But hey, according to Whell, it’s all just harmless fun, ‘cause his far-Reich zealot pals are just lovable, cuddly guys.

Murderous GOP Rhetoric Kills Mother Of Nine

Meanwhile,

Former president Donald Trump, who lives in Florida and is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, has yet to issue any public statements on the racially motivated killings of three Black people in Jacksonville, Fla.

LOL.

LOL, you had to completely mischaracterize my post to make your brainless point. Good job.

I'm not denying anything. The point is you have no idea at all what motivated the shooter. Absolutely none. You have much conjecture and finger-pointing, and that's all.

You and WaPo are so full of crap. The FBI report doesn't even use the term "right-wing" or "left-wing".

Did President Biden cause the fires in Maui?

The only way to deal with a troll like Whell is to ignore him. Between Chicks mentioning him in every post and everybody else in this forum taking his bait, I give up. (I'm included in that everybody else, ftr.)

Y'all have fun.

"About the Maui wildfires" is not a precise description. Just what was actually asked? Who asked, when? The President cannot and does not comment to just anyone who asks something, on demand.

I disagree bob. I think having people like whell and zero around here is of significant benefit. I believe we need constant reminders of just how sociopathic and hypocritical the opposition is. There's always a new wrinkle in the ideology of the alt-right/MAGA in this country. Knowing what kind of disinformation and lies are being spread is dangerous and important to know. When one of these schmucks unloads the latest MAGAt bullshit, and somebody counters it with the reality and the truth, it reinforces to everybody, just what kind of fetid chunks these shitbags are spewing.

I'm not sure what the deal is with Dondi. Is he an old guy like me? Maybe it's an organicity problem in his head.
