U.S. Politics- This Is Us, Basically Fascists

Here's an update on the Portland protests. It looks like the Portland police didn't take kindly to things being thrown at people:

Quote

A Patriot Prayer rally in Portland, Oregon has culminated in a police charge on counterprotesters, as a demonstration once again brought disorder and violence to the downtown area.

Two hours into the scheduled protest, police moved towards leftwing counterprotesters with batons drawn, and used dozens of “flash bang” stun grenades and rounds containing pepper spray.

As they moved on the counterprotest, Patriot Prayer marchers chanted “lock them up, lock them up”.

...

As the Patriot Prayer group marched, protesters followed at a distance through neighbouring streets. The charge happened on Southwest Columbia Street, several blocks south of Patriot Prayer’s original rallying point. Police claimed that protesters were throwing missiles at their lines.

One journalist, Eder Campuzano, was struck in the head by a full plastic bottle, causing him to bleed from a head wound, which he said “likely came from a counterprotester”.

Judge's ruling invalidates FEC regulation allowing anonymous donations to 'dark money' groups

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/04/campaigns-dark-money-groups-donors-anonymous-ruling-762440

Quote

 

A U.S. District Court judge on Friday issued a ruling invalidating a Federal Election Commission regulation that has allowed donors to so-called dark-money groups to remain anonymous, the latest development in a years-long legal battle that could have major implications for campaign finance.

Judge Beryl A. Howell ruled the FEC's current regulation of such groups, including 501(c) 4 non-profits, fails to uphold the standard Congress intended when it required the disclosure of politically related spending.

Seriously...it's messed up that Patriot Prayer nazis started tossing missiles. From your link.

Quote

A Portland photographer, Doug Brown, said that “the first missile I saw and heard came from the Patriot Prayer side, across the street, towards the protesters”.

I wonder why they hate "labor groups, a local Democratic Socialists of America chapter, clergy, community groups" etcalong with immigrants and minorities?

Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer are literal fascist. And the cops are complicit in their fascism, and are all bastards.

Fucking Pinochet?  Right about what? When he built concentration camps where he killed and tortured leftists or the millions of dollars he siphoned off from the Chilean people during his time as dictator?

You know what?  Good.  Let Gavin McGuiness and the rest of his "proud twats" defend that.

Why would an Antifa protester attack a journalist?

Based on that article, I would guess that the two sides were throwing stuff at each other and the antifa happened to hit the journalist.

Also, in case people are curious why Pinochet was mentioned in the tweets, here's another quote from the same article:

Quote

At the conclusion of the march Patriot Prayer members claimed victory, with Gibson saying that it was an “excellent day, excellent”.

Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, who has been involved in two alleged street assaults outside protests, and who has been arrested at previous protests, told the rally that “today is a big win for America”, that “the cops did their jobs and we’re proud of them”, and that in future, “we’re still gonna come to Portland”.

Toese wore a T shirt bearing the slogan, “Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong”.

The journalist was hit after the cops attacked the protesters.

These groups have a strange love of Pinochet in particular, they feel he's their model for a right-winger suppressing left wingers. In particular, they love to tell about how Pinochet's military and torturers would fly victims out over the ocean in a helicopter and then throw them out of said copter, to either die on impact with the water or drown long before they could make it back to shore. One of their favorite things they like to talk about when the glorious right wing revolution comes and they win the race wars and yada yada yada is who they'll take for helicopter rides. See here.

Nobody threw anyting at them. They fired first. It's amazing how you still believe anything they tell you, like a good little sycophant. 

But your stance isn't shocking. You were capping for Nazis last summer as well even after they killed someone. 

Sympathizer is the perfect description.

These alt right fuckwads could be gassing jews to death and certain posters here would say those opposing them are on the same level as the genocidal scum. The cops would just keep the status quo going, which at that point would be genocide, and would attack those opposing it, and those same posters that push the false equivlances would believe what the cops said and think they are in the right.

Rand Paul is going to get his marching orders in Russia now. A 'interesting' conspiracy theory timeline:

 

June 14, 2017 Scalise was shot, Jeff Flake and Rand Paul both say police saved them from massacre at that Congressional baseball game practice shooting where someone 'left-wing' attacked the representatives.

Oct 24, 2017 Flake said he wasn't running for re-election.

Nov 5, 2017 Rand Paul had 5 ribs broken in attack by 'neighbor' over his yard in dispute

Trump: I ‘destroy' careers of Republicans who say bad things about me

Interestingly enough, three of those Republicans that Trump is against, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and Rand Paul, are all on the Foreign Relations committee. The first two are not seeking re-election.
