    I think bubba needs to chime in here. He was using the Charlottesville incident as an example of trump supporters gone wild

    This was the same type of attack with the same intended result. Bub, we even now? Or do we just realize "both sides" have good and bad folks.

    I'm safe in eastern Oklahoma. I just saw this. I think this is fake news. Total witch hunt. Biggest fake story since the Russia Hoax.

    Another leftist goes ape **** and assaults a teenaged Trump supporters. Link.

    Is this a big deal? No. It's just a crazy person acting crazy. What is a big deal is that the media coverage is woefully unfair. The national mainstream media is going to largely ignore this story. If the parties were reversed, it would be a massive national story that would dominate cable "news" discussions.

    Mr D
    Yes much like the Covington Catholic teen story dominated the faux news for days.

    And even if you bought the initial narrative, all we were talking about was smirk. Sandmann didn't even allegedly assault or say anything to anyone. He got ripped a new one. He just had a "look" they didn't like.

    To be fair, that MAGA hat gives everyone that look. It's just a horrible looking hat. I've seen some Trump 2020 hats that are OK. Those like our orange crazy uncle wears might as well have the twisted rope along the front. Brown Velour Adjustable Golf Hat | Street Level Clothing

    My 70 year old cousin is a sick hater of Trump. He said he wanted to smack the smirk off the Covington kids face. I wanted him to say it to my face but let it go. He's obsessed and EXACTLY LIKE THE TOTALITARIAN SOCIALISTS. Arrogant as F*ck.

    But guess what? His social life is a mess. His children won't speak to him.

    He. Doesn't. Mention. It. Ever.

    He's a Trump hater. That is is his identity. How many out there have deferred all sense of decency, rational thought and common courtesy over this affliction? I am thinking it's in the millions.

    We have a sick country.

    Red state trump hating is bile producing endeavor. That and some of my dearest friends are trump supporters. Some of my best employees are trumpers. My boss is a trumper. We just don't discuss it unless it's funny. I mean there are longhorns married to Sooners. Sooners can enjoy banter with longhorns. :)

    People have to realize that national politics is not personal.

    I agree. Unfortunately it's not with far too many people. The insults on Facebook amongst former long-time friends are incredible. Just bad bad bad.

    I don't engage at all on Facebook. I just post prose/poetry.

    I think you're very civil and I appreciate it very much.

    That's my Valentines Day card to you! Ha...

    You're not wrong. I joke that our OU fraternity had more homosexuals than Democrats. Sadly I've seen some decades long friendships go south due to social media and politics. I just remember these knuckleheads are the same ones that I knew from the 80's and 90's. We debated it at 2:00 then, now online.

    I engage very little - just a remark here and there on some pages (never my own). Ironically, the one place where I do have significant political discussions on Facebook is on the page of a gay socialist from Massachusetts whom I've never actually met. He and I have two mutual friends and sometimes commented on their pages and had pretty good discussions. Obviously, I have huge disagreements with him, but he's intellectually honest and always respectful, so I'll invest a little time to engage with him. Other than that, it's all dick-measuring contests and pissing matches. Not worth the time or trouble.

    I truly appreciate the intellectually honest folks that I disagree with. And the ones with a sense of humor.

    The left has more serious mental illness than the right. See slatestarcodex blog:

    But is being left-wing the cause of their mental illness, or is mental illness the reason they became left wing? Both options seem rather viable.

    Which is the horse, and which the cart?

    Guys. This is Antifa unmasked and unafraid of blowback.

    Listen to the words of murder and hate. You can't reason with this ideology.

    Can't you be thrown in jail for threatening to kill someone? This is a direct and imminent threat. The situation ended peacefully I assume. But shouldn't there have been 2-3 people pointing a gun at the Antifa guy and telling him to leave?

    Somebody would have to prosecute him. In SF, that's not going to happen. They're too busy looking for the next Jussie Smollett case.

    Did y'all know that Antifa is animated by Critical Race Theory? The foundational belief of Critical Race Theory is that all white people are racist and racism is the biggest obstacle in the world standing in the way of making the world a fair place to live. Furthermore, in Critical Race Theory, any attempt by a white person to become unracist is seen as a threat against POCs. That means there is no way to redeem white people.

    If you believed all that. What would your cure for racism be?

    So I must be racist because I have no intention of killing myself.
