    Watch as the power grab over reaches ala 9/11. Dems and left leaning media will now use this as a blunt force tool to silence those they do not agree with. There were a select few that entered the building but many 10s of thousands if not 100s of thousands more that were there just to show their legitimate concerns in a way that is their right. Instead everyone is painted as insurrectionist, racist, etc.  

     

    From 1984 to your eyes today, the ministry of truth, will now allow these dissenting voices to be quashed.  Not violent voices, just dissenting.  Those who caused damage to the capitol and actually stormed, throw the book. Not dealing with what the legitimate concerns (yes they are legitimate) will sadly lead to even worsening tensions, and God forbid, a worse catastrophe than we saw. Instead of making this a moment to come together, we are seeing a further divide of rhetoric from the Democratic side to fuel the fire and increase the obvious power grab. This country may not survive this, and it will be because of the cancelling of dissenting voices. Shame!  

    It was a LOT more than a select few, and they were most certainly in a restricted area they have NO right to be.  It's a federal crime, and a W.V. state rep is facing a sentence of up to 10 years for it.  You then go on to talk about truth and legitimacy.  What could be more true or legitimate than the laws of the USA??  Law and order remember??  C'mon it wasn't that long ago, surely you remember Lastly, a blatant lie is not a dissenting voice.  Trumps gone, and so are the alternative facts

    See now I don't believe that. I think he's an entertainer. He thought he was putting on a show. He fed into all the conspiracies out there. Trump was the biggest test to Democracy we've seen in our lifetime simply by his message. It wasn't really anything he did though, it was his deviciveness. What did he really do policy wise to threaten democracy? Nothing. Our system is strong. Not even someone as divisive as Trump could break it. 

    Easy answer is stop watching opinion news. Turn it off. 

    No, it's the Republicans that think the Democrats will make us communists, not Trump.  

     

    As for Fox news, you asked me a question of what they're afraid of.  I told you how to find out by watching it.  I rarely watch Fox, and only do to see what they're saying

    no i wasn't trying to be condescending. twitter has been ejecting people for there politics long before today. people just feel its justified because nazi, racist ect ect can be placed on anyone on the right you disagree with. the left has much more leverage because the people who work there agree with that ideology, and the monetary support as well. so the ban hammer is much softer. 

     

    i probably shouldn't have answered on his posts behalf.

     

    but seriously watch the joe rogan podcast. they sit down and talk about alot of this in depth.

    Again, so they're fascist when it social media, and anti-fascists when they are looting??  Is that the gist?

    What are you actually afraid of though? How is your life being affected? What specifically makes you afraid and makes you feel like you have to fight? Give me an example? It seems to be all this fear is imaginary. All these bad things are going to happen in the future if you don't fight. The "Left" might raise your taxes a few dollars. That's about it. 

     

    As an adult I've been through 3 President's. My life hasn't changed much, for better or worse. I go to work at the same job I had when Bush was President. The only difference today is there are a group of people that seem to be afraid. They fear for their lives and freedom. That's mostly middle aged white people. What happened? Why are they afraid? You speak of being silenced. Silenced how? What is your message? Who is hurting you? 

    Watch Fox news between 8-11 for a few days.  You'll understand

    its twitter. controlling a narrative that does not break tos is pretty authoritarian to me..if its true i dont tweet.

     

    so who does big tech support? 

     

    https://observer.com/2020/11/big-tech-2020-presidential-election-donation-breakdown-ranking/

     

    if the observer is too right wing a source. here's a quick cnn summary.

    if youd like to see a good discussion with jack dorsey himself see if you you can find joe rogan podcast with tim pool. its a very good conversation. unfortunately its no longer on youtube. he's on spotify for free if you have a account, but its 2 hrs so settle in. 

     

     

     

     

    No, seriously I just wanted to know which they are.  Fascists or Anti-fascists?  It seems you guys are trying to call them both

    I read that like you were talking about DeAndre Hopkins 

    The Repubs really didn't reach across the isle, but I hope we all hope it happens again.  I'm super pissed at Congressional Repubs but there's still work to be done.  The high end partisan politics has to stop

    Nah, he's an enabler. He owns it.

