That sounds like a much more likely scenario.

They should have been broken up.

Very hard to watch it all unfold.

Very painful.

What a shame.

[lastchance]

Just think of what school children will be returning to when their indoctrination centers reopen.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.

Those lyrics have been running through my head a lot lately too.

[real saxophonist]

I always thought CrossFit was for faggots. I just adapt stuff from the Marines to my local area, good to go. And I’m not ripping anybody off.

[Larry Lucido]

Bring back medicine balls.

"Floyd-19."

I thought humor and levity were indispensable during these times.

[conservative98]

If George Floyd is what it takes to finally kill the Crossfit brand, the protesting could be worth it after all.

Do you think you’re better than me??????

This guy is just the next head on a pike. There will be dozens more. It’s going to make the Salem witch trials look like a day at the beach.

Sad thing? They are kissing ass and quiting over a bunch of trolls on Twitter.

[Rebelbase]

It’s go time!

There going to be many scathed for the racist pandering to hate groups like BLM and Antifa.


6 police officers were murdered by rioters last week. Ordinary Americans, unlike the professional political machine and it toadies in the Fake News, are noticing the racist behavior by both coroprate, and poltical, groups.


As usual the political Left has wildly screwed up the optics here.

This is something POTUS should talk about or at least tweet about it. You have to look around to find that fact anywhere.


SIX cops! in TWO WEEKS!

[moovova]

Thank you for that. After reading the article at your link...I’m not feeling so sympathetic for the ex-CEO.

[snarkytart]

You might be wrong. I give you 2008. White guilt put that bastard Obama in the White House.

yep.

[Bob434]

The Racist Cancel culture of the left strikes again-

[montag813]

What this guy tweeted was truly boneheaded.

CATS
SPORTS CLIPS
Politically-correct memes
"Transwomen are f**king women!!!"

that's all you can safely Tweet. Anything else is too risky.

[PghBaldy]

That and the idiot Bush who invaded the wrong country and chose an old Vice-Prez who was not going to run for Prez.

[Honest Nigerian]

White guilt and that asshole John McCain put Obama in the White House.

[Chgogal]

Why are people caving so quickly?

I am very sorry for George Floyd and his family. BUT the systemic tragedy in this country is black on black murder. How many blacks were killed by blacks since George Floyd’s murder? How many were killed by a Caucasian?

BLM is a phony Outfit and I will not kneel.

[Crucial]

You’ve got to be on the protesters side or they hate you. Even if you are silent, they hate you.

Winston Smith

from George Orwell's great book 1984.

Odd is it not that that book is 71 years old now. Orwell predicted the use of technology and media and state as one and the same with absolute precision. His vision of state control via technology was totally impossible when he wrote 1984. His vision has become reality today. Orwell was not a man of engineering nor science but oddly he precicted its use in the future relative to controlling a population

Sadly he was correct and his dystopian vision is becoming reality today. It will not be corrected without violent revolution. The right may win or the left may win. Revolution is near.
