I'm sure this fairly successful c list celebrity faked a hate crime. I mean what's he got to lose? And subway?!? None of this is adding up for the kind of behavior I expect for this person I know nothing about. In fact I think some trickery is afoot. I feel it in my gut!

There was some American woman in Vancouver who conducted a self-inflicted false flag acid attack. On her own face!

But she’s not a normal occurrence.

I mean Canada has left, center-right and right parties, no reason this wouldn’t work in the US.

Habibi, donald trump couldn't have made it in canada and our election system really only allows for two major parties. Third parties will p much give one of the others a win without some sort of transferrable vote system, which we do not have.

I guess people don't remember Tawana Brawley

She crawled into a garbage bag with dog poo poo, wrote "kkk" and "friend of the family" on herself and is the reason that everyone knows who Al Sharpton is. I was going to the same high school as she was at the time and her lies turned the whole place into a loving circus.

If there were 2 guys in the Subway talking poo poo that will probably be on video so I imagine we'll get more info pretty soon.

All these examples are outliers and don’t add up to an anthill for all the times white people say it was black dude or Mexican who did something heinous instead of themselves or some relative or friend.

Just weirdly too much specific detail.

Mmm yes the case from when I was 1 year old. How could I have forgotten.

Glad we cleared up some instances of fakery in the last half century against um 8,400 cases of hate crimes that occured last year. While statistically insiginificant it is important to note that absent any other information the possibility does exist that this is a false flag!

It is 2019. Questioning whether or not things happened exactly as the article portrays them is a good thing, even if -especially if- the article follows a narrative that you want to believe. The other articles I've read are less sensationalist, and more believable, than the Raw Story one linked in this thread.

Kinda surprised by this. Good signs from the dems imo.

quote:

Stacey Abrams, a rising political star from Georgia who narrowly lost a race for governor there last year, will deliver the Democrats’ official response to President Trump’s State of the Union address next week.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, said on Tuesday that he invited Ms. Abrams to make the televised response three weeks ago. She publicly agreed to the often-thankless task on Tuesday.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

House Democrats plan to put Republicans on the spot Wednesday with a vote to condemn future government shutdowns, even as the threat of another border wall showdown remains just weeks away.

Democratic leaders will force a vote on a resolution that states that “shutdowns are detrimental to the nation and should not occur,” according to a draft of the bill obtained by POLITICO.

The symbolic vote, led by Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.), does nothing to ward off the next shutdown threat. But it will draw unwanted attention to a House GOP conference that privately loathes the prospect of another shutdown battle when existing budgets run out on Feb. 15

Why don't they put up an actual bill like Warner or Portman in the Senate that would actually prevent a shutdown?

I used to work at a truck stop where one of the other mechanics drove one of those. It was always broken is some way or another, but it always got him to work, and he never shut the gently caress up about the fuel mileage.