    That's some dirty ass stuff then, but I'd rather hear it from him.  The cops are putting their lives and their families future on the line for us.  That's what I don't get about the coup-laiders.  Somehow they are sooooo sure about fraud and the election is soooo important that if a few hundred or thousand brave young American soldiers and officers die it's worth it. I can't even wrap my head around that 

  8. Just now, BillStime said:

     

    I hope you're proud. You own this.

     

     

    C'mon man you know he doesn't condone that.  I'm mad at Trump supporters too, but they weren't the enablers.  It was the Republican Congress that created the Trump monster.  Not the average person who wanted to believe in this guy

    Like eliminate the filibuster on lower court justices?

     

    Like eliminate the filibuster completely to ram thru GOP Bills.

     

    Like use every shady way possible (Cornhusker Kickback, etc) to ram thru a health care bill that was sold as THE fix now its trash we need full universal care.

     

     

    Outside of judges you don't like, in what ways did the GOP seek more power in DC? 

     

    More importantly, what exactly did they push that was as drastic and divisive a reform as the ACA?  They cut your taxes?  

    Lets be honest.  As far as nuke moves go they're both pretty equal.

    I work with agencies at the State level in California every day. These departments are awash in cubicle workers...many of whom are just there to move the paper, or in some cases slow it down. They have virtually ZERO allegiance to the people they 'serve'.  They are just collecting a paycheck, and hoping nobody notices that there are as many as three people for every one that is actually needed to do the job.

    You're trying to make a word mean more than one thing.  They are public servants doing a public service, but you're making it sound like service more as it's their beholden duty than their job.  Don't try to twist my words.  I meant they do their job, just like anyone else.  If I wanted to say do their sovereign duty, I would I have.  I said they do their job

    That spineless weasil.

     

    It would have been karmic irony if those crazed MAGA dumbs had been able to give him a good wacking with their giant flags at the airport.

     

    He has had his head so far up Trump's backside, and as soon as he senses a political shift in the winds he runs the other way.

     

    I would have had to run and buy some popcorn for the show.

     

     

    Violence is a real possibility for some of these Republicans.  They're worse than Democrats, and a group of 10-12 won't have any trouble doing whatever the hell they want to Lindsay

    I'm going to quote my father-in-law and step-father-in-law here because I don't think this is a policy thing so much as a "stick it to da man" thing, which I'm seein reflected in some of your most recent posts as well:

     

    "He's an outsider who doesn't do things the Washington-way."

     

    Seriously.  That's what I believe it boils down to.  It's the essence of his popularity.

     

    And in terms of policy (to some degree, at least), his popularity primarily among the more institutional Republicans has to do with the sheer luck of being able to nominate so many federal and Supreme Court Judges.  But that was just the dumb luck of being President for 4 years, and getting 3 Supreme Court vacancies with a Republican controlled Senate led by a Senator with no integrity who blocked so many federal judges during the Obama Administration soas to limit his own nominations along with blocking Merrick Garland after Scalia's death for 10 months and then pulling a 180 when Ginsberg passed.

     

    Really it's probably judges.  Policy-wise that's why he's so popular.  Funny enough because it was luck.

     

    I also think there are plenty of reasons that fall underneath that.  White Extremists are probably 100% behind him, but no, I don't believe all Trump supporters are White Extremists.

     

    So many other roads to go down that aren't policy like "he says what he's thinking" or "there's no filter" or "look at his Empire..." etc.

     

    I'm sorry but with the ultimate unravelling of this week--just the final one (hopefully) of many--I think you guys need to just open your eyes.

