over 90%?

according to whom?

put up or shut up

here, lobs...maybe there is a more recent study that you can cite, but it appears that nobody really knows for sure who is predominately responsible for the violence

What happened to a Trader Joe's in Seattle last night?

Thugs being thugs.

How do we know they are antifa? Did they do anything violent?

I'm just blown away from the horror taking place in the video! OMG!!!!!!
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN SEATTLE LAST NIGHT!!!!!! EEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

First off, how the heck did Walrus/Lobster even find this video? Less than 700 views so clearly it's not too popular.
Second, if the people who "stormed" the Trader Joe's are "thugs" in the eyes and mind of Walrus/Lobster, then I can't help but wonder if Walrus/Lobster suffers from..... Thugisits?
Third, if those who "stormed" the Trader Joe's are being labeled as being "ANTIFA", then I have a lot less fear of "ANTIFA" folks like them than I do the American government.

Some/many people claim ANTIFA is a "hate group". Maybe so but I am proud to say I am anti-fascist. Does that make me an ANTIFA "thug" too?

I kept waiting for something bad to happen. That looked like a peaceful protest with only minor disruption to a business. Now, if the vandalized things i would feel differently. But just marching and saying things on a megaphone seems about as peaceful as it gets.

I am anti-facist as well. And black lives matter....but don't support any of the violence/destruction people do under the guise of those causes.

Except for that this is private property and most businesses do not want people forcing open their doors and speaking some nonsense about systemic racism while disturbing the customers. Some of you have obviously never owned a business or worked in the free market. Protests should be done on public property or at least outside a private business.

Lobs. Lobs. Lobs. Systemic racism isn't a wild assed guess. Or outlandish theory. Maybe if your boy hadn't killed Lincoln protecting private property in the South we would have had a century and a half of prosperity for Black Americans.

This is 2020, not the 1800s. Things have changed a lot since then.

John Wilkes Lobster set civil rights back for 150-years.

So it's all because of John Wilkes Booth? Lincoln was the only person who could have saved us from our country's disgusting/horrific past (and continued) racial injustices/oppression/violence/etc.?

Unfortunately A LOT more white people than that have been complicit directly or indirectly in creating the systemic racism in our country. And it was going to take A LOT more than just Abraham Lincoln to avoid the path our country decided to take/has taken/is taking.

The truth is, America is one of the least, maybe the least, racist country in the world. There are a lot of countries that do not let anyone and everyone come into their country. We are melting pot of everything. That is the irony of all these people calling America "systemically racist." It's a joke!

I'll remember that when people cite the 18th century Constitution as to why they should be allowed to own AR-15s.

I dont give a fuck how we compare to other countries (in your opinion). Our nation doesn't fully treat everyone equally and will not live up to the Constitution that defines us as a nation until we do so.

Politics Board POTY. Or at least POTD.

Donald Trump came at Steve Schmidt (founder of Lincoln Project) on Twitter this morning.
This was Schmidt's reply:

"You’ve never beaten me at anything.
This is our first dance. Did you like, Covita? We are so much better at this than your team of crooks, wife beaters, degenerates, weirdos and losers. You are losing.
We heard you loved Evita. You saw it so many times. Where will you live out your years in disgrace? Will you buy Jeffrey Epstein’s island? One last extra special deal from him? Or will you be drooling on yourself in a suite at Walter Reed? Maybe you will be in prison? I bet you fear that.
The Manhattan District Attorney may not be around to cover for you or your crooked kids anymore. Eliza Orlins doesn’t believe in different sets of rules for the Trumps. What about the State Attorney General? You know what you’ve done.
Oh, Donald. Who do you owe almost $500 million in personally guaranteed loans to? It's all coming down. You think you and your disgusting family are going to be in deal-flow next year? Are you really that delusional?
You are lucky Chris Wallace interrupted you after Joe Biden said you weren’t smart. You started to melt down. That’s the place that hurts the most. Right? Fred Sr., knew it. You’ve spent your whole life proving it. You aren’t very smart. You couldn’t take the SAT on your own. What was the real score? 970? We both know you know.
Are the steroids wearing off? Is the euphoria fading? Do you feel foggy? Tired? Do you ache? How is the breathing? Hmmm. Are you watching TV today? We will have some nice surprises for you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are a joke. A splendid moron turned deadly clown.
Did you watch Martha McSally in her debate against American hero, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly? She is so embarrassed by you. She is ashamed and full of self-loathing for the choice she made in following you over the cliff. She is in free fall now. She will lose, like most of them, because of you.
We hear from the White House and the campaign everyday. They are betraying you. They are looking to get out alive and salvage careers and their names. It’s Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner vs. Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the inside. They are at war over scraps and who gets to command what will be the remnants of your rancid cult.
It’s almost over now. You are the greatest failure in American history. You are the worst president in American history. Disgrace will always precede your name. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up ashamed of their names.
One day, I suppose there will be some small and not-much-visited library that bears your name. It will be the type of place where a drunk walks by, staring at the wall for a minute, before deciding it is beneath his dignity to piss on. That’s what is waiting for you.
Joe Biden is a better man. He’s smarter. He’s winning. Do you remember when you didn’t want to name Donald Trump Jr., Donald because you were worried about him being a loser named Donald? You were right about that. He is. But it is you who will be remembered as America’s greatest loser. You will be crushed in the election.
Shhhhhhhh."

Holy smokes

Beautiful. Digital artwork.

It was epic indeed, but for all the wrong reasons.

This ain’t good.

It's just fine. He's out of the hospital. The guy probably has 900 other health issues that should have been and probably were addressed while he was in the hospital.
