What should he have been charged with if he were treated similarly to others?

Both guys have been interviewed by Feds and have the same account of what was said. Epps called the tip line after seeing he was on the FBI list and was subsequently interviewed. Samsel, the guy who assaulted a police officer, is facing charges. Why would he protect Epps? In other news, Samsel is developing quite the rack in prison: https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-breach/pa-man-accused-in-jan-6-attack-on-cop-who-suffered-a-concussion-demands-medical-treatment-for-a-condition-deemed-not-urgent-by-jail-doctor/

Why do ducks [self gratify] so much? They're all gonna go blind.

What did you deduce from this?

Nothing listed in that article represents a conservative view. He said "jet fuel can't melt steel beams"

J6 was 4 years in the making. It was the culmination of years of reckless behavior. From the get go he did everything he could to whip his followers into a frenzy. Lock her up, Fake News, embracing QAnon, and it all came home to roost when he spent weeks preparing his base for a "stolen" election before a single ballot was cast. I highly doubt Trump planned or orchestrated much of anything on J6 and even if he did I doubt it can be proven. Hes indirectly responsible and that won't hold up in court. There is definitely some level of political theater at play and the most serious of charges are unlikely to stick in my opinion. Examples will be made of a few instigators. That still doesn't make J6 a non-event, a witch hunt, or a form of political persecution as many are desperately claiming.

Skepticism is great and a necessary part of a functioning democracy. Assuming every mass act of violence or anything invoking white supremacy or fringe right wing organizations is a plot by the government to commit violence against its citizens to steal your freedoms is not skepticism. Its also not at all consistent with waiting for all the facts to come out. Knee jerk claims of false flag is a dangerous side effect of letting Alex Jones and the like into your home. Calling out the boy who cried false flag does not mean I accept all media at face value.

Since when is the Patriot Front some fearsome fighting force that will die before surrender? Your entire argument is semantics and rests on use of the term Nazi and baseless conclusions drawn from invocation of that term. This must be a false flag because real Nazis would go down fighting. Since when is the dastardly FBI in the habit of letting their many false flags get foiled by podunk local law enforcement?

It is batshit crazy that the first thought you and too many others have to any event which is inconvenient to your worldview is a "false flag". Thanks, Alex Jones.

You are allowed to care about both and assign blame where it is deserved.

NYR is no Avalanche and they found a lot of time and space against Tampa. NYR's speed gave Tampa all they could handle. That doesn't bode well against an even faster and more talented Colorado offense. I don't think anyone can slow down Colorado. The Blues were red hot and Colorado steamrolled them. Avs in 6.

I have not seen Tua attempt many contested throws. Whenever I watch the Phins, they are usually down multiple scores and he still refuses to push the ball downfield. Occasionally he hit Davante Parker down the sideline in tight coverage but thats still a safe throw. He looks like a guy playing not to lose. WRs aren't 5 steps open in the NFL. If defenses don't respect you as a deep threat they will sit on everything short and when they do, all the accuracy and quick reads won't help.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/10/nfl-now-says-cody-ford-block-that-drew-big-flag-in-playoff-game-was-legal/ When the NFL admits they got it wrong then you know it was 250% wrong.

Why choose one play? He easily cost us the game when he and then Dawson Knox decided not to pick up Texans LB Cunningham on the QB sweep who went in untouched and earholed Allen. If Ford just gets in his way Allen runs into easy FG range or maybe even the endzone.

I hope you are equally passionate the next time someone posts some click bait, gotcha bull#### about what Biden said. The board needs a lot more of these checks against blatant spin, dishonesty, and propaganda even when we might by sympathetic to the sentiment.

Part of what problem? What is the obvious increase in exposing children to drag queens and trans women? Do you have any backup or are you referring to how often you see it now that you've subscribed to TicToks (I cant even believe I have to address TicToc as a source) following the drag show epidemic? I thought you weren't talking about the frequency of this kinda thing....thats ok it was heavily implied. No one posts videos and demands public condemnation for things they believe to be infrequent and or insignificant. Yeah, yeah, one is too many and other cop outs. Its borderline child abuse to celebrate the sexuality of grade school children if that was what was happening in the first video you shared. Not much context to go on. Its also massively hypocritical since the latest thinking is all about how gender and sexuality are far from known until early adulthood. The second video, I would have no idea it was a drag queen or trans if the title had not indicated. Again, no context but if that was just a drag queen poorly lip synching then who cares? Its about as offensive as powder puff football. Rage on. We have adults here who insist they are politically informed who do not use punctuation, can't conjugate verbs, and generally communicate at a grade school level.

