It appears no liberal Christmas is complete without the ultimate stocking stuffer: an actual stocking to wear over your face while rioting. While not yet selling face coverings for anonymous violence, Crooked Media, co-founded by former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor, is selling a line of Antifa items for liberals wanting to make a statement against any “Peace on Earth.” (As of this posting, Antifa items were still being sold on the “Crooked Store” site). You can now proudly wear your “Antifa Dad” hat to signal your support for political violence and deplatforming. It is the ultimate naughty gift list for putting the slay back into your Sleigh Bells.
These liberal hosts and their “POD SAVE AMERICA” show have been featured on various shows and courted by figures like Hillary Clinton.
There is no apparent backlash for their support of one of the most violent groups in the world, which routinely attacks journalists and anyone who holds opposing views. Imagine the media response if a conservative site started selling “Proud Boy” items.
Yet, Crooked Media is now offering liberals the chance to buy “ANTIFA” onesies for babies, a T-shirt for toddlers reading “ANTIFA” and other items.
Just to make sure that everyone understands the support for the violent group, a spokesperson for Crooked Media told Fox News Digital that the clothes it has listed on its website “are not a joke.” The spokesman added that “all toddlers are antifa until their souls are broken by capitalism.”
As discussed in my new book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” I explore the history of Antifa as a movement that began in Germany:
“Antifa originated with European anarchist and Marxist groups from the 1920s, particularly Antifaschistische Aktion, a Communist group from the Weimar Republic before World War II. Its name resulted from the shortening of the German word antifaschistisch. In the United States, the modern movement emerged through the Anti- Racist Action (ARA) groups, which were dominated by anarchists and Marxists. It has an association with the anarchist organization Love and Rage, which was founded by former Trotsky and Marxist followers as well as offshoots like Mexico’s Amor Y Rabia. The oldest U.S. group is likely the Rose City Antifa (RCA) in Portland, Oregon, which would become the center of violent riots during the Trump years. The anarchist roots of the group give it the same organizational profile as such groups in the early twentieth century with uncertain leadership and undefined structures.”
Despite the denial of its existence by figures like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), I have long written and spoken about the threat of Antifa to free speech on our campuses and in our communities. This includes testimony before Congress on Antifa’s central role in the anti-free speech movement nationally.
As I have previously written, it has long been the “Keyser Söze” of the anti-free speech movement, a loosely aligned group that employs measures to avoid easy detection or association. Yet, FBI Director Chris Wray has repeatedly pushed back on the denials of Antifa’s work or violence. In one hearing, Wray stated, “And we have quite a number” — and “Antifa is a real thing. It’s not a fiction.”
We have continued to follow the attacks and arrests of Antifa followers across the country, including attacks on journalists.
Some Democrats have played a dangerous game in supporting or excusing the work of Antifa. Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Minnesota attorney general, once said Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump. This was after Antifa had been involved in numerous acts of violence, and its website was banned in Germany.
Ellison’s son, Minneapolis City Council member Jeremiah Ellison, declared his allegiance to Antifa in the heat of the protests this summer. During a prior hearing, Democratic senators refused to clearly denounce Antifa and falsely suggested that the far right was the primary cause of recent violence. Likewise, Joe Biden has dismissed objections to Antifa as just “an idea.”
It is at its base a movement at war with free speech, defining the right itself as a tool of oppression. That purpose is evident in what is called the “bible” of the Antifa movement: Rutgers Professor Mark Bray’s Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.
Bray emphasizes the struggle of the movement against free speech: “At the heart of the anti-fascist outlook is a rejection of the classical liberal phrase that says, ‘I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.’”
Bray admits that “most Americans in Antifa have been anarchists or antiauthoritarian communists… From that standpoint, ‘free speech’ as such is merely a bourgeois fantasy unworthy of consideration.”
