first, an appetizer...current year's trigglypuff...the clip is in the first link kids:

this screeching creature
– apparently a professor – was rendered outraged and hysterical when one of her leftist associates was arrested following an unprovoked assault on the writer Gavin McInnes. This professional educator seems to believe that she and her comrades should be able to assault people, as they deem fit, with impunity.




now, on to the next little story...

Ian Miles Cheong on the mob thuggery at UC Berkeley and its ‘progressive’ cheerleaders:



Vocal members of the progressive left took to social media to voice their support for the riot, dubbing it a legitimate resistance movement against the Trump administration. Feminist film director Lexi Alexander, who has directed episodes of Arrow, Supergirl and American Gothic, encouraged rioters to set the campus on fire. Her calls to “join the resistance” were echoed by comedian and actress Sarah Silverman, whose outspoken calls for violent insurrection have only escalated with each passing day... Polygon senior editor Ben Kuchera expressed support for the violence, saying it was okay to punch anyone who mocked safe spaces. And Arthur Chu, the perpetually “woke” male feminist ally, invited his followers to cheer about the brutalisation of a young woman who was assaulted as she conducted an interview.

Oh yes, with lowest approval ratings in history and almost half of the population wanting to impeach the guy.

How are you this dumb? :lol:

Here's a large part of the problem.

Generally speaking, to a person on the right, a lefty is someone who disagrees, someone perhaps stupid, or mistaken, or just plain wrong.

Generally speaking, to a person on the left, right wing people are evil.

That excuses the left's violence, their suppression of free speech, their desire to see their political opponents locked up...........in other words, in their eyes their battle against the forces of evil excuses whatever evil the left wishes to visit upon the right, as the left is acting in defense of all that is good and proper to prevent "evil" from destroying it.

The level of arrogance and stupidity necessary to maintain this attitude is mind-boggling.

Specifically speaking, all of these political terms are bull**** and you guys are idiots for continuously falling for them.

What a silly post

It is.

Why did you post this then?

Specifically speaking, all of these political terms are bull**** and you guys are idiots for continuously falling for them.

Yeah, to apply them strictly is stupid, that's why I used the term "generally". I have views drawn from both the left and right wing parts of the spectrum. So do most people.

And the spectrum should really be a circle.......when you go far right or far left, the result is exactly the same........Nazi Germany or Stalinist USSR......no difference really. None.

Except, going by what the terms are intended to mean, Trumpites are on the left.

Which is why the comparisons to Hitler are entirely appropriate.

I loved the part about the left wanting to "lock up" the other side. Given the last year's nonstop "lock her up" chants from the Trumpites, do you think Colpy has the foggiest idea how idiotic his post was.

And let's not even get started on the years of Teabagger whining

You mean the teabaggers that were funded by larger, rich entities behind the scenes?

I wonder if Soros was one of their benefactors. :lol:

Sigh

Hillary Clinton is a criminal. Her use of personal servers while Secretary of State and her subsequent destruction of evidence was stupid, a blatant violation of the law, and a massive security breach. Everybody knows it. Nobody is prosecuting her.

Meanwhile, such illustrious lefties as Bill Nye the Fascist Guy, and our own David Suzuki want to arrest people that do not believe in the Global Warming mantra, and throw them in jail.

Hillary Clinton certainly wasn't a criminal and she was legitimately exhonerated while Trump is breaking every constitutional law he can find.
