Democrat State Rep. Erica Thomas encountered an angry Democrat while breaking the rules at her local Publix store, as she exceeded the limit of 10 items at the express aisle while shopping with her 9-year-old daughter. Thomas' excuse for breaking the rules was that she's nine months pregnant.
When Erica got home, she made an emotional Facebook video to reveal her experience with the racist "white man" who was using his "white privilege" to bully her. The Georgia State Representative claimed that during their confrontation, the white man told her to "go back to where you came from." Thomas was clearly attempting to tie his alleged insult to President Trump, who recently used the same line when discussing the four anti-American freshmen congresswomen.

Erica Thomas got a big surprise when she went back to Publix the next day to give an interview with the local news station about the hate crime against her, when the person she accused of telling her to "go back" to where she "came from," appeared to tell his side of the story.

As it turns out, the "white man," is Eric Sparkes, a Cuban-American who's also a Trump-hating Democrat. Sparkes recently called out President Trump for telling the four Democrat lawmakers if they don't like it in America, they should "go back to where you came from."

The tearful viral video of the Jussie Smollet of Georgia can still be found on her Facebook page. The tweets supporting her by Democrat lawmakers also remain, with the hashtag #IStandWithErica, even though she's retracted her accusation against Sparkes. In the end, it's never about the truth with Democrats, it's about pushing a certain narrative. To hell with the truth...

Democrats BAD.

Yeah but it is like you have to be in the bubble to understand why. And I am supposed to care about some random state Rep's facebook page or twitter account? I mean presuming that story is even accurately being told.

The concept of "using white privilege to bully someone" is an interesting one.

Yeah I am not really sure how I would do that.

Extremes?

Yes.  The far left is generally pro-immigration whether it's legal or illegal-- for example they commonly brand people concerned about border security, illegal immigration, etc. as "anti-immigrant".

QuoteThis has become the standard issue of the American Right.  It's what the President wants, and frankly, it's what Republicans have wanted for years.

Can you explain that a little further?

This crucial story actually made The New York Times.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Jesus Christ.

See what is the point of gatekeepers if they are just going to report the stupid shit on social media as news anyway?

It's an elected official saying something dumb which is emblematic of a larger societal trend.  That's newsworthy.

I guess. But we are talking some minor state senator. If we had a news story everytime some state assembly representative or mayor or city council member someplace did or said something stupid that would be the entirety of the news.

It should be news in Georgia.  Not sure it needs to be in the national media or the NY media.

QuoteIt might be long, but it is worth reading.....


Civil War... How do civil wars happen?

Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can't settle the question through elections
because they don't even agree that elections are how you decide who's in charge. That's the basic issue here.

Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a
country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.

The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an
election. We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this. The first time a Republican president
was elected this century, they said he didn't really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There's a
pattern here.

What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don't
accept the results of any election that they don't win. It means they don't believe that transfers of power in this
country are determined by elections. -- That's a civil war.

There's no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity base-
ball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.

This isn't dissent. It's not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they're the worst thing that
ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject
the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship... Your very own dictatorship.

The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans
exercise power, it's inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did
they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal
judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can't scratch his own back without his say so,
that's the civil war.

Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that's not the system that runs this country. The
Democrat's system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country. If the
Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own
amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He's a dictator.
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can't do anything. He isn't even allowed to
undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has 'discretion'
to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn't even have the 'discretion' to reverse
him. That's how the game is played That's how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn't yet won that
particular fight.

When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren't even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republi-
can is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn't allowed to go to
the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an
independent republic and sign treaties with other countries. The Constitution has something to say about that.
Whether it's Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country.
If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving
dictatorship.

Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like
medieval guilds. You can't serve in if you're not a member. If you haven't been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If
you aren't in the club. And Trump isn't in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren't in the club with him.
Now we're seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them
and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down. That's not a free country.

It's not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an 'insurance policy' against Trump winning the
election. It's not a free country when Obama officials engage in the massive unmasking of the opposition. It's not a free
country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him
from social media. It's not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the
guy who wasn't supposed to win did.

Have no doubt, we're in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional
government.
