Children and immigration reform

Hmmmm.   People were baited into rioting is a strange take.   I’ve seen it throughout the Dem leadership so I see talking points have went out and that’s what you’re going with.   
 

Question…if one is gleeful, would they be foaming at the mouth too?   That seems like an odd combo.  The riot rationalizing is taking a toll on your posting my friend.

I think the mouth foaming has caused your reading comprehension to plummet if you think I'm "rationalizing rioting" when my posts have been about how the rioting is stupid and playing into Trump's hands.

Trump and his administration have raised the level of tension in the country with just about everything they have done.  He has made it clear that he wants to rule with an iron fist and people are rejecting that.

He's deeply unpopular and his attempts to rule by iron fist caused his approval ratings to plummet on every issue while simultaneously losing 96% of his cases in court. 

If people want to effectively reject Trump, they should do so at the ballot box trough effective messaging that counters his unpopular policies. What we shouldn't do is "reject" Trump by lighting cars on fire, throwing rocks at police, or anything else that will make Trump popular.

People don't like hearing this because people think in terms of "standing up to the bully", which we all understand BUT you have to do it in ways that will help you win elections.  

The funny thing is...not one poster here would light a cop car on fire or throw a rock at a cop...they all know it is stupid, wrong, foolish and dangerous...

But they are also very quick to "root" it on and act like it is a good idea.

While true you say it is stupid, which it is, you rationalize it as people being goated into rioting.   You are rationalizing their stupid behavior, or maybe excusing is a better word, by claiming someone was goated into it.  As if these rioters were tricked into burning cars and acting unruly.  
 

they are clowns and idiots and buffoons.  Just like the people who damaged the Capitol on Jan 6.   Just like the BLM rioters in 2020.

It's political bait because Trump is doing inefficient and poorly conducted immigration raids in Los Angeles and not a meat packing plant or agricultural facility in west Texas.

If the administration actually cared about deporting illegal immigrants, it's not a secret on where to find them. Illegal immigrants aren't exactly hiding.

Which is why is political theater to intentionally arrest and detain people without due process, send them to foreign prisons, 'accidentally' arrest brown citizens and other obviously illegal activity. Once the public is aware of this, they're going to be angry when ICE shows up. 

You ignoring this and cheering on gleefully hoping a small minority of people in LA burn the city to the ground is a symptom of the outrage machine the Right has built its foundation on.

Well I agree with you.

Let them protest all they want, but assure that it remains peaceful and lawful. This approach would require being a little extra forceful when any in the crowd begin to cross a line.

But yeah, then sit back and let Trump, MAGA and the Rs hang themselves electorally with their own fascist authoritarian ways. The Dems can’t be seen as aiding and abetting lawless behavior if they want to quit losing elections. And given what the Rs have been proposing and doing for the last 9 years or so, we don’t want them winning elections, even if I’m definitely not a dem, they are by far the least bad of the two.

I want to add to this, Democrats need to say also come at this from a pro-America angle. 

America is a good country led by bad people. The problem with the American left is that they think America is bad and Europe is good, so I have doubts if they can pull it off. 

Lastly, I genuinely hope we nominate Josh Shapiro for 2028. He's easily the candidate that gives Democrats the best shot at winning, but he's also Jewish. We need to kill the anti-Semitism currently infecting the far left of American politics.

Did you happen to see a few of the folks being picked up by ICE that got those LA folks in a rioting froth?  Some sick people

contrary to your opinion, I don’t hope a small minority of people (small minority of 10 million people is not a small amount of people fyi) burn LA to the ground.   I hope they get squashed quite quickly.   Cause the longer it goes, the more it will happen in other cities across the country.  The Leftists would see LA as a win and try to start the rioting elsewhere.

I was actually thinking the same thing. If Gavin can keep his state under control while pushing back on Trump, lower crime a little, and improve homelessness he's a shoe in.

I personally don't think he's a shoe in.  Gavin Newsom isn't that effective of a candidate, but he is "fighting back" which is all Democrats care about at the moment. So he may well run away with a primary because general election abilities aren't going to matter to Democratic primary voters. 

The issue with Newsom is that he's from a state that doesn't matter and he's going to represent everything unpopular with Democrats in crucial swing states. He doesn't bring anything to the table.

Must be a Philly thing.  ABC Philly story of 2 men losing as cops robbing people.     From 2023.

or maybe it’s a criminal thing?

2024, but Steve and Buster didn’t  post any of these stories for some reason.   Maybe didn’t fit the correct narrative, because criminals will find a way to be criminals and exploit circumstances unfortunately.
