  1. Whitney Terrill, come on...you are race-baiting when you say "this is the kind of thing that leads to RIOTS".

    You also cit Black Lives Matter as if it is a thing,that sprang up as a wellspring, rather than the George Soros funded fake group that it is. Just like Indivisible. Look at their weekly web site--trust me, a bunch of snowflake soccer Moms in Prairie Village are not spending all their waking hours organizing marches and making signs to go taunt Kevin Yoder. And those Moms are NOT managing a complex web site with additional social media streams.

    George Soros funds techies doing the work behind the scenes. Probably the kids living 4 to an apartment in tax-abated subsidized lofts in the Cordish P&L district.

    If you shouted "Indivisible"--"workers raise your hands!~" while standing in the aisles at Cosentino's subsidized downtown grocery store, half the customers would show their employee name badges.

  5. Jesus, not everything is a Soros conspiracy.

    I doubt you would appreciate it if every one of your posts was called out as fake and paid for by the Koch Brothers.