By common sense do you mean completely ignoring global supply and demand in energy markets, the main determinant of energy prices? I never once claimed that the President has "no effect" on energy prices. I have stated repeatedly that the President is not the explanatory factor you and many others claim it to be. Talking energy prices without mention of OPEC, geopolitics, wars, super majors is like explaining space travel as a function of Tang and chimpanzees. A pipeline that never operated for a day is not the magic bullet you think it is. The entire futures market did not rest on success of the XL Pipeline. Joe Biden canceled some leases and that has been a major talking point. Yet there was no meaningful decline in production in 2021 relative to 2020 despite a full year of pandemic. Average monthly production in 2022 is higher than it was in 2021 and 2020 funnily enough. The United States STILL leads the world in oil and gas production today by a lot and we still export tons of it to other countries despite all of Biden's disastrous energy policies. So what's the argument now? You know the energy industry is not nationalized, right? There are these things called corporations and they actually produce, refine, and market oil and gas. The frac boom is over, the energy sector was/(is?) tremendously out of favor on Wall Street, and the mandate was clear: reign in costs, return money to shareholders. Every super major is doing just that. There has been an industry wide move away from new exploration and every exec is telling the same story: we will not increase production. They are reaping windfall profits this year. Can't wait to see what my wife's bonus check looks like this year $$$. Biden hasn't done anything to alleviate prices at the pump but even he ok'd the XL Pipeline and gave approval for the select few Gulf leases canceled that might know a few cents off per gallon. The ban on Russian exports moves the needle. Thats a separate discussion but replacing 8% of our imports still doesn't explain a doubling in gasoline prices.

For years down here the universal economic theory is stock market goes up, president good. Except for when it hit all time highs during the Obama admin. Then critical thinking was injected and there was real discussion about how the stock market is not a good proxy for the overall economy, the effects of quantitative easing, giving GWB the credit for TARP, etc. Then Trump takes office and stock market go up, president good. But then stock market go down. Critical thinking resumes, Covid-19, the executive office has limited ability to change the business cycle, black swan event. We ignore the TCJA and the fact that the president raised the value of all corporate earnings, we ignore the stimulus package which pumped millions into equity markets Biden wins the election and we're back to stock market goes down, president bad. Critical thinkers produce this gem: the pandemic is over this is all Biden's fault. We ignore war in Ukraine disrupting major grain and energy imports, Russia embargo, the world's largest manufacturer and major consumer market, China, is still in Covid Zero lockdown. Seems like a pattern. The few "lefties" on this board do it too and I've criticized their posts. The demographics are such that its 20:1 down here though.

Yes, inflation is real. Your understanding of inflation and high energy prices is juvenile if it begins and ends with the Biden admin. Or the Trump admin.

Because I am one the few that isn't here to gleefully participate in the circle jerk and has the audacity to question or challenge posts rather than just celebrate any and every FJB, LGB, MAGA witticism I see. Thats what this place used to be about before Trump took office and the great schism that sent half of PPP out to form their own Utopia. Calling each issue as you see it and not tribes towing the party line to win the TBD culture war. By the way, the same thing is happening over at BF.com. The people who left this board because of its supposed political slant are finally rid of all the loony "leftists" and now they're finding more "liberals" among their ranks. And of course, liberals are anyone who interrupts the echo chamber. Funny how that happens. Stay silent unless you want to be labeled a liberal. Theres complicity for you.

That is how a semi-literate would interpret that post. Another triumph.

I'm glad you find my question funny. Now imagine the joy I get from watching semi-literates discuss global energy markets as "Joe Biden y u do dis?!?!"

When was the executive branch ever in charge of gas and grocery prices?

You didn't answer it either. What part of the "Bills leftists" qualification did you not understand in your vapid post? Complicity was your accusation and thats when I engaged this nonsense. Conclusion implies there was some type thought process that occurred or synthesis of relevant information. Asking who will condemn something that NO ONE on this board has ever publicly supported and then drawing damning conclusions from your own folly is asinine. Yet you will defend it to the death. LOL one is too many. Virtue signaling and pearl clutching intensifies.
