Graham Platner is a Democrat running for Senate in Maine – yet another person trying to unseat GOP Senator Susan Collins…who had held the seat since winning it in 1996. She really knows her State – and is the GOPer we don’t mind getting off the ranch because being from a light Blue State, she has to trim a bit to retain political viability. Democrats are thinking that because 2020 was her worst showing (percentage-wise) since 1996, she’s vulnerable.
She ain’t. This was a bit of tilting at windmills in the best of circumstances for the Democrats. But, hey; they’re welcome to try. There is a fly in the ointment, though…in their quest for an alpha-male, us-folksy challenger (he was put up to it by Bernie Sanders, so we know the Commie underlying it all), they didn’t apparently do a lot of vetting. He’s got a lot of problems but the most recent has been the discovery that he has a totenkopf tattoo. A skull and crossbones. Nothing too particular about that but the style he got was a modification of the old Prussian device into a symbol of the SS by Himmler. I guess Platner is a pretty common Democrat – doesn’t know anything. He says he got it while drunk on liberty in Croatia…which is a believable enough story but if he had done a little checking up on Croatian history, he’d see that Croatians (like Ukrainians) hold up people and units from WWII as symbols of national unity and power…trouble is, those people and units allied with Nazi Germany and so their symbols are shot through with Nazi themes.
Sanders is not disavowing his protege. A Jewish commie is ok with a guy sporting the symbol of people who massacred Jews. Nothing better demonstrates that for the Left being Left is all that matters. The Democrats are also not disavowing their Virginia attorney general candidate who fantasized about killing Republican kids. They aren’t disavowing because they don’t want to – they need guys like that. To do their dirty work for them. Most Leftists are craven…but they foster and protect psychopaths who will carry out literally any order. Sanders would piss himself if he ever had to put his own safety on the line…but he’ll help out people who will kill.
We do need to really internalize the fact that the Leftist is just waiting for the day when they can kill their opponents. They aren’t knowledgeable. They have rejected God, and thus mercy and compassion. They are ignorant, hate filled and just chomping at the bit for their chance to make us all pay for…whatever the heck it is they think we’re guilty of at any given time. Remember, they shot the Czar’s teenage daughters. Why? They hadn’t done a thing, ever, to anyone. Didn’t matter. Just as it didn’t matter to them as millions starved in Ukraine and China. Didn’t matter that Che was shooting peasants who simply didn’t want to bend the knee. Didn’t matter that their rhetoric killed Charlie Kirk and nearly killed Trump. They don’t have a sense of shame…their only regret right now is that Trump is still breathing.
We’re going to need to stop these people – under Trump we have the last chance to do it under law.
So here’s an example from my local community. The “prediction” below is from a former agent of my mine lol, he is on facebook non stop with shit like this, and it’s getting worse. They are very violent and stupid people ….
Here’s a prediction. When these ICE agents start going home in body bags, as these ICE agents break the law and follow illegal orders. As we document their names and illegal actions. A lot of this fever will break. Document, record all, resist. It won’t be revenge that will be visited on this evil. Justice will be meted out with the same intensity as Trump’s traitorous lawlessness.
“We’re going to have to stop these people”
You’re 100% correct Mark. Here’s my dilemma, the gentleman whose post I shared above, is obese with drug and gambling problems, and I am very tempted to share that with his followers to hurt him. But my better angels stop me lol.
I’ve always been a firm believer in the old adage, what goes around, comes around. The chickens are beginning to come home to roost for the Left, and instead of re-evaluating their positions, they’re doubling down on 80/20 positions where they’re the 20. Some famous general once said (I’m paraphrasing) when your enemy is in the process of making a mistake, don’t get in his way.)
Spook, you might be thinking of Napoleon Bonaparte: ‘Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.’
But Sun Tzu said something similar: “”When your enemy is in the process of destroying himself, stay out of his way.”
And the homespun version is “When your opponent is digging himself into a hole, hand him a better shovel”.
Cluster, tell those “angels” to STFU and stay in their own lane. The guy is advocating sending law enforcement officers home in body bags. What kind of “angel” provides cover, even passively, for scum like that?
