"Calling them gay slurs and taunting, "You live in Trump country now," a drunken scooter rider attacked two Key West men who were on bicycles riding home on Duval Street early Thursday, police said."

"We were victims of a hate crime last night biking home from dinner," Kevin Paul Taylor posted on his Facebook page. "He kept stopping in front of us and swerving into us. Finally Kevin got ahead of him and the guy charges him with his scooter and runs into him and knocks him off his bike. Kevin is okay."

He threatened to "cut them up" if they called 911.

They scooter drive has not been arrested yet, but that sounds like attempted murder to me.

But… But... I thought Trump was Pro LGBTQ?

Support Our Troops.

Deport Their Loved Ones.

I had to read this a few times before I could accept this was actually happening.

This is what happens when you have an incompetent administration.

@Logan26:

My reservations about Trump aside, this is getting a bit ridiculous. He is nothing like Hitler - he isn't planning on rounding up and exterminating gays, muslims, mexicans or any other group. We should all be vigilant, yes, but also careful not to water down Nazi terminology to the point where it no longer has any impact or value.

You're the one talking about Hitler and Nazis. I just pointed out that there are similarities.

I never suggested Trump was planning on rounding up and exterminating anybody, but I think his some of his supporters are delusional and they will. There's already been a bunch of relatively minor incidents, granted, I don't think suggesting that murder or bomb threats are minor, but they are minor compared to rounding up large groups of people and gassing them to death.

@raphjd:

I am living in the UK because of illegals getting priority in the immigration queue over my now husband who went the legal route.   I moved to the UK the legal way.

Everyone: I joined this site 10 years ago, and raphjd was living in the UK then, so I really wonder if this is some new problem. As Donald J. Trump would say, in defense of his non-payment of taxes, screwing his contractors and dodging the draft: "that's smart, because I got away with it."  If raphjd and his husband didn't just come to the US illegally, doesn't that suggest he's not that bright??

But let's continue:

@raphjd:

Anyone ranting about European immigrants taking land from the native Americans, need to show that not once did native Americans take lands from anyone else. (emphasis mine)

Here raphjd is fall-on-his-own-face-stupid, because we likewise we could say: "Anyone ranting about Germany taking land from France / Poland / Austria / etc. during WWII needs to show that not once did  France, Poland, Austria, etc. take lands from anyone else." (Maybe raphjd considers WWII Germany justified in it's expansion, considering that whole Austro-Hungarian Empire thing…)

But, seriously, we need to be a little considerate of raphjd. I have it on very good authority (but I'm not supposed to say this) that raphjd is only posting crap like this because his dog thinks he's an imbecile. When we have a site where an admin is also a troll, perhaps we should just ignore all his posts? (And wish the best for his poor dog, of course).

Not sure what's going on here but I think I need some popcorn.

There really is a striking amount of similarities to what's going on compared to what happened during WWII.

@raphjd:

Why do liberals support illegals so fucking much?!

Why don't they support the people who went the legal route and got punished for it by being forced out because of another amnesty for illegals?  This is why I now live in the UK.

Why are liberals silent on how Mexico treats illegals in their country?

You live in the UK now. Okay, so you are a full blown hypocrite. I figured as much. So you're whining about things that don't even occur in the country you live in. So as the White House burns, you just fan the flames. Nice…

You still get US news/media? You know it's a fucking circus correct? We found out yesterday that Scott Pruitt is 100% completely owned by oil companies. Great Pick… Oh and Reince Priebus was trying to get James Comey to lie to the media, which got leaked to the media. Every day is leaks and Trump lies. The only one on Trump's team that has some how avoided a scandal is Pence. I had this false hope that Trump was just behaving the way he was behaving to appeal to the voters. Nope, he's a fucking idiot, who I guarantee will be remembered as being one of the worst presidents in US history.

He's been president for a month and he's spent more time golfing than reading intel reports. Dude, America is so fucking screwed it's not even funny…

Edit: Oh yeah and it's starting to look like were going to Syria. So Iraq War #3: Iraq's Neighbor Edition. Awesome…

@ocpete:

Who arrived in what became the United States in 1492?????  I know about the Mayflower and Jamestown, but both were significantly later.

