The reelection of Mitch McConnell as Senate GOP leader was done by secret ballot. 37 "yes" votes to 10 "no" votes. Why in secret? Don't we get the right to know who voted for or against him?
annnnnnnd logging off.
murder is murder on both sides of the political spectrum. you can try to deflect all you want. idc. to everyone else, take notes, stay safe and make sure to vote in november.
thread is officially muted.
no matter how antifa tries to spin it, they shot a man tonight at the #pdxprotest. “the man who was shot and killed was wearing a hat with the insignia of patriot prayer.” don’t @ me. y’all blasted the rally when the blood is actually on your hands.

@01000011CS @Alexander_Fooy this is one video.
there is another one of a small black car speeding through the street and then there are 3 hour videos streamed by local news showing them just driving in and out of downtown.
so, you believe what you saw and I’ll believe what I saw.
have a splendid day.
@modestlyem A quick skim of your profile shows me that we disagree on a whole lot of things.
But thanks for being the literal only other person I've seen who agrees with me that both violence and defending violence because it helps your narrative are wrong. We need to do better. ALL of us.
@kassian_tyler as stated before, my stance on Kyle is that he deserves to be arrested and tried. but clearly, you’re so deep in your hate that you’ve lost the ability to formulate anything but assumptions.
@01000011CS @Alexander_Fooy also, since we are in the business of making assumptions, based on what happened tonight, are all protestors are looking for trouble?
no of course not.
because that’s a silly.
& it applies to both sides.
they all have peacemakers and agitators.
@01000011CS @Alexander_Fooy it’s my understanding that they wanted to show support from Portland to the President — as not all citizens in the city are left leaning. it’s not illegal to do that.
should they have ran red lights. no.
did they all do that, no.
not fair to assume that all wanted trouble.
@01000011CS @Alexander_Fooy I have never condoned that behavior.
But, do realize that the counter protestors were also throwing projectiles at the trucks towards the end of the caravan.
I have not seen one person say that was not okay.
Listen closely. This was the instant of the murder in Portland.
A: "Hey! Hey, we got one right here! We got a Trumper right here!"
B: "Right here?"
<Two gunshots>
@leilot02@benjonesin @Alexander_Fooy the people who threw eggs are also the people who have thrown rocks, glass, toxic human waste and fireworks at police. they’ve literally been burning things to the ground for 90+ days, but yah, let that slide because it doesn’t fit your narrative.
also, I do not support any violence that the right may have promoted. I despise it as much as I despise the violence promoted by the left. you will never find me calling for the assault, harassment or murder of another human being. I believe in the lost art of respect.
@MrAndyNgo This from people who are constantly accusing Trump of using "dehumanizing language" and they literally don't care that a man lost his life tonight for seemingly no reason.
