Here comes the never ending gun violence stories in the news.  Sorry CNN but 2 dead and 8 shot happens 10 times every weekend in Chicago.  Let’s not have so much fake outrage.

SMFH every time guns or abortion comes up...just wedge issues that will never be definitively solved (even though they have, for the most part) because you don't have to know shit about it to get up there with a fine, grandstanding rant.  It's easy, and it gets people fired up, unlike tax & economic policy.

But then I see the typical identity politics now coming into play to takedown the filibuster and it's just....you fucking idiots this is the shit that got Trump elected.

Because the big, big problem with a platform based on grievances is that, eventually, if you get anything done your pool of victims gets smaller and smaller.  That's why, after gay marriage got its SCOTUS victory, all of a sudden transgenders became the new poster zperson for bible-thumping bigotry.

You really have to tip the hat to the Democratic party the way they continue to create and exploit victims, and keep their votes despite not really doing anything to fix the problem.

Well, the SJWs claim that Asians are white-adjacent.

It's all getting pretty funny to watch.  Identity politics has created so many disadvantaged "groups" that they're having trouble keeping track of who the actual victims are and how those victims rank in terms of who is more disadvantaged.  One way or another, white trailer trash is going to wind-up on top somehow, eventually.

For over 50+ years too.  It's quite impressive. 

Let's be honest - this is both parties. The Dems are constantly exploiting the "victims", the Repubs are constantly pushing a culture war. Meanwhile both sides offer the same old names (for the most part) with few exceptions. I just don't see anything that resembles what the founders envisioned.

Neither party is remotely close. Just a bunch of people who range from old fogies who only care about staying in power and younger people who only care about becoming old fogies who only care about staying in power.

It's simple. 

Most of the rise in violence against Asian's in the last year or so was actually found to be by black people. Once the woke mob found this out and that it wasn't "white supremacists" doing the violence, they changed the narrative to it still being due to "white supremacy". 

Their logic, white supremacy has the black man down so much that is why the black man is attacking Asians. 

So those above asked if you believe that nonsense or not.

No one asked if you heard it. They asked if you think it’s nonsense or not.  

Perusing the Washington Post site and see this headline, no joke:

Her pet chickens were a source of emotional support during the pandemic. Then, the predators came.

How do I think something is nonsense or not when I don’t even know if it’s true? Also I can’t think of anything I care less about. Huge idgaf on this one is my opinion

Well the terrorist attack in Boulder doesn't fit the left-wing narrative, so you will never hear about it again.