Now, liberal families can bring a small part of that political violence into their homes for the holiday to pledge that there will be no peace or silent nights so long as opposing views are heard. Antifa has gone retail, and there is no better way to celebrate political violence and rage than your Antifa onesie.
With tensions rising after the election, the embrace of organizations like Antifa will only fuel calls for violent action. Liberal figures like ex-Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz have even conveyed support for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan.
It is not the time to go full naughty list to celebrate a group that regularly beats reporters and others with opposing viewpoints. While this may appeal to your own special smash-mouth Santa, tis the season for political violence.
Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University and the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
Jonathan: Speaking about “naughty” things how much money did Elon Musk spend on DJT’s campaign? About $250 million. We know where some of the money went. Musk set up a fake voter registration PAC, ostensibly to give voters an online place to register. But Musk then refused to submit voter registrations for those he thought might vote for Kamala Harris. Voter fraud. You betcha!
Now it has come to light that Musk also used his money for other nefarious activities. In mid-October a new Super Pac appeared–called the “RBG PAC”—named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg. There was am immediate infusion of $20 million into the RBG PAC for ad buys for the DJT campaign. The names of the donor(s) to the PAC were not disclosed. Ads depicted photos of DJT and Ginsburg side by side with the caption “Great Minds Think Alike”. The ads implied DJT and Ginsburg shared the same views on abortion and implied Ginsburg would have endorsed DJT.
In late October the Ginsburg family denounced the pro-Trump “RBG PAC”. In a statement Clara Spera, the granddaughter of the justice, said: “The use of her name and image to support Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, and specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on abortion, is nothing short of appalling”. In the latest FEC filing we now know who set up the “RBG PAC. The FEC Schedule A, form 3X shows it was the “Elon Musk Revocable Trust” in Austin, Texas. Are we surprised? If I were an advisor to the Ginsburg family I would suggest they file a lawsuit against Musk for using RBG’s image without permission–say a complaint for $300 billion in damages.
So Musk used his vast wealth to get DJT re-elected. And what return does Musk expect from that investment? Tesla shares are already up 13% after DJT’s win. Musk holdings of 411 million shares means about a 12,000 return on his DJT campaign contributions. In addition, DJT has appointed Musk as co-chair of the unelected “Department of
Government Efficiency” where Elon can eliminate all those pesky government regulations of his businesses. Not a bad pay day for Musk.
If anyone thought the first DJT administration was the most corrupt in history, you haven’t seen anything yet. The second will be even worse! I doubt that in the next four years you will spend one column pointing out the “vast corruption” of the second DJT administration. But you will, bizarrely, support a continued investigation of the Biden family!
The Harris campaign claimed Beyonce was going to give a concert. Millions of fans signed up to get tickets. They trotted Beyonce out for a three minute speech and she walked off. A bunch of those fans walked out or booed Harris when she took the stage. The Harris campaign kept all those peoples money. The Harris campaign blew some $1.2 billion dollars and ended up some $20 million in debt. The Harris campaign is still trying to fleece, er, um, get donations from voters. Those are facts.
The BCF should be investigated for their possible corruption. We all know they shook down a Chinese business man for millions of dollars. That is a fact. But Joe Biden, lied and pardoned his son of his crimes. The Bidens have no respect for law and order. They have made that clear.
Nation strongly rejects Biden’s pardon of son Hunter

Note to Dipshit McIntyre: “Jonathan: Speaking about “naughty” things how much money did Elon Musk spend on DJT’s campaign? About $250 million.”
You wanted Zuckerburg given the Medal of Honor for spending almost $500 million dollars in primarily Democrat districts in swing states to ‘get out the vote’.
I’m double dipping just for the bump: really, do you on the modern left hear yourselves? You seem to be perfectly fine with political violence, and that is batsh** insane. What in the hell is wrong with you people? You are f***** sick. Your children are worse. Wake the hell back up to sanity.