    People just like Trump.  They wouldn't hate him if he didn't appoint as many judges or any of that nonsense. He's just 'their vision' of what a president should be.  The truth is the China tariffs didn't bring back jobs, and they aren't going to.  He didn't build the wall, and he never was going to.  The only thing that might stick is he's an outsider.  I know it appealed to me with Ross Perot

    Not like we didn't know this already but Rudy has completely lost his marbles.  Trump is a civilian now, and no one cares what he looks like good or bad.  What does Antifa gain by making Trump look bad??  A dirty look from the kid who brings him his chocolate cake at mar a lago???  Rudy is a lawyer, so why can't he see there's no motive.  He thinks ANYONE would believe these guys would risk getting SHOT or thrown in prison for 10-20 to make a civilian Trump "look bad".  Holy crap is he a bad lawyer.  Rudy has DEFINITELY earned a banhammer

    There are some people I just refuse to talk to, not because they have a political affiliation but because they won't drop it and I'm a relatively level headed guy. Most people just want to get laid and watch Netflix and raise their families but social media and media in general has warped our minds.

     

     

    Yeah, it's like people are consumed by it.  i must have been VERY naive when Obama was president.  Sure, I'd argue with my dad, cuz he's Korean war vet repub, but for the most part I had no idea people hated Obama until Trump arrived.  I'm old enough to remember when a few games of pong was enough.  Atari started to get my attention but we still played mad football and screwed around and stuff.  Now electronics is EVERYTHING

    They aren't interested in unity.

     

    Find one....one so called liberal here to first of all, define that, and second challenge them to say the following:

     

    "I 100% want Biden to reach across the aisle and work with the GOP and if he refuses and shows zero good faith (eliminates the filibuster, no clear compromise shown) I'll call it out."

     

     

    You won't get one person on the left to say that out loud.  

     

    Not.  One.  

    I'll do that.  I'm older so I remember Tip O'Neill and compromise.  The problem is that's not the culture in Washington.  I'm not sure it has a ton to do with individual citizens that are democrats

    They don't get it or they do and are just flat out gone. 

     

    There are at least 5 posters in this thread alone openly cheering the 2021 version of the Reichstag Fire in real time. 

     

    Silicon Valley just told the world it is actively going to Cooperate in working with the Democrat party and its version of "inciting violence."  

     

    You are an Un-American fascist if you support what they're doing today.  The same day Michelle Obama called for Trump to be de-platformed. 

     

     

    They just pushed the country into Civil War and don't even care bc well let's not question if the CHINESE ARE BEHIND this decision.  We know what that market means to Jack and Mark.

     

    Have any Chinese related accounts been suspended since the crackdown on the protesters in Hong Kong this week btw?  No?  Twitter didn't suspend business in China?  

    You can't possible be saying that this isn't about election fraud, and it's because social media loves democrats??  That's lunacy.  Trumps the one using social media to stir violence.  That's a fact, don't get it twisted

    When you go to work and look at your colleagues realizing that they voted for a different party, do you want to get revenge or do you just want to get a beer and move on with your life?

     

    All this division is exacerbated by media and technology.  

    Before Trump I wouldn't have even known hardly ANYONES political affiliation.  Now there's certainly a detectable amount of tension.  and yes, I believe it's because social media not only exacerbates it, but I have a more open view into their personal lives.  My work colleagues are like family too

    is this a joke? your tv newstations are nothing but propaganda. newspapers dont even bother to retract anymore. there was a reason big tech and tv blocked the biden story till after the election...OPPS sorry it has merit

     

    #walkaway was not propaganda it was ordinary testimonials 

     

    wake up.  

    I'm in the middle here.  The coup propoganda could very well be dangerous, but at the same time, people have a right to consume whatever news they want.

    I don't know what he thinks nor do I care but categorizing 70M + people as cultists is not a good idea for unity.

    Well, I'm wondering if we're actually in a civil war??  That's the only why I care.  As far as cult vs populist, well if he can feed them coup-laid, and they're chuggin it, then they are cultists.  All of a sudden I'm kinda concerned about what's really happening.  this may not have been a one n done thing

    I don't agree with the title.  I mean if he was smart he would have done exactly what he did, and gtfo of there.  I got news for these jokers next time, they better ALL BE ready to play, because they took out a lot of officers.  Next time it will be guns drawn, and no questions asked.  They are playing a very, very serious game.

    Trump may have a cult following but he's simply a populist.  70M + people voted for him.

    Do you think he feels they're his army?
