otp , in Break-in reported at Trump campaign office in Virginia

Are there more instances these days of anti-right-wing crimes? It seemed like this was almost exclusively right-wing antics doing crimes against the left-wing.

How do you know thats what this is?

otp ,

I don’t. I’m asking so people more familiar might shed some light on the topic

jwelch55 ,

When you say ‘are there more instances…’ you appear to imply that this case is known clearly to be the left attacking the right.

otp ,

“more instances these days”.

I’m not asking for other examples. I’m asking if there is any sort of trend.

Just Asking Questions

Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off, or as emojis: "🤔🤔🤔"[1]) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one’s opponent; rather than laboriously having to prove that all politicians are reptoid scum, one can pull out one single odd piece of evidence and force the opponent to explain why the evidence is wrong.

otp ,

I’m not looking for an argument. If you’d like to say “No, not that I’m aware of”, then that’s perfectly fine, lol

Eldritch ,

We don’t know what this is yet. Other than a b and e. Even if this was anti right wing crime one also needs to keep in mind that they’ve made Justice against the right wing a crime as well.

When Justice becomes impossible violence becomes inevitable.

Mouselemming ,

Well, the shooter was a right-winger doing crimes against his own wing. This could be similar in that way.

otp ,

Has that been made conclusive? Last I heard, he was a registered Republican who also made a donation to a left-wing group.

He could’ve been someone on the political left who wanted to reduce Trump’s chance at being the Republican candidate by registering as Republican to vote against him.

Mouselemming ,

One old $15 donation doesn’t cancel our all the rest of his life, including the political stance he displayed at school.

To be fair though, his goal with the shooting seems to have been more about getting attention than anything else.

otp , (edited )

including the political stance he displayed at school

This is news to me; that’s why I asked about him. Last I’d read, they couldn’t find anything about his political ideologies aside from his being a registered Republican and that one political donation. Guess I’ll have to look him up again to see what’s been discovered! Lol

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, his political affiliation still seems unclear.

His donation was made the same day that President Biden was sworn into office. According to the Progressive Turnout Project, he made the donation in response to an email about “tuning into” the inauguration; he was unsubscribed from the group’s mailing list in 2022.

Aside from these details, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything new

IamSparticles , in Racism Is Why Trump Is So Popular

Is anyone surprised by this? Trump is the same guy that spent 4 years demanding to see Obama’s birth certificate because he didn’t think he was a US-born citizen. That was his first foray into “politics” and it established both his loyal base and the tone of his public discourse.

Chozo , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

Venezuela is an odd choice, considering most of his kind have historically fled to Argentina.

AreaKode ,

He… probably doesn’t know the difference at this point…

Also, Milei is the same kind of crazy he is, wheras he’s been shitting on Maduro and Vz forever.

SreudianFlip ,

You’re right, and he probably thought he was saying Argentina.

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

He’s been shitting on Maduro, but aren’t his tariffs a large part of why Maduro is in power? IIRC, his tariffs basically allowed Maduro to consolidate money and power.

TheFin ,

That’s very true

yesman , in Cancer-Causing Benzene Is Used to Make Store-Brand Cold Relief Medicine

This article should say that benzene is an ingredient in cold relief medicine. The headline as is suggests is could be a just an agent in the process. That’s a big difference.

Now tell the anti vaxxers

TheReturnOfPEB , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

Trump should fear failing Putin more than anything the USA would do.

Etterra , in 4 former officers accused of staging sham raid to extort nearly $37 million from California man

Normally I’d be in favor of squeezing millions of dollars out of some rich person, but it’s the cops doing it and I hate the cops. Can we eat both sides?

tastysnacks ,

Mmmm, cow AND pig

Very smart to say this publicly just a couple months before sentencing for 34 felony convictions.

HWK_290 ,

5 weeks until sentencing. In theory
