Misguided, yes. Domestic terrorists, a bit of a stretch.

Edit
Just want to make it clear, while I don't approve of anyone not caring about the BLM riots and looting, I in no shape or way referred to them as domestic terrorists.

No I don't think you did.

I did. And to be clear, not all BLM protesters fit into that category. The organization as a whole is problematic in my opinion, but for very different reasons than that.

That being said, I would personally consider many of the actions at their events to be acts of domestic terrorism. Those that committed them would therefore be domestic terrorists.

P.S just jokes. Please don't try to run me off the road.

Apparently we're referring to two different groups of people. I'm talking about people who don't seem to mind BLM protests turning into riots and looting. If I'm not mistaken, you're referring to the actual rioters and looters.
Yes your group could be considered domestic terrorists in my opinion.
No, the people I'm referring to shouldn't be considered domestic terrorists, just horribly misguided in my opinion.

Ahhh. Yes.

ETA: That was what my initial comment on this was. I was saying that those rioters and looters don't really seem like the collector types.

the trump guys in trucks blocking highways and almost causing accidents are idiots. the blm protestors blocking highways and throwing things at cops are idiots. dems canceling everyone for anything they don't agree with are idiots. all side have them.

but that said, in cities across the country business are being boarded up and they are bracing for protests, possible violence and looting. are they doing this in case biden wins? i think one sides temper tantrums are a lot worse.

It is ridiculous to even bring up that there would be a republican lead effort to loot and riot. Look at the record of who does this and where it takes place.

Better boycott all of your building suppliers. Better yet... just burn your house down. I can assure you that contractors and building suppliers lean Republican.

Well, people have been known to riot and burn things when their team wins a championship. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I had to fire the dude who just called me at 7 PM on a Sunday. I’m in the process of testing out my duct taped pitchfork apparatus, so watch the F out. Libs ain’t ready for this.

A little late and totally off topic, but Happy Halloween, MFers. I’d post this elsewhere but this is the only thread where I’m acknowledged.

Google say Jason Voorhees is 6'5. Hmm

The hardwood floor looks nice.

Yeah... I can tell you first hand that building contractors and suppliers are loving having to pay over double for lumber these last few months.

Not sure what point you are trying to make but virtually all business owners prefer a Republican leadership. Housing market is the best it has been in years despite the pandemic and the economy in general was booming before covid.

Why are they eating the cost? Any contractor not considering material pricing as part of their bid process is not doing it right.

Your new house will cost more to build, but money is almost free now. Crazy times.

Google is an agency of the liberal fakenews agenda, so it’s only natural that they lie once again. Jason is actually 5’11” per his doctor #trustsciencenotliberals

They’re not. Irrelevant post. Contractors lean right. Suppliers lean right. I’ve been in/around the industry my entire life. This is really a waste of time to even argue about. It wasn’t a controversial statement. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the boycott... hardly exciting stuff worth challenging. Y’all never disappoint, tho.

DegaBama · 11-01-2020, 09:18 PM

After months of info, I landed on Biden winning the election. I just dont see a path that Trump wins. It's close but not good enough.

He needs to sweep the Midwest basically. If he steals Nevada while keeping Arizona, that could make things interesting, late.
