Time to bring out Sandow Birk's The Great War of the California paintings again?

(Though the paintings are more about a war between corporate LA and progressive SF ... ah, the early 2000s ... a simpler time.)

Cool. Does this also apply for Confederate flags, considering it stood for armed insurrection against the United States?

I expect this is all according to plan on part of the Trumpists.

You just know a bunch of them, especially Trump, are itching to get the order to shoot.

 Yes, I fear the worst is soon going to happen.

I don't think we are going to see law enforcement taking a knee to calm the crowd this time.

Interesting that he would sooner defend LA than the Capitol.

It should apply all flags, including the American flag.

Defend or occupy?

I think he is more interested in *punishing* LA than defending the Capitol.

Terry Moran of abc news posted (and later deleted) this:



Which prompted the White House to lash out:







Which led to abc to take action:



Regardless of what you think of the original post - FOX folks have said worse on social media and on air, but regularly get away with it.

It reminds me of a larger problem with the media: progressives continue to play democracy while the fascists do not. I think this applies to the US and the UK not to mention Hungary.

What I mean is more or less this:

There is a right-wing government:
Right of centre media: praise, careful analysis of pros and
at best very subdued criticism.
Centre and left of centre media: varying degree of criticism based on analysing the merits and disadvantages of the policy in question.

Left of centre government:
Right of centre media: constant and unrelenting criticism

Centre and left of centre media: varying degree of criticism based on analysing the merits and disadvantages of the policy in question.
