    What I am interested in is How Many Flags/Banners/+ How Many People possessing them. Also, are the Flags/Signs Hand Made? The pic you posted displayed 1 Flag/1Person. The general Trump Protests over the last 4 years displayed Factory Made Signs being held by People that are being Paid to wave them around. George Soros Paid in most cases. The Protests ACROSS the U.S. over the past weekend showcased Hand Made Signs. The overwhelming majority of these signs were scrawled on pieces of cardboard. This was even on display in Huntington Beach, Ca. True Volunteer Grass Roots Support from Coast-To-Coast.

You've been busted Storing. No excuses. You really are a knuckle dragger.

   I thank you for posting the pic, and You immediately slander me as a "knuckle dragger". Such is the Irrational state of a Hater.

Cuomo — the younger brother of Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo — claims that people use the name Fredo “as an Italian aspersion,” declaring, “It’s like the ‘N word’ for us.”


So you don't believe him?

Quote
Nope, that's wop, dago or guinea. If it's a slur, why did pc-obsessed CNN and MSNBC use the very same word to denigrate Don Trump Jr? And please don't tell me that it's a word that only Italians can use to refer to other Italians. We've had enough of that double standard nonsense with n****r.

You think the only ethnic slurs toward an Italian are wop, dago or guinea? You don't get out much.

CNN called Don Drumpf Jr. Fredo? Who cares? They weren't using it correctly as an ethnic slur then. You don't know the definition of an ethnic slur, do you?

Ethnic Slur - definition: "An aspersion on someone's race or language."

How does "Fredo" not qualify as an ethnic slur?

Quote
No, only leftists do that, and I'm not a leftist. It's not conservatives calling Clarence Thomas or the Surgeon General an Uncle Tom.

Conservatives aren't racist???  ::)

Quote
Well, no. The First Amendment does. It trumps their hurt feelings. What if I said that from now on, the only people who can use the term "redneck" or "hillbilly" are poor Southern whites? Would you be cool with that?

By that logic, then the 1st Amendment allows you to call Italians wop, dago and guinea with impunity. Fill your boots. But don't blame me if a hot-headed Italian gets in your face when you call him Fredo even after you explain to him that it is better than wop. And the terms "redneck" or "hillbilly" are slurs, but they aren't ethnic, comprende?

You sound surprised that White Supremacists are a major part of Drumpf's base. He claims they are "very fine people" who shout Nazi slogans: "Blood and Soil" and "Jews will not replace us". Shirley you knew that Royell.

The President should be some one who tries to keep the country together, but this Bozo seems determined, for his own political ends, to divide the people. He is a disgrace to the office. but then that's why his believers follow him.

To be fair Ray, I saw that pic too but maybe there is more to it.

There is. It was held by Trump hater at a Bernie Sanders rally in Utah. Why do research when you can go right into hate mode?

Why? Because he says so? His is decidedly a minority opinion.

No, but they're much more offensive than Fredo.

Quote

People who hate hypocrisy?

Like porn, I know it when I see it.

How does "Fredo" not qualify as an ethnic slur?

Because it's a euphemism for "stupid."

Liberals aren't???

It does. "Hate" speech is free speech. Why do you think that "God Hates Fags" protesters haven't been arrested?

Quote

True, fear of reprisal is why most people refrain from slurs.

Right. They're just racist.

The jerk will never accept anything negative about Trump and his ilk, even when it is staring him in the face.

It's all the democrats faulty anyway, don't you know.....  :D
