Don't give me the "Both Sides" argument.


Sen. Schmitt hits it on the head. The left is dropping off bricks, weapons, signs, bussing in violent paid protestors. Its coordinated. When they get thrown in jail, there are hundreds of funds put together by the left wing to bail out the criminals and put them back on the streets. Antifa, the furries (so fucking weird), lgbtqrstuw….. groups are now killing people and are organized. There are hundreds if not thousands of ngo's that are espousing coordinated violence against Conservatives. There are no such Conservative sites. Only far left criminals do that shit. So enough with the both sides argument.
In the attached article I was astounded to see that Bluesky was so overwhelmed with liberals glorifying Charlie Kirks murder that they had to warn their users to knock it off.
I wonder if buck is still claiming that he never heard a liberal glorifying the murder of a political ideological opposite. It must suck when a liberals lie gets the sheet pulled off it in about 5 minutes.
Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt rejected the idea that "both sides" are to blame for escalating political violence in the U.S., saying, "the George Soros empire has financed a vast ecosystem of radicals, all working together, dropping off bricks at riots to unleash a tidal wave of violent anarchists on our streets and to prop it up in an army of researchers and experts and journalists and propagandists who downplay the political violence."
"Bluesky, the left-wing alternative to X, was so overwhelmed with these posts that the platform was forced to issue a statement warning its users to stop glorifying the murder. And it wasn’t just random social media trolls. It was journalists, elite college professors, and even politicians, all but saying Charlie’s assassination was justified because of what he thought, because of what he said," Schmitt said. "And don’t tell me it’s both sides. It didn’t happen in a vacuum."
"Over the past decade, we’ve seen an explosion of political violence — not just one-off lone-wolf attacks, but organized, systemic political violence at a mass scale. It is not organic," he said. "It is the offspring of a dark and clandestine system funded in part with our own tax dollars, woven together with a large network of foundations, NGOs, activist organizations, and front groups. This system lurks behind every radical leftist movement in our nation today."

You get that argument because it does happen on both sides. Social media and high school loser posts on X being cited as fact is killing the nation. End of discussion.

The violence and the lies are coming from the left. When you need to lie to make your point (I'm talking to you Jimmy Kimmel) then maybe you don't have a point.

Eighty-three percent of those murdered since 1975 were killed by the 9/11 terrorists (Figure 1). The Oklahoma City Bombing accounts for about another 5 percent. Those murdered since 2020 account for just 2 percent. Terrorists inspired by Islamist ideology are responsible for 87 percent of those murdered in attacks on US soil since 1975 (Table 1). Right-wingers are the second most common motivating ideology, accounting for 391 murders and 11 percent of the total. The definition here of right-wing terrorists includes those motivated by white supremacy, anti-abortion beliefs, involuntary celibacy (incels), and other right-wing ideologies.
Left-wing terrorists murdered 65 people, or about 2 percent of the total. Left-wing terrorists include those motivated by black nationalism, anti-police sentiment, communism, socialism, animal rights, environmentalism, anti-white ideologies, and other left-wing ideologies. Those murders that are politically motivated by unknown or other ideologies are a vanishingly small percentage, which is unsurprising because terrorists typically want attention for their causes.
Because the 9/11 attacks dominate the data, it may make sense to exclude them because they obscure other trends, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks are also plausibly distinct (Table 2). Keeping all other Islamist attacks and excluding 9/11 reduces the number of murders to 620 from 3,599 and cuts the Islamist share of murder from 87 percent to 23 percent. It similarly raises the right-wing share of murders in terrorist attacks from 11 percent to 63 percent, the left-wing share from about 2 percent to 10 percent, and the unknown/other share to 1 percent.
The government can and should vigorously pursue justice for Kirk and all the others murdered by politically motivated terrorists, but it can and should do so without new political witch hunts, expanded government powers, and a revived war on terrorism. Furthermore, we should all at least realize how uncommon politically motivated terrorism is.

Our data suggest that right-wing extremists pose the most significant terrorism threat to the United States, based on annual terrorist events and fatalities. Over the next year, the threat of terrorism in the United States will likely increase based on several factors, such as the November 2020 presidential election and the response to the Covid-19 crisis. These factors are not the cause of terrorism, but they are events and developments likely to fuel anger and be co-opted by a small minority of extremists as a pretext for violence.
Older article, but the roots have been going back for years. You can have your feelings but the data suggests otherwise.

