Masked marchers representing the white nationalist and fascist group Patriot Front arrived in Washington, D.C. on Saturday amid celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. Part of the group was seen boarding the Eastern Market Metro stop heading toward the National Mall.

Per your article..
“One political site commented, "About 100 Patriot Front nazis showed up near the Mall in DC this morning, marched around aimlessly for about half an hour, got virtually no attention, then got on the Metro and went home..."”

The nazis I know of are those infiltrating the democratic party....
like Zohran Manddani and the recent elected same ilk.

Don’t care what you had for breakfast Bill, but take a clue from Senator Fetterman and his concerns the Democratic Party is going full nazi.
At least you have one democrat who is concerned with the direction your party is headed.

Ah, the paid protesters nonsense. Yes, in a world where the government can barely conspire to fill potholes, we have paid protesters, for which there's no evidence.

I went to six protests last year (first ones of my life, which is north of a half century). I've voted for both parties, for write-ins, and remain unaffiliated.

I wasn't paid.

None of my friends that went were paid.

Nobody I met at them were paid. Everyone was making fun of the notion and laughing about it, actually.

It is so patently absurd a claim, on its surface...and there's not a shred of evidence of any payments.

And yet… here we are again.

Democratic protestors are obviously paid by Democrats, even though Democrat protestors, including me, were never paid, never even offered to be paid, and know no one else who was paid

Patriot Front Nazis are obviously paid by Democrat Nazis, just like Charlottesville Nazis were paid by Democrat Nazis.

And the arguments were even advanced that J6 Nazis were really Democrat Nazis in drag.

Antifa!

What kind of squirrel cages exist in the brains of those who actually come up with this stuff?

And to answer that question we must shine a light on the right wing propaganda machine that generates this horseshit by the ton and shoots it out with a firehose.

Can they even hear the words they speak? Have they even lost the ability to recognize their own pure nonsense?

How does it feel to have Jessie Watterr’ hand up their butts and moving their lips?

There are still a couple of same democrats.

But only a couple. Here’s one:
Dana Bash: There is Darializa Avila Chevalier, she was a PhD candidate at Columbia, an organizer, she called for the abolition of prisons, open borders, end to deportations, even of people convicted of violent crimes. She attended a pro-Palestinian rally on October 8th, 2023. Um, a rally that reportedly featured some real antisemitic rhetoric justifying the attack. How do you feel as a Democrat about someone with those views being in the United States Congress?

Governor Shapiro: Well, her district voted for her. But I have profound differences from that particular candidate, based on the citations that you read there. And she's not someone who, you know, seemingly, I would agree with on many things, or that we share similar values. She ran on the Democratic ticket, I guess as a socialist, her voters in that district determined that she was the one they wanted representing (them.)

Dana Bash: What does that tell you about your party?

Governor Shapiro: I think that what our party has to go through, that will be very healthy, and something that we've not really done since the 1992 elections, is to have a battle over what we believe in.


Chevalier and her ilk are winning elections nationwide on the backs of anti-semitism and outright communism. This is the future of your party at current course and speed.

I warned you people years ago you out a saddle on a tiger. You didn’t listen.

I understand that it sucks, that all these bedtime stories liberals tell themselves at night to make their wretched policies and overall dim view of their fellow Americans workable are complete bunkum but that’s not my problem.

The little d’s need some serious soul-searching, as Shapiro points out.

Will you cement the red-green alliance, go full bore anti Jooooos while espousing communist principles? Right now that looks like the leading horse in the race.

What’s going to be amusing is watching this board go from claiming to not be a bunch of communists to…supporting a bunch of communists.

Now say your catchphrase.

and lies about Haitian immigrants and lies about Obamas birth certificate and nazi salutes and "I love Hitler & genocide" groups chats on and on...

Donald Trump was endorsed twice by former KKK leader David Duke and by the "Crusader" the official newspaper of the KKK!

Governor Shapiro: I think that what our party has to go through, that will be very healthy, and something that we've not really done since the 1992 elections, is to have a battle over what we believe in.

And he's absolutely correct.

Parties are made up of human beings. And human beings, being human, are prone to all sorts of nonsense... including Democrats.

Hopefully, we will not fall into the same trap Republicans fell into- being captured by the crazy, fear driven wing.

Indications are that Democratic socialists will win a few seats. Given the absolute insanity of the Republican Party and its authoritarian rule, and given the increased economic disenfranchisement that ultra-wealthy technocrats have imposed upon the working class through their Republican proxies in the Congress, the White House and Supreme Court, I'm surprised that there aren't more Democratic Socialists, but politics is always local... and the voting patterns in one area do not necessarily reflect the voting patterns or sentiments in another area.

"Democratic socialism" is one voice at the larger Democratic table. It's a needed voice, and it speaks to issues that Corporate Democrats have ignored for too long.

