we elected the dems, so if those things happen, we deserve it. but let’s not say those are things that have been seriously considered.

Did Jim actually write that crap? Our collective knowledge of history isn't very good I guess.

Republican Sen. Ben Sasse has just revealed that he heard from senior White House officials that President Trump was "delighted" and "excited" to hear that his supporters were breaking into the Capitol building in a riot Wednesday that turned deadly.

“As this was unfolding on television, Donald Trump was walking around the White House confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was as you had rioters pushing against Capitol Police trying to get into the building."

If you want any inkling that might possibly in the slightest manner penetrate your self-righteous Progressive/leftist/Democrat mind . . . any inkling of what your politically inbred political and social narrative is breeding in the minds of the other half of the country, watch this:

Twitter is not the real world. It is a corporate left leaning authoritarian tool. It will begin to lose market to new formed competitors such as Parler. Facebook likewise to Rumble. Unless . . . "In a letter to the developers of Parler, Apple said it will pull the app in 24 hours if it does not get a plan to moderate the service more" . . . censorious crony corporate authoritarianism on the rise

Thought control. Language control. Mind control. The so-called American Experiment is in serious decline.

And, yeah, this video is the real world of what those you try to marginalize and destroy really think about your biased, reactionary, inflammatory parroting of the left wing authoritarian narrative (refusing to watch it exposes your narrow minded insularity, your willful ignorance):

Twitter says it has seen conversation on and off Twitter of a “proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.”

Did they inform the FBI? Probably don't need to. Our massive government surveillance of Americans has probably already caught that. Has Twitter banned the CCP or the Iranian death to America crowd yet?

And there's youtube--watch that video just posted above? Or are you just too comfortable in your radical ignorance?

Just run off to Parler or Rumble and live in your imaginary world with President Donnie Camacho.

Ok. Get those who built the bombs. You do realize it was a "mostly peaceful protest" not an insurrection.

This is exactly the kind of stupid willfully ignorant comment that divides us.

But the content of this video is not imaginary. It is real:

How do you resolve the difference between alternate facts? Separate? Or find a common ground? I don't see the common ground between the Progressive agenda and the constitutional order. It's been a discussion I have tried to start. No one seems to want to participate. Do you?

got this from my kid's high school superintendent...

"tips on how to talk to your child about what happened in Washington"

You can also use this as a teachable moment to help older kids and teens develop critical-thinking and media literacy skills as they witness this historic moment.

The differences between how pro-Trump protestors and how Black and Brown protestors are treated by police and described in the media can exacerbate feelings of inequality. It's important to acknowledge these triggers and give everyone the space they need to express their feelings.

Which words are journalists or social media influencers using to talk about the situation or the people involved? Do you think they would use different words if the rioters were Black, Latinx, or Muslim?

How was the police response and the news coverage different from the Black Lives Matter protests?

What differences do you see in the way the media is talking about the situation compared to the Black Lives Matter protests? Do they use different words to refer to this event and the people involved?

I don't remember the superintendent sending any letters out over the last year tell us how to talk(what to think) to our kids about the violence and destruction going on around the country by leftist groups...and there was plenty of material there.....

UMass Memorial employee who 'may have been involved' in violence at Capitol loses job

UMass Memorial Health Care said an employee who "may have been involved" in the violence in Washington on Wednesday is no "longer part of our organization."

The hospital released a statement Friday via Twitter, saying they learned one their employees could have been involved in the violence at the Capitol.

If they don’t have proof that person acted criminally, then that’s a dumb move and likely grounds for legal action.

I am old enough to remember the anti-anti-Trumpers who decided they were being forced to support the president because of the radicalism of Democrats and their associated mobs. Are you?

Trumps melt down is in high gear, he hasn’t called, talked to or met with Pence since the chamber was breached. Trump supporters heard find and hang Pence, no call to ask how are you doing my friend, oh forget friends are enemies quickly in Trump world. If only he could fire him in his closing weeks he could have his revenge.

No recount, no Twitter, potentially making history by being impeached twice, cold shoulder for Pence and he will pout in the residence during inauguration if he makes it that far.

So what are the odds that he will actually pull a Nixon and smartly resign so Pence can pardon him.

Pete F. 01-10-2021 10:23 AM

This is not playing out the way elected GOP thought or hoped. Smart ones will start throwing Trump under the bus now.
One could argue that members of his administration and enablers are at least complicit in aiding & abetting rebellion, insurrection, treason, vandalism...2nd degree murder & involuntary manslaughter. There must be consequences.

you and Got Traitors should start a consulting company hunting down enemies of the state through the internets....

Silly Troll, you need to learn how to quote.
Are you spending your time looking for Tweety’s missing votes?
