I think it hilarious that people actually fall for this idiotic leftist rhetoric. 

 

 

I think it's bizarre that you think a violent attempt to stop a crucial Constitutionally mandated process was not unprecedented. Can you come up with another example?

In any event, it's not likely it will be reopened now that the last guy in charge of it was fired...

No, I have never claimed or implied anything of the sort. Are you deflecting?  

I think the fact that Shokin was not doing his job is very pertinent to the discussion of why he was fired.

Another example of idiotic leftist rhetoric? Sure, how about Kamala playing her moronic chin-music in Florida about black history? There are people that actually believer her.

I was going to write "nice try at deflection" but actually, it's a pretty poor one.

Stop the deflection. Do you have any evidence that it was becoming permanent or not?

Stop the deflection. This coming from the master deflector himself. Hilarious.

This is ridiculous.  It has been explained to you many times that Shokin was removed from his office for not doing his job.  What part of that do you dispute or don't understand?

That the reality doesn't gel with Magadonian talking points.

John Bolton, who spent a year and a half as former President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor, says Trump "threatened the existence of NATO." He added that if Trump were to win a second term, he would likely pull the United States out of the alliance.

Political violence in polarized U.S. at its worst since 1970s

 

In contrast to the 1970s, much of today's political violence is aimed at people instead of property — and most of the recent deadly outbursts tracked by Reuters have come from the right.

Right. It's the fault of the murder victims. Maybe they should be prosecuted.

Perhaps you can explain to us what ‘lefty’ is doing exactly (or stoking, to use your words) to warrant this violence?

How does a lefty stoke violence without violence?

By stoking or poking it with a stick!

 

PS; And usually with loads of verbal/written diarrhoea attached!

Again: who is poking what with a stick? I’ve never heard of any ‘lefty’ poking anything with a stick. Give us an example.

I think it's sad that you just offer an insult without a rationale to back it up.

You would have to prove that by citing actual evidence you viewed. You know, independent proof.

Maybe you watched Tucker Carlson’s redacted footage? Or maybe you changed your mind, just like (Republican) representative Andrew Clyde? He was seen and photographed barricading a door in the House and cowering behind it, but just a few months later described the Jan. 6 riot as ‘a normal tourist visit’. He certainly didn’t seem to feel that way on January 6, cowering behind that door.

Anyone watching this unfold live on TV, on January 6, saw what it was: a mob of Trump supporters violently fighting their way into the Capitol, with a view of killing Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. They were told to fight like hell by their cult leader, and that’s what they did. And Trump watched it all happen and did nothing. He could have stopped it right away, by going live on national TV, but instead he watched it gleefully and did nothing to stop it for several hours. What a great guy!

More than 1,000 people have been charged for federal crimes by the Department of Justice including 10 convictions for seditious conspiracy, so what was it then?

Must have been all leftist judges, every last one of them conspiring with those darn liberals to frame Trump and his cronies.

Persecuting criminals is political persecution? Many of the judges doing the sentencing were conservative/Republican, some of them even appointed by Trump himself. You saying they were in on this as well, this grand scheme of ‘political persecution’?

I meant prosecuting criminals, of course, not persecuting criminals. Little slip of the pen….

No, but prosecuting rioters as if they were attempting to overthrow the government is. I understand you see it differently.  

In fact very few rioters were charged for any thing like insurrection.

But it is a very serious crime to attempt to violently interfere with the Constitutionally mandated transfer of power.
