I’m SURE he’d say the same exact thing if it was Obama who got egged.
It wasn’t just eggs thrown at them, watch the video, the thugs were shoving members of Elder’s team as well.
If someone in a dark black monkey mask threw eggs at a black democrat, CNN would be going berserk. So would the liberals here.

many people are upset. just not the zealots here, the same zealots who are in the tiny group of people who give biden good marks for the afghanistan withdrawal. you guys think you’re the mainstream, because you never ever listen thoughtfully to anyone who isnt exactly like you.
I’m appalled at what happened in january 6, makes me
sick that my side resorted to that. arrest every one of them, charge them
to the fullest extent of the law. Is that a crazy position for me to have?
every assumption you make about me, is 100% wrong, because you assume I’m as thoughtless as you, that i can’t criticize my own side. I have repeatedly criticized my own side, yet you embarrass yourself by posting that i’d forgive rioters in my side.
You are the one who never criticized any liberal no matter what they do. i’m honest and fair, which you are incapable of.
Let that sink in.

And you’ve written more outrage over an Eggassination attempt than that Jan 6th until now that is that was my only point ..
As for criticism of liberals I believe Como needed to resign, do I think Biden should resign for how Afghanistan went down Nope . Could things have gone better absolutely. Do I think the infrastructure a bit high yes but why not we haven’t had one in decades and Republicans are just saying no for the sake of saying no .. never mind their covid response.. so to be honest when Republicans are still creating more issues then they help to resolve . It’s hard to criticize the left for attempting to provide solutions to problems. And easier to criticize the right for attempting to provide solutions for problems that only exist in their imagination

"And you’ve written more outrage over an Eggassination attempt than that Jan 6th until now that is that was my only point .. "
Fair enough. But it shouldn't surprise you to hear me say those people behaved horribly and should be prosecuted. I also stand by my position that if the political angle and ethnicities were different, the unarmed woman shot to death without warning by a cop, would have been handled very very differently. It was ignored because she was a white conservative.
"do I think Biden should resign for how Afghanistan went down Nope"
Me either. But I didn't see you do anything but defend him (and insult his critics) on the other thread.
"never mind their covid response"
Yet states with the highest death rates to date, are disproportionately democrat. That's irrefutable fact. But you just can't accept it, because you don't happen to like it.
"It’s hard to criticize the left for attempting to provide solutions to problems. And easier to criticize the right for attempting to provide solutions for problems that only exist in their imagination"
Now, that's more along the lines of what I expected.
Why are huge numbers of people and businesses fleeing blue states, moving to red states? If you say "because of weather", keep in mind that southern California has nice weather, and yet people aren't moving there, California is losing population big time, much to Texas.

Yup. I don’t think anyone here has supported the actions I’ve said very clearly that I think anyone who entered the Capitol or committed a crime should be held accountable but because I don’t support putting someone charged with trespassing in jail for 18 months I must be a seditionist and traitor…
Similarly….despite the fact that I’m vaccinated and will have a mask on most of the day today. Because I don’t support government mandated vaccination….I’m an anti-vaxxer…this is how the totalitarians operate. You either agree with them completely or they become enraged and vindictive. Pretty screwed up😜

exactly. conservatives aren’t anti vaccine, were opposed to state laws forcing us to get it.
the groups that are least vaccinated include blacks and people with phd’s, two groups that are heavily democratic. but like everything, it’s all the republicans fault.

Yet if your Pro Choice you support abortion the right need to understand they cant claim these exceptions for themselves but deny them to others But they do it all the time .... and that's actually How the totalitarians operate..

look how they frame every issue.
If you're pro-life, it' snot because you have empathy for a vulnerable defenseless human being, it's because you want to enslave women.
If you want a secure border, it's not because it makes economic and national security sense, it's because you hate mexicans.
If you want reasonable taxes, it's not because you're practical, it's because you hate poor people (high tax states like CA and CT have eliminated poverty, you see).
If you're concerned about jihadists, it's because you're an Islamaphobe.
If you are comfortable with christianity, it's because you're a homophobe.
In their minds, it's not possible to have a principled disagreement about anything. Any disagreement must be rooted in hate and ignorance.

that it’s well known, makes it ok?
lynching is also well known, everyone knows about it. does that mean it’s ok?
that’s what scott was shocked by. you’re apparently saying that because it’s well known, therefore it’s ok.
