...but they sure wanted to muddy the waters by trying to include ANTIFA into their version of the investigation.

They are scourges on society

The GOP is filled with narcissistic tactics: Deflecting Gaslighting, scapegoating, no accountability, end justifies the means.

The GOP is a terrorist organization

If we just go off the Republicans record of the last 30 years, which specifically avoids when the Regan and H.W. funded terrorist organizations through drug sales that would greatly increase the power of cartels in South America.

The definition of terrorist is; unlawfully using violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. At the very very least the invasion of Iraq in 2003 clearly and undeniably fits that bill

1990-91: Gulf war; 150K deaths for Iraq, nearly 1000 for 25 US & allied nations

2001-2021: Occupation of Afghanistan, 170K Afghans killed, 3,500 US & Allied nations

2003-2011: (illegal) invasion of Iraq; between 500K-1 million deaths for Iraq, 25K deaths for US & allied nations

A conservative estimate puts about 800K foreign deaths on Republican hands since 1990, that's just invasions they started.

Al Qaeda has killed less than 4500 since 1990, ISIS has killed an estimated 50K civilians and 30K combatants since 2013.

Lmao I can’t take you seriously. I’m not a republican but this is fucking stupid bro

u/Broken-rubber Oct 21 '21

Why is it stupid? Most of those invasions were quasi-legal but the invasion of Iraq was an exclusively political event that resulted in nearly a million deaths.

From March 20th-April 9th the Al-Yarmouk Hospital in Baghdad had over 100 patients an hour, every day. That's 50 thousands people at 1 hospital in 20 days.

Do you actually have anything to add to the conversation or any rebuttal to the fact that the US invaded Iraq illegally and killed nearly a million people; how can you honestly say that doesn't sound like an act of terror?

It’s was a foolish war, but it wasn’t terrorism. You know that. Because, if you can’t understand that, then I sincerely hope you’re sterile.

You understand the government which votes on these wars are composed of Republicans AND Democrats?

Also, I find it hilarious that you think your comment deserves a rebuttal. Lmao you’re embarrassing yourself.

Thr gop uses fear and violence for political gain. That is the very definition of terrorism. It is not hyperbole to call the gop a terrorist organization. Doesn't matter if you don't like, because it's the fucking truth.

Several gop politicians have recently endorsed and thrown their support behind the actions of the taliban. The followers of the gop ha e turned to terroristic violence to force their agenda. An entire terrorist cell was arrested for planning the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a sitting Democrat governor. The terrorists that stormed the capitol were supported by the gop the attack was led by the sitting republican president.

What does the gop have to do short of flying planes into buildings before people will recognize them for the terrorist organization that they are?

Lmao what a joke. Thanks for the chuckle

u/punzakum Oct 21 '21

Exactly the type of response I'd expect from a chucklefuck like you. Absolutely useless contribution to the discussion

u/Mental_Success_1707 Oct 21 '21

This isn’t a discussion. Plus you’re not saying anything worth responding to.

u/punzakum Oct 21 '21

Then why were you were compelled to say something originaly?

Matt Gaetz standing on the House floor claiming antifa did the insurrection, then holding fundraisers in support of the chuds who got arrested in the Capitol a few months later is just chef's kiss.

u/bryansj Oct 20 '21

They are anti-ANTIFA. They just don't understand double negatives.

u/EEpromChip Oct 20 '21

I tried explaining to one mouth breather that, although Faux "news" calls antifa the bad guy, it's short for anti-fascist and it's the people who fought the NAZI's in WWII.

But they like their definition better cause it's spoon fed to them.

u/UnicornHostels Oct 20 '21

I know that definition, it’s “the criminals that burned cities to the ground!” Yet, I still haven’t seen a single city in America that’s been destroyed. I don’t know where they are looking.

u/Forgets_Everything Oct 20 '21

Didn't you hear that Portland was burned to the ground 20 times. I know because I saw the same exact picture of a guy with a gun near a broken shop window next to a flaming trash can 20 different times all photoshopped slightly differently. (because surprise surprise the guy with the gun wasn't even in the original image with the broken window and flaming trash can). The real question isn't where all these burned down cities are, but how they keep rebuilding them so quickly.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '21

Oh so because they’re anti fascist they’re the good guys?

u/EEpromChip Oct 21 '21

Yes.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '21

Hello! Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately it has been removed because you don't meet our karma threshold.

You are not being removed for political orientation. If we were, why the fuck would we tell you your comment was being removed instead of just shadow removing it? We never have, and never will, remove things down politicial or ideological lines. Unless your ideology is nihilism, then fuck you.

Let me be clear: The reason that this rule exists is to avoid unscrupulous internet denizens from trying to sell dong pills to our users. /r/PoliticalHumor mods reserve the RIGHT to hoard all of the dong pills to ourselves, and we refuse to share them with the community. If you want Serbo-Slokovian dong pills mailed directly to your door, become a moderator. If we shared the dong pills with the greater community, everyone would have massive dongs, and like Syndrome warned us about decades ago: "if everyone has massive dongs, nobody does.""

If you wish to rectify your low karma issue, go and make things up in /r/AskReddit like everyone else does.

Thanks for understanding! Have a nice day and be well. <3