The Native Americans were obviously here before 1492 … How could anybody possibly know that a native American didn't travel from Canada or Mexico to what would become the United States in 1492… Reread what you wrote...

Are you Jesus? Were you there dude?

If that's not what you were trying to say, then what are you talking about?.

@raphjd:

AND?!

I stated a fact, freak out harder snowflake. You have a vested interest in private prisons or something? Who have a major conflict of interest; why would they rehabilitate their customers?

@raphjd:

Just because you aren't at the total extreme end of the left side, doesn't mean you aren't hard left leaning. Everything you say either defends or panders to the extreme left.

I'm extremely conservative, you're more liberal than me… I haven't seen you actually say anything conservative other than your childish rants against liberals that I'm sure you feel entitled to.

Edit: I've met people like you before, you hide in some dark corner of the internet to express your feelings about how you secretly hate liberals so much that you end up marrying one. The problem isn't that you hate liberals, it's that you hate yourself.

@royalcrown89:

That "states' rights" argument is about to go right out the window because the Corrupt Racist Elf (Sessions) is going to go after the states who have legalized recreational marijuana. And since the Corrupt Racist Elf is reversing the federal government's stance on for-profit prisons, I think it's fair to say a lot of weed smokers of all ages are going to be entered into the criminal justice system to boost for-profit prison stocks. Obviously, this is what those 77,000 voters spread across Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan wanted; more prisoners in for-profit prisons instead of jobs plans to get them back to work. MAGA, right?  :blind:

I really am a conservative BTW, but the absurd corruption in the republican party is astounding… The party lures voters in with their political ideals and then just hands money to corporations as soon as they get power. Contrary to common belief, slavery is still legal in the United States, you just have to be a prisoner (the government pays for the process and incarceration.) So this makes a lot of sense to me regarding corporate profits. Take all the people who voted for legalization, throw them in prison, then make them work for next to nothing. This sounds like a great idea to invest in, if all you care about is money. It's the most evil thing I've ever heard of, but it will make money for sure.

@royalcrown89:

Just looked it up and yep, that's what happened sadly. Looks like MAGA and President Agent Orange are actually motivating crazies to commit murder against fellow American citizens.

http://time.com/4681450/kansas-gunman-shooting-race-crime/

When the leader of your country can't separate fantasy from reality, you have to know, it will just get worse.

"The gunman said he believed the men he shot were Middle Eastern, police said, but the victims were Indian engineers who worked at Garmin."

America just gets "greater" every day.

"Adam Purinton was charged with first-degree murder as well as two counts of attempted first-degree murder, a local prosecutor said. The FBI and the US attorney’s office have also joined the investigation as authorities work to determine if it was a hate crime"

Oh no, definitely wasn't a hate crime.

"Kuchibhotla, 32, was married."

"Srini was the kindest person you would meet, full of love, care and compassion for everyone," his family wrote. "He never uttered a word of hatred, a simple gossip, or a careless comment. He was brilliant, well mannered and simply an outstanding human being."

What's next? The world is 2,000 years old and flat? We all randomly pick what zombie to worship, from a story in a book some dude wrote?

"You said my post was complete nonsense, but you are admitting that Obama indeed deported A LOT of people."

You're hanging a thread there regarding what you consider mass deportations to be.

"Obama's "pathway to citizenship" was a broken campaign promise, nothing but a cheap way to get some votes. People didn't mind broken promises and mass deportations under Obama. It didn't matter that illegals were second-class citizens as long as the president was a liberal."

It was blocked by the supreme court, he did try.

"I'm sure they said the same thing when slavery was outlawed. Your farms are going out of business! Total collapse! The US farming industry will not survive without slavery! In the end, they adapted to the new reality."

Yeah, machines doing the work.

"According to statistics, less than 20% of farms employ illegal immigrants. If others can employ Americans, they can do it too."

Going to call BS. Maybe that specific statistic is accurate but that doesn't represent reality very accurately. Most farms are basically factories with very little need for people at all. No offense but, I don't think somebody is going to say "Yeah, lets have an illegal immigrant drive my $2,000,000 harvester."

