The only person shot was an unarmed Trump supporter. You need to try harder.

 

They were going to block verification of the vote, dispose of Mike Pence, and have Chuck Grass let declare that the states need to do something to put Trump back in power. Alternate electors and all that.

 

If you actually believe that would have worked, you're as nutty as any Proud Boy, IMO.

Guns were brought to the insurrection.

 

Do you disagree?

Agree.   I'm finding hard to believe the Dems would allow biden to get the nomination to run, given his obvious onset of Alzheimer's.  Leave's them a few option at the convention:

... allow, and let the ticket stand as is, biden / harris, then remove biden

... appoint a whole new ticket

... keep harris and new running mate/VP selection, and hope the idiots vote for another mixed race president, and a woman to boot, no matter the failures of her past.  Just to be oh so progressive.  Worked before with obama, and almost with clinton.   Now they would get both.

You seem rather detached from reality.

 

Tell you what, do you have any comments on Trump's recent mental breakdowns at his rallies? Are you aware of them?

My post stated that guns were brought to the insurrection, but you responded orthogonally with a comment about someone being shot.

 

What's your point?

If you think it was a crazy plan, don't blame me, blame Trump and his mooks who thought it up.

Proof is required that Trump thought it up. No proof means it's not true.

The point was that the only person using a gun was a policeman. Mentioning guns that were not in evidence and were not used is just deflection.

[Excogitator]

A great guy and a great actor, DeNiro.

 

My highlights from the interview:

 

When asked if he would ever play Trump:

'Never. There is not one redeeming thing about Trump'

 

'It's like he wants to do the most horrible things he can think of, in order to, what? Get a rise out of us..?'

 

'Trump isn't just a bully, he's a stupid bully'

[Hanaguma]

It's a bit pathetic really. DeNiro has spent too much time playing tough guys in movies, now he thinks he really IS a tough guy. Nah, he's just a guy that memorizes and reads the words of others in front of a camera. Even funnier, I heard DeNiro criticizing Trump for not having any 'real world experience'.....this coming from a man who has spent his life in the pretend world of Hollywood. Spoken about a man who ran a real estate business for decades in New York City.

 

Self parody doesn't do justice.

No guns were fired by protesters, nor did any protester carry a gun into the Capitol building.

DeNiro is a giant. A true American hero. He speaks the kind of truth others are afraid to utter, for fear of prosecution and persecution from a petty, very angry, and very bitter man, if the tragic outcome happens, and he is re-elected. 

 

Celebrities of his stature have a pulpit, people worship them these days, and he is simply using that platform to speak his mind. Thankfully, that is still legal and permitted. Kudos to him for his courage and conviction. I agree with nearly everything he has to say about Sleepy Don.

One protestor fired a gun.

 

But my point remains: guns were brought to the insurrection, irregardless of how you try to change the subject.

That's hilarious. Who, particularly in the entertainment industry, is afraid to speak out against Trump?

 

It takes no courage and conviction to spew hate to raucous applause.

It's as if you were speaking about Trump himself, you literally could not have been closer to the mark if you're speaking of hatred and Trump in the same sentence. 

 

That is just to the man is, that's who he's always been. My guess is that he was just a foul, discontent child, and he's been that way ever since. As a matter of fact he's still a foul discontent child, what am I saying?

[Flyguy330]

Those of us who are not Americans just look at the state of the US today and shake our heads. It has always been a slightly raucous place where anything crazy could happen, but of late it is becoming positively deranged. The response to the Gaza protests is further evidence of it. Only a year or two ago politicians AND the police were 'taking a knee' to rioters busily burning down their cities. They were 'understandable' and 'justified' rioters. They were 'kosher'.  Now the very uttering of a word of criticism of Israel can result in immediate arrest and charges of anti-semitism. Total hypocrisy.

 

Biden is senile. Trump is a lunatic. But while Biden is a product of 'the establishment' Trumps attraction was his averred hatred of the establishment, the Swamp. Trump is a symptom of the anger gripping the American public. They KNOW something is wrong, they SEE and FEEL the problems around them daily, and they CRAVE change. A quick solution. They thought Trump was it. Turned out he was a big disappointment -and HE knows he was too.

 

If he gets re-elected he's probably going to go totally haywire, because now he has a hitlist, and he has learned some lessons. The Americans who really WANT change like that will surely vote for him, not because they like him, or even want him. But they want to demolish the established order as it has played out for decades. They don't want the alternative to Trump. They don't want the wokery, the insane gender debates, the mass illegal immigration etc etc. Many are willing to give him his second run, probably BECAUSE of his newly hardened agenda rather than in spite of it. He is literally The Nuclear Option.

 

To RdN I'd say - you are very right, if he gets in there's gonna be hell to pay. But this is the distillation of decades of misrule and disenfranchisement by 'the political establishment' in America. Were you happy with that Bob? Did you speak out about that?

Something had to give. Trump is it.

You have some knowledge of world events, so I’ll commend you@flyguy330  ,so thanks.

Its hard for me to find any good in politicians & elites who condone open borders and 

globalization of a one government entity , such as the European  Union while destroying traditional values of the middle class in my country.

biden handlers have gone to far left !

Trump knows he can’t fix it in 4 years!

That being  said he’ll lay the foundation for others who believe in America First values.

God save the Republic

Okay, none of the protestors fired a gun inside the Capital building, and none of the protesters was shown to have carried a gun into the capital builtlding.

The insurrectionists didn't guns to stop the vote certification or to capture members of Congress, so your point is irrelevant.

Do you agree with me disagreeing with you?  And why is that?

 

Do you agree that you should be bringing up the January 6 th demonstrations in every third thread you post in?  I disagree.

 

Do you agree that the fact of you bringing up January 6th an additional 20 more times than you already have is going to change the outcome of January 6th?  In what way?

 

Do you agree that January 6th will have little or no effect on election day?

 

Are you saying January 6th could have an effect on Trump’s current trial?

Three years and no one convicted of insurrection. How would stopping the certification change anything? 

 

In any event, I did not ask if you thought it was relevant, I know the only thig relevant to you is to get Trump. 

 

What I asked if you disagreed that none of the protestors fired a gun inside the Capital building, and none of the protesters was shown to have carried a gun into the capital building. 

 

Hey, I bet you're still hoping to get you loan forgiven for your teacher degree, yes?

Your standard MO is to chop up a crime into discrete actions and then arguing that since the individual actions in themselves were not crimes, then the entirety wasn't really a crime:

 

"Your honor, Mr. Dahmer is accused of using a knife to kill his victims.

 

He invited people to his house. Where is it illegal to invite people to your house?

 

Where is it illegal to buy a knife? 

 

He gave people sleeping pills.

 

Where is that illegal?"

George Floyd was killed for passing counterfeit money.  Apparently that is worthy of the death penalty, per MAGA types.
