It's the unequal and politicized application of the law that even some on the left are deeply concerned about. — fishfry
It's easier when you don't see them as people but as mere politicians.It doesn’t follow, for me. — NOS4A2
They've always been that way.He has become a folk devil. As a result, they have become the petty despots they claimed to have feared. — NOS4A2
Exactly it's amazing how much the entire U.S. government and all it's affiliations don't tire of this paradoxical rhetoric.Every time they mention democracy, the rule of law, or some other bromide, we are only reminded of how quick they are to violate them. — NOS4A2
the J6 committee was a total politicized fraud. — fishfry
By the way, I don't accept that. I watched a great deal of the telecast, I found it compelling and right on target. — Wayfarer
Trump should never be considered for public office again, in light of what he was shown to have done. But again, the supine GOP have fallen in behind him, two officers who were injured trying to defend the Capital were booed by Republicans when they appeared before Pennsylvania's House of Representatives. The rot has well and truly set in. — Wayfarer
A riot is not an attempt to overthrow a government. — Benkei
The fact you're trying to equate them underlines the rot Wayfarer is pointing to. Bringing up Babbitt in response to the shameful treatment of chips doing their jobs, as if that excuses such a response, underlines the same rot. — Benkei
Take it from somebody looking at American Bullshit from the outside; it's been rotting since Reagan. — Benkei
That hysterical rhetoric is childish. Nobody overthrew the government. — fishfry
I said attempt. And no, it's not hysterical. But nice try at downplaying. Does it make you sleep better? — Benkei
Again, only dumb Americans don't take J6 seriously. Everybody outside saw it for what it was. A bunch of thugs trying to keep their God Emperor Trump on the throne as they have admitted to and informants in the Boogaloo, Proud Boys and other militant groups, that were there, reported on. But yeah, keep your head in the same and pretend this was the same as a riot and watch it happen again next time Trump loses. — Benkei
Didn't they throw certain GOP members off the committee or deny them membership, flouting longstanding procedures? I also hear they destroyed all their records. — fishfry
to see intelligent people rationalizing the despicable
actions of Trump and his flunkeys. It’s depressing. — Wayfarer
Not true. There were intruders holding signs saying that the Vice President should be hung and expressing the intent to find and murder the speaker of the house. They desecrated the House and destroyed private and government property and confidential records.I truly have no interest in debating J6. It was a protest that got out of hand. — fishfry
[Trump] is not on trial for J6 — fishfry
What riot happened on his inauguration? None.
Handful of unarmed clowns in costumes. Guess you missed the leftists interrupting Kavanaugh hearing. — fishfry
Since November 22, 1963. — fishfry
This is what makes it disappointing - to see intelligent people rationalizing the despicable
actions of Trump and his flunkeys. It’s depressing. — Wayfarer
The subpoena to Garland was pure theatre and retribution — Wayfarer
Yeah, the day one of the worst presidents in history gets shot — Mikie
You'll ignore a summer of deadly rioting
— fishfry
Hysterical. Childish. — Mikie
