These loving conservatives only started caring about Antifa when it could be used as a NO U when – again, I must emphasize this – a Nazi ran over a woman and conservatives didn't want to slander the Nazi

Seriously, other than a couple yahoos, point me to a huge, violent Antifa uprising. And if you wanna go tit-for-tat on yahoo counting, Trumpers, I'm more than willing to play.

It's the Black Panthers tactic. Keep saying they're dangerous and violent long enough, and soon all the dumbass centrists will also have thinkpieces about it, and it'll just become accepted as truth with zero evidence, because why would everyone be saying it all the time if it wasn't true?

Trying to paint most all of education as "liberal brainwashing" is kind of the only tactic left though. When you're proven wrong again and again, and most educated people tend to lean Left, you just claim that education is wrong. It was the first step towards "fake news."

It is kind of scary too because schools get shot up enough already that we don't need new reasons like "well those elementary school teachers were teaching evolution anyway so they needed to die along with those few kids that got caught in the crossfire."

It's really the perfect tactic for conservatives to adopt at this point. It's optically very easy to buy into if you're a loving moron.

He walked that back already, last I heard. (And by that I mean he forced someone at the White House to walk it back so he didn't have to actually say that he wasn't giving money.) It's from the Trump Foundation now, not his pockets.

Technically, you don't need to put it at all, it's just so that someone can't bilk you out of 99 cents by adding 99/100. You could even put --/100 and it'd work.

Who is Varvel even trying to convince: people who don't support Chimp, or himself? Anyone can write a check; that doesn't necessarily prove that you're empathetic to people's suffering. But Chimp has a long history of not giving a poo poo about anyone but himself and his family.

Well, there's been a huge and open WTF reaction as Trump toured Texas on the weekend and proved that he has no idea how to show empathy/ react to people's misfortunes/ act in a manner befitting a self-aware human being. So of course Varvel's going to get defensive and "prove" that Trump has empathy because of this check he didn't and never will write.

Remember that it took months of hounding and expose work by the Washington Post before he wrote the donatIon to Veteran's groups he said he would to "prove" his fighting with the Khans wasn't indicative of a lack of empathy or understanding.

Garrison posted:

Storm clouds continue to gather on many fronts. There’s a nut job in North Korea with advanced nuclear weapons as well as the ballistic missiles to carry them. His continued saber rattling includes blowing up Guam and an EMP strike on America. The lefties criticize President Trump for speaking out against such bellicosity. Other presidents previously tried to buy off North Korea. The Clinton administration sent former president Jimmy Carter to cut a deal with the hermit state. We ended up giving them $5 billion in aid as well as two nuclear reactors. In return, North Korea agreed to stop pursuing nuclear weapons. We know how well that worked out. Recently the well-aged but still unctuously sanctimonious Carter criticized Trump for not pursuing peace.

Obama kicked the North Korean can down the road, but he maliciously aided Iran by giving them billions of dollars to further their nuclear weapons development. Iran wants to blow up Israel and the muslim Obama apparently likes that idea. The former president also helped muslim terrorists. It’s a familiar lefty pattern. Reward those who hate America and our allies.

There’s another hurricane brewing in the Atlantic even as flooding persists in Houston. President Trump handled himself admirably during the disaster, but still garnered no respect from the left-leaning legacy media. They criticized Trump for donating one million of his own money to help hurricane victims. They even made fun of Melania’s choice of footwear. Hillary and her mainstream media continue to push the ‘Russia’ lie without any evidence whatsoever. Clinton is also cashing in on her election loss with a book in which she whines about Trump ‘looming’ during a debate. The vile, lying money-grubber even has the unmitigated gall to ask over $2,000 per individual greeting on her book tour.

Michael Moore continues to lead the ‘resistance’ movement against Trump. The round man wants to do anything he can to thwart our President from doing what he was elected to do. Maxine Waters and others on the spoiled brat left incessantly cry for Trump’s impeachment.

Soros is a billionaire terrorist who funds the violent Antifa and Black Lives Matter movements. He helps flood Europe with endless immigrants who gladly show up to get free stuff. Some see it as an ideal chance to pursue their hobbies such as rape and pillage. Soros funds such operations as a means to destroy western civilization. He and his Illuminati friends are relentless in their quest for a new world order. Soros needs to be arrested and his wealth confiscated.

The far left lunatics possess the sound and fury of a category 5 hurricane. They gladly welcome America’s destruction because they foolishly want our Constitutional Republic replaced with their idea of a multi-cultural post-modern globalist, socialist, and politically correct utopia. Let’s hope President Trump can ride out their storm.

Exactly, which tells us everything we need to know about Trump's alleged empathy. Whatever you think of Pence, or the reasons for him doing it, he took time to actually set foot in Texas and help them clean up the mess. He acted like a president. Trump acted like a big baby who was trying to get by with doing as little as possible.

Trumpito's right hand looks like a mirror copy of his left. Garrison is so obsessed with his Dear Leader looking swole - has he done one with Trumpito showing his glorious pecs and his butt at the same time yet?

Also - I'd love to see anyone call out Garrison for showing a real pic of both of them anywhere near that much water. (edit: outside the thread - super beaten)

Obama kicked the North Korean can down the road

I feel like there was some other administration in between Clinton and Obama, someone else who may have had an impact on North Korea policy. I'm probably just confused, though- my mind was a bit scrambled when Obama stood in front of a Mission Accomplished banner.
