I posted a comment about
I posted a comment about seeing pickups flying these flags months ago and several people told me I was full of shit. Wake up, moderate republicans! Look at what's happening to your party.
Happening?
Where have you been for the past 50 years?
Trump just exposed that which we already knew.
Point taken.
Point taken.
And on the Red Line
At 11:43 a.m., Lynne reported:
She adds this was on a train, not the platform:

A woman who tweets multiple times about racists and is anti-trump reports two "white men" being very racist. Any video or photos of this happening?

How about the LA incident? I read your Snopes and it states the motivation still isn't clear.
So, that incident is still up in the air.
The woman in LA admitted to making it up. Keep an open mind.
You mean
The hundreds of incidents of racial harassment in LA since Drumpf was coronated (not elected - implies won the vote)?
You're going to be extra fun for the next four years
aren't you?
Because
That would never happen - you know, because white males have never treated you, as a white male, in a racist and sexist way?
Oh me oh my shell you are so
Oh me oh my shell you are so intimidating! Luckily for him you didnt ram or follow him.
That's right
She employed far more self control than all the poverty and brain-damaged deplorables with FAS seem capable of.
Would you rather she torched the car with him in it? Would that make you feel good?
If so, I'm sure every business in Red State America is now hiring because Trump Magicked in the Jerbs! Maybe you should go there and enjoy the magic wealth that the Used Car Salesman in Chief has promised you?
Swirly girly speaks! She
Swirly girly speaks! She mentioned the thought of ramming the car not me... Take it up with her

Your team lost , look at the numbers , stop painting dispersions and accept that other people have other perceptions than yours of the ideal elite enlightened society.Get back to work and be productive.
Depends on which numbers you
Depends on which numbers you want to look at. More people actually voted for Clinton, so....
RAH RAH TEAM
Wow - and the high school lets you comment on blogs, or are you just mentally stuck there.
Honey, we ALL lost - and the degree to which you got duped by someone lying to you about how much he cares about your feeeeeelings will become apparent soon.
Well
Neither of the two gives a rat's ass about us, but at least one is enticing his base with empty promises while leaving our pocketbooks mostly intact, while the other is all for emptying our pocketbooks to entice her base.
Pocket books intact?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Guess who already pays for whatever Deplorostan already has?
US!
Also, you might take a look at the BENEFITS that you get from the Federal Government, including contracts, including employed people buying lunch, including rented office space, including roads and bridges, etc.
You won't have an "intact pocketbook" if you don't have a JOB because of cuts and their consequences.
Painting dispersions???
What color are dispersions?
Or did you mean casting aspersions?
Or disperson? Personally I prefer to paint datperson myself, but that's just me.
Well Actually, Dispersions Come In Many Different Colors
Adorable!
n/t
How childish
This isn't a high school football rivalry.
Are you sure?
It's exactly what it feels like.
One of the things making me most sick
Is people pretending like people who didn't vote for Trump are upset because we "lost," or "didn't get our way." or "our preferred candidate didn't get elected." Nothing about the fact that so much of the country voted for hate, or the danger of social progress being rolled back, further damage to the environment and global warming, having a right wing buffoon running foreign policy, stopping criminal justice reform. So many major issues to be concerned about but the anger is being dismissed as tantrums for "not getting our way."
And your guy is going to
And your guy is going to build a wall... and you believed it. Bwahahaha!
Look at the numbers indeed
Clinton is now ahead by about 1.5 million , looks like the final total will be around 2 million. Look at the numbers.
Know what a lunch break is?
People who WORK and are PRODUCTIVE get them.
You might know this if you understood what having a JOB is like.
Please don't use disabilities
Please don't use disabilities as an insult.
Could this be one of the
Could this be one of the protesters pretending to be Trump supporters? It's happened before and we know the dnc was involved with this kind of stuff so I keep an open mind.
To have someone do this to their car and drive around is just too coincidental.
You have got to be joking.
You have got to be joking. People were waving Confederate flags up in Arlington on Independence Day, so why are you surprised by people taping up their cars with that flag just two days after the election?
Because of the behavior of
Because of the behavior of the protesters and the fact this indeed has happened before.
The dnc paid agitators to do this kind of stuff at Trump rallies. It's not far fetched. To me it's more far fetched that someone would do this thinking this is a good idea.
I think your mistaken about the DNC and protesters
If you're referring to the video that was posted a few weeks back, the main agitator was a right-wing guy.
Craemer and Foval are not
Craemer and Foval are not republican, I can guarantee you that.
Not trying to be snarky, but
Not trying to be snarky, but yeah, no. This isn't far-fetched of an idea at all. Not by a long shot.
Confederate flags have been fluttering in the wind since Obama ran for president back in '07 (before he even got to touch the oval office) and it's only gotten worse with the behavior of far-right Republicans, Trump stoking the flames of racism and xenophobia, and this bs "PC" backlash (which was born from people feeling "oppressed" by not being able to be as awful as they please and forgetting that old phrase, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say it at all").
The behavior of the owner of this pickup is 100% consistent with our current social and political climate and like all things, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
Um, no
I'm pretty sure this person is not a democrat in hiding. Face it: a contingent of Trump supporters are bigots.
and will others face the fact
and will others face the fact that there have been admitted "plants" to cause agitation?
It seems to me everyone would prefer to ignore that fact.
I grew up in Texas where I
I grew up in Texas where I had classmates drawing confederate flags during homeroom period while claiming "Southern Rights" as a excuse, and where my mom gives me weekly reports of our, previously quiet, white neighbors who came out the woodwork with their own streaming confederate flags once Trump accepted the Republican nomination.
Your accusations of plants are both a distraction and denial of a much greater societal problem and yes, people are this horrible and they do think their actions are good ideas.
provide citations then
Patricia - you keep insisting on this as "fact". So provide facts - actual proof this has happened, and not from some right wing blog post. We've seen too many FB posts declaring that Hillary was arrested and charged, Huma fired, DNC having people assassinated to take them as reliable sources.
NYT too right wing?
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/21/us/politics/video-dnc-trump-rallies.html
Yep, you're right, every
Yep, you're right, every single one of these events is either made up or a false flag operation....
Sounds like you need to make peace with the fact that even if you ordered 'bringing back manufacturing jobs' and 'sticking it to the elites' of the Trump-diner menu, other people were ordering 'Mexicans are rapists' and 'black people are violent'. John Scalzi can help you with that.
Nope, I'm just being a
Nope, I'm just being a realist. Yes, bigots are out there and so aren't sjw's trying to make a point, rather stupidly.
See the LA incident today?
Another lie......
It happens, admit it. No one is denying the existence of bigots, etc.. this just seemed so far fetched like the fake incidents in the past.
Please post evidence of the
Please post evidence of the DNC plants causing trouble at Trump rallies. Please make it something other than the Project Veritas video, which is completely fictional and the maker of which has already been discredited in the past for other misleading and highly edited videos that fabricated and furthered his lies.
Wiki Leaks emails
Wiki Leaks emails
See Jim Creamer and that other guy Scott Foval.
Both lost their jobs - coincidence? I don't think so, you may.
Lastly, even John Podesta
Lastly, even John Podesta does not deny any of the wiki email dump.
No one does. Read them yourself. They are quite eye opening.
I know your come back; they are edited, taken out of context, etc...
I'm afraid not.
Somebody owns Assmange
He is not in Sweden standing trial, he is being sheltered.
And that does NOT come without strings.
I wouldn't trust him anymore - somebody owns him now.
Right on time
Right on time, it's Patricia, serial apologist for racists and bigots of all types. You ARE the problem.
Oh what would you do without
Oh what would you do without me???
See, you right there make assumptions. I posed a question and now you come to this conclusion.
Give it a rest. I'm not the problem you seem to think I am. And best of all, I could give a fuck what you think of me.
'merica .. ?
this country was build on racism, we all know that it never left .. but since our President is openly racist it has been brought back like never before ! this is needham , imagine how its going in the south .. Texas , Alabama and all that . its crazy enough dealing with racism on a personal level but having it displayed across the country is disgusting. You think the SS has been upping their training into preventing Presidential assassinations ? ( Fuck the FBI if your reading) just saying they should get on that .. but anyways - how attractive is a bostonian demeanor in sayyy Toronto ? Pretty cheap out there i heard ..
Growing up in Texas as a
Growing up in Texas as a Black kid was fairly easy aside from a few incidents (I talked about one above). It probably helped that I grew up outside of Houston vs. a tiny ass county in East TX, and I was insulated by living in a highly racially and ethnically diverse area.
However, my mom still lives in TX and she's let me know of incidents of racial intimidation happening in our area that we've never seen...until Trump's nomination. Now with him being president, we're in for a very bumpy ride.
Deplorable!

