I had no trouble handling the Mueller Report, Nor the Rittenhouse decision, nor the false accusations that Trump said that Nazis were very fine people, nor the several other conspiratorial accusations that you promoted on this forum. No problem at all.

I was stationed with a guy on my ship, we left on a 6 month deployment, his daughter was born 3 days after we left. He left with us, missed the birth, missed her first smile, didn’t get to see her until she was 4 months old (wife flew out and met the ship in Spain and surprised him). A lot of stories like that.

Glad Mayor Pete got to go out trick or treating with the fam while the US shipping ports ground to a halt

He took on a very important role, he needed to show the #^&#^&#^&#^& up, he failed

and arrest anyone who is illegally blocking anything. fair
enough?

how about you go back to the question i asked, instead of dodging it completely.

so you have zero evidence to support your position.

a weapon in a hotel! and a ladder.

against the united states federal government. it’s amazing we survived that existential
threat.

it’s a good thing that ladder was only a ten footer . if they brought the 12-footer, the country would be a wasteland.

the most ominous threats were weapons not on their persons, and a ladder. i think they got this idea from an episode of ‘24’. Even Jack Bauer was helpless in the face of a ladder.

oh this thread is a gift!

antifa brings lots of weapons, does that mean they’re domestic terrorists? your side won’t even admit they exist.

Alex Jones today says he “doesn’t want to spend the rest of my life in prison,” so he will plead the 5th before the J6 Select Committee.

Reffitt is one of three people charged with carrying a gun onto Capitol grounds; no one is charged so far with having a gun inside the building. Two others are charged with bringing guns and explosives to Washington.

pretty tough to hold the fort with only three guns on capitol grounds and none inside the building

in normal times, you’re right, as long as he has his phone, he can be reached anywhere during an emergency.

Once there is a national crisis within his area of his responsibility, the needs of the people he claimed to want to serve, are more important than his reading children’s books to his babies in front of the fire.

You can be informed of a national crisis at home on paternity leave. You can’t fix a national crisis while hime on paternity leave.

you know this. you just can’t say it because of politics.

Just tourists
While the more than 700 federal cases brought already represent the largest federal investigation in history, that number mounts daily, with the Justice Department now estimating that more than 2,000 people “were involved with the siege,” up from earlier assessments of around 800.

Roughly half of the defendants have been charged with at least one felony, in contrast to the large percentage of petty misdemeanors seen among the early guilty pleas.
The quick and simple cases go first.
Conspiracy cases will come, the Proud Boys are scheduled for April

you’re acting as if the entire right is forgiving those rioters. problem
is, we aren’t. You’re the ones who always give your own side a free pass.

Charge them with every single law that hey actually broke, and punish them accordingly. i can’t imagine how you infer from that, that I feel they were just tourists.

but everyone here has trouble understanding your gibberish, so that’s not news.

pete i’m terms of loss of
life and property, there’s simply no comparison between between january 6 and the summer 2020 BLM riots.

yet your side ignores the more serious event, and obsesses over the far more benign one, for political purposes.

and americans see this.

the problem for liberals today, is they usually act kooky when there’s some other event going on to distract america from their craziness - like the 2008 economic crisis, covid, Trumps disgusting antics.

today, for the first time in a long time, liberals are showing their bolshevik kooky colors in broad daylight, with nothing to distract americans away. it’s not going well. americans can see clearly what today’s brand of liberalism is. and they don’t like it.

election results, every poll, every event and every liberal reaction to that event, is bad news for your side. they can’t get a single thing right.

except the infastructure bill which was a smart political win. But it won’t offset a constant avalanche of monumental blunders.

keep beating the “end cash bail” drum, keep telling parents that while they have an obligation to pay for public schools, they aren’t entitled to a say in how their money is spent.

It’s working! Americans love those ideas! Right?

the most rational people on the left, are Bill Maher and James Carville !!!! then only two that i can tell, who are aware of the way liberals are driving themselves off the progressive woke cliff.

and it’s glorious to behold.

sadly, a lot can happen in a year. but i think biden is too weak to pivot to the center.

so barring another national crisis, the left is setting itself up for a bloodbath in 2022. liberals have a knack for getting a crisis when they need it. boy do they need it now.

They took a page right out of you sides well-worn playbook, staged a much more peaceful riot than your side did that summer, demanded that they get their way, and the system told them to f-ck off, exactly as the system is supposed to tell them.

There are way too many conservatives for my liking, who act like there's hard evidence the election was stolen. There's also too many liberals fo rmy liking (almost all of them) who say that everything, including the Rittenhouse event, is a matter of white supremacy. Each side spewing lies for political gain. There are 2 differences. (1) Foxnews doesn't claim every night all night, that the election was stolen, but you almost everything on MSNBC and CNN is presented through the prism of race. (2) the only person killed as a direct result of the Trump riot, was an unarmed, tiny, female rioter, shot without warning while obviously posing no immediate threat to anyone, killed by a cop with a documented history of being stupidly reckless with his gun.

Your side is more choked up about the death a 4- or 5-time child rapist who announced that he was going to kill Rittenhouse for absolutely no reason, then tried to take his rifle.

Have fun with that. I have to go to starch my robe for tonights klan meeting.

assuming we don’t nominate trump ( i really hope we don’t) there’s almost zero remaining political
capital for democrats to gain from january 6th. soon, the democrats are going to need something else to point to. they can’t bank on that forever. It’s in the rear view mirror for most americans, but the libs can’t let it go, it’s all they’ve got.
