The good news for Democrats is now Gavin Newsom can be banned from running for President, due to his participation in an insurrection. |

I suppose the good news is that no one will ever take the Gadsden flag crew seriously again. Moon labe? Lmao. They’d gift wrap them for the government and put on some sexy lingerie for the government agents. |
NP. I think the point is that since all of the J6ers were pardoned, and we’re even willing to pay those who were clearly behaving illegally for the consequences of their actions, it is clear that violent insurrection is ok with the current Republican administration. It’s not that it’s actually ok for liberals - it’s the fact that it is clearly ok for Republicans that is a problem. |
I don't know how much clearer I can be: the J6 protesters who were in any way involved in violence against law enforcement should serve lengthy sentences in harsh conditions. There is no double standard here. I quite literally would be okay with death penalty for anyone who attacks a police officer, regardless of what "cause" they claimed to do it for. And while I think putting people in prison for several years for trespassing is overkill, the standard has been set. The DOJ needs to use facial recognition on the crowds in LA and pursue the harshest punishments allowable by law for interfering with our democracy. If they so much as kicked a rock, I want to see them brought up on terrorism charges. |
LOL! Where are all the conservative gun nutters now complaining about the federal government exerting its power excessively over the people? Isn't the main reason many of them give for needing guns to protect against potential government overreach or tyranny? |
I was in the Er with my husband and this 14 year old girl was drunk and under police control because she hit a police officer. I think you are a black and white thinker and you should see that one size almost never fits all. Live a little, embrace the fact that situations are different and call for different punishments. |
The J6ers are all pardoned. But you are also saying that participating in an insurrection on the date of the vote certification by going into the Capitol building to disrupt and change the vote certification is the same as protesting ICE removals. It's hard to take anything you say seriously, if you believe those two events are equivalent. |
You sound unhinged. Isn't your last demand a bit extreme? |
We put Glenn Beck watching grannies in prison for a long time for entering the Capitol and harming no one. There needs to be equality under the law. |
They are absolutely equivalent. Our politicians are not some elite class that need more protection than our police. |
Our government, and counting votes in our democratic elections, is fundamental to this country. Every single one of us knows this. |
Yes, different standards for juveniles. And my preferences around criminal punishments are shaped by my years in the Middle East. Since you're wanting to "globalize the intifada," and more and more Arabic cultural concepts are in the mainstream since Palestine is the cause de jour, you'll eventually see it my way. |
NP and native Washingtonian - I invite anyone who claims that the rioters were on an unticketed tour to go to the Capitol any weekday and just try to walk on with a flagpole and see how far you get. |
This, of course, is a lie. |
