I don't defend Biden. He's not my candidate. Here's a couple of checklists for you: https://theconversation.com/so-you-want-to-be-an-autocrat-heres-the-10-point-checklist-125908Rawhide said:you live in an alternate world. First, Biden is throwing money around like he's a drunken sailor on liberty. Second, the most deficit spending award goes to FDR. Hell, obummer is #3 on the list - try again *******.TexasScientist said:Yet you support the biggest deficit spending, large government, and most authoritarian president in history - so farRawhide said:on the contrary, I support VERY limited gov't and have been consistent on that. You on the other hand, happen to be just another triggered snowflake pretending to be a RepublicanTexasScientist said:Insurrection doesn't require being armed. Some were armed with weapons. Your leader the Shaman was armed with spear. Although I'm not a liberal (opposing the 1/6 insurrection fits with being a pro-democracy coservative), I suspect you're a fascist.Rawhide said:If it was an insurrection, they would've been armed, they all would've entered the building and they probably would've burned it to the ground. You know, exhibited the same behavior took place over the summer after politicians like maxine waters and the media like CNN whipped you libs into a frenzy.TexasScientist said:It wasn't a random gathering. It was an insurection of morons, called to Washington, whipped up, and mobilized by a moron.Canon said:Sam Lowry said:It discredits those who excuse it, and denial is a form of excuse. I mention it only because you seemed fairly credible until recently.whiterock said:Res Ipsa Loquitur. The allegation of insurrection is so patently absurd that it discredits those who utter it.Sam Lowry said:You obviously don't believe this. Curious why you post it.whiterock said:That stumbles at ontology. For a few dozens, it was a poorly conceived and organized effort to disrupt a process. For the other 99.99% of those present, it was less than a BLM protest. And even then, not even the instigators made the merest attempted to wrest power from the established order, which is the sine qua non of an insurrection.TexasScientist said:It's a classic example, although it was poorly conceived and organized. For some it was planned, and others spontaneous.whiterock said:The problem with your reasoning is in the first sentence. Nobody staged an insurrection on Jan 6th.Aliceinbubbleland said:
I just keep saying and most far right deny but if BLM's had staged the insurrection on Jan 6th you would be ****ting all over yourselves.
At least Liz has the courage to try and remain constant unlike other Senate and House leaders flip flopping all over themselves in condemning Trump, then turning around and denying anything happened.
I don't like the hearings. We have enough of those. But anyone who thinks we were justified in storming the Capital is bat **** crazy.
The unseriousness of the allegation is so outlandish it justifies removing from positions of responsibility those who propagate such nonsense. Ergo the decision to move Cheney to the backbenches.
You exemplify the discredit he cites. No thinking person would honestly and seriously attempt to characterize 6 Jan as anything other than a band of morons walking their protest into a public building and taking selfie's with police or in offices in which they didn't belong.
Anyone who claims an insurrection took place against the most powerful nation on earth, perpetrated by random, disorganized protesters with zero firearms, where the only killing was that of a protester by an unnamed policeman, is either a partisan liar or an imbecile.
The libs know it wasn't an insurrection, but you keep going with that narrative because your handlers tell you to, plus it helps execuse egregious behavior by democrats and liberals last year.
Third, so what makes Trump the most authoritarian president in history? The fact that he got the personal mandate, you know when obama forced people to buy a produc (or be fined), eliminated? Did he force people to give the gov't money for a promise that they would get it back upon retirement? Did he jail gay people for being gay, black people for being black?
Protecting America's border isn't authoritarian, it's the #1 job (or should be) of the gov't.
Get over yourself. You're just a triggered clown that can't get off Trump's dick. You're a broken record. Time for some new material
