Hell if I know. If I had to guess; I’d say we have quite a few rocking the velcro sneakers so they don’t have to try and tie their shoes for 30 minutes every morning. 
 

 

I’ve read some stupid ***** before. I’ve probably even posted one or two of my own. But this place has a couple that routinely outdo themselves.

So, the governors of Washington and Oregon are inept enough that they need Trump to order them what to do?

He wants Trump to order states to do whatever, then he can call him a dictator.....and he'd be right

Explain how any group advocating for a command economy and authoritarian regimes can sit next to a libertarian on a political spectrum.  Even simpler, explain a political spectrum where both ends are authoritarian.  Seriously, I am definitely open to hearing an explanation about this.

It's certainly hard to categorize, but generally speaking Libertarian/Authoritarian is the vertical axis and Liberal/Conservative are the horizontal axis. They don't necessarily coincide exclusively with one or the other. That said, the 'woke' culture is pretty much top left corner (Liberal Authoritarians).

Portland Riots Summed Up -- A Defense Line of Mothers Formed to Shield Their Kids From Federal Agents

 

 

Had The Babylon Bee made this post they would be criticized for being too outlandish.

 

One of the running commentaries you hear frequently regarding Antifa and its hordes of black-clad pre-pubescent anarchists is that they were just in their parents’ basement the week before. It is a shorthand way of dismissing them as less-than-influential, but now in a remarkable happenstance this dismissive insult has in a way been proven correct. Rioters actually — LITERALLY — had their mothers coming out to defend them.

 

It has been a dizzying reality to watch the elected officials of cities like Seattle and Portland stand back and offer support to the rioters and Antifa goons, all while holding their police at bay and allowing these thugs to run rampant in their cities. When Federal authorities arrived last week in Portland we have heard more of an outcry over the authoritarian agents than about the illegalities that have been permitted for nearly 2 months. It was in reaction to these agents in town that this weekend’s comedy played out.

 

On Saturday as curfews went ignored and the onyx-outfitted occupiers were roaming the streets a phalanx of Karens came out to stand arm-in-arm, chanting, all to protect their kids from the federal agents in town. Yes – seriously. It is the kind of thing I wish I had dreamed up for the sake of merriment and satire, but here they have ruined it. Moms actually came out to shield their precious vandals.

 

 

That these social activists fail to see their message gets slightly undercut with the presence of being protected by Mom is also good material. Your outrage loses a bit of its venom when you resort to raging at a cop with, ”You’re lucky my Mom is here, Pig!’’

 

This scene actually speaks on so many levels, and each of those illustrates what many have been saying for some time now about Portland — just let the city crumble under its own ignorance. The image of a blockade of Hens who brought juice boxes and Lunchables for their rioting progeny is the perfect message of what is wrong with that city. 

 

It shows they raised these kids to be privileged cranks who are above accountability. They are the typical parent we have seen who coddle rather than teach right and wrong, so they let them run rampant with inflated self-esteem. They also have a warped impression of safety, because most parents would consider it a far wiser move to remove their kids from a social flare-up, but not here. The Moms turn to the cops and demand they be the ones who restrain themselves.

Covid is NOT out of control, and certainly not in the vast vast majority of the country. You are clueless.

Yeah, cause everyone knows a demonstration or riot is equivalent to a war for independence huh?

 

I mean, the only major difference I can think of is one risks their life, liberty and fortune, the other is only willing to risk someone else life, liberty and fortune.

 

Really?   Look up James Chaney,  Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwermer, Medgar Evers, Allison Beth Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder.

...it's on the books so let's get started.....

 

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331–335; amended 2006, 2007) that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection and rebellion.

The act provides a "statutory exception" to the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limits the use of military personnel under federal command for law enforcement purposes within the United States.^[1][2]

 

Before invoking the powers under the Act, 10 U.S.C. § 254 requires the President to first publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse.

I think that’s fair but not how it’s most people refer to the political spectrum when doing so. 
 

it’s mostly viewed that on the far left you have communism and the far right you has fascism. I would argue that the actual spectrum should have some keep differences, primarily the role of government vs individual freedom. I think you could make an argument that anarachism is closer to far right as it is than Nazis. 
 

In the quadrant approach, the vast majority of people consider themselves “conservative” or “right” meaning they want less government intervention and more individual freedoms. They also believe in the constitution as written and federalism. They don’t care about race, sexuality, marriage, and all these other third rail issues. In other words, this paradigm people subscribe to is (IMO) is purposefully wrong to keep division and obfuscate the actual choice, which is more or less government control.

this marxist movement today has absolutely nothing in common with civil rights activists from the 60s. Then was a struggle for the rights of individuals, now is more them wanting to transform this country to suit their marxist beliefs