James,
I hear what you are saying but this is the party of “by any means necessary.” The few times I do read Dennis, Gigi, the slow and dumb one just goes to prove they are devoid of sanity. Their perception of reality is in question as well. Be one thing if they were just one off kooks but there is an entire swath of this country who think like they do.
Upstate, sometimes I just think that they are contrarian weirdos who have this odd need to be counter to what everyone else rightly believes. It makes them feel special, but it really makes them appear moronic.
Keep up the good work, you are one of this sites great assets.

Here is the really messed up part, they are now not only cheering murder on but normalizing it.
They cannot be woken from their lifetime of indoctrination and we, as a nation, will need deal – not only with these nut-jobs, but all the other little thug groups such as BLM and eco-warriors etc. – until they age out as they are broken human flotsam in the system. Useless yet costly; and we allowed this to happen because not enough people were willing to actually see what was happening and speak out for fear of their angry reprisals (aided by the left-bent media). Now we must pay an extreme cost to control these brainwashed fools and extremely angry toddlers. It is going to get worse as their world becomes constricted by conservatives and civilized adults reining in their tantrums and boorish displays.
Whimsicalmama,
I am kinda looking forward to hearing them whine and cry as the adults put them in the corner. Just reading Dennis, Gigi the slow and dumb one’s comments put a smile on my face!
Mama: please stop. You MAGAS don’t speak for “we” —the majority of Americans. You MAGAs are the ones who can’t see reality— how the billionaires who want more tax cuts and elimination of regulations so they can get even richer have started MAGA media to convince gullible people to vote Republican. They get you to believe you can save those “unborn babies”, save children from forced sex change operations in the school nurse’s office, stop the “poisoning of the blood” of Americans by migrants who are running rampant, murdering and raping women, stealing cats and dogs and eating them and all of the other culture war nonsense that gets people like you on board. It’s really all about the money—can’t you see that? Do you really believe that Trump isn’t the womanizing liar, sexual assaulter, thief and fraudster that the rest of us know he is?

Cuba’s climate would be more appealing to most of them, anyway 🙂 I’ve been thinking about the benefits of a reverse boat people emigration program on behalf of several groups for a while now…
“Annexing Canada”
Lincoln taught Americans that secession, which is not prohibited, is prohibited, the logic of which would indicate that annexation is similarly prohibited, understanding that it is not prohibited.
Too bad “Crazy Abe” isn’t here for us to inquire of.
In any case, it appears that his brilliant mind was “changed,” shall we say?
Despot: noun, singular power
Tyrant: noun, absolute cruel ruler
Leaderless: adjective, lacking a leader
Hydra: noun, evil many headed serpent
I think all the above could be applied to Antifa
Antifa though leaderless could be defined as Tyrannical.
Besides the Hydra the Starfish could be used as an example how Antifa is a leaderless serpent as Ori Brafman and Rod A. Beckstrom did in their book: “The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations” where they wrote ‘If you cut off a spider’s head, it dies; if you cut off a starfish’s leg it grows a new one and that leg can grow into a entirely new starfish. Traditional top=down organizations are like spiders, but now starfish organizations are changing the face of business and the world.’ How we rid our society or set about to control the Antifa Ideology in our free society is like a two-edged sword where no matter which edge you land on [ouch}.
Why hide behind ANTIFA? Why not sell prints of their glorious hammer and sickle banner outright?

OT:
Since the Dems are now floating the idea of Biden pardoning anyone who may have committed a crime during his term, Mayorkas, Garland, Schiff, Cheney, Milley et al, I have a rather creative idea to help facilitate a strong Trump term…PARDON HIS WHOLE TEAM ON HIS FIRST DAY. Let Patel, Bondi, Tulsi, Hegeth, Homan and the gang know that whatever they do they will be protected against federal prosecution.
Hello Goose, this is Gander talking.