LOL
Stephen Kruiser has an article on “protester” garb: In it he comments:
So he is describing clothing designed to help criminals evade identification and prosecution. But when we talk about marking this clothing with permanent/indelible ink, the word is evidently out to the trolliverse that this must be conflated with—-and as bizarre as this sounds, I am not kidding—-TATTOOING protesters, which of course is JUST LIKE NAZIS DID TO JEWS IN THE 1930s.
Which, of course, is the answer to the question “Is anything too stupid to get these people riled up?”
But we know all this cosplaying garb is expensive. Look at these idiots—-those often look like padded motorcycle jackets and none of it looks cheap. So mark it, permanently, so it will always identify the wearer as a participant in a riot.
NAZINAZINAZINAZI!!!!!!
Anyone looking at these folks can see there is very little skin exposed, so the dreaded awful “permanent” disabling disfigurement of some ink spots would be pretty unlikely and in any case not extensive, but why inject reality into a perfectly good wall-kicking temper tantrum? (I think the real issue is that some guy with a real job might show up with some, shall we say, added color that lets his boss know he spends his off time protesting against the government, advocating for anarchy and engaging in violence against law enforcement officers. Not a good resume enhancer.)
I still like the idea of adding some skunk juice to the dye, so those motorcycle helmets, etc. reek indefinitely. Let Soros, et al, pay for new costumes for every riot they sponsor and see how they like that.
First off, the article you linked to doesn’t say what you claim it said.
Second, regarding your statement, “But when we talk about marking this clothing with permanent/indelible ink…” That’s not what Spook said. He said “use sprays with permanent dye and skunk juice on violent protestors.” Not on on their clothing. On the protestors themselves.
Now you want to mark the clothing of people you don’t like in some distinctive way, since “there is very little skin exposed.” In other words, you want them to wear a badge not unlike the one the Nazis required Jews to wear on their clothing.
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/jewish-badge-during-the-nazi-era
If you don’t want to be called a fascist, quit acting like one.
OMG the whining never stops. Rocks has, however, finally found something he can commit to—-I understand he is planning to start a protest against staining clothing (an no, not in the way we might think of relating to him and his hissy fits).
He used to carry on about the dyes being THE EXACT SAME THING as the tattoos forced on Jews by the Nazis—–ON THE PROTESTERS THEMSELVES!!!— but evidently someone read my post to him where I explained that superficial stains on the skin wear off as old skin cells sluff off. Not even remotely like tattoos. (He complained that my post was too long, just had SO MANY WORDS!!!, so perhaps someone summarized it for him.)
Anyway, evidently the shrieking about TATTOOS! TATTOOS! JUST LIKE NAZI TATTOOS! has died down and now he is fretting about markings on clothing. Yes, now random splatters of color on clothing is THE EXACT SAME THING as the badges Jews were forced to wear! We know it is THE EXACT SAME THING because the Jews voluntarily exposed themselves to the badge-wearing by their own actions, and of course had the option to remove those “badges” at any time and just wear any old thing they wanted to wear. Naturally, any Jew marked as such by the Nazis could look down at that yellow star and think “I don’t feel like wearing this today” and just toss it aside, just as a rioter could discard a stained black bloc jacket. Same exact thing. Really. Just ask Rocks.
BTW, there is a reason for identifying criminals through the use of dyes, inks, colors or uniforms. “…uniforms were initially adopted to make prisoners immediately recognizable as criminals, aiding in the apprehension of escapees” and random stains of indelible dye would serve the same purpose in helping identify rioters. The fact that it would also add consequences for illegal behavior by imposing a financial burden in having to replace riot costumes would only be a bonus, though no doubt Rocks can find some NAZI NAZI NAZI example of the sheer inhumanity of a financial downside to rioting. I’ll bet making people replace damaged riot gear is EXACTLY LIKE something a Nazi would do! NAZI NAZI NAZI
And if you don’t want to continue looking like a moron, learn what “fascist” really means instead of just parroting a Leftist buzzword. I could explain it to you, but that would involve using words, and you have already signaled your aversion to facts explained using words.