But it's a long way from being "a voice at the table" to being "the only voice at the table"

Do you see the distinction? It's an important one. You see...... we're still committed to democracy.

Republicans seem to have abandoned it.

No. That's the allegation, made by the likes of Kash Patel and Todd Blanche. You comfortable with that?

Kash and Todd, after less than a year and a half, already have a long history of introducing "allegations" that are shredded when seen in the light of a courtroom.

Given the history of their allegations, I'll label them "horseshit" until proven otherwise.

I propose paying a company to make AirTags or similar, with a picture of Trump emblazoned in gold on them, to be handed out to all these masked patriots, who wud doubtless stuff them in their pants pockets and take them home as special souvenirs. Then, at the appropriate moment, dox them bigly bigly so they can learn how society works.

Like this guy:

White Man Loses Job After Making Racist Statements In Viral Video

A Georgia man was fired from his job after he was caught on video making racist statements at a gas station.

On Tuesday (August 27), a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, showed a white man wearing a Black shirt and sunglasses making racist statements to an individual recording the interaction at a QT gas station.

“Go back to your own f***ing country,” the man stated.
“What did you say? Say that again,” the person recording responded.
“I said go back to your own country,” the man repeated.

After making the racist statements, the man appeared to get into a work truck and leave the station. The video caught a clear view of the company truck's name, logo, phone number, and license plates.

It's unclear what unfolded before or after the 15-second clip. The Chamblee, Georgia-based company labeled on the truck, Buckhead Landscape and Design, quickly responded to the video after it garnered thousands of views.

In a statement on Tuesday, Buckhead Landscape and Design confirmed that the man seen in the video was no longer employed with the company.

Third: The left has made a cottage industry of doxxing people. Yet none of these guys ever are. Wonder why.

Per Dope1:
Third: The left has made a cottage industry of doxxing people. Yet none of these guys ever are. Wonder why.

Poor Dope1, always the victim. Must be a hard life always being the victim.

So I asked Claude AI whether doxxing victims came from the left or right of the political spectrum.

This was the Claude AI response:

What the research does show:

•Doxxing is used as a tactic by both left and right groups, often against each other. Left-leaning activists (e.g., antifa) have doxxed people sympathetic to white supremacist or fascist ideas , while right-wing users have discussed doxxing journalists, activist leaders, and university faculty perceived as liberal .

•Police have been doxxed from both directions too — by grassroots anti-authoritarian groups on the left and by libertarian right-wing individuals during protests like Canada’s 2022 Freedom Convoy .

•One large quantitative study of nearly 500 doxxing cases found the practice is mostly not political at all: the average victim was 21, 80% were male, and only about 1.1% of cases had a clearly political motivation  — most doxxing is driven by personal disputes, harassment, or online feuds unrelated to ideology.

•Recent high-profile cases cut both ways: after Charlie Kirk’s death in 2025, critics and faculty who had posted about him were doxxed on a site listing their names and employers , while separately, thousands of critics of Israel, many students, were listed on a different doxxing site  in 2024.

Bottom line: there’s no solid, comprehensive dataset showing one political side is disproportionately victimized — doxxing tends to be issue- and moment-specific, with each side targeting the other during flashpoints, and most doxxing overall isn’t politically motivated at all.


That was easy. Now you no longer need to wonder why.

Oh mi god! Shades of Jedi. Dope's slowly becoming Jedi.


And this: Chevalier and her ilk are winning elections nationwide on the backs of anti-semitism and outright communism.

Where is there any communism? Marxist communism is stateless, classless and has never existed. Some people point to the short period of time in the Soviet Union when there was no private ownership of property as Communism, and when they allowed some ownership of private property as Socialism. Every "Socialist" dictator has their own version of socialism, but there are plenty more versions of it. There are some countries that call themselves communist, but they aren't, and everyone one of them seems to break down into some type of totalitarian state. Touring Vietnam I got to see the old hammer and sickle in the downtown areas. It was not fun to hear, "every morning the Vietcong wake up go kill Americans" as pert of the tour for the underground tunnel system.

I don't agree with them (DS) and the ideology, but they are welcome to the Democratic party and to influence the ultimate platform and direction we take. The majority of Democrats are centrist and they'll have to take us into account at the convention. I admire the social democracies in Europe. Trump laments there aren't more Norwegians migrating to the US. Why would they? They have it better in Norway, so there's no incentive.

So the right is now being ordered to brand us all as Marxist godless Muslim communists who want to take over the US and install Sharia law.

Since January 2025, the federal government has taken stakes in a number of private companies such as 10% in both Intel and MP Materials, shares of several quantum computing companies, etc., etc.

I wonder, what political ideology would these be described as? Hmmmmm....
