Politics January 6th (1 Viewer)

Pretty hilarious these so called revolutionaries having major crying fits now they realize they committed illegal acts and are subject to prosecution.

As a student of history, I gave never seen any actual revolutionary or social reformer cry to someone to save them from consequences of their actions.

But let's make this conversation about me and how much I love to continue whining about how much I'm mistreated. And I'll do it day after day after day after day after day after day.

Preach brother.

Preach brother.

First time I have utilized the ignore function in years. Just over it.

I just think they are separate conversations, as well as separate

I'm having trouble writing a response to your questions, I'll admit. But let me try...

Compare them how? They are pretty dissimilar. The intent of one was unity and justice and to end violence and the other was quite literally the opposite. During the first there was violence and destruction as protesters faced the exact thing they were protesting, ie excessive police violence (now, of course, I'm simplifying for brevity)... So, sure, compare them, but I think it confuses people, because January 6th was in response to what and for what? And it went MUCH further. And it just reinforced everything the left thought of the right.......and so it's hard to see why we need to compare the two. I feel like wanting to invites suspicion is all.

Someone said this earlier, but intent is very important here. And in two hundred years, I'm guessing, the infamous January 6th insurrection will be noted in the history books, while the summer protests probably won't even make the cut...

That was a lot of words used to cheaply call someone a racist because you have no other argument.

I don't think you're a racist. I think you believe racism is a bad thing, but doesn't really exist, except in the minds of unhinged leftists who are ruining society.

If you actually read those words, you'd have known that. Hope these words made it easier for you to understand.

Makes you wonder. Can you “come across” as racist and really not be racist? How?

He doesn't come across as racist to me. He comes across as profoundly ignorant of the realities of the world, as though he lives in a white bubble. Maybe he does and maybe he doesn't, but I can't speculate about his life and won't. I can only speak to how his positions sound to me and the impression it leaves.

Doubtful. My confidence level is near zero that ANY of these people will ever be held responsible. I am more confident that Enes Kanter will continue to block 5 shots a game than I am that any of Trump, his family, Rudy, McConnell, Cruz, any of these senators, and so on will ever be held accountable. They will all go on with their political careers, get wealthier, and never once acknowledge what they did.

He'd probably be safer in prison than with the Iranian Secret Service looking to take him out personally for the rest of his days. Trump needs 4 walls after all and some bars

Sure glad he drained that swamp.

Drained the mud and filled back in with shit. But can't say he didn't do what he said he was going to!!

Smh

 

[theprunetang]

White fucking privilege.

 

[Stevenson]

Something very creepy seems like it's going on right now. Trump announcing he's leaving at 8:00 am on Wednesday. No one allowed into DC. The National Guard now is being vetted by the FBI. Why?? What do they know? Trump installs some flunky lawyer at the NSA the day before he's set to leave.

I hope I'm being paranoid.

Skin color has no power, though.

He essentially clogged the toilet with his massive dump and flushed it anyway...now the whole bathroom floor is filled with turds

This is such a poetic way to describe that administration that I think we should nominate you for the Nobel prize for literature...

Capitol Building Rioter who stole Pelosi's laptop plotted to sell it to the Russians. Riley June Williams is still on the run and still thought to be in possession of the laptop.

She was going to send it to a friend in Russia to sell it to the Russians, but her plan fell through.
