This guy gets it.
Not surprising that both recently left their long time employers. Go against the narrative and you’re a problem.

They most certainly were according to numerous news reports in the following days. Why do you think the GA GOP suddenly thought they needed an extra 8k poll watchers for a Senate run off out of the blue? Highly doubt that was just coincidence.


Please provide me a link that shows they were not allowed to view in the same way dems were in any of the states.

And I don't know about the runoff but would guess those were needed because the presidential election watchers were for just that.

That one goes both ways. Hell, you just got finished calling leftists subhuman.


In the same vein, every leftist thinks every center-right R a piece of shite and every right-winger thinks every center-left D is a piece of shite. The more center politicians ain't gonna throw away those votes though if they can possibly help it. It is like when Trump pretended to not know who David Duke was, Trump isn't a white supremacist or white nationalist but right or wrong he wasn't going to shun the Stormfront vote but his policies weren't beholden to them despite some wanting to paint that picture.

Perhaps if that was the context. But simply saying Trump is trash around here has been proven to be met w vitriol. Any deviation from the echo chamber is considered some weird personal attack. It's humorous, though, and I don't mind.

Not the type of historical fact you want to be tied to.


Anyone who forcefully and/ or unlawfully enters our nation's capital buildings should be shot in the face. Kind of important buildings, kind of important people. Use deadly force to protect it.

I defended mainstream Democrats until about 4 years ago. When the SJW's took over the left, there was no sanity anymore.

There are no moderate Democrats, or liberals..left. Liberalism is being carried by the independents and libertarians.

Roger, I know you’ve been a supporter of tax and spend liberals and I truly appreciate you doing this.

The fact that we have career politicians that become very wealthy despite never having a real job in their life is a problem to me.


Honestly, why aren't term limits a thing yet? I don't know a single person on either side of the political spectrum that is against this. What will it take for this to become a thing already.

Within reason. As long as they understand economics and the limits of such actions.

They aren't insane like progressives.

Progs attacked the WH months ago

I'm for shooting anyone not welcome in a home, business or other.

Strangely government buildings are generally "public"

Lol, really?

I don’t condone trespassing, but those offices are supposed to represent the people.

And they’ve housed some of the most corrupt deals in history. They have blood on their hands.

Either that or decentralize the government and return power to the states the way it was intended. It'll never happen though.

Bingo

The USA is 360 million individuals. You cannot represent 360 million people with two parties, much less one government.

Break the Feds down to the basics, move bureaucrats out of DC, return power to State and Local levels.

Let people decide on a State or local level what government they want.

I guess I’ll be an independent idiot because both major parties in this country can go to hell, this has been building long before Trump even announced he was running for President and it looks like its finally coming to a head. Who knew how great we had it in the 80’s and 90’s because it’s been downhill from there.

Condoning trespassing? It wasn't closed down for the night.

They broke in while both chambers were in session

This is breaking in (twitter)

It is the center of our government. Let's go to the "extreme" and imagine that 200 of those people were wearing massive bomb vests. We cool letting those people enter the chambers and get within feet of our governing bodies? Im not. Put turbans on every one of them. What would your opinion be then?

Fact is if people are breaking doors and windows to get at our lawmakers, they're up to no good and that's not the time for discretion.