Can't imagine why the government removed this.

CuckDucks cites Biden lies and data. Short people…

Just don't call it abnormal behavior or mental illness. All you need to know about furries. Surprised soccer dudette didn't let us in on his secret.

Just a "Classic MAGA" Kind of Assassin
—Ace
From gKVWE, this guy was pure Christian conservative.
The man charged with killing Charlie Kirk played a pornographic online game called 'Furry Shades of Gay' and followed artists who drew explicit cartoons associated with pedophilia.
Tyler Robinson, 22, was arraigned on seven charges on Tuesday including murder and witness tampering for allegedly shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk at the Utah Valley University campus last week.
Robinson's online accounts, uncovered by the Daily Mail, show the alleged assassin had an interest in gay porn involving humanoid animal characters called 'furries'.
Wow it's like they're talking about me!
An account linked to Robinson on gaming platform Steam shows he downloaded and played a dating simulator game called 'Furry Shades of Gay'.There is an account by that name on FurAffinity.com, a website for people with a proclivity for humanoid animal illustrations and dressing up in fur suits, who call themselves 'furries'.
Last week, Craftin247's account on FurAffinity said he had 'recently watched' content created by a user called RedRusker -- an artist known for gay furry porn.
I feel seen.
But RedRusker went too far even for the furries.
In 2023, he was embroiled in a scandal among the niche community when underage porn cartoons he had drawn resurfaced.
One depicted a large older humanoid animal using recreational drugs to have sex with a small, younger humanoid possum called Snack, labeled as being 'age 8' in the depraved comic.
A redacted image viewed by the Daily Mail shows one older character saying to another 'popper him up for me, it'll help', apparently referring to giving drugs to the eight-year-old possum character.
So, what I know about gay culture (via garrett): Poppers -- amyl nitrate -- are taken to dilate the anus and make anal sex more comfortable.
Amyl nitrate more like anal nitrate am i rite
The cartoon is about drugging a "cub" to prepare him for anal rape.
Just classic conservative stuff right there. I see him wearing a sporty Ivy League sweater and smoking a pipe.
Furries call the pedophilia-related content 'cub' porn.
In a May 2023 post on FurAffinity, RedRusker admitted there was 'art I made that depicted underage characters' and 'there are about a dozen or so pieces in total.'

You should. It's your answer
-
I don't see anything factual here. The most 'radical' side right now in any case is MAGA which is trying to convert the US into a far right authoritarian state. It's working too.
-
You know what an authoritarian state looks like? This is your side. My side said follow the ACTUAL SCIENCE and was banned.
-
So predictable. The gals want evidence. It's provided. They slam it as fake and gay.
"whY woN'T anYoNe dEbAtE wIth US"
you don't want the smoke because that's not what you're about. you want to spout whatever bullshit you want, cite nothing, and have your pals smile and nod, because that's what Trump does. MAGA summed up in a concise, easy to read fashion. Even for the gals here.

No evidence
Not proven in court

poor gramps.

No evidence

post through it. every time gramps is confronted with evidence he plugs his ears and floods the zone.

Bidenbros are famous for their standards of "evidence". Just ask THE SCIENCE.

Little h needs to look at his work in the election fraud thread
Among others
No evidence

I trust the experts in government and not some message board blueanon conspiracy theorists.
-
MAGA likes fact free commentary.
-
your excuses for being unable to click an article with actual research and hard evidence is pretty pathetic.
Gramps is obviously trolling but you're just sputtering.
-
The experts say antifa is a terrorist organization. Bluetards with poor education think they know better 😂
-
"The Experts" meaning Trump rambling on Truth Social. Fascinating.
-
"Actual research"
-
you could read it. but you won't. I knew the responses when I posted it.
-
"don't give me the both sides argument"
OK, here's arguments backed up by hard facts and research that it is in fact both sides.
"fake and gay, no evidence, blueanon."
Pussies. And you wonder why you have to confine your group therapy sessions on a college football board.
-
You posted a pile of garbage from people who think the PTA are terrorists
But no evidence
-
fake and gay, no evidence, blueanon.
you're a pussy, gramps. thanks for playing.

I'm sorry for your loss
