You can feel them thinking: "crap, how do I distance myself from this clearly cracked Democrat party after pledging complete fealty to it, and where the hell do I go now to secure my status as an elite moralist of politics if not the Democrat party?"

Like the divorced ex-wife with four kids that burned down the family house, killed the dog and hired lawyers to drain their family bank accounts over her Ex-husband Derangement Syndrome, and now needs to figure out how she and the kids will survive.

Don't you find it curious that the media has not interviewed a single one of these rioters/protesters?

Its for a simple reason; they wouldn't be able to control the narrative because the rioters would be the worst messengers to carry the Lefts and media's water (i repeat myself).

The kids will be taken care of. She won't survive, and shouldn't. This isn't just about the commies, or the border jumpers. The AWFLs - like Felonia Von Pantsuit - are at the heart of all this psychotic bullshit. We have to stomp the AWFLs flat.

The Democratic Party is rapidly becoming a five alarm floating dumpster🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Where this all ends is anyone’s guess, but things are likely to get very messy along the way. I have no pity or sympathy for them.

This religious belief - helping the oppressed - begins in schools and universities. Junior is being indoctrinated as we speak. Nothing will change until our professorate is purged. The Academy is the problem.

How do you purge? Mao had his style, but that’s not what I mean. Here is the recipe: Defund every school of every penny, tax their endowments, and thereby collapse the education industry.

Stop illegal immigration; The unemployed professors can go pick our fruit and vegetables in the fields. SEIU has negotiated good pay, $10/hour.

I think you underestimate the levels of Trump Derangement Syndrome that exist. There’s at least 45% of the population that will be against everything he is associated with, no matter the evidence that shows any benefits.

Why don’t we send all those “peaceful protestors” to Martha’s Vineyard, so they can entertain the island fold there?

I meant to type “island folk” not island fold. I was respelled.

Let's not forget that these are also highly organized by unions. They fund it all and drop off equipment, including masks and weapons, in vans. There is nothing grass roots about this, and we have a media that doesn't care because they sympathize.

So the union bosses are legitimate targets.

Almost certainly funded by Soros, and no one is curious.

It's the perfect trap. Start with a legitimate law enforcement operation that no sane person could object to. LA goes crazy because that's what they do. Get a bunch of pictures of Mexican flags in front of burning cars. Win elections.

At this rate there won't be a Democratic President for twenty years.

Progressives again showing themselves to be spoiled adolescents. He made me do it Mom!

I can’t imagine how anyone thinks that “Trump instigated the riots” excuses the behavior of rioters. The immaturity meter reading is off the charts with this one.

During the 2020 riots in Portland, the luniest of the City Council people told us that "the police started the 'protests,'" because if it hadn't been for police brutality no one would be out on the streets.

That pissy little New Yorker cartoon perfectly captures the essential smirk of the Left towards anything common sensical, traditionally American, or just normal.....

Just sharing, hope you do not mind.

1. I honestly don’t see a difference between Al Qaeda and members supportive of the DNC at this point.

2. If extreme violence is the language they want to speak, then that’s how they should be spoken to. https://shorturl.at/OBnsS

Here are the first two paragraphs from a CNN article published yesterday. Lean back from your computer so you don't accidentally punch it into hyperspace:

"Offline, in real-world Los Angeles, most Angelenos are having a perfectly normal day. But online, the fires and riots are still raging.

"The powerful algorithms that fuel social media platforms are feeding users days-old and sometimes completely fake content about the recent unrest in L.A., contributing to a sense of nonstop crisis that doesn’t exist beyond a small part of the sprawling city."

As Brad explains, the optics are awful. So the response of Team Blue is to dismiss them. Reframe them. Minimize their scope. L.A. is a big city. Sprawling. And the violence is confined to a small area. Some of the images are days old. Trump's an "authoritarian" who is provoking them. An aberration amidst peaceful protests. There is no violence.

They point to things like Ted Cruz and James Woods mistakenly sharing footage from 2020 and somebody sharing an AI-generated video.

That's what Sean Lyngaas and Brian Stelter have done in their Tuesday article on how social media is lying to us about the L.A. protests, a thing that can be true alongside the rather relevant truth of assaulting cops, looting businesses, and setting cars on fire.

To their credit, the article mentions the fakery of an AI-generated National Guardsman excited to gas protestors.

Also from the article:

"Adding to the confusion, vandals did damage several police cars and set several self-driving cars on fire Sunday evening. But the viral clip reposted by Woods was old."

Sure, there's "unrest," but did you see how James Woods goofed?

The left is not mad about the criminal illegals being rounded up and deported. They are mad at their shrinking illegal voter base

"Obviously none of this bodes well for the future. I think it’s a mistake to continue dismissing these radicals as mostly harmless, cause-playing morons who simply operate like nihilistic weathervanes bereft of principles twisting in the variable wind, eager to indulge in the frisson of riots."

No, it bodes great. This is 4th turning stuff. We are heavily armed and they have done everything possible to make us hate them. We have nothing but contempt for the lefties and at some point soon it'll boil over. Once the shooting starts it won't stop until there is nothing left of the left but a shitstain.

Looking forward to it...

We are on a similar path as Spain leading to their catastrophic 1936 civil war.

Where you live is the side you’ll be forced to choose.

Great piece, thank you. Sombre final note too, given how many of these deranged people are around and works influence globally, for such a stupid cause.

Oh they'll run. The military and the fuzz are restrained and may not even decide to use live ammo. We won't be restrained.
