    Antifa isn't even an org, but a loose umbrella term for a multitude of left wing groups all with diff extremeties and aims, but all gathered around being anti fascist. For trump to want to declare "anti fascist" left wing groups terrorists and like tweets such as 'the only good democrat is a dead democrst" should raise some concerns over the looming spectre of fascism in the US

    But the point @drysdale demon is that there definitely are vested interests that want to incite violence and crush movements.

    geez,  talk about assumptions dc.

    tell me how many have looted,  how many have been violent, dc?  And how many police have been violent dc?   what about the police assaulting the journo's, dc.?  shooting at them and firing tear gas bombs at them.?

     

    So I take it you think,  that they all deserve what they get,  in racism and police brutality, every day;  because they are black skinned, and so must be from the dark side.? DC.

     

    And I suppose there is NO chance that Trumps team had anything to do with the small fire in the back of the church,  across the road from the "White House".?  

    Which, the very next day, Trump had his security team tear-gas the nearby people,  so they could clear a path to that very church,  just for a live TV photo Op.

    Electioneering at his worst.

    This is much much more than just a protest... to the people...dc.   its obvious.  And i feel it as well.   Even from over here.

     

    You see;  the PC type people only see the things that scare them,  in these passionate protests...  And fail to see the real issues. That the people are severely hurt from.

     

    How do you feel, dc,   when a Black Person is killed at the hands of the police forces in the US.?

    Seems you care more for goods, property, material items,  Over peoples welfare.  Black people's welfare.

    It would be good if it was just a protest, but I would not call what is happening a protest more like anarchy fueled by groups with other agendas.

    Like the peaceful sign that read yesterday in Sydney " A good cop is a dead cop "

    It was just a protest, but like the yellow vests in France, it has been hijacked by many others with different agendas and I would suggest that there is  likelihood that a number of those are extreme right wing as well as left wing. This is hardly the fault of the BLM movement.

    General Mattis has a good take on this.

    For the Trumpet supporters, they could do with listening to the good general and many other thinking conservatives (not democrats or left wingers) who can see the damage being done by this President.

    The sensationalist headlines unfortunately don't look deep into the issues.

    Trouble is we will get caught up in it, we are not immune.

    General James Mattis was one of Donald Trump's most high-profile appointments. Mattis resigned as Trump's secretary of defence in December of 2018, but has largely kept quiet about his former boss … until today.
          
    Mattis has issued a pretty extraordinary statement just now, saying Mr Trump makes a "mockery of the Constitution":
    "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society," Mr Mattis said in a statement to the Atlantic Magazine.
    Mr Mattis said he was "angry and appalled" by what he had watched this week, and threw his support behind those at peaceful protests:
        
    It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.
         
    When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
