Dunno, may be stepping on a minefield here, but looking at religious terrorism, Islamic terrorists are technically right-wing if you look at their mandates.

Yup. They are authoritarian conservatives.

This is how the Americans protect elections, folks.

Can someone tell me what happens when so many people believe that elections will not be accurate? Anyone? But these clowns can't even get behind voting with proper identification. America is 10 times richer per person than South Africa, yet South Africa can get it done. But the almighty USA cannot? Pull my other leg while you are at it.

CNN Poll: Questions about accuracy of vote counting rise as most want to vote before Election Day

Confidence that votes for president will be accurately cast and counted has dropped significantly since 2016, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Pennsylvania: Mail ballots can't be discarded over signature

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — With concerns rising in Pennsylvania that tens of thousands of mail-in ballots will be discarded in the presidential election over technicalities, officials in the presidential battleground told counties they aren't allowed to reject a ballot solely because an election...

Care to explain the parallels?

@buka001, care to unpack why you agree with this assertion?

Gumboots, raincoat and snorkel needed for all the upcoming P-drops.

I wonder what you call it when people put everyone into a bucket of people, and call them "garbage and broken people" or some form, and then attack the very people that call that out? How many times have we seen very high level politicians do just that and the usual people are cool with that?

What's so interesting is that Greg was happy to call Trump treasonous over and over for over two years on the basis of really nothing. He was also so gleeful when Trump was impeached, proclaiming "impeachment is forever", almost rubbing it in everyone's faces he was so happy. Now, at the prospect of it happening to "his side", he now wants to take the moral high ground?

Shame, Greg can find no respite.

I do feel bad. He is the only one of the Lefties who actually has a sense of humour.

Possibly, although I don't think economic policies are at the forefront of suicide bombers minds.

So a better alternative would be to remove the left, right moniker altogether and instead group it by a more broad based purpose or rationale?
For example ethno nationalist would include all ethnic nationalist type attacks, be they white, black, chinese

Consider it encouragement that his sense of humour informs his politics rather than his politics informing his sense of humour.

DHS memo told officials to make comments favorable to Kenosha shootings suspect

In prepping DHS officials for questions about Rittenhouse, the document suggests they say he took a gun to Kenosha "to help defend small business owners."

Internal document shows Trump officials were told to make comments sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse

In prepping DHS officials for questions about Rittenhouse, the document suggests they say he took a gun to Kenosha "to help defend small business owners."

Federal law enforcement officials were directed to make public comments sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager charged with fatally shooting two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, according to internal Department of Homeland Security talking points obtained by NBC News.

In preparing Homeland Security officials for questions about Rittenhouse from the media, the document suggests that they note that he "took his rifle to the scene of the rioting to help defend small business owners."


Another set of talking points distributed to Homeland Security officials said the media were incorrectly labeling the group Patriot Prayer as racists after clashes erupted between the group and protesters in Portland, Oregon.

It is unclear whether any of the talking points originated at the White House or within Homeland Security's own press office.

Oh apart from liking the post because I knew it would raise some spicyness to this chili pot of a forum, there are similarities, which have been the subject of debate with think tanks that look at causes of terrorism.

Motives of far-right and Islamist terrorists ‘eerily similar’ | The Strategist

An international terrorism specialist has found an ‘eerie similarity’ between the manifesto released by right-wing terrorist Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 50 people and injured dozens more in New Zealand last year, and jihadist propaganda issued ...

So you're saying they were told to speak the truth? How dare they?!

Stalin would be proud of the mandated group think.

If you mean those who ignore all the video evidence of before and during the actual shooting then yes Stalin would be proud of those people.

Wow. You want to talk about group think after the actions of the MSM over the past 4 years?

No not in this case. It's actually an open and shut case. Except for the charge relating to the weapon.

Yeah, we know the Left are very anti "innocent until proven guilty".

And I deliberately left that image large, because some will have difficulty finding the crux of the matter.

Open an shut in your mind, yes

 

[Kieppie]

Open an shut in your mind, yes

We'll see once it reaches court.
But yes based on the video footage. It would be interesting to follow the thought processed of those that think differently. Can then help them out with logic flaws.

As a side note this is similar to the proud boys being called white supremacists. Just because some media outlets painted him in a negative light following does not mean they are correct.