Wait, preemptive pardoning has been “accepted” and “understood” for centuries. In the absence of that stipulation, there can be no effective governance. Oh, and may we prosecute W. Bush, Hillary, the “Haughty” John Kerry et al. for that wholly unjustified, totally profligate, and completely fatuous war in Iraq?
hullbobby: NO. Biden is not considering “pardoning anyone who may have committed a crime during his term”–he is considering pre-emptively pardoning those on Patel’s “hit list” BECAUSE they are on a political “hit list” MAGA media is lying to you when they claim that any of these people is guilty of committing a crime. This is how low Trump has brought our country–that an incoming administration has compiled a “hit list” that the outgoing administration has to pre-emptively pardon.

Gigi, they are on a “hit” list because they have committed crimes and they need to be prosecuted.
Did you have any issue with Bannon, Manaford, Stone, Navarro or Trump being hit with lawfare?
Schiff, Cheney, Mayorkas, Biden, Biden’s brothers, Biden’s sisters and a few others have committed crimes that need to be looked into.
Karma is a Gigi!
HullBobby,
“Karma is a Gigi!”
HA! Good one!
hullbobby: WHAT crimes? Hasn’t MAGA media told you yet what crimes these people allegedly committed? MAGA media, paid for by billionaires who want government to be used to make them richer, made up the word “lawfare” to pretend that Trump really didn’t falsify business records–even though the records and multiple witnesses say he did; to pretend that Trump really didn’t sexually assault E. Jean Carroll, even though a jury said he did; to pretend that he didn’t steal classified documents, lie about returning them, returned some, hid others and made up lies about “mentally declassifying them, even though he did; that he didn’t start the Big Lie after he lost in 2020, even though over 60 failed court cases prove he did. Why haven’t the Republicans come up with any proof of the “Biden Crime Family”, and, more importantly, why do you MAGAs believe there is a “Biden Crime Family” even though there isn’t any proof? Why is Elon Musk lobbying Senators to confirm the diasterously incompetent and unqualified Trump nominees, and even went to France for the re-dedication of Notre Dame? Could it be that he purchased this role by giving Trump $250 million, and that this is how the US government will be operating over the course of the next 4 years–paying back donors who helped put over the worst POTUS in US history? How do you think that Musk and Patel are going to come up with the trillions of dollars needed to offset the massive tax breaks they and other billionaires will get to thank them for financing the campaign of a convicted felon, pathological liar, womanizer, thief and fraudster? Here’s a hint–for years now Republicans have proposed a bill to cut back on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and school lunch programs–it keeps getting shot down, but this time, it will go through–that will help finance the huge tax breaks, which was what the Trump campaign always was about while you gullibles thought you were saving unborn babies, saving kids from getting sex-change operations, deporting migrants and stopping boys from competing with girls in sports. The rich will get richer and the rest of us can go to hell–which might happen sooner rather than later after Gabbard gives all of our top secret information to Putin and Syria–we won’t have any spies left to tip us about plots to harm us and our allies won’t trust us anymore.
Abraham Lincoln was a great American leader who suppressed a burgeoning rebellion.
Proclamation 80—Calling Forth the Militia and Convening an Extra Session of Congress
“On April 15, 1861,…President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling forth the state militias, to the sum of 75,000 troops, in order to suppress the rebellion. He appealed ‘to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union.’”
Proclamation 92—Warning to Rebel Sympathizers
“[On] July 17, 1862,…I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim to and warn all persons within the contemplation of said sixth section to cease participating in, aiding, countenancing, or abetting the existing rebellion or any rebellion against the Government of the United States and to return to their proper allegiance to the United States on pain of the forfeitures and seizures as within and by said sixth section provided.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
Now President Donald J. Trump MUST pull a full “Lincoln” and close the border, impose martial law, prosecute a war against the communist rebellion without a formal declaration, shred the Communist Manifesto and irrevocably extirpate all principles of communism in America, implement the “manifest tenor” of the Constitution and Bill of Rights including absolute freedom, absolute free enterprise, absolute free markets, and absolute private property including a fully constitutional dearth of taxation and regulation, eliminate the Departments of Labor, Education, Agriculture, Energy, HUD, and EPA, issue the “Deportation Proclamation” deporting all illegal aliens, past and present, including those who illegally pursued citizenship as criminal border crossers and “asylum” seekers who all made false and fraudulent claims of phantom, nonexistent persecution as foreign citizens with no U.S. rights, establish coherent voter qualifications by State legislatures per the Constitution, declare English the sole official language of the United States, suspend habeas corpus, smash opposition printing presses, networks, podcasts, social media platforms, etc., and throw anyone and everyone who opposes him in prison to Save the Union until America is placed squarely back on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Is grift and graft the same thing?
