Except it wont be over pretty quick. Because these folks fomenting violence will sneak back to where they came from.
And the victims won't be the agitators but the agitated. And that includes all our friends and family members or neighbors, etc...

 

we need women
not sure who needs libs

 

We need voices for those who can't speak.
We need a voice for the opressed.
We need a voice for what is right, not what is best.
We need a voice for our conscience.

That used to be liberals.

 

yes, used to be
now they're more a rallying cry for contrived victims
these lesbos moved into an apartment near me that's basically for seniors
only small pets were said to be allowed, but they have three aggro pit bulls
the supposed argument is they're therapy dogs
and according to the people i know living there, the lesbos walk the dogs off leash (another supposed no-no) and blare their music non-stop with their windows wide open
but it's cool because libs say we need to be accepting of all types of people
just fucken sickens me
like the sudafed thing... can't make it available for people who actually need it because we have to protect tweekers from themselves
wtf ever happened to natural selection and survival of the fittest?
it's this whole participation trophy mindset that has everyone looking for an excuse
papaphrasing chris rock, "whatever happened to just plain crazy?"

 

wait, people in tennessee are racist and uneducated???
yeah thanks for the news flash
and now for the double standard...
nowhere in the article does it mention her ethnicity
what if a white state lawmaker said the same thing... think the black community might have a problem with that?
dude (or woman) would probably have to resign
and fuck this bkitches disingenuous apology, hiding behind the "we" card
your "we" didn't say something stupid, you did
same old lib story, zero accountability


Newly elected Tennessee Democrat apologizes for calling state racist
by Kerry Justich | Yahoo Lifestyle — 14 November 2018



A newly elected Democratic state lawmaker in Memphis, Tenn., is apologizing after a video online showed her calling Tennessee “racist” and Republican voters “uneducated.”

London Lamar ran uncontested in House District 91 during the Nov. 6 election. But just after she celebrated her victory, a video was posted on her Facebook page that her constituents have found troubling. While it has since been deleted, local Memphis news station WREG captured footage from the clip, which shows the representative-elect calling her home state racist.

“Tennessee’s racist. Period. Period,” Lamar said in the video. “Most of the Tennesseans who voted Republican are uneducated.”

On Tuesday, Lamar sat down with WREG and issued an apology to those who were offended by her statement. “We want to make sure we don’t overgeneralize groups of people. For that, we sincerely apologize,” she said. “What we have seen is that many of the folks who voted Republican based their judgment on racially charged rhetoric that was coming down from the White House.”

When directly asked if she believes Tennessee is racist, the Democrat said, “I think Tennessee is very polarized. And I think that we need to continue to have conversations about how Tennessee can work on behalf of everybody.”

Even after her apology, people on Twitter have expressed great disappointment.

 

this exactly
make the problem worse by using a flawed/inane attempt to fix it
and then continue to do it over and over despite the same (failed) result
einstein said there'd be days like this

Orange County, a conservative bastion, turns blue for the first time in decades
by Igor Bobic | Huffington Post — 17 November 2018

In 2016, the conservative bastion of Orange County, California, voted for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since the Great Depression. Two years later, Democrats succeeded in capturing all seven of its congressional seats ― a stunning feat in what has traditionally been a seat of Republican power that catapulted both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to the White House.

The densely populated county ― which comprises cities like Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and Huntington Beach ― has been growing more diverse and less conservative for years. But what may have harmed its GOP House representatives most was President Donald Trump and his nativist rhetoric about immigrants and penchant for controversial remarks, which alienated both minorities and college-educated women there.

“Those forces finally combined in 2018 to wipe out the GOP in what was for decades the most Republican big county in America. It is a political failure of biblical proportions,” said California Democratic strategist Garry South.

Earlier this week, Democrat Katie Porter officially ousted Rep. Mimi Walters (R-Calif.) in the state’s 45th congressional district ― the first time a Democrat has won there since it was drawn 35 years ago. Porter, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, is a progressive who supports single-payer with the backing of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Walters attempted to cast Porter as an “extreme” and a “radical” by attacking her over her ties to Warren, but the attacks never stuck.

“Orange County is the New Blue,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), who represents an area of Los Angeles, tweeted Wednesday after Porter’s race was officially called.

Meanwhile, in California’s 39th congressional district to the north, Democrat Gil Cisneros defeated Young Kim, a Republican, in the election to replace GOP Rep. Ed Royce, who did not seek re-election. Republicans invested millions behind Kim, a rising star who would have been the first Korean-American woman representative in Congress had she won. She held an early lead of several thousand votes on Election Day, but it evaporated as outstanding ballots continued to be counted there.

Democrats also succeeded in flipping districts carried by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), the infamous Russia-friendly congressman, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who led the Benghazi investigation before retiring this year.

What is stunning about the Democratic gains in Orange County, also known as the cradle of conservatism, is not just how many seats they flipped but how they did it. In the state’s 48th congressional district, for example, wealthy real estate executive Harley Rouda defeated Rohrabacher by campaigning on progressive issues like Medicare for all, tuition-free college, and a $15-an-hour federal minimum wage.

The Democratic sweep may have been foreshadowed by the retirements of longtime Republican stalwarts like Issa and Royce last year, but it took local GOP officials by surprise. Earlier this year, Orange County Republican Party Chair Fred Whitaker laughed off the notion of a blue wave in his backyard.

“They think we’re the new battleground ... It’s a Hail Mary play. It’s desperation,” Whitaker said in an interview in March.

“Let the Democrats spend tens of millions of dollars here,” he added. “Let them die on the hill in Orange County.”

sadly there is no such place
wherever you go there will always be unsavory individuals
predators rely on finding safe places to habitate with the sole intent of corrupting
like a bleeding heart looking to rally behind an idiotic cause
of course, some offer other alternatives...

There's no safe place, but some places are better than others. The farther you get from big cities, the better it generally gets.

Problem is most of those places have shitty weather and/or few good jobs.

Pomona.
Its a suburb but its pretty large.
Its mostly working poor, blacks, immigrants.
Crime, homeless, prostitution... its a ghetto.
Kids grow up knowing what people look like.
What to look out for. What is dangerous and what is not.
It is the real world.
But that is south Pomona and most Pomona.
But in the North of Pomona there are really beautiful homes that are much cheaper than anywhere else.
The neighborhoods right around there are Claremont, and La Verne which are great little college towns.
And right to the west of that Pomona are Diamond Bar and Walnut which are the road to the OC and have plenty of good tech companies due to the startups coming out of CalPoly and MtSac.
To the east and south are the industrial sprawl of Ontario and the agriculture of Chino.
Lots of major freeways to shopping centers and theaters close.
Beautiful early century craftsman homes for under 500k with large backyards and lots of tree lined neighborhoods.

Nice place to family up in the real world.

 

when there's a ghetto nearby (which is the case with most larger cities)
the criminals always go to the big city to commit their sins
although @huh? would be a great neighbor for you
he could help legitimate your, er, agricultural endeavors
and take dsp public!

 

well said
