Sounds Good to Me
Yeah, Well What About OUR Feelings?

Add Blackvoice to the List
It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on Family Guy for 20 years. I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role. [More]And Jewish lesbian characters should only be played by Jewish lesbians.
How dare actors play people they're not!
I've been wondering when multimillionaire Seth MacFarlane, a socialist, would start getting called out for stuff that would forever destroy a "conservative."
The real-life Cleveland Show was funnier anyway.
Meanwhile, a move is underway to keep giving white-privileged "progressives" a pass.
And They Say There are No Stupid Questions
Do Universal Background Checks Prevent Gun Violence? [More]The only thing the "experts" seem to be able to agree on is, once they've got 'em, they want more infringements.
An Orwellian Conclusion
And multiple studies have shown that a higher prevalence of guns owned by citizens leads to a higher local rate of shooting deaths by police, suggesting that America’s gun violence epidemic is a large part of police killings, and vice versa. While systemic racism is at the heart of police violence, experts say the role of guns—and the police’s fear of guns—is not to be ignored. A holistic solution to police violence, they say, must include the tightening gun laws. [More]It doesn't strike Talib Visram that you might not want to give guns exclusively to people suffering from multiple crippling phobias? And these "studies" show the preponderance of people being shot by police actually own their guns, in both the moral and legal sense of the term?

More Proof That All Trump Supporters are Racist
Again ... one of his most vocal supporters is the guy who screams "white power" ... one of Trump's "great people." So, he's not even masking it anymore. [More]Or more likely, he voiced approval for a rally without hearing this, and these TMZ (Warner) "Gotcha!" lefties are spreading that he is personally accountable for one angry old fool allowing himself to be goaded. Is it now fair to hold Biden responsible for every dumbass thing his supporters scream in anger?
The object here, of course, being... well, no one who's a regular here needs me to explain...

This looks very different from visibly standing guard. Unless there was a precipitating event that is being unreported, I see no excuse for this -- or for the poor gun handling.
UPDATE: I'm being told this was not just a public sidewalk but the mob went through a gate-- I've been very busy all day and haven't had time to do anything but what I've been working on -- will look into this later.
UPDATE: As Emily Litella would say, "Ooh. That's very different. Nevermind."
I wonder why so many "news" reports don't seem to believe this relevant to bring up...
