out behind the Gym and beat him up and He's Hitler.

BEVERLY — Daniel Frisiello attended city Democratic Committee meetings, but rarely said anything, though he was polite, according to the committee's chairman.

Duane Anderson said Frisiello attended the group's meeting on Feb. 13. He "never said anything," Anderson said, adding that he was "very quiet." But when he was spoken to, Frisiello was "always very polite," according to Anderson.

Frisiello's home on Hathaway Avenue was raided by the FBI Thursday morning. He's accused of sending at least five letters with threatening messages and a "suspicious white powder" to not only Donald Trump Jr., but other elected officials, as well.

When der Kürbisführer starts bashing immigrants from Latin America rhetoric, Latino Trump supporters say to themselves, “He’s not talking about me.” Even if they are immigrants themselves, they can easily look down at other immigrants, especially those who are recent arrivals.

This guy they caught, besides being a nutjob, is probably proud to be a Latino supporter of Trump.

"taking a knee" has absolutely NOTHING to do with police or police abuses and is just an excuse to shit on the USA and everyone in it.

Same thing goes for wearing the flag on your ass. Since that was a war protest, i.e. a protest against official US policy, it at least was remotely germane.

Police violence and police racism is illegal. The flag or the government have noting to do with it.
Try wearing your city's flag on your ass or burning it to protest that.

Police violence and police racism is illegal.

And yet it keeps happening, and no one in power does anything about it. Not even the first black president and his attorneys general, both POC themselves, who had the authority to take action. (For an example of what can be done by POTUS, look to JFK and his AG, who was his brother, RFK.)

By the way, Kaepernick's protest had nothing whatsoever to do with the flag.