* 🤔 look it up? Mommy isn’t here.
Jonathan? I say that if DJT can grift by hawking MAGA merchandise (hats, shirts, coffee cups, etc.), $100,000 watches and fake Gibson Les Paul guitars, why can liberals sell “ANTIFA” merchandise? It’s all about “free enterprise”. Right?
When it comes to political violence ANTIFA is small potatoes. What about Jan. 6, 2021? That was not inspired by ANTIFA. It was led by DJT’s MAGA supporters. “MAGA” stands for using political violence to overturn a legitimate election–something never seen in the history of the country. And how about the 2 attempts on DJT’s life? Were they carried out by ANTIFA supporters? Nope. And what about the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson? Although the suspect in that act has yet to be captured it appears he was motivated by “personal grievances”– not by some devotion to ANTIFA.
Despite your years of trying to portray ANTIFA as “one of the most violent groups in the world” the facts belie your claims! Most political violence comes from the right and the supporters of DJT–like the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers and other fascist right-wing paramilitary groups. That’s the problem–not ANTIFA!
Great to hear from a Holocaust Denier in person!

GEB,
I dunno. I think sitting back and watching him burn would be more fun.
@Upstate
MAGA merchandise, even though I personally disagree with the whole notion of MAGA as it is represented, does not advocate hitting people in the head with a baseball bat if not outright shooting them because they disagree with you. This is deeper than that, and it is f***ed up. These people are flipping, unrelentingly, unquestionably psychos, and we have to take our power back. In a fashion that is indisputable. We have a very long four years ahead of us. Shoot, we have a long road to the midterms. Disgusting and hateful people will not cease being such simply because they lost an election. we are ina very real battle for our souls, and I say that as a secular.

October 13, 2024, in a Fox News interview
Thanks Dennis: Turley has to dig deep to come up with anti-Democrat stories to feed the disciples and to deflect attention away from the Hegseth and Gabbard scandals. There’s at least one bright spot–some of the Republicans, especially those who have served in the armed forces, are taking their Constitutional duty to “advise and consent” and are standing up to Trump, and have pushed back against Hegseth. It’s not just his misogyny, womanizing and sexual assaults, or even his obvious alcoholism, but it’s his financial incompetence. He ran a veterans organization into the ground. Excerpted from “The Hill”, citing “The NewYorker”:
“Hegseth’s reported booting from both Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America raises further questions about his suitability to take the helm as Defense secretary, a position in which he would oversee the country’s largest federal agency that employs more than 2.8 million people.
The publication cited a previously undisclosed whistleblower report on Hegseth’s time as the president of Concerned Veterans for America (CVA). That seven-page report, which chronicled his 2013 to 2016 tenure, describes him as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity and sometimes needing to be carried out of the organization’s events.
The report had been created by multiple former CVA employees and sent to the organization’s senior management in February 2015.
Among the most damning allegations, Hegseth was so intoxicated he had to be physically stopped from joining dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team in November 2014.
Two people who told The New Yorker they had contributed to the report said they had seen Hegseth drunk numerous times and on multiple occasions dragged away or carried from one location to another because he was so intoxicated.
“To have him at the Pentagon would be scary,” one person said.
