They talk such complete bollocks...

A Cabinet Minister in the UK this week said that there would be riots in the streets if Brexit did not happen at the same time as Trump is saying that there will be violence in the streets if he gets impeached.

Really?

What is it with the far right and their pompous self belief that makes them conceive that people will riot on their behalf? Can someone please remind these fascist nasty totalitarian wannabees that we live in nations of laws in which the vast majority of people would never dream of rioting. Apart from anything else look at the demographics of those that voted for Trump and Brexit. Aside from a few young far right thugs most would be rioting from their mobility scooters and retirement homes.

Now don't get me wrong, I am sure there is enough poutrage out there for some to march on Washington and Westminster waving their 'MAGA' and 'Take Back Control' placards. But rioting? Such nonsense. Even the most cultisits of the cultisits have lives they live outside the political rhetoric to which they cleave with such unthinking loyalty, and they do not want to give those lives up by committing criminal offences like destruction of property or arson.

The thing about all of this is these far right democracy stealers is that they want people to riot. They want lawlessness and disorder to further their own agendas. There is literally no political gravitas or respect for the rule of law in these supposed leaders of our nations. One might suggest that they are using incitement to riot to further their own ends. Oh my!

Rioting my arse.

1. They are calling for violence and I have no doubt some will answer that call

They can't convince by logic or by numbers.
Violence and lies and cheating is all they got.

2. Of course some will - but not enough

Not nearly enough.... violence is all they have got but most people are not violent by nature. For most people, no matter your political leanings, a riot would scare the shit out of you...

and a few mall shootings, and some violence against minorities. that's more their speed.

4. Or cricket my dear chap :-)

[tblue37]

5. Does cricket also have gangs of rioting hooligans? nt

[Soph0571]

6. LOL No

Over here they would be saying about any rioter... that just isn't cricket old chap... meaning it is not done, it is not acceptable...

[tblue37]

9. Yes, I am familiar with that saying. But when you raised the issue of riots, I immediately thought

of the roving gangs of soccer fans who attend soccer matches primarily for the purpose of rioting.

I think our jokes were like ships passing in the night without making contact with each other.

10. You are right!

Once you made your comment about rioting cricketers... I thought of course. Soccer riots! Duh. Gin and Tonic night needs to start early I think!!



Aren't they special

7. I'm scared of those retired 70 year old men on Harleys terrorizing the neighborhood

like a scene out of the Wild One. There is no telling what they would do all jacked up on prunes and coffee.

11. Until they have to go get their hip replacement?!?! heh

12. Uh-huh

13. Hey, Johnny, what are ya rebelling against?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Boris is a thug, lying to the Queen, pissing on murdered candidate, disobeying law

It's natural for the right wing to think of thuggery. "Might makes right" is their motto. We see it in the USA with the quickness that Republicons resort to dirty tricks and voter suppression to get more power than they can earn by their policies and legislation.

15. Love your OP!

The rest of this thread is hilarious! Thanks for the chuckles!

17. Why thanks!!!

Let us always remember the danger of a MAGAT voter...



Hehehehe

16. Stephen Colbert announced

that Nancy Pelosi had begun impeachment proceedings, and his entire audience cheered, and gave a standing ovation. The MSM seems to only report on tRump fans, ignoring the hordes of the rest of us waiting for this nightmare to end. In always rushing to his defense, the gop makes themselves look STUPID. What are they protecting? Themselves? We know they took Russian money, and that Vlad has compromat on many of them. Where are the truly sane members of the gop, if there ARE any? Any true patriot would stand with the (D)'s to right this badly listing ship of state.
