not only embarrassing, its sad. someone with this level of competency needs to be spending time with family, not dealing with trying to run the greatest, most powerful nation civilization will ever see.God we have an idiot running the country. Embarrassing
Just remember, You can feel very secure in what is on Twitter now that all of the purveyors of disinformation have been banished to that evil Parler. It's even got a blue check mark so you know that it's the way you should be thinking.
Dude, I love how people think federal employees are all military, let alone are (actually state employee) teachers, police officers, etc... Gets old.
Seems like an appropriate thread to post this one in.
Only politicians and the rich deserve more police.Wait a minute. Getting rid of police wasn’t a good idea? Complete and absolute anarchy wasn’t going to lead to a peaceful city? Police were the problem?
I’m appalled and frankly very surprised
Even most conservatives would rather have a better alternative than Trump to get behind. The problem is that Trump is the only person that is willing to go to fight against the Democrats in the same way they've fought against Republicans for decades. Finally seeing someone that is willing to actually stand up to the political bullies for causes that you agree with and not bend over instantly makes you very willing to overlook a bunch of mean tweets.The thing is ... the supermajority of the American people understand it's pretty blatant bias right now. The left is only undermining itself, even if the same supermajority of Americans don't think Trump is the answer either.
Besides 'mean tweets,' let's not forget: Paying off a pornstar to keep her mouth shut ...and blatant examples of racism ....and obsessive lying ...and two impeachments ...and mishandling the pandemic. Just THOSE sorts of things, right sk8? We want somebody whose willing to 'stand up' to the political bullies for the causes we agree with -- even if that means 'bending over' for Russia's murderous dictator, Vladimir Putin, right sk8?Even most conservatives would rather have a better alternative than Trump to get behind.

Of course you didn't.Racism - of course you pull the democratic race card. I didn't see him as racist at all.
Yep, including the staple of his voter base.Even most conservatives would rather have a better alternative than Trump to get behind.
Fight, yes.The problem is that Trump is the only person that is willing to go to fight against the Democrats in the same way they've fought against Republicans for decades.

Unfortunately ... I don't think the establishment will allow such. Ergo ...Let's find someone with a spine and the desire to fight for conservative and libertarian values (not just the fringe whackos who can hold views because they'll never actually have to defend them) and can do so without the Twitter horribleness. Surely there has to be someone in this country of 360 million people.
Please show me anyone who has been in the US Congress for any time, or any lobbyist of any term, who doesn't have blackmail, fiscal incentives, etc... In fact, because so many are so 'in bed' with foreign governments, especially Russia 2008-2014 (Romney tried to warn us -- both parties were involved) ...Payoff of a pornstar. Even if true that is just consensual sex. The only potential issue is blackmail from that behavior. This was prior to him being in the White House. Nobody knows what happened here if anything.

The reality is that by sticking with a dangerous idiot like Trump, the causes you agree with aren't going have a champion in Washington for the next decade or so.
If you want to ignore a f*king insurrection as 'bull crap,' I guess that's your right in a free country -- at least one that's still free for now.Hey, Shuck, those impeachments were total bull crap.
That's not conservative (or liberals) going to Washington and selling out. That's the power of money making sure the status quo is maintained.I had a lot of skepticism of Trump. But Sk8 is right. Far too long have Republicans come home and pandered to the people only to go to DC and suck up ,not fight for them ,not represent them and do the opposite of what they say they would do.
I totally agree with that. This has always described a clear majority of this country. The only difference today is that the radicals on both ends have gotten much louder thanks to social media and cable TV.We are not a racist nation. Conservatives are not bad people. We don't hate science ,or gay people, or brown people. Most people conservative or Democrat are kind . Most people just want to raise their families, do their jobs and be left alone.
Except it wasn’t an insurrection. Walking around the Capitol building and taking selfies before leaving that same day was not an attempt to overthrow the government. That rhetoric is dangerously irresponsible and was uttered to keep people like you so emotional that you won’t think rationally. The rhetoric is being spewed by the same people that called the armed occupation of multiple blocks of Seattle for weeks and renounced US sovereignty while doing so a “protest.” It’s not genuine; it’s directed to manipulate people.If you want to ignore a f*king insurrection as 'bull crap,' I guess that's your right in a free country -- at least one that's still free for now.

What happened in Seattle was, by definition, an insurrection.Except it wasn’t an insurrection.

It's weird that just a few weeks ago we were being told that we just had the most secure election in history, everything was legit, no fraud or irregularities.........and now they need to overhaul the entire election process.Now we have HR 1 about to be voted on in the House. HR 1 is a bill designed to standardize voting around a set of federal requirements. Among them is auto-voter enrollment whenever someone goes to the DMV, or Medicaid, or other social services. It makes state voter ID laws illegal; voters need to sign that they are a legal voter with no requirement to verify. It forces states to send out mail-in ballots to everyone automatically and forces them to count them even if they are 10 days late. Finally, it legalizes ballot harvesting.
This is a bill making the largest vulnerabilities in the system legal. It is a bill that creates requirements that make it impossible to investigate any exploitation of these vulnerabilities prior to the legislative deadlines mandated for election certification. This is spit in the eye of everyone that had any legitimate questions about possible exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Instead of securing the elections and regaining the trust of the people in the system, they are attempting to codify the insecurities. Then they'll tell us it's all legal and anyone complaining is crazy.
Jesus, you Trump cultists just won't quit.Except it wasn’t an insurrection. Walking around the Capitol building and taking selfies before leaving that same day was not an attempt to overthrow the government.
Oh, and I forgot the most unconstitutional part. Pelosi asserts in HR 1 that Congress controls DC’s statehood. The fact is the Constitution requires a Constitutional amendment to grant DC statehood. Didn’t stop her from trying.It's weird that just a few weeks ago we were being told that we just had the most secure election in history, everything was legit, no fraud or irregularities.........and now they need to overhaul the entire election process.
This is blatantly unconstitutional so no matter what it isn't going to fly, but its interesting that they are trying it.
LOL The 'vulnerabilities' that scare the shit out of you is that we make it easier for people to vote in this country.Now we have HR 1 about to be voted on in the House. ... This is a bill making the largest vulnerabilities in the system legal.
Yeah, it would be SO UNAMERICAN to grant people living in DC the same rights that everybody else in this country has, right?The fact is the Constitution requires a Constitutional amendment to grant DC statehood.
Don't you think there is a reason that the founders explicitly stated that DC is not to become a state?LOL The 'vulnerabilities' that scare the shit out of you is that we make it easier for people to vote in this country.
Simply put, the more people who vote, the less likely your view of the world is going to prevail.
Yeah, it would be SO UNAMERICAN to grant people living in DC the same rights that everybody else in this country has, right?
Let me guess: B-B-But DC is SO SMALL, right? Then maybe we should take away Statehood from Vermont and Wyoming because they are smaller.
I love how the Trump defense is always he did such a inept job of violating our Constitution, it shouldn't count.The weakest "insurrection" ever. No weapons and leave in hours. Nice try though.
Nobody but Congress lived there until after the Civil War.Don't you think there is a reason that the founders explicitly stated that DC is not to become a state?
Lol... where do you get this absolute nonsense??Nobody but Congress lived there until after the Civil War.
WikipediaLol... where do you get this absolute nonsense??
Today I learned congress used to have 75k members. 😂Wikipedia
In 1860, directly before the Civil War, the District had about 75,000 residents, far smaller than such major historical port cities as New York at 800,000 or Philadelphia at more than 500,000.

Well fortunately we don't have a lot of people in Nebraska that like to riot, so it's pretty easy to ignore the thought.So nobody is saying the capital protests were awesome here. Overblown as an insurrection is a bit much. I do find it interesting that democrats can take over cities, kick people out, kick police departments out, burn cities, etc. That isn't even worthy of an afterthought now when that happens with democrat riots. Typical behavior really. Easy as you sit in Nebraska to not care.
Really? Who's the one spewing 'nonsense' here?Today I learned congress used to have 75k members. 😂
You literally said “nobody but congress lived there until after the civil war.”Really? Who's the one spewing 'nonsense' here?
What population did you expect? There's a Grand Canyon-wide difference between a small city supporting our national government and numbers that are higher than the states of Vermont and Wyoming.
Would you please stop taking every point you're trying to make to the most extreme rhetorical place. No one is in that place but you and it makes any real conversation with you difficult.LOL The 'vulnerabilities' that scare the shit out of you is that we make it easier for people to vote in this country.

Oooookay, you really nailed me there. Well done. 🙄You literally said “nobody but congress lived there until after the civil war.”
Why do you think those 'nefarious' activities take place? If Republican legislators weren't making it difficult for non-mobile Americans to turn in their ballots by making polling places few and far between, that kind of 'rounding up' thing wouldn't be necessary.There is no reason that it can't be easy to vote for every legal voter while making it hard to illegally vote. Make it easy for Joe to turn in his vote while maintaining chain of custody while making it very hard for Jill to round up her entire neighborhood's ballots and turn them in with no way to determine if Jill turned in the original vote or if she amended the vote.
