@strictdadhusbandanduncleinpa I don't know, the mainstream media like CNN and the NYT were very anti-Biden, that will probably translate into "will this be a problem for Harris."
Nobody will ask any candidate about anything they said. 99% of media today is commentary, so they'll discuss things the candidates say without actually confronting them.

More like Mosley, than Hitler.
For the benefit of the lesser informed, Oswald Mosley (1896-1980) was a British Aristocrat and politician who rose to fame during the 1920's and 30's when, having been disillusioned with mainstream politics, he turned to fascism.
He was a member of parliament and later founded the British Union of Fascists, who in 1932, sought alliances with Hitler's Nazi Regime and Mussolini's Fascist regime.
Despite the sizeable following, the British Union of Fascists were eventually defeated in the battle of Cable Street in 1936.
In the aftermath of The BUF's defeat, Mosley was imprisoned in 1940, after the outbreak of the Second World War.

After years of violent Republican rhetoric, we get Republican on Republican violence. And you're trying to blame it on Democrats??🤣😂
Trump said EVERY ONE of the following encouragements to violence.

It has to start with the media. They have beaten hate into these kids

"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment," Trump said to the crowd of supporters gathered in the Trask Coliseum at North Carolina University in Wilmington. "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."

@DogMan Your claim about hate speech on the left vs the right. As data in support of my claim, I offer data on
And when we move beyond mass shootings, hate crime stats are dominated by hate crimes committed by right-wing extremists:
And that's why Trump's own FBI director said that the greatest domestic terrorist threat today is white supremacists.

hate crimes.
Fatalities resulting from attacks by far right wing violent extremists have exceeded those caused by radical Islamist violent extremists in 10 of the 15 years, and were the same in 3 of the years since September 12, 2001. Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent).
And when we move beyond mass shootings, hate crime stats are dominated by hate crimes committed by right-wing extremists:
In November 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released its annual hate crime incident report, which found that in 2017, hate crimes increased by approximately 17 percent, including a 23-percent increase in religion-based hate crimes, an 18-percent increase in race-based crimes, and a 5-percent increase in crimes directed against LGBT individuals. The total number of reported hate crimes rose for the third consecutive year. The previous year's report found that in 2016, hate crimes increased by almost 5 percent, including a 19-percent rise in hate crimes against American Muslims; additionally, of the hate crimes motivated by religious bias in 2016, 53 percent were anti-Semitic. Similarly, the report analyzing 2015 data found that hate crimes increased by 6 percent that year. Much of the 2015 increase came from a 66-percent rise in attacks on American Muslims and a 9-percent rise in attacks on American Jews. In all three reports, race-based crimes were most numerous, and those crimes most often targeted African Americans.
And that's why Trump's own FBI director said that the greatest domestic terrorist threat today is white supremacists.

It is time to forgive. Time to set aside our hurts and hatreds, and time to move forward with clean hearts and souls.
DWELLING on our pain, and picking the scabs from our wounds over and over again will lead to nothing good.
Who knows what person out there is just teetering on the edge of insanity? Who knows if they are one destructive post away from hurting someone?
On Thursday, when Trump addresses the nation, he will tell you that, himself, and ask all of us to cool our jets.

@DogMan One step off. It has to start with the power hungry bureaucrats and politicians and dark money groups who are PAYING the media.
Example: George Soros just bought almost ALL the radio stations in the Midwest. HIS goal has alway been the destruction of the United States.
IRAN is funding Hamas and Hezbollah, and THEIR paid agitators have taken over our Ivy League colleges, and the left wing news is beginning to reflect their anti-semitic messages.
BizSuitStacy had a fabulous post showing about a hundred television stations repeating EXACTLY the same words.
We must, somehow, defeat the billionaires, the foreign governments, the CIA, and the power brokers in America itself before the media will change.

@Vin53 Vance called Convicted Felon Trump every name in the book (including Hitler), but the bully master did not give him a nickname. And the reason is not very complicated.
Initially he had no idea who the guy is. But when the German guy propped up Vance, and had him relocate to Ohio, a state the German guy thought he can win, he immediately dialed in the South African guy, and Sean Hannity, who together told the Convicted Felon that Vance is their man.
So no cute nicknames for Vance.

@TinyViolins I was not commenting on whether I agreed with Hitler. In fact, IMO what Hitler did to the Jews (and the world) was the greatest of all abominations. But on an economic level, Hitler did turn the economy of Germany around in about the same amount of time that Biden took to destroy ours.
TinyViolins · 31-35, M
@IM5688 According to most economists I've had a chance to read, Biden isn't to blame for high inflation. At least not the vast majority of it. Some think his $1400 stimulus might have had a small increase since it created strong consumer demand.
There was so much happening to the economy at once with Covid that it's not easy to pin down one factor. The leading factors tie back to supply chain disruptions and trying to fill the backlog of orders from lockdowns, a tight labor market causing wage increases and an increase in job openings, energy prices that exploded following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the EU's boycott of Russian energy, as well as some price gouging by oil execs, and plain old corporate greed that has largely refused to scale back prices once supply chain disruptions stabilized
