    Thanks for the confirmation. That group is NOT Antifa. As I have been telling you all along. You just make that stuff up.

    Sorry, you need a license to watch TV. Those used to doing what pleases the crown should not be giving advice. I am lucky to have been born on this side of the pond.

    You really have trouble understanding plain English. Soros funds the Alliance for Global Justice. The Alliance for Global justice funds ANTIFA. ANTIFA called Soros out for not paying them on time. If that is not plain enough for you, then there is no help for you. This will be my last post to you on this subject.

    Obama did that to a professional cartoonists by claiming he produced a video that incited the attack on Benghazi and the guy eventually went to prison over it, in addition to going out of business.

    Paraphrasing your previous post doesn't change anything.

    The only problem with American democracy is George Soros and the liberal one world ideologues who control Washington. We voted for Trump with the hope he would be able to fight them, but they own the media and haven't given him a moment of peace - and for good reason. If they did, Hillary and the rest of the bunch would be in jail.

    Right now there is a court case going on about Hillary Clinton and she could be charged with treason, so to keep the American people distracted from what's going on, the liberal media has blown this black lives matter thing way out of proportion.

    We are being screwed big time.

    Take that you fools of misery.
    For we the gods of lofty see,
    are watching you from our great height
    and snicker at the motley sight
    of lesser beings, not as bright as us.


    And if our hubris should offend,
    and if you thinkest it will end.
    Then knowest that we'll ere stand tall,

    for gods like us can never fall.

    The question should be, by defunding and firing cops, will crime be reduced?

    Personally, I prefer less cops on the street as they tend to harass more than protect, but maybe we need a better policing system that is more to help society instead of being there to creating fear in people. Plus, I think the criminal justice system is deplorable. People should be rehabilitated and reeducated instead of just stuck in a cell for years on end surrounded by others who are frustrated, bored and think nothing but taking advantage of others. In some systems, they can't even get a GED while in prison.

    I think it's disgraceful that anyone, and especially people in authority should have to kneel to anyone. Believe me, it's going to backfire big time on the Democrats next November. All it does is create resentment towards blacks when there was no resentment before.

    That said, I recall Paul Craig Roberts talking about the brutality of the police a few years back, and their indifference to black lives. He also said that they were being trained by ex Israeli soldiers. Two days ago I heard the same thing on Israelinewslive, and that the police in every state except N. Carolina had been trained by Israelis. Now whose brilliance was that one? I guess they were looking at their success with the Palestinians?

    One's judgement should only come,

    Rather trite all that. You paint a far too simple version of a reality that simply cannot exist.

    Besides Hillary won the the popular-vote with a recognized plurality of almost 3%. See here: Hillary Clinton Officially Wins Popular Vote by Nearly 2.9 Million

    The Electoral College vote is a sham. We should recognize that and get on to the mechanism that ALL MAJOR DEMOCRACIES employ for elections - the pure popular-vote and no gerrymandering!

    You are hallucinating, Madam. Go into the streets of any large city nowadays. See for yourself - what is happening is profound and meaningful but you remain blind to its context ...

    PS: Even more poignant here: United States presidential elections in which the winner lost the popular vote

    The reason Trump and the Republicans did not call for a recount of votes in major cities such as Philadelphia, where all the voting machines were tampered with in favor of the Democrats, is because Trump won the electoral college. Therefore to believe that Trump didn't receive the majority of votes would be kind of foolish.

    As for Hillary Clinton, when she was Secretary of State, she was sending classified material to her assistant Huma Abedin's husband's computer. When the NYC police checked her husband Anthony Weiner's computer on charges of sexual misconduct, they found over 300,000 thousand e-mails from Hillary.

    Many of the e-mails contained classified information, and yet Hillary was sending them to Abedin's apartment knowing that her mother and brother lived there at times, and that they were Saudi citizens and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. That to me is treason, although I don't know if the information was sent to Saudi Arabia. I think there is something with leaks to China, but I'm not sure.