"He acknowledged people's poverty and provided solutions. Not the best solutions, in my opinion, but at least he didn't ignore them."

Yeah and now he and the corporation controlled republican party are screwing them over.

"That's the opposite of what I meant."

Problem/Solution? What did you mean? America can't solve problems that it's not involved in.

"They want to go to Canada to be "safe" from Trump in a privileged white country. Helping others is not their priority. Case closed."

/eyeroll, the only part of this I agree with is "to be safe."
"Screw America, the government is crazy here, I'm going to Mexico" said no one ever.

@jbo1:

The truth hurts.

Did Obama not deport millions of people?

"As of 2015, more than 2.5 million undocumented people had been deported by immigration authorities since President Obama took office in 2009, a total which is indeed record-setting. During the two terms of his predecessor, President George W. Bush, just over 2 million people were deported."

http://www.snopes.com/obama-deported-more-people/

Was there a single major protest advocating for giving illegals full citizenship during the last administration?

Did the American populace ever go to the Mexican, Venezuelan, Colombian, Salvadorean embassies to protest their governments for not providing for their people?

Why are left-wing Americans not helping Latin American countries to get their shit together?

Why are they not compassionate when they see crime statistics?

As I said, people don't really care about the people south of the border. They use immigrants as political props to make themselves feel good about helping other people and to criticize Trump as it fits their agenda.

Right-wingers are, at least, honest about their dislike of immigrants. 

You can not be serious dude…

Democrats were in power for 8 years: No they were not… That's not how the US government works.

why did no one protest Obama's mass deportations? : People Did… Also, if you consider that "Mass Deportations" just wait... Trump is about to go "The Nuclear" on the illegals...

Why did no one demand that the US government give citizenship to all of these people who have been living in the US for a decade? : Obama wanted to … This is definitely the most ridiculous thing you said here.

This is pathological altruism. : No it isn't. I mean I guess if you are completely insane and believe what you are saying, then maybe.

Liberal Americans pretend to care about Latin Americans because it makes them feel good about themselves, but they don't really care. : An interesting opinion, that I assure you that is a massive generalization and is false.

They view us as cheap labour and political props. : Cheap labor and political props, pick a side… Conservatives view you as cheap labor, Liberals view you as political props. And I have no idea who You are ... So ... Farm owners typically employee illegal immigrants/legal immigrants to do tasks that supposedly citizens won't do. I assure you, those farmers are typically conservatives. Now that they're being ejected from the country, liberals are saying "Oh Boo Hoo, You Voted For Your Own Farm to Go out of Business."

25,000 people are murdered in Mexico every year, the government is corrupt and authoritarian but no one stands in front of the Mexican embassy to protest the Mexican government. : #1 That's the homicide rate, not the murder rate #2 Maybe it is corrupt… #3 Authoritarian is your opinion #4 Google "Mexican Embassy Protest"

Liberals need to stop romanticizing other people's poverty and struggles for their own benefit. : Romanticizing other people's poverty - See the Donald Trump Presidential campaign.

They care about this man's suicide because it makes Trump look bad, nothing else. : Donald Trump doesn't need that guy to make him look bad. The main stream media didn't even run the story, since Donald Trump making himself look bad, was more news worthy.

They don't really care about the hundreds of Mexicans, Venezuelans, Colombians, Brazilians, Salvadorans who are murdered every day. : Do you want America to come down there and take over? I'm sure Donald would love to. You do understand what the hell you are saying here, right? We had Team America World Police under Bush, do you really think America is responsible for the murder rate in those countries? It's not that nobody in America cares, it's just not our fucking country dude … I take it back, this is the most ridiculous thing you said.

During the election, no one stepped up and said "If Trump wins, I'm moving to Mexico to help struggling communities and invest in their economy". : Sure, Maybe on election day… There's plenty of activists in the country trying to help struggling communities around the world...

They wanted to go to Canada, a progressive first world country. : No, it's because they know Mexico is a shit hole compared to Canada…

–-

The truth hurts. : Oh my god, I'm so hurt. /eyeroll

Was there a single major protest advocating for giving illegals full citizenship during the last administration? : Define "Major." There's protests in America every day.

