I tried to tell you: We need to be working on What are AMERICA'S interest? What solutions can we work towards that work for EVERYBODY?

But that question and thought seems to have been tossed into the ditch in pursuit of your narrow agendas, and the only people that divisiveness works for are the people who pitted us against each other.

SECOND:It is in most Americans' best interests to avoid death.

So why are they out there protesting cheek by jowl?

I would discuss this with you, but you have no interest in a rational discussion. All you will do is use my posts as an excuse to throw even more shit against the wall.

One of these days, if you can get off YOUR narrow RNC v DNC agenda,we might actually have a chat.

Tweets are for fools. Let's see some solid reporting on this before we post it as being true.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

Once again, REAVERBOT posts evidence-free accusations. This time he stoops to Twitter (notorious source of "truth") since not even the corprorate-controlled M$M carries this allegation.

As usual REAVERBOT, your accusations run very far ahead of evidence. You did the same with RUSSIA!RUSSIA!, Covington kids, and other topics.

Look, I know you want revolution, but nobody here is stupid enough to be worked up by your chumming the waters.

No one. Ever. In the history of all the world. Stop straw-manning. They cannot be compared to fucking Columbus.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

You're right, REAVERBOT. If natives had gotten into ships and sailed eastwards towards Europe - which technically would have been easier since they would have been sailing with the prevailing winds from the west - and discovered a continent full of white people, THEN there would be some sort of comparison. But they didn't.

Reality is that the Europeans were technologically far more advanced and took advantage of that to dominate much of the world.

Of course I'm right. I always am, and if I say it, you know I can back it up. You should know that by now.

What has not been reported widely in the media, however, is the fact that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unit that is coordinating the “crowd control” effort — an agency called the Federal Protective Service (FPS) — is composed largely of contract security personnel. Those contractors are being furnished to FPS by major private-sector security companies like Blackwater corporate descendant Triple Canopy as well as dozens of other private security firms.

We will never have that chat because I live in an engineer's simple, binary world of picking either D or R, life or death, left or right, and Signym lives, in my opinion, in the tediously garrulous world of blathering philosophers taking forever to weigh all the evidence before making a nuanced decision. I'm happy to make quick and ugly decisions about four times a year that could bankrupt me using only my crude heuristic methods. For me, politics is more of the same -- an area of life that needs a fast decision, while Signym wants to mull it over leisurely and then make a delicate, careful and reversible decision. That is not who I am. The way I attack the world, ripping its beating heart out of its chest with my grubby hands, is philosophically incompatible with the sterile, surgical way Signym contemplates the world.

All I know is that you've passed along a lot of unverified bullshit which has later on been proven to be false.

Why are you lying? Are you really that out of ammo that you have to lie?

Drivers Are Hitting Protesters as Memes of Car Attacks Spread
In recent days, one person was killed in Seattle and two people were injured in Bloomington, Ind. Dozens of similar incidents have occurred across the United States.

Dozens of similar incidents have occurred across the United States in recent weeks, although it is difficult to assess which attacks are premeditated and which are prompted by rage when drivers find their route blocked by crowds. The tactic has previously been mostly used by extremist jihadist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda, as well as Palestinian militants.

“It is not just an extremist thing here, but there are social media circles online where people are sharing these and joking about them because they disagree with the protests and their methods,” said Ari E. Weil, the deputy research director at the Chicago Project on Security and Threats of the University of Chicago. “Sharing memes and joking about running over people can lead to real danger.”

The latest:

Aurora protest: One shot after car drives through Black Lives Matter demonstrators in Colorado

Looks like the Nazis are following their memes again.
