Those states rights, small federal government democrats of the 1860s sure have a lot in common with democrats today. Platforms are almost identical!

Did Sen Byrd retire in 1860?

No but he definitely changed his tune and tried to run from his past (whether his motivation for doing so was genuine or political). You won’t hear me defending his racism.

If we are comparing current party platforms to the 1860s, the party you most closely affiliate with (whether you’re registered with them or not and whether they actually practice what they say they stand for) shows how big of a liberal you are. Republicans after all were the party of big government, social programs, etc.

KC is a lib. Who knew?

I feel bad for the federal officers. They are definitely the victims in this.

Progressives started the big gov push and they did it in both parties. FDR took it to new levels and I believe he was an elected jackass

Turns out some of these guys aren't even federal officers. They are Blackwater type guys.

The administration has hired mercenaries/private military to round up citizens.

Cities across US see night of mayhem, marked by riots, fires, vandalism, fatal shooting

The new norm.

These are organized protests complete with explosive devises provided.

How long does this go on?

Keep the feds out of this. Let them burn these cities down and let those mayors and governors deal with the fallout

This is what America will be like with Biden as president.

It doesn't matter who is President now.

Yeah, like these mayors and governors will receive any fallout.  As long as they have a D next to their name, they will be immune.

watching the videos of the, ahem, peaceful protesters in Portland trying to cut their way through the fence, I wonder what they're expecting will happen if they successfully breach the barrier.

this is all so surreal. it's like watching Gotham city before bruce Wayne went all alter-ego, and in real time.

We do realize there's more R governors than Dems, right? And a Republican president? And a Republican controlled Senate?

Just making sure.

[Blarg]

And the most fucked up, crime ridden cities and states are democratic party controlled. You do know that?

Just making sure.

He was a protester.  Video clearly shows that.

[Blarg]

He seems to have remorse for what he did 50 years ago. Probably should seek counseling for that along with how to wear a mask and socially distance himself from riot control police. 

[Tank]

If you attend a riot, you shouldn’t complain about any consequences that happen.