In one complaint in the report, describing a CVA event in Virginia Beach on Memorial Day weekend in 2014, Hegseth was seen as “totally sloshed” and had to be carried to his room because “he was so intoxicated.”
The next month at an event in Cleveland, Hegseth went with his team to a bar near their hotel and got “completely drunk in a public place,” with “several high profile people” who were in attendance “very disappointed to see this kind of public behavior,” according to the report.
The report also says that Hegseth — at the time married to his second wife — along with other members of his management team sexually pursued the CVA’s female staffers and created a hostile workplace that ignored serious accusations of sexual assault or harassment.”
Here’s a little suggestion for Trumpy Bear–call it my Christmas gift–why not follow the procedure previous incoming presidents have followed and have the FBI investigate and report on potential nominees before going public with their name? If you do that, you save the trouble of having to first try to charm and next, coax and then threaten Senators who balk at the Defense Department being run by an alcoholic womanizing financially incompetent person who opposes women serving in combat roles.
Oh, and you MAGAs out there–you might want to check out the Russian talk show episode that I saw last night that explains why Putin is literally thrilled that Patel, if he gets in, will dismantle our FBI counterintelligence unit.

So, it’s “godless” to point out that Hegseth is massively unqualified to lead the DOD when: 1. he has no significant leadership experience at all, and when he was in a leadership role in a veteran’s organization, he ran it into the ground and nearly bankrupted it; 2. he is an alcoholic–he even came to work at Fox drunk as recently as “this fall” according to witnesses; 3. he is a misogynist–even his mother said he abuses women–although she has tried to walk it back, there’s plenty of other proof; 4. he opposes women in combat roles–there are several of such women in Congress right now–Senator Tammy Duckworth, Senator Joni Ernst; Representative Mikie Sherrill, as examples.
It’s not “godless” to point out how important the DOD is to our safety and security and that there are plenty of career military people who would be much better suited to lead.
Oh BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You said, “Turley has to dig deep to come up with anti-Democrat stories to feed the disciples. . . ”
Dig deep??? Are you for real??? Geeeez, but anti-Democrat stories are all over the place! They are ubiquitous! You can find them almost anywhere except for the Legacy Media. Why do you think Democrats are clamoring for censorship??? They want to make the voices stop!
Floyd-great lines. Make the Voices stop.-perfect.
“Among the most damning allegations, Hegseth was so intoxicated he had to be physically stopped from joining dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team in November 2014”
lolol. Oh no, how will he ever work with a bunch of crooks ripping off the DVA? That is the concern, right?
F off, scumbag loser. And take your antifa terrorists with you so no one needs to waste ammo.
@Gigi
Oh, you can eff right off. That these people are asking for money to support their Antifa bull**** is all we need to know. I hope others agree; I am pretty f***ing weary of children dictating the left’s positions because they are mentally and emotionally incapable of living a human life with all of its triumph and tragedy like a normal human being. Screw these people. Really. To the skies. We are done with them. There is not a single ounce of redemption remaining on the modern left. Go to hell. We will move on and create something wonderful, and you will be on the sidelines being jealous, or at worst, claiming credit. Go. To. Hell. We are done with you.
James: all I know about “Antifa” is that this is another MAGA media talking point used to hook the gullibles, and that’s because no one other than MAGA media talks about them–whoever they are. MAGA media tried to blame “Antifa” for January 6. Here is a little information about the financial status of Biden’s cabinet and Trump’s proposed cabinet that might help place into perspective some of the bad things that are predicted to be forthcoming. The combined net worth of Biden’s Senate-confirmed cabinet members is $118 million. The combined net worth of Trump’s proposed cabinet members who need Senate confirmation as of this point is $10 billion. If you add in others that do not require Senate confirmation, that number climbs to $340 billion. Republicans are already talking about cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, plus deep cuts to defense–all to pay for the massive tax breaks these billionaires who are going to be running our government expect to receive in exchange for the massive amount of campaign contributions they made to Trump. Musk alone gave him over $100 million, and he has billions in government contracts on the line, which is why he has no business being involved in our government, even in an advisory capacity, and especially involving matters of government spending–but Trump has to pay him back. Also, cuts to EV technology will hurt his competitors, but not him, so he’s all in favor of that. That’s just the up-front things we know about.
