You don't need a news story; as Mashmont says, "it's common knowledge"...:lol. If he says it's true, well, who are we to argue with his expertise and deeply insightful posts?

I already linked a source. Is there no end to your whining? But I'm amazed you didn't know Soros financed Antifa and BLM. Do you really believe these groups aren't funded? After all, these leftist dirtbags aren't paying their own expenses. Most of them don't even have jobs.

Ah yes, "common knowledge" and "common sense". They're both valuable only when you've identified the collectors of knowledge and how they use it.

So, where in the....uh....news...story you linked is the evidence that Soros funded these riots? Actually, where is the evidence he funded Antifa or BLM?

The Story mentions Soros 16 times. So you now demand a link inside a link?

Prosecuting Antifa, Soros, and the Open Society Foundations
AG Barr’s announcement signals a whole new phase of combatting Antifa and the forces that fund them. The principal funding for Antifa and Black Lives Matter groups across the country is George Soros and the Open Society Foundations. George Soros has been funding terror activities and the disruption of government around the world for decades. He has funded the Open Society Foundations with $38 billion dollars. That is billion with a giant B.

Let's take it slow. 1) Soros Funds BLM and Antifa. 2) BLM and Antifa were both involved in these riots. 3) Therefore Soros financed these riots. 4) Derp.

So Peter King is another one who thinks Antifa and BLM are self-sufficient. I guess you think these unemployed maggots donate their own resources?

Because some obscure source makes the connection, you mention them as "facts"?
:lamo

The National Enquirer has made all sorts of odd claims....they must be true too because they published them.

If that is true, then why do so many righties here at DP have much higher L to P ratios?. That kinda debunks your your 'theory' doesn't it? Fact is, many righties here at DP call you out for many of your 'less than stellar' posts. ( fact)

On Friday, my blue state Democrat governor mandated masks for all indoor businesses and government buildings. He said law enforcement wouldn't be involved against customers, but the health department would penalize businesses that didn't comply and didn't force customers to comply.

I live in a conservative area of the state. Out of 250,000 in our metro area, we have 339 (alleged) COVID-19 cases and 23 deaths, (more than half from a single nursing home), relatively few on both counts. I was interested in seeing how businesses and patrons would handle the edict, particularly the big boxes. Note, as announced Thursday, I refused to wear a mask at any time and was prepared to be confronted when I entered a store, especially a national chain. Here are the results:

1. Convenience stores: I went in about five of them. Perhaps 1 in 10 customers were wearing masks, and in only one of the stores were the clerks wearing one.
2. Tobacco shops: I went into two of them. Not a soul had a mask on. Not a customer, not an employee
3. Kroger: The employees were wearing them, about half the customers were. Nobody was being forced to.
4. Lowe's: I went in there about an hour before closing. About a third of the customers were wearing. About half the employees were.
5. Walmart: They had a sign posted that the law requires masks. All the employees were wearing, Again, about half the customers were. I asked an employee if the store was forcing people to wear masked. The guy said "They want employees to, but they aren't saying anything to customers".

So there you have it. People in my city DON'T have the virus, and for the most part they are SNUBBING our Communist governor's edict, as are businesses. I don't know if jackbooted thug state health dept officials will descend on the businesses or not. But nothing is happening as yet. I needn't have braced for confrontation. Nobody cared if I wore a mask or not.

I've contended numerous times this virus hype is a total fraud, a political charade by the left. My hunch is being confirmed by the total media switch to the fake Soros-financed riots. These paid-for highly orchestrated phony protests have swept virus news off the front pages. Had the virus threat been real, it would have been all hands on deck. The media would have joined with the president in getting us through this. But it was a political stunt from the start. It's starting to fail, and now it's onto the next "huge story that's finally going to bring down Trump". Both stories are as fake as three-dollar bills with Hillary's picture on them.

You've heard of a shrinking violet? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the incredible shrinking virus!. The curve for US COVID-19 deaths is definitely flattening! Rapidly. Five straight 3-day periods of a drop in the rate of increase. I am a math wonk as everybody knows. Here are the falling numbers. My predictions through the end of the month are in red. Let's see if they happen. I am almost giddy about this drop and Trump's great success. As I stated earlier, look for the top of curve to take place about April 6-8. By the time April 12 comes along, we'll be rapidly heading out of the danger zone. The president and his optimism are right on!!! The DJIA gained 2100 points yesterday, it is up 500 today as of this moment, and Trump's approval rating is at an all time high. America is BRIMMING with optimism!!!!

Note. Predictions are in red. They have not happened yet.

3-Day: Cases Beg: Cases End:

Mar 18-21 6332 19862 313% increase
Mar 19-22 9572 27021 282% increase
Mar 20-23 14312 35409 247% increase
Mar 21-24 19862 46158 232% increase
Mar 22-25 27021 54428 201% increase
Mar 23-26 35409 66710 190% increase
Mar 27-30 46158 78468 170% increase
Mar 28-31 54428 81642 150% increase

Remember Mashmont's predictions, people. Only 10,400 deaths, max. Only 130,000 COVID cases, max. This wouldn't make a garden variety flu season. Can you say hoax?

1134 deaths in the US just yesterday.

The mask does nothing other than to remind those around you that there is a ongoing pandemic. If I go into a business and employees are wearing masks I will put one on out of respect for their sacrifice even though the mask is as useless as my governor.

We have had a huge trial for resumed close contact where thousands gathered in protests and riots all over the country. Specifically, New York City, the biggest hot spot for Covid19. If NYC hospitals and hospitals around the country aren't overwhelmed in the next 14 days we must make America free again.

We will know that it's safe to gather outside in large groups as long as we wear masks.

Three points:

1. I don't necessarily need a link inside a link, though often real news stories have them. Typically, an actual news story will provide some kind of evidence. It'll either point to some document or documents, quote someone with direct knowledge, point to a video, or some combination thereof, in support of its major points. The...article...at this link does none of those things. It's possible to find a link on the internet somewhere that says the Catholic Church is the antichrist. Do you automatically believe it? No? Well, good, you shouldn't, because not every link you read on the internet is trustworthy.

2. Moreover, your reasoning is completely invalid. The police are involved in these riots. Are taxpayers therefore funding these riots as well? Perhaps all American taxpayers should be investigated by William Barr...

3. If what the...story...you posted says is true, we should soon see Soros indicted on some pretty serious charges by the Justice Department or the FBI. If that doesn't happen, you should seriously reconsider your epistemic procedures.

So, again, where is the evidence that Soros funded Antifa or BLM? Where is the evidence he funded these riots? To be clear, I have no knowledge of whether he did or did not. You're claiming he did, so provide a sound argument to that effect, with verifiably true premises, otherwise reasonable people should not believe you.

Have any of your sources actually provided direct links to any Soros foundation directly sponsoring the kind of activities they allege? Most I've seen over the years have been pretty flimsy at best. Also, what do you think a financier who made his money through the capitalist system, has to gain by sponsoring civil unrest?

If you make a claim, it's on you to prove it. Linking to an article which makes an unsubstantiated claim doesn't make it more credible; just because you want to believe it doesn't make it true.
