    It's a fact, jack. In fact you can go look up the record number of filibusters during Obama''s Presidency. The more you talk the more ignorant you sound.

    If you were looking for Antifa... they are in the footnotes of the report...

    Intelligence bulletin warning of protest-related violence makes little mention of 'antifa'
    Document: Threat of "lethal violence" from "lone offenders" motivated by race.

    I wonder if we swapped the word Antifa with Agitators, would that help the conversation? I'm willing to concede there is a possibility that Antifa sat this great opportunity out and all agitators are being lumped into 'Antifa'. So, if there's an effort to fund and organize these agitators (and I apologize for offending anyone by using that word - 'agitators'). It will be interesting to see who or where the funding comes from. I'm just as interested in bringing the white supremacy groups, the Russians and the Agitators to justice. But I have hunch that the funding doesn't come from the right. Gut feeling....nothing more, nothing less. We already know who put up bail for the agitators - the left. Why the hell do you want to bail out someone who has damaged property or personally harmed someone so they can go back out and do it again? It's not in my best interest. What purpose does it serve?

    I'm not alluding to anything. I'm stating factually that Mitch McConnell set filibuster records trying to derail Obama's agenda. Jack.

    The goalpost needs to move to satisfy preexisting assumptions? How about review your assumptions?

    Funding by Soros is Conspiracy Theory stuff and is fake. If you want to claim other possible sources - like DEM or whatever, bring the evidence. Be careful with your sources. Don't become an unwilling Russian mouth piece. And maybe just consider... there ain't no funding.

    As for the bailout, maybe you are confused about funds, that have many contributors, bailing out protesters in mass, of which many weren't violence but were picked up for exceeding curfew or other minor incidents. Even PD are starting to release protesters (even rioters in some cases) and dropping charges.

    The problem is that you buy into the legitimacy of the police as a fair arbiter of the law and these "agitators" and their supporters increasingly do not. So when you cite agitators getting arrested their supporters will cite police being caught in lies and using brutal tactics over and over and over again. Police need to rebuild their credibility with us that you freely give them without any critical thinking.

    Talk about showing true colors.

    Man you have come a long way from moderate voter you claimed to be.

    You are going all in the Rights talking points.

    The black community would welcome it as seen by the demographics of the ongoing protest currently happening.

    Let me help you out here: I'm firmly on the right. I'm just looking for common ground with folks on the left. It's hard, man.

    Please change your username to Don Quixote. I see you jousting with a lot of windmills on this site. Well, actually they're trolls flipping between Clutchfans and Qanon/4chan on the other tab:

    "And now this Clutchclown wants to use logic on me, canyoubelievethat? Reading is a waste of time, amiright? Pointy-headed liberals. Hold up, be right back....now he's calling me 'jack' (how did he know my name? did he get my IP address? tyranny!) and 'ignorant'........Just mentioned Obama, now I'm seeing red, or should I say 'black'? Ha ha ha, 'black', get it?"

    Huh? So you've de-legitimized the police? We all agree there needs to be reform, or at I think we all do. It sounds like common sense. But I can't buy into this 'Evil Police' thing. Three weeks ago we were celebrating them along with other essential front line workers. But I will say power breeds corruption and the police are guilty of both.

    Serious question: What percentage of police do you believe have evil in their hearts? I'm talking about the individual police person.

    They've de-legitimized themselves by their own behavior being exposed to the public.

    Evil in their hearts? LOL

    I have said and will continue to say that it's clear about 30% of Americans are total jackasses and that figure is probably higher for police.