So, you see, James, MAGA media has to keep pumping out stories like this one to keep you believing that Trump is looking out for you and “fighting” to “save America”. Sooner or later, you’ll figure out that’s not true and it’s all about the money and power. I just hope you or someone you care about doesn’t depend on Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid. Federal cuts to Medicaid will result in multiple states denying or severely cutting back on aid to needy people. But, hey, Elon Musk gets to parade around the halls of Congress, with some little kiddle in tow, pretending to be someone important and influential, lobbying Senators for Hegseth, Gabbard and others. Maybe that’s worth $100 million to him.
You know who’s really gullible, giggles? It is you, who believes that by posting your disgusting hatred and ugliness everyday, that someone other than Dennis or Georgie or Anonymous will “like” you and make you feel good about yourself.
You are gullible in believing that your comment is “liked,” but in reality, your fellow critics are really “liking” the original words, stories, opinions, or comments of others that you have copied and incorporated into your own personality. You cannot think on your own. You rely on others to form your opinions. Gullible Gigi, I like the sound of that.
Tom: there’s nothing hateful or ugly about pointing out the amount of campaign contributions Trump got, the financial worth of the nominations he has made, and the expectation that these donor have for the money they have spent–massive tax breaks, massive roll backs of consumer and environmental protections, all paid for by cutting entitlements and defense spending. Musk is conflicted–he has billions on the line in government contracts–it is basic ethics to point out that he is conflicted. Why is he parading around the Capitol and lobbying Senators to confirm people like Hegseth and Gabbard? He purchased this attention–and it is wrong! Saying that is neither hateful or ugly.
Actually, it was more like $250 million that Musk paid to Trump.
The difference between Trump and Biden is Trump does not need the money. Biden does.
Upstate: Trump has burnished a reputation for being wealthy–but the truth is, he inherited and was gifted wealth that he has mostly squandered on vanity projects like 2 failed casinos — so he has to borrow money to keep his golf resorts and hotels up and running–and because of the bankruptcies, had to lie on financial documents to borrow more money and on better terms than if he told the truth. Read the book “Lucky Loser” for details.
Upstate: Gigi has burnished a reputation for being gullibly susceptible to any opinion that is contrary to conservatives, Republicans, or common-sense logic. Gigi has to borrow intelligence from others to keep her blog comments up and running–and because of her own bankrupt intelligence, has to lie on blog posts in order to borrow more words, phrases, comments and opinions to keep her comments “liked” by dennis and george than if she told the truth. Read the book “Gullible Gigi” for details.
You are totally incorrect. Antifa will be declared a terrorist group by Trump. Community’s are evil and godless. They are non compatible with this Republican and need removed. Our ancestors killed them.
It can’t be “declared a terrorist group” because there is no such designation in law. There is such a thing as a “designated foreign terrorist organization”, but the key word there is “foreign”. Domestic groups, no matter how terroristic their activities, cannot be thus designated, and there is no other designation in law that they would fit into.
Terrorist acts are of course already criminal, and no designation is required for those. But only those committing such acts, or conspiring to commit them, can be charged with a crime. People who give material support to Antifa, such as by selling or buying the disgusting merch that is the subject of this post, but who do not conspire with its members to commit any of their crimes, are not doing anything illegal, and neither the government nor even Congress can make it illegal.
Whereas if Antifa were based in another country it could be so designated, and then Crooked Media would be committing a felony by selling the merch, and so would anyone who bought it.
What could be more ironic than a marxist anti-capitalist group selling “merch”.
Merch is everywhere now, ala Hobo Soup at this presentation!

