RM- He's a great liar, and he knows he is lying.

NPR just had a clip from Trump talking to "young black conservatives" (all half dozen?) at the White House, he solemnly said "there should be no political violence in America" and he means it.

How do fascist achieve that? Destroy the opposition, starting with the leaders, and at the same time destroy the free press, with violence and threats. Presto, the violence subsides, when it has achieved it's goals.

In reply to I always find it convincing

Your problem, not mine. When you find the appropriate word you apply the word. The risk of calling the cops outweighs the moral flash that you get from people being hassled. I’ll repeat that the park put BBQ Becky’s challenger on the board, The dispatcher thought Becky was nuts. You repeat your rationale, I’ll repeat mine.

No children were burned

Edit to add:

Been fun but lunchtime

Again noting that the park board supported the woman who challenged BBQ Becky

I'll let your reponse stand on it's own without any other reply

except to copy wabby's reaction to Danny's essay from upthread:

Danny Cardwell, I like the way you write. I like the way you say what you say. After I read your stuff, my brain feels like it has just had a good massage. Thank you.

We can’t fall into the trap of trying to refute every negative stereotype about Blackness.

I find this sentence important for Native Americans as well. Constantly pushing against the wall of stereotypes is exhausting and this is what I tell the young ones coming up. I tell them to spend their energy on the positive.

Compare and contrast the response to your posts. That is all.

I always find it convincing when someone repeats the same word over and over again. It's takes a real intellectual giant to do that.

Don’t call the police for

In reply to Because it's a risk to call

Don’t call the police for nonsense. Send an email to the park board for an “illegal” BBQ (That everyone is doing)

Nonsense police calls

BBQ

Selling water

Mowing lawns

Nappinb

Using an Air BnB

Moving into an apartment

Sitting in Starbucks

Because it's a risk to call the cops when black people break the law black people should be allowed to break the law with impunity. That women will get a quick lesson on the difficulties of dealing with competing interests in the commons. I'm sure there are plenty of black people in that neighborhood who would like to use the park without hot coals scattered around. You do realize that there are black people who like to walk around lakes barefoot without seeing charcoal strewn everywhere and without having to watch out so they don't burn their feet. There are still black people who can't afford to go to wine tastings.

It looks like they caught the

In reply to Trump "cannot be a uniter",

It looks like they caught the pipe bomber. Trump will say the FBI has been duped.

Edit add:

Trump wants to keep his base enraged. He helps the 1% achieve their goals. Trump said he would have a tax cut before the midterms, until he was reminded that Congress wasn’t in session. He lies to their faces and they still follow along.

In reply to This was a nonsense call.

The woman who challenged BBQ Becky was put on the park board. The park board obviously wants to destroy the park.

Given the risks associated with calling the police for this crap, it is a nonsense call.