In the meantime, thank you for the entertainment value of admitting that your ranting has been reduced to impotent raging over stained clothing. We always knew your “politics” were shallow and superficial, but it’s fun to see you illustrating this so vividly.
Sequence of events, Rocks: no riot, no marking.
It is really very simple. Don’t do very stupid things and bad things won’t happen to you.
Good call Rocks. We should just use bullets. Dead people don’t complain.
And Molotov cocktails; don’t forget them, but then we would lower ourselves to their level. For the life of me I don’t understand what is so troubling about benign methods of crowd control that just make it more expensive and less fun to riot, loot, and burn things without inflicting personal injury. Rocks still hasn’t come up with a viable alternative – and I don’t expect him to, because it’s not about how best to control riotous Democrats, it’s about how to figure out ways to call you and me Fascists and Nazis. To what end I don’t know, because the tactic obviously isn’t working, and we all know what doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results signifies.
And as for bullets, Rocks and his ideological fellow travellers should be thankful that we haven’t resorted to that. As a popular meme stated a few years back, “we own 400 million guns and 12 trillion rounds of ammunition. If we were the problem, you’d know it.” But you and I know, as I’m sure Rocks knows, that you can only push someone so far until they snap. I’m exceptionally proud of conservative gun owners in this country that we’ve kept our powder dry for as long as we have, but the Left continues to push us at their own peril.
You are of no human value Rocks, to this country or to anything. Aside from that, you continue to incite violence by disparaging those you disagree with by continuing to call them nazis, fascists, etc. You are responsible for the attempted assassination of Trump and the actual assassination of Charlie Kirk. YOU Rocks are the fascist … and I would not only use a bullet … I would make your parents pay for it.
We know it was easier in the old days when you could tell us apart by our skin color,
You’re confused. It was your side that judged you by the color of your skin. You might want to rethink things.
Excellent summary here from American Thinker
”The Affordable Care Act is what seems to be the thing Democrats are most proud of, even though we see how unaffordable the act has made health care for everyone, especially the government (taxpayers).
When we look at DACA, we see an unconstitutional dictatorial action, yet there were no protests against the king then. They also didn’t protest that Biden and sanctuary cities and states refused to enforce laws Congress passed. Instead, they call Trump a king or fascist for enforcing those laws, which his constitutional oath requires.
Where did Obama and Biden get all the money to pay for illegals since there were no appropriations? Where were the complaints about separation of power and abuse of power?
Now for the dangerous nuclear deal with Iran: Basically, Obama, without Congressional approval, made Iran and terrorists stronger and wealthier, yet there were no protests.
The Paris Climate Accord? Obama committed the U.S. to destroying the U.S. economy by essentially outlawing the use of oil, coal, and natural gas, and spending massive amounts of money worldwide without going through Congress. Yet there were no protests about him acting as a king.
There have been endless regulations on energy, COVID, and other things by unelected bureaucrats, and no protests.
No protests when they learned people with an autopen were running the government.
No protests when they learned that the Biden admin and bureaucrats directed Google, Meta, and others to hide information from the public. We didn’t hear about a threat to democracy or freedom of speech then.
Myth: Trump only caters to the rich.
Truth: His tax rate cuts, revocation of regulations, energy policies, and border policies yielded record low poverty, low inflation, and rapidly rising real wages, especially for those at the bottom. Think how the results would have been better if the media and other Democrats weren’t opposing and seeking to destroy him every day.
Myth: Trump is an isolationist who only cares about America.
Truth: Trump works with countries to achieve peace, has NATO countries build up their own defenses, tells other countries not to depend on China and Russia, and seeks to help underdeveloped countries better themselves by utilizing their natural resources.
Myth: Trump handed Biden a disastrous economy.
Truth: Trump handed Biden an economy that was soaring with low inflation, and a fairly secure border. Jobs were growing at around 1.5 million per month for Trump’s last eight months in office.
A king doesn’t try to reduce the size and scope of government, which is exactly what Trump has been doing.
Summary: We will never see protests about what a Democrat does, and always see protests about Trump and Republicans. These people, including most of the media, don’t care about facts or results, only power.”
