Kenneth White Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 17 hours ago, heybruce said: I see. "Lamestream" media covers both reports of election irregularities and how the reports are resolved, while "outrage" media endlessly repeats the reports without ever describing how the reports were dealt with. I take it you prefer outrage media. It probably is more entertaining. Have you ever considered getting your news by reading instead of watching television? To answer your question, I do, but most lean heavily to the left. Both lamestream and cable media are WPOS in my opinion as is the written media. You have to listen to and read them to come up with your own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ozimoron Posted June 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2022 I know that at least one Trump apologist here has tried to claim that the protesters at the Capitol building on Jan 6 were peaceful and unarmed and even challenged the evidence that some of the protesters had guns. While most of those who did carry weapons would have left undetected with those weapons, at least one didn't.

I don't think anyone here has argued it was not a violent attack have they? Some have arguedthat it was not an armed insurrection, but that was disproven when it was shown a few people had pepper-spray, baseball-bats and sticks.

Jingthing Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 One felony conviction is all it takes. The problem for Garland is not the lack of potential felony indictments against Mr. Trump but rather whether he has the cajones to set an awesomely consequential new precedent -- to pursue charges against an ex president.

I do not understand what the big risk would be in bringing charges against Trump. Can you explain it? Win or lose he would be a hero to the left, and no one cars what people on the right think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so when I asked who in the Capital had guns, you assume I meant who inside the Capital owned guns but did not bring them. That is not what I meant, what I meant was, who bought a gun inside the Capital. The answer is no one. Is that more clear? In any event, I've already conceded it was an armed insurrection when it was shown a few people had pepper-spray, baseball-bats and sticks. The fact that no one thought to bring their guns with them just speaks to the incompetency of Trump and how poorly he planned the government takeover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