One of many such articles that don't overlap.
But you like your childish and insulting derision of "lesser" people for having feelings when your ilk seems to be unable to use their brains. That reflects on your anxious insecurities far more than on the legitimate concerns of others.
First thing I would say to this person:
You're not even driving an American car.
Second thing: Focus your message inward.
I wish the photographer had included the license plate number
That would be the first thing
That would be the first thing I would think about if I saw this on the road..
It's weird they didn't get the plate.
Suspicious
This would be a much more believable picture if it had included the license plate - conveniently cut off. Someone who wanted to stir up some shit could have done this to his own car, driven it up his street while having it photographed, and voila: a racial incident.
I would also imagine that in Needham, which has basically no crime, if someone were to drive down a street with signs saying, "kill, kill, kill," they would have been arrested immediately.
Oh, you want the plate number?
Here you go.
Wow!
You mean, you can take more than one picture in a given day with your phone?
Who knew?
Thank you for this
I was discussing some of the things that have been going down in regards to blatant racism after seeming legitimization of it via electing Trump with a friend, and he said that he wonders about the authenticity of some of the claims. I said that to some extent I agree, as some people just like to be assholes just to make others get all worked up and offended, and don't actually believe these things in their hearts. But I also added in that, as being two white dudes, it's pretty much part of our privilege to be able to question it, because we're not on the receiving end of it (to boot, this is one of my, if not my best friends, and he's Jewish). He agreed. When taken in that context, whether or not it's fake, the final question you have to ask yourself is whether or not it's an ok thing to do. I think the answer to that is definitively clear that it's not.
Shopping at The Barn
Tangentially related but - last night I was at The Barn in Newton, a family shoe store. I was the only customer at the time. Four or five sales guys, all white men, were standing around snickering while one (a younger guy) was counting off all the people he wants Trump to deport. All American citizens, btw. NATIVES OF THE USA. Mostly celebrities. I don't think they realized I had heard them. It was so depressing. Just the idea that this is some kind of "revenge" presidency that will result in a clean sweep to their satisfaction. I just left the shoes and walked out. I swear I don't think I ever want to walk back in there again.
This photo should be
This photo should be forwarded to the Needham police so they can run the plate numbers and interview the person who drives around in a car with 'kill kill kill' signs.
Exactly. Flags are one thing
Exactly. Flags are one thing but "Kill Kill Kill" is another.
Still too coincidental for me
