Saudi Arabia or Argentina. At least in South America he can swap stories with his fellow nazi expatriates.

Partisanship. Really?
You did say a lot of Trump supporters are dropping him like a hot potato.
Talk about Trump making a politically bad move.

I don't think so, Tim. 8)

Your reasoning is erroneous.
Republicans are turning on Trump, and rightly so. 8)
There is no "binary" here.


you're projecting your own emotionalism onto Xfiles, who just stating the rational obvious.


How so?

Saying that Trump is a grifter is simply stating an objective fact.

Why do accuse Xfiles of lashing out at folks who are moderate and objective when she is not doing that all? And why do you react so emotionally by falsly accusing her? You obviously ARE being quite irrational.


The suggestion that there aren't anti-social elements on either side of the political divide, is self-evident nonsense.

Yes, that is your *opinion*.

You do realise *all* WP members are entitled to voice their opinion.
Some, in other threads, have suggested those outside America shouldn't be allowed to voice their thoughts regarding American politics.
Is this your view also?

BTW, it is interesting that you selectively avoid answering some of my questions.
For example, please explain where my argument is illogical.
You can't cancel someone's argument by saying something without a counter-argument.
If you have none, you shouldn't have made the comment in the first place.

breaking into the whitehouse. I bet if this was antifa the death toll would have been massive, Police have exercised tremendous restraint.

No indication why it was necessary to shoot her. Was she carrying a weapon?

weapon or not, her mere physicality breaking into their "house" was sufficient to engage in self-defense. what would you do if somebody violently broke into YOUR house?


Is this how it is going to be viewed in a court of law, in this particular circumstance?
I doubt it, but we will see.

I also doubt something/k like the mere trespassing on a government facility, here in Australia, would warrant shooting a protestor/rioter.
I guess it is a case of "When in Rome".

I answered it several times. For the umpteenth time you have no argument because you accused XFiles of something she is not doing.

You have the right to be ignorant. And to express your ignorance. And I have the right to point out that you're ignorant. Dont know what your point is. you're the one who is trying to stamp out my freedom of speech.

How many times did antifa invade the US Congress while it was in session? Serious question.

Um, it's exactly how I proposed it went down!?


You said "security guards", right?
In the article it said she was killed by a plain clothes officer.

They said the woman who was shot was part of a group of multiple individuals that forced entry into the House room that was still in session.

You didn't acknowledge the photo I posted...here it is again

If she was dumb enough to cross into a sitting session of the whitehouse with plains clothes officers pointing loaded weapons then nobody should be surprised by the outcome.


Many people were shocked that the woman was shot.
I don't think this would happen in Australia.
Maybe it is an American thing.
But we don't know the entire circumstance.

4 people now dead, btw.
3 due to "medical conditions", whatever that is.

No mention of Brazil? That’s where his BFF is.

The other three were likely too old to be doing this stuff
