But it would be Trump starting it. and all it will for the public to turn against Trump would be if soldiers open fire and a innocent appearing attractive normie white girl gets shot and killed by asoldier similar to Kent State, that will create major unrest and depending if things are similar to what happened to that girl that was killed in Iran I could see the republicans in Congress impeaching Trump just to save face.


But Trump and the right wing want to fight battles from 2020 (I think the public largely moved on.
So rightoids proceed with caution.

After Kent State, the reaction from normies was "Why'd you only kill four of them?!?" and Nixon won in a landslide.

It wasn't until years later after Neil Young wrote his propaganda song and a new generation grew up brainwashed by communist public school teachers that public opinion shifted towards the rioters.

The Portland police just arrested him.
WTF?

This is practically SOP for the Portland PD. It's an Antifa stronghold -- complete ideological capture of government there. There's a reason the National Guard being there now is scaring the living shit out of the local government.

Won't be surprised if this happens as it seems like something that would be a pet project for Trump. The coin design looks good though I hope the "$1" part looks better on the real thing or is removed for sticking out like a sore thumb.

The unavoidable flawed programming of humanity allows some cops to be power trippers, some to be complicit and hypocritical, while others walk the straight and narrow path. I don't think we're ever going to effectively reduce the amount of psychotic assholes in law enforcement without stepping on other things we actually need.

That is why bodycams were, without exaggeration, one of the single best policies ever implemented for law enforcement.
People are flawed, cops included, but with cameras the cop is more likely to perform correctly as his deeds are recorded and when someone alleges police misconduct there’s ebidance as to what went down.

Been catching up OTT, but this just smacked me between the eyes.

I'm further away now from 9/11, which I remember very well, than I was from Pearl Harbor on the day I was born.

To quote Howard Kaylan's character Captain Cloud in the 1983 film "Get Crazy," "Time's a trip, man."

i had been wondering about this. I thought crowder did the "change my mind" tour stuff before charlie kirk, i was wrong. here's what I found.

Turning Point USA, founded by Kirk in 2012, started its campus activities that year, including informal debates and speaking events on college campuses. Kirk gained prominence through videos of these interactions, often at a "Prove Me Wrong" table, and by 2013, these had evolved into organized tours like the Culture War tour in 2019. This was part of TPUSA's mission to promote conservative activism on over 850 campuses.


Crowder's "Change My Mind" segment, where he sets up a table on campuses to debate controversial topics, first appeared in 2017 (e.g., at Southern Methodist University) and became widely known in 2018 with a viral photo from Texas Christian University. It was a recurring feature on his podcast Louder with Crowder, which started in 2015, but the campus tour format followed Kirk's model years later.

Semi-related, I'm very happy to see us finally using our military to stop something that's an actual threat to the US (the drug boats), and not just endless wars in the sandbox with no purpose other than to enrich "defense" contractors. I'm glad they're tweeting these boats blowing up too. The worst thing that could happen to a drug runner previously is that they'd maybe spend an inconsequential amount of time at some jail in a cell that's nicer than their home before being released to do it all over again. Hopefully now that they know we're going to kill them, broadcast it to the entire world, and make memes about it, the cartels will have trouble finding people willing to do this sort of "work". And if not, well, I hope we take the strikes to land.

I can't believe how much has changed in less than a year :semperfidelis:

I just don't fucking buy this. I've dealt with city cops, country cops, big departments and small. Every time me or anybody i know has had to deal with cops being assholes it was 100% deserved. We were being complete retards and setting up a situation where the cops had every reason to assume we were up to something REALLY bad. What we were actually doing was just smoking or underage drinking in some place we shouldn't be, then running when we saw blue, which makes the cops wonder wtf is going on.

If they can tell you're lying to them (which if you're dealing with them you probably are) they're going to assume the worst because they've dealt with the worst, that's their job. In ~10 instances of having the cops called i really can't say they ever acted unreasonably, even the one time i got charged.

It is unbelievably easy to never have to deal with cops in America, just don't break the law and you'll never even see them other than the occasional traffic stop. Maybe it's different in other states but this claim always comes across as "they'll come for you tooooo!" type demoralization. Even if what you say is true, if I have to deal with a jerk cop having too much power and being portland that's not a choice.

>The immune system uses microscopic entities causing chemical reactions in your body so it's essentially a big virus
I hate that comparison, i get the point it's trying to make but it reeks rappernig energy.

Genuine question: What exactly is the worst experience you have had with cops? Not something you heard about but something where you know exactly what happened and what the context was? Or somebody who you fully trust not to lie/exaggerate the story to you?

I know i'm being a prude but this one really gets me MATI. I've been seeing this hatred of cops infest the online right ever george floyd killed himself and I can't help but wonder where it's coming from.

It sucks that MAGA is so pro-cop, the 'blue gang is the biggest gang' is true, despite that conservatives tend to boot lick

So here s the issue.

Niggers, if cops beat niggers and told them to stop acting like niggers, and the niggers that cant stop nigging it up were put in jail. we could then agree that cops are bastards when there not knocking the shit out of niggers and nigger adjacent problems.