    Since it involves Hillary Clinton and we know death always follows her, of the 12 policemen that saw the e-mails, 9 are now dead.

    Nope. Doesn't happen that way in France. About 20 years ago some thugs did employ pistols to rob banks. But, I haven't heard of a bank-robbery with pistols happening in France for at least that time.

    Not one killing by a handgun in France last year. Suicides, yes, but no one killing anybody else. And it's pretty much like that in the rest of Europe as well. (The only killing going on here is in the US movies that the French seem to swallow with great gusto.)

    You're paying a very high price in the US for your supposed "freedom" to pack a gun.

    Anyway, I could care less cuz it aint-my-problem ...

    Why? There's a trail of questionable deaths going back to the time Bill was the Governor of Arkansas. Isn't it time someone investigated - if they dare that is?

    Then again Hillary has to be excused, after all being dead or alive makes no difference, or she wouldn't be talking to Eleanor Roosevelt. The woman has been dead since 1962.


    For Bill Clinton to mention it so flippantly in his speech on Roosevelt Island, gives one an idea of who they associate with - and the state of the Democrat Party.

    What it doesn't do is speak well for the future of our country. Necromancy was prevalent among the elites in Europe right before WWI, and especially among the nobility in Russia. None of those countries fared well. I don't think we are going to do so this time either - nor the world.

    DEEPLY DEFAULTED VOTING SYSTEM

    Blah, blah, blah and more blah.

    Your remarks are of no consequential relevance. Not against the monstrous misadventure of electing Donald Dork - a grotesque mistake made possible by a naive 12th-amendment to the Constitution in 1812!

    One that permitted the states to manipulate the Electoral College, which manifestly allows the states to manipulate the popular-vote count.


    American children are insufficiently educated in that manipulation - because, of course, it makes the manner of our national and state voting the quack-systems that they are.

    As I have said many times, and the Rabid Right refuses to acknowledge, our voting-system is broken and deeply defaulted. Made so by our forebears in the early 1800s to assure that they might control-and-influence in-state voting mechanisms.

    It never was fair-and-impartial because of its manipulations - due to the EC and Gerrymandering - and
    it never will be if we don't have the gumption to rid ourselves of both both ...


    PS: The US has got the popular-vote selection for the presidency WRONG five-times in history - the latest being the dork presently inhabiting the White House.

    DEEPLY FAULTED VOTING SYSTEM

    Necessary reading: America’s democracy is failing. Here’s why. - excerpt:

    Let's remember, once upon a time, states were key-elements to America's democracy. People, particularly the huge amount of immigrants, broadened out to live&work in places that needed manpower to grow in the 19th century. We are now, today, way past that stage called the Agricultural Age.

    We as a nation have transited through the Industrial Age and are now entering the Information Age.

    Where, in fact, where you live is far less important than how you live - and that is a matter of both educational level and income. Meaning more and more of the nation's voting-population are moving around! Which is a significant factor in the vote for the presidency!

    Which is a National Vote and should not be manipulated in states by means of the rule "First past-the-post winner takes all EC-votes"!.

    It is sufficient that the state reports the results of the popular-vote to Congress and the winners are announced ...

    World uneasily watches US protests

    If watching it makes you uneasy then consider watching something else. Our society is under attack by socialism and anarchy. As soon as the majority of Americans understand what is going on, it will be resoundingly rejected.

    It is important that you understand that the founders intent was to have the President elected by the states, not a popular vote. The 12th amerndment codifies that. If you don't like it then don't come here.



    States don't manipulate the electoral college. They operate with it as a part of the electoral system.


    Since there is no manipulation, there is no need to lie to the children.



    You don't like the electoral college. Got it. Your point was made earlier without the need for hysteria.


    That is opinion, certainly not fact. I have some problems with the way we elect people but I don't refer to the voters as wrong. They make a decision. Neither you nor I have to like it. In every case someone won't like it. So what?