Warning: This post contains a lot of words.
Fascism is one of several iterations of Leftist governance, all of which are identified by their consolidation of power in the hands of a few elites, rejection of individualism in favor of a collectivist view of citizens, and ruling from a massively powerful Central Authority. Each of these Leftist iterations includes some degree of government control over industry and production. Under Communism, the government owns the means of production. Under Socialism, the government owns what is produced. Under Fascism, the government exerts control over the private ownership of the means of production.
All of these Leftist forms of government share the same core values of total allegiance to the State and rejection of the individual in favor of the collective, and all reject the economic model of capitalism by making the government central to the economy.
Claiming that the American Right is “fascist” is rife with internal contradictions, as the American Right is based on allegiance to government as dictated by our Constitution—that is, on the primacy of the individual and the rejection of a powerful Central Authority. The American Right is based on the concept that the People are the authority over the State. It is based on the concept of a federal government severely restricted in its size, scope and power, with most authority left to the states or to the people, while Fascism, like all leftist political models, is based on consolidation of power in a Central Authority with little or no power left to the people.
From the only approved translation of Mussolini’s explanation of Fascism:
There are a couple of new examples of the idea that The Left Is Violence:
When people mass together carrying signs that identify Trump as a king and then say kings face guillotines, that certainly seems like a direct threat to the president.
And “Ron Gochez, a Los Angeles history teacher, has a message for ICE agents: They are not the only ones with guns.”
There was a photo online of a fat slob (also a teacher, BTW) pointing to her neck while squealing her hate of Charlie Kirk, obviously celebrating the shot that killed him.
But this is the mentality of the Left. Look at the ICE protests. These people are openly defying long-standing federal laws, defending criminals, obstructing law enforcement officers, attacking law enforcement officers, and now reminding them that they also “have guns” which is a pretty clear threat to use those guns against law enforcement officers.
The Left has tried to sanitize the ugly word “mob” by using it and laughing about it, but when you get down to it Leftists depend on the mob mentality and the utter stupidity of some people. But it’s worse than simple stupidity: It’s that these people gravitate toward the ugly in life. This is what draws them in, this is what appeals to them, this is what expresses their true moral compasses.
What other political targets are you considering for assassination Rocks?? I mean aside from ICE agents of course
fascists were and are leftists. Always have been always will be by definition. Fascism is leftism.
I guess someone should have told Musolini.
Before Trump broke Jonah Goldberg he wrote a brilliant book called “Liberal Fascism” which is extremely well researched and footnoted with extensive quotations and reading lists. He tracked the development of fascism through the other Leftist political models, compared it to them, and thoroughly established the Leftist origins and structure of this political system.
But there is no quantity or quality of facts that can overcome the small minds’ dedication to Identity Politics. They simply do not grasp the fact that there are actual political structures, and that these structures define them no matter what words are slapped onto them. They are indifferent to reality, preferring the mental swamps of their bigotry and blind hatred.
It has not gone unnoticed that over at least two decades, spanning more than a dozen aliases, Rocks has never espoused any particular political model. He has exclusively focused on his pathology, his need to attack PEOPLE—-politicians, me, etc. The closest I have seen to an actual position on anything, other than HATE THE “RIGHT”, is his recent commitment to stain-free clothing.
The thing is, he doesn’t even know what “the Right” IS. Or care. There is an Invented Other out there he has been told is “the Right” and it fits into his obsession with snarling and sniping and attacking, and that’s all that he needs.
And BTW we should go to Wikipedia to learn the facts about fascism? He may even have been serious when he suggested this. It would be like asking Hamas about Jews. He doesn’t seem aware of how often he reveals the rotten core of what he thinks is a belief system.
The comments were interesting:
“People like @JamesCarville remind me we’re still surrounded by boxcar loaders.” and
“And James can wear a cute little SS uniform while he watches.“
Fortunately this is not even remotely Nazi-ish because he doesn’t think those orange PJ’s should be marked with ink because that’s how you can tell.
Let’s go into a glorious weekend with some Catholic humor:
