Trump didn't order anyone to attack anything. OG, I only took umbrage with, "Horrible," because I don't think it was horrible. As we can see, it's ultimately no big deal. Biden is President, no legitimate threat to the U.S.A. ever transpired, life goes on. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Probably the only good decision I'd ever make. I'd give this country about three months to exist if I were in charge...I'd find some way to massively screw up something major. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

So you would have them clip AOC if she was there? The President is a fink. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5123 | I said the things I know are true, like what I saw on live TV, in a declarative way. The things I'm not so sure of I put in a different way without the arrogance of claiming "I know". Now, it is true that conspiracy theories are spread in the second way, it's a technique, yes. But I don't think what I said went to that level. I do feel "the narrative" has quite a few omissions and does paint what happened as something it was not. You can buy it wholesale if you like, but I refer you back to the DC Beltway Snipers I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Why wasn’t AOC supposed to be in the Capitol Building in your mind? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I'm sure getting tired of all of this African-American violence against Asians: https://abcnews.go.com/US/dead-shootings-georgia-spas-suspect-custody/story?id=76499529 Oh, wait...

Political calculation by Fox and the right Trump was on Fox last night using "China virus" Its red meat for their audience That's whats important for right wingers The resulting hatred towards Chinese Americans is just ignored.

Well, that's also kind of a problem. It's really as simple as this: People who commit violent crimes are violent criminals. People who commit violent crimes that are, in any way, motivated by race have committed a violent hate crime. Being concerned with the proportions of people to commit violent hate crimes, whether that concern extends to race, political or religious beliefs (as much as I loathe to add the last one) is detrimental as it just breeds further animosity between groups and cements what views of other groups some people might already have. So, someone either commits a violent crime or they do not. We should all be able to just agree that nobody should commit violent crimes and leave it at that. Anything beyond that very simple concurrence is unproductive. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Sounds like a built-in attempt at an insanity defense. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |
