FBI Says Prepare For MAGA Terrorists In All 50 States

No, actually, we don't need, or care, to argue about the crimes that Trump was long ago found guilty of.

I frankly don't care about the 450 trillion dollars' worth--or whatever your latest claim is--of property damage during the BLM protests, nor do I care if some offices were trashed during the Capitol insurrection. What I do care about is that the BLM protestors had legitimate grievances, while the MAGA rioters did not. Yet, you and your kind continue to try to act as if they were essentially the same.

Good God, you must really hate Black people! What's behind that? A good ol' Southern boy upbringing? On second thought, don't tell me--I don't want to know.

Whatever percentage of professed Republicans voted for Trump this time---I think it was 97%, though I'm not sure of the exact percentage--is the same percentage as those who actually approved of the Capitol riots, murder, and mayhem. Why? Because Trump was very clear that if he lost, he would foment a rebellion. He would declare the results fraudulent and call on his loyal followers to march on the Capitol. That's what he promised--over and over. And Trump did what he said he would.

The poll numbers are lower than that because most people don't want to come out and say, even to an anonymous pollster, that they support murder, insurrection, and the destruction of our democracy. That sort of expression is confined to online chat rooms, secretive meetings in basements where people bring their guns to fondle, long, late-night sessions watching Fox News and masturbating, and of course, the ballot box.

I think you're perfectly correct that the Republican party has become the party of the wackos and nutballs. I mean, the list of violent crackerhead Trumper organizations is almost endless. (Insert dumbass Trumper comment about Antifa.) The MAGA rioters were Trumpers through and through, and they're not going away. Over 74 million people were complicit in and supported murder and insurrection. Everyone who voted for Trump is a traitor and if not directly a criminal, certainly an accessory to crimes. We can't live with those people.

Any violence caused by BLM was not sponcered or incited by sitting members of our Federal goverment.    Nor was it motivated to overthrow our Democracy.     The captial riot was sponcered by people from Trump's White House, Mitch McConnell's Senate, Self Idenified QANon subscribers in the House   and the wife of a sitting US Supreme Court Judge.    

And if Boilerman wants to talk about dollars costing the economy...the MAGA morons who have lived in defiance of wearing a mask have cost this economy TRILLIONS of dollars.   TRILLIONS.     Thats not a guess...thats the money we had to spend to keep the country from collapsing because asking TeaParty retards to wear a mask was too much of a sacrafice for them to make for their country.      the Sturgis retards on their MagaMobiles cost the country a shitload more money than the broken windows in Portland.   

I dont condone people who engaged in either...but one was much worse than the other.    Dollars dont lie.

“Trump did’nt do jack shit for the Black community”

So, you don’t think criminal justice reform did anything for Blacks?

lowest unemployment for minorities on record

highest wages for Blacks

Black college reform

Improved housing

of course you would have thought the former President would have at least did criminal justice reform! But oh hell no!

You'll have to be more specific about what criminal justice reform Trump bestowed on the nation, how exactly he was responsible for it, and how exactly it benefited Blacks.

And to repeat: Trump can't take credit for the Obama economy he inherited--and then wrecked. So unemployment, wages, housing---nothing that Trump did. Unless you can name some initiative that Trump sponsored or executive order he signed that specifically benefited the Black population and was intended to do so.

I won't accept whatever distortions you might dream up to "prove" that Trump actually did anything to improve the economy. The economy improved while he was President (until it tanked). That doesn't mean he had anything to do with it. The sun rose every morning while he was President, too. Don't bother debating that.

You'll also have to explain just what you mean by "Black college reform" and what Trump did in that regard.

I'm curious as to why you still worship that awful man, but that's something deep within your psyche, and I no more want to actually see it than I want to turn over a rock and see what's squirming beneath it. 

Well I certainly don’t “worship” him. As a matter of fact I would probably not support him he runs for election again in 2024, which I don’t see happening.

Did you happen to notice gas prices are up $0.25 since the election? Executive order to stop the Keystone pipeline is another screw up. They will now just truck and send the oil on the rails! Both of those choices will release more carbon than a pipeline.

    Get ready for an increase in anything you purchase for the next couple years and YES your taxes will go up as well. But, you had to have known all this when you voted for Biden.

Your taxes will go up because that's an integral part of the Trump tax plan passed in 2017. Many folks were fooled by the fact that the average Joe got a very small tax break---what was hidden in the plan was that that break would be canceled out in two years and rates would rise after that---with the result that the taxes the average Joe is liable for in 2020 are higher than they would have been without the Trump changes. It was a great shell game, and it fooled a lot of people!

Your comments about the Keystone pipeline show that you don't know its history or its purpose. It was meant to ship Canadian oil out of North America to Europe via the Gulf of Mexico. The Alberta crude to be shipped via Keystone is high-sulfur and doesn't meet US environmental standards, so it can't be sold in the US. Therefore, its completion or non-completion won't have any effect on US gas prices.

Except for 2015 and 2020, inflation over the past decade has averaged about 2%. It was less in 2020 because of the Trump virus's effect on the global economy. So when the Biden post-pandemic economy picks up, prices will rise. Just as they have almost every year since World War II.

If you support jobs in the fossil fuel industry (and judging by your comments on Keystone XL you do) then you should be glad gas is more expensive.    Drillers lose money on $30/barrell oil and go out of business....like you've been seeing over the last year.    

And when it comes to saving money at the pump you've saved alot more due to innovated fuel efficiency as regulated by the government than due to cheap gas.     And you'll be saving a ton more as the transition to EV vehicles cntinues to fly in the face of our resident board members who ridiculed that prospect for years here.

Makes you wonder how much further along we'd be regarding sustainable energy sources, electric vehicles, emissions reduction, etc. if the fossil fuel industry hadn't offered billions in bribes to Republican lawmakers to stop all that from happening. The money they gave the Republicans was stolen from you and me---price fixing, collusion, monopoly markets. They've made the nation dance on puppet strings for decades, because let's face it, how many people can do without a car or heat for their houses? Damn few. So we pay pay pay pay pay.

Fortunately, we've had Democratic executives and legislators from time to time, and they've acted responsibly. That's why we have things like emission standards and MPG mandates at all. It should have started 40 years ago. The technology to build a 50 MPG car isn't new at all. But the fossil fuel companies wanted to keep us chained to the gas pump. So they spewed propaganda (I'm really surprised that they haven't said that electric cars cause cancer) and paid Republicans to keep screwing us over.

So now we're in a probably irreversible global climate disaster that will kill hundreds of millions of people. But Senator Lickspittle and Congressman Spreadlegs got a new Lexus every year! That makes it all worthwhile, right?

Fossil fuel companies have made huge investments in electric battery companies and other alternative sources as such. To mostly not miss out on the opportunities that they will provide.  They know it’s the future and they would not be doing themselves justice by ignoring it. Both parties have enjoyed generous gifts from energy companies.