Did the American populace ever go to the Mexican, Venezuelan, Colombian, Salvadorean embassies to protest their governments for not providing for their people? : Why would Americans do that? What are you even talking about ?…

Why are left-wing Americans not helping Latin American countries to get their shit together? : Because it's not their country …

Why are they not compassionate when they see crime statistics? : /facepalm … Do you care about the crime rate in Chicago?

As I said, people don't really care about the people south of the border. They use immigrants as political props to make themselves feel good about helping other people and to criticize Trump as it fits their agenda. Okay… Currently, the liberals are the ones who want the immigrants to come into the country and illegals to stay, the republicans are the ones patting themselves on the back for throwing them out and do not care about people south of the border... You have this backwards...

Right-wingers are, at least, honest about their dislike of immigrants.  : Yeah, uh, little problem with this statement, which is called American History.

@aadam101:

Considering Trump sells booze I don't see how he can oppose it

That's exactly why he apposes it.

Thank you for posting complete nonsense. Stop getting your information from Facebook memes. I don't think you typed a single sentence that is factually accurate.

Jeff Sessions: "good people don’t smoke marijuana"

www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/23/14717638/sean-spicer-trump-marijuana-legalization

Apparently Trump is going to crack down on states that legalized marijuana for recreational use.

Sessions also 180ed on the private prisons issue, he's now for private prisons.

@beast775:

"I'm really good at killing people."  - Komrad Obama

He was referring to killing the leaders of terrorist groups using drones, do you like terrorists or something? Context matters…

The alternatives would be either do nothing, or send ground troops in. Do you disagree with the decision that was made?

Also, what does that even have to do with the thread? You do know that Obama isn't the president anymore right? You did catch that news I hope...

Edit: My "You Saw Stupid Memes on Facebook Radar" is going off. Tip: That's not a very good way to get your information...

Also, Trump tried a raid in Yemen, that went really well…

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/02/staffers-plant-alternative-facts-to-stop-trump-from-tweeting.html

This is the funniest thing I've ever read.

So his own staff is planting stories in the media so Trump has good news to read about himself …

"If there was not enough favorable coverage available, Trump’s aides would plant favorable stories in conservative media."

"And so Trump’s staff essentially outsources the job of circulating pro-Trump alternative facts to the right-wing media in order to dissuade the president from doing it himself and thereby tarnishing his brand. The president is therefore not only the subject but also the object of his own staff’s propaganda campaign."

@aadam101:

Pussy grabbing and molesting teenage boys are pretty similar.  The right has no problem with pussy grabbing because they view women as second class citizens.  They have even convinced some women that they are equal despite the fact that they think it's ok for random male "stars" to grab their pussies whenever they like.

Then as soon as someone promotes the idea of grabbing penis they play the moral card. It's pathetic.

Still, clearly not the same thing or similar other than they are both considered to be sexual assault, which is pretty broad. Your logic is like saying that stealing a candy bar is the same thing as stealing a car because they are both larceny.

Uh, Who is they?

Also, there's a few models on this site, where if they walked up to me and grabbed my junk, I would be okay with that.

Sorry, I never really understood the whole pussy grabbing thing other than the music video was hysterical and it was obviously not something that was meant to be in the public.

The issue arises when the sexual misconduct is unwanted, the way he worded what he said actually insinuated that they would allow you to… To me, this means they would be okay with it... Although, I admit, the way he sounded, he makes it seem like he is a "connoisseur." Like as if he does this all the time or something.

Edit: I always felt the government should stay the hell out of people's sex lives, there's absolutely ridiculous over-sensitivity to "sexual assault." Look, if one person is too aggressive and the other person says no, and the aggressive person keeps it up, then it's wrong. Sooner or later, if people don't stop being so over sensitive to the issue, you're going to have to ask permission for every hug and have to sign a legal document every time you have sex.

Even in the "Pussy Grabbing Context." Okay, Orange faced man walks up to you, starts making it out with you and is all over your junk, if you're participating, then you're obviously okay with it... There's this grey area now where you can be willfully participating, but it's sexual assault... That's bullshit.

As far as pedophilia, no sorry, it's always wrong. And "he slipped and did the splits on to my cock" is not going to hold up in court.
