    The NYPost?

    Malware?

    :roflol:

    This reminds me of Democrats who refuse to educate themselves on Obama's vast war crimes - there's always an excuse for avoiding the truth.

    Malware!

    Those gun-hating liberals have well-armed security teams.

    Plus the cops might ACTUALLY defend the homes of the rich & famous rather than standing down.

    I know a Russian Jew that came onto the country with 38 bucks in his pocket. Now he's a multi millionaire. Him and his wife worked their asses off. It's possible but some want it for nothing. That ain't reality. Those same people want to take it away from the rightful and legal owner. Most call that "theft".

    Oh,and as far as FDR. He is the racist that created ghettos that trapped blacks and are still the root of their economic problems. If that is what you call progress you can keep it.

    The federal government created inner-city ghettos with racist housing regulations

    Multiple sites are covering it. Type Hamptons in google and then select the news tab.

    From the posters, it looks like they are blaming Democrat Michael Bloomberg and the billionaire class. There are plenty of little kids in the pictures. A grand total of 200 people. Oddly not a single story I read characterized these particular protesters as "peaceful". It does not look like the group is related to AntiFa or BLM.

    The left is driving moderate voters away from the Democrat party. Keep up the good work!

    Seriously, though. "Plastic Pitchforks"?

    That sounds MAJOR.

    Hopefully, Gov. Cuomo is an early riser and has already sent in the National Guard.

    And The Hamptons? Wow.

    Found this one:

    • Size: Standard
    • Molded plastic pieces twist together
    • Measures 60" long when assembled
    Only $12.99 (plus shipping).

    Some of the signs said "Tax the Rich, Not the Poor." How ironic since that's exactly what we do. They're just too stupid to know it.

    Others say "Cancel Rent Now" as if there's some magic "Cancel Rent" button the government has. But of course the landlord charging them rent has to pay the real estate tax they want the same government to raise.

    The mob in City Hall Park was protesting to "de-fund the police" by $1 billion. So of course the Shitty Council and Shitblasio did it passing the budget yesterday. And guess what? The mob (who promised to leave when the $1 billion was taken away from the cops) is still there.

    Appeasement doesn't work. Put them all in jail.

    Ah yes Bloomberg. It was just a few months back that he had that awkward debate and tried to cover for his racist past. Nary an American did not flinch.

    Past Remarks Are Challenging for Bloomberg, and Fair Game for Rivals

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/17/us/politics/michael-bloomberg-presidential-campaign.html

    Bloomberg’s comments on redlining distort a history of racism

    #BloombergIsRacist, briefly explained

    I think we all need to examine Joe Biden's comments on racial jungles and other statements as well.

    The left is pushing the absence of law and order.

    Not even casual observers can deny it-but hardcore lefties just might, imo.

    These people may not understand a progressive tax system.

    I'd argue they wouldn't care either.

    I don't think this is the left.

    It's a coalition formed by livery in the boroughs.

    So working class liberal.

    The fascists in America back then the elites who tried to stage the coup against him called themselves fascists and were proud to do.so.

    FDR couldn't get the changes you speak of given where this nation was at that time. Just the reality of it. He picked his battles.

    Course the gains for white workers was dismantled beginning in the 80s.

    It would be cool if they did, and then HOWLED about climate change in regards to Obama's blatantly water front property and environment ravaging mansion and energy depleting huge estate.

    The DP isn't the party of FDR. No comparison..

    So what dem today wants govt to own the means of.production? Unless they move to do that it isn't.socialism.. No matter what conservatives claim. To cons the Commons is socialism...but that is false.

    And this is indeed similar to the 30s. History may not repeat but it does rhyme.

    The greed of the elites once again crashed our economy in 08 and throw in the scheme of disemboweling our workers...therein the rhyme.

    It is unsustainable. And the suffering is growing. The middle is vanishing. Our once vibrant middle here is gone and people are working poor in my area.

    Maybe Cuomo should send in this division of soldiers to counteract this pitchfork threat

    That tends to happen when a country brings in half the third world. Just wait until they get the other half in.... that is the platform the Democrats are running on. Apparently we aren't burning down our country fast enough for them.

    The New York Post isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
