    Ah, that makes it all okay then. Wishing harm and death on teenagers is now fine because something terrible was done by some fucker?

    What a list. Of course, no Democrat supporter ever harmed anyone, righ? And I guess nothing ever happened before Trump was elected President.
    How is vile an inexcusable violence by others an excuse to condemn teenagers and wish harm upon them?

    I must have missed the part where he was wishing violence on those teenagers. Keep on fighting that strawman.

    Nice deflection. You know very well that this referred to the reaction of so many people in the media and on social media.

    This! Holy hell, I remember saying I saw a video where the kids were shouting insults, and doing a tomahawk chop, but the video was gone shortly after I saw it, and it felt like being gaslighted when people insisted I didn't see it happen, but I knew I did.

    The whole unedited 2 hr clip was floating online. It was even posted here, and it still felt like half of us on this board were seeing an entirely different video.

    Stupid white teenagers mocking something with stupid racist memes? But teenagers are such well mannered respectful people who would never do anything offensive simply due to immaturity and a sense of rebellion. Teenagers always follow the rules and never act poorly, especially the white privileged ones in large groups.

    I am pretty sure that the right wing delusions are an actual mental disease at this point. I could drink a gallon of LSD and still see the real world better than a trump supporter. There are delusional schizophrenics who are in psych wards who are more connected with reality that the alt right. LRH's story of xenu has more basis in reality that alt right narratives. The people running into brick walls at UK train stations trying to get into harry potterland have more going for them than alt right crazies.

    In the defense of grown adults when I hear @Federal Farmer start going off on his joe rogan conspiracy MMA nonsense I feel the need to attack the boy. I will at least give the WWF points for not mixing their gay male mud wrestling with political conspiracy talk bullshit. These MMA joe rogan incel followers are just really doing steroids and amping themselves up to rape bitches.

    Remember, you're talking to people who still insist on claiming they're part of the "party of Lincoln."

    Putin was still effectively in control of Russia in between his time as president. Everyone knows that.

    Gee, it's almost as if something happened between 2012 and 2016. Like maybe in early 2014. Involving a military action and a fairly large peninsula.

    Almost.

    Crimea is 10,000 square miles. Which is larger in area than only six U.S. states.

    dunno at hwat point thetangent began but to the question in the OP: I've read a bunch of replies to news stories about the impeachment posted by local news stations and it confirms all my worst assumptions about Cult45. These folks are as unhinged as he is, shit's about to get dangerous