Bravo. Have you seen their prices? They are definitely capitalists.

The good news is the Democrat Party has embraced them. As a result, the Democrat Party is finally correctly viewed by the majority of voters – at least in the last elections – as a fringe third party behind both Republicans and Independents. Embracing every radical fringe nut has its limits.
I agree more with you than you do with yourself.

Mein Gott but I feel old, and out of place – – -35 comments in, and no one has mentioned???
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is a 1970 book by Tom Wolfe. The book, Wolfe’s fourth, is composed of two essays: “These Radical Chic Evenings”, first published in June 1970 in New York magazine, about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party, and “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers”, about the response of many minorities to San Francisco’s poverty programs. Both essays looked at the conflict between black rage and white guilt.[1]

Floyd, great reference! The GRIFT has been going on for decades, as has the slow takeover of the country by the left.
Thx! Also, remember Weather Underground???
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground
That is where I get my weather forecast from.
You don’t need them to know which way the wind blows… 🙂
In todays America the Weather Underground are just Obama staff members.
@Floyd
Yes. You had better believe that many of us remember Weather Underground. Just not privileged little poops that think their groceries grow on store shelves and the bank is mom and dad, or grandma and grandpa, and that they can grow ‘crops’ on cardboard on the asphalt of a downtown city street. We need to course correct, and right effing now.
I hope this link works, but look at the clothes and fashions for the Young Revolutionary!

I’ve been wondering where I could get a Mao suit. I mean they so shiek.
Aren’t they a hoot! Scroll down, and there is that one chick in her blue uniform, with obligatory beret.
IIRC, Hillary has a few in a rather rotund size.
Floyd-I like the Sultry Looks
Yep, they got that Manson Girls vibe down pat!
No one wants to read the postings of a poopy head. Life is too short.
Anitfa is just a buzzword that Communists hide behind, knowing the public will despise them. I wonder if these silly, posturing, limousine liberals realize that “Antifa” will be declared a Terrorist organization very soon? I can’t wait to hear about the pedigree of this shooter of the United Health CEO. The age of coverups is about to end. Trump, Bondi, and Patel will take care of this.
Antifa will not be “declared a terrorist organization” because there is no such designation known to the law.
There is such a thing as a “designated foreign terrorist organization”, but the key word is “foreign”. A domestic organization can’t be so designated.
“. . . there is no such designation known to the law.” “A domestic organization can’t be so designated.”
Where did you get that idea from?
DOJ, FBI, Treasury all define “domestic terrorism.” They list *domestic* terrorists and groups, and have comprehensive strategies to combat *domestic* terrorism.
Unlike in 2019-2020 when the leftist riots go overboard this time the rioters will get the same kind of treatment that the J6 rioters got. When Bondi and Patel start to go after these groups and their backers they will get a taste of what it is like under a true law and order administration.
Get caught doing damage while rioting…go to jail.
Get caught rioting while here illegally…get deported.
Get caught funding ANTIFA or groups rioting…hello Mr. RICO.
Injure cops or Secret Service agents, as they did in the May 2020 DC riot, enjoy 10 years.
Get caught taking over buildings, shutting down traffic or attacking citizens…say hi to your new cellmate.
FINALLY we will see some justice for the leftist monsters that have had a get out of jail free card all these years.
HullBobby,
I like the idea, you know, law and order but the local DAs would have to enforce those laws. As we have seen in Blue cities and states, DAs let them off and Democrat politicians like Harris donate funds to bail the law breakers out.
UpstateFarmer-Charge as much as possible as a Federal crime and prosecution by a DJT appointed Federal DA. If a local DA fails to pursue then the DOJ needs to “investigate” that DA’s office for a variety of reasons such as incompetence and denial of civil rights to the endangered citizens and then get Consent Decrees that all decisions to prosecute or not prosecute be reviewed and approved by the Federal DA (DJT appointed)
