Ted will run for President and he appeals to the cucks that still love the Cheney, Rubio and Romney's.


Disagree. I wouldn't group Ted with Cheney, Rubio and Romney at all. I could see myself voting for any of those 3, but not Ted.

Are you arguing that anyone in the media has ever called *any* of the violence coming from BLM riots?

When did this become a discussion about the media?

What? He's the smartest of the bunch.

Cheney has lost her fricking mind.

Rubio is slime. Pure political grifter. Romney is slimier than Rubio. If Romney starts going hawk then he's entering the John McCain level of political hell.

Violent, but not close to as violent as BLM. Anyone in the main media wringing their hands over those terrorists?

Both reached the threshold (in my world view) to condemn.

Do you want me to condemn BLM's riots with capitalization or something, for effect?

you led right into what i said. Cruz isn't stupid he knows all those you named and Nikki will be rejected; and he is the alternative because DeSantis isn't running. It's all about Ted, it always has been but some people here fought tooth and nail he was mom and apple pie great.

Ted is best suited for SCOTUS but he would rule like Kav not Scalia.

right now I support Rand Paul, final answer until 2024. i reserve the right to phone a friend.

That's fine. But, there are several degrees of difference.

Don't care.

I don't know about that. DeSantis could lead to a Republican domination if 2022 goes as badly as we expect for the DEMs and this MMT-based inflation keeps affecting people. He's one of the few people with national profile who can say "look at what I did to combat the covid insanity" with actual skins on the wall.

If Covid is still a major issue in 2024, DeSantis has to be the leader.

No question that many of those qualify as well. There are unhinged morons on both ends of the political spectrum. Though I would point out that in many of the BLM "protests" the violence was to some extent taking advantage of the situation to commit pure vandalism and thievery.


I remember watching a stream of one from Milwaukee when Obama was President. Every time the police would show up, a black person would get on a bullhorn and say "white people to the front". Every single time, they would go to the front like good little sheep and take their place in the meat shield.

There was a "media" company called Unicorn Riot that would show up and stream every one of these riots. They would literally be trying to lie about what was happening, even though you could see/hear it going down with their stream.

I don't believe for a second that these aren't highly coordinated attacks that are being led by Communists. It's more than a few trouble makers in the crowd. Those pallets of bricks don't get there by themselves.

As soon as you asked "why not both?" How about answering it.

This thread is about the perception of the events from individual posters, not the media.

Talking about the media is a non sequitur.

Trumpkins have gotten as bad as progressives when it comes to non sequiturs and these hot topics. You just want to meander all over the place and ignore the actual discussion at hand. It's the same as the extremely narrowly-tailored questions that flat earthers use to "prove" their side.

These are toxic tools in discussion and only create obfuscation and not actual dialogue/discussion.

There’s some violence there. There’s some violence at an average NFL match as well, and not just on the field. “Violent, terrorist attack on the Capitol” is mostly wrong.
This. What exactly is the big deal about a little hitting, macing, overpowering some cops? Come on. So what, they bashed some windows and broke into a federal building. Hell, we’ve all gotten whisky drunk and done worse at our tailgates on Saturday. Give them a break.

We all back the blue here but everyone slips up every once and a while.

When you see the establishment Rs (Cruz/Swamp critters) make such statements it's an indication they are distancing themselves from Trump because they are going to do everything in their power to make sure Trump is not the nominee in 2024. I'm not real pumped about Trump being the nominee in 2024 but he's got my vote without hesitation if he ends up as the front runner.

I love that you requested "just yes or no will do" earlier in the thread and would rather spend a couple of paragraphs dodging the question, instead of giving a simple answer.

The media molds perception of events for a lot of simple minded people. Why does the media, out of the dozens and dozens of BLM riots in cities all across the country over the years, refuse to call a spade a spade when it comes to actual riots... while throwing words around like "insurrection, deadly riots, attack on the Capitol, blah, blah, blah without hesitation, time and time again?

The hypocrisy and double standards are off the chart. But, for some reason, you don't seem to give a frick about that side of the issue.

Do you think everyone who protested at the Capitol last year was violent?

If not, what do you think should happen to those who entered the building and didn't riot?
