The “M” word has not been mentioned. I hear we lost Black Friday. Not sure why. Looting I guess. Amazon gets it. It’s now “Cyber Friday”. Safe. Secure.

More like weak snowflakes that can't find success and so they blame someone else. Racism and victimization, without those the democrats have no platform.

You wouldn't know because you only know what you're told to know by Trump.
That's universal among Trump Republicans, even to the point where the official party platform is, in fact, verbatim "whatever Trump wants".
You and your own party HAVE no actual platform, except as it is spoken out of the mouth of Donald Trump.
So, given the bankruptcy of your own party, no rational person would expect you to know anything about another party's platform, because you're told BY Trump to believe that any other party that is not with him are all America haters, communists, spies, criminals, terrorists, and above all, not actually human.
That IS YOUR party's perception of ALL outside the party, verbatim.

You want to talk about weakness, there it is, writ large, an entire segment of the population of a free democracy daring to have the gall to suggest that democracy itself is treason, that dissent is treason, that anything outside of the mind and mouth of Donald J. Trump is treason.
You cannot deny it because it was put into writing at the RNC Convention.

And it is, all of it, the most despicably unamerican act that could possibly be imagined.
And you obey without question, without critical thinking, without conscience or even the slightest awareness or realization that the only times humanity has ever behaved in such a fashion are those times in recorded history which are collectively acknowledged as times in which the most horrific acts of genocide have ever been visited upon from within a society, against its own people.
Rwanda comes to mind most recently.

The only tools in your toolbox are deflection, projection, and genocide, and that latter is currently being practiced as a pandemic-driven pogrom of political cleansing by your leader, as he lies through his teeth about it on tape.

I don't think ANY of you are even fractionally aware of just how outnumbered you are at this moment in time.

Lol, coming from a Liberal, who did NOTHING but spread lies, false accusations, inuendos, and outright lies about the hilarious "Trump Collusion Delusion" for 3 and 1/2 years. And the idiots, even to this day, will foster this utterly insidious lie, only to undermine our President.....treasonous, imo. Americans don't back Losers.

Yes, as opposed to the right wing view that... what, everybody did something? Everybody did everything? Nobody did something?

Because this is a day of remembrance for the 3,000 people that died.

Besides, Trump has killed more Americans on US soil than Muslim terrorists.

You must have missed this...

Four years later, Republican senators admit, "yes, Trump conspired with the Russians"

You should have received instructions to say "Yes, he did conspire with the Russians but it's (A) no big deal and (B) nobody really cares."

Try to keep up.
We're gonna do "I don't take responsibility for anything" next.

What is 9-11 about for you? Remembrance or making some political point?

Why don’t we call the Oklahoma City Bombing a WHITE PEOPLE’s attack?

There is a reason for not mentioning Muslim, or any of the terrorists specifically.

Because doing so effectively acknowledges and validates them. And that may encourage or embolden those of a similar mindset.

This practice of not specifically mentioning an attacker had been going on for a while.

People are stupid, but not THAT stupid.

They know the religious background of the individuals who massacred 3,000 Americans on that day.

So there is no need to hurt anybody's feelings by mentioning the name of the criminals' religion.

In fact, I suspect that as the United States of America's population profile continues its relentless change (including religious affiliations), schoolchildren may eventually no longer be taught about 9/11. And it will no longer even be mentioned by the super woke media that is fast becoming as monolithic as the media in, say, China.

Why not remember ALL of the actual facts. It WAS muslim terrorist that killed 3000 Americans.

And it was white Christian terrorists that committed the systematic genocide of the native Americans. Why don't we insist on remembering that?

You guys, how come the MSM isn't talking about how 9/11 happened almost entirely in Democrat-controlled cities? Why is the media trying to blame Trump when its clearly these Democrat mayors who are to blame.
