... and in other news ...

Parler is back online.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/17/tech/parler-back-online/index.html

Biden's first act regarding a caravan of thousands of migrants headed to the USA is to tell them to "don't come".

Oh, it seems they've erected a wall around the Capitol. That's sorta weird considering the left claims walls don't work.

... To be precise, I am talking about Right-Wing Career Politicians, who understand the cyclical nature of Politics and what they can and cannot achieve in their lifetime, so I'll leave the rest up to you to understand.
If your goal is to become a "career politician" in the house or the senate, that requires being reelected a certain number of times.

The mental gymnastics required to tell people with a straight face, "losing = winning," just...my god. :wacko:

You believe that the BLM cause is valid and the DC riot cause wasn't.
One side doesn't want police brutality.
The terrorists that went to to the capital was not.
Tell me, did any of the BLM protestors place bombs?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/01/06/dc-protests-trump-rally-live-updates/
Did any of them outright want to kill government officials? The two sides are not equivalent in the slightest
The "protesters were out to murder" is a false narrative being concocted by the leftist lying media who simply found some posts online to support their lies and went with them.
https://www.tmz.com/videos/2021-01-09-010921-rioters-target-pence-4909001/
Yeah sure, "kill Mike Pence" definitely doesn't mean that they were out to kill.
Just casually chanting it like a normal angry mob.
perhaps they really wanted tea time with Mike Pence.
There's no hard evidence that anyone who was arrested was trying to kill "people in federal power"
see clip above
BLM riots have been going on every single week since this summer and I don't see your side condemning them
Why should I?
Again, one side fucking planted bombs, one didn't.
Also where it was planted also matters.
DC riot wasn't because you didn't agree with it. That's simply your opinion.
Oh I'm sorry. I forgot. I actually care about democracy. Perhaps killing democratically elected leaders, is somehow. idk undemocratic. OH, and before you try to state, since I've heard this defense before
"Well you see, they didn't kill any leaders. so it couldn't be proven"
explain again why pipe bombs were placed in the capital? Idk about you but that shows explicit intent.
Also, if your going to argue "well it was just one person"
considering the size of the group, and how many where in there, it doesn't take much to realize that would mean a fuck ton of people were complicit with the idea of bombing elected officials
Edit: would of found a normal video from say, youtube. but finding the footage, and let alone digging out the part I was looking for specifically, is a rather challenging thing to do

You believe that the BLM cause is valid and the DC riot cause wasn't. That's an opinion. Yes, it may be shared by many of your peers, but there's half of the country that didn't agree with the BLM bullshit including me. In our eyes both causes were stupid and yes, if you're trying to compare ransacking offices to burning down buildings you're logic is failing you.



The "protesters were out to murder" is a false narrative being concocted by the leftist lying media who simply found some posts online to support their lies and went with them. I'm not a mind reader and neither are you so either of us can't say what was motivating most of the rioters, but the DC protests had 100,000+ peaceful people and only a few hundred started to riot. That's the same logic your side uses when comparing peaceful BLM protests to the rioting, looting, arson and murder you side did. So why isn't your same logic applied? Oh yeah, the hypocrite factor and double standards of the left.

There's no hard evidence that anyone who was arrested was trying to kill "people in federal power" as many of them simply ransacked a few offices and in very few cases some property was removed. There's also no difference between members of Congress or your "people in federal power" than any other citizen in the country. Just because they are lawmakers doesn't make them more important than you or me. So yes, arson and grand theft is much worse than ransacking a few offices.

BLM riots have been going on every single week since this summer and I don't see your side condemning them yet when we have one single riot from the Conservative side it's some big fucking deal. I understand that the politicians are all butthurt because they ran like little bitches as the rioting personally came to their front door, but that doesn't make ransacking a few offices outweigh months of arson, looting, murdering all from your side.

So if your eyes BLM riots were justified because you agreed with the cause and the DC riot wasn't because you didn't agree with it. That's simply your opinion. Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but there's 70 some million people that didn't agree the BLM protests and riots were justified, especially considering the motivating factor was the death of a criminal who overdosed on drugs while being restrained for resisting arrest.
Hey I feel bad.. you wrote all that
but just one picture. Made your argument invalid..

... Those that had the leverage to pull off all of the aforementioned obviously have the prerequisites, in spades.

I'm starting to think you see a Political Party as a Monolith, which is something best shed as soon as possible.
It is as Multi-generational as the Population.

To be fair, the Right Wing played their 4-Dimensional Chess intelligently and understood the synergy that can be had between Corporations and Career Politicians; Head of State is a temporary position in comparison.

Instead of repeating myself, I'll leave this for a second read, which'll probably help understand it better, now that I've had to circle back and explain the obvious.

You call tell Biden is love by the People when he needs a freaking army marching and setting up walls on what I'm calling now Fortress DC
Trump never call the army to march for him in DC
4 years of the Biden dictatorship will be interesting

Oh, it seems they've erected a wall around the Capitol. That's sorta weird considering the left claims walls don't work.

this is some low-brow mouth breather level bait. you're legitimately trying to compare a wall less than 2 miles long, actively patrolled by capitol police to a wall to one that would be 1,954 miles long. that's almost 2000 times larger, and like 6 feet taller across the entire length. the fact your would even try to make that argument seriously speaks to your level of critical thinking skills.

also, a non-edited headline for the caravan is
"Incoming Biden administration to migrant caravan: Don't come, you won't get in immediately".

Honduran's seeking asylum would need to wait for the Biden administration to set their immigration policies. that takes time, and we are in a fucking pandemic so they are probably safer waiting until vaccines are distributed.

for context:

The Biden transition official, however, warned migrants against coming to the U.S. during the early days of the new administration, telling NBC that while “there’s help on the way,” now “is not the time to make the journey.”


“The situation at the border isn’t going to be transformed overnight,” the official told the outlet.


“We have to provide a message that health and hope is on the way, but coming right now does not make sense for their own safety…while we put into place processes that they may be able to access in the future,” the official said.

These people are at the Honduras-Guatemala border, they are 4000+km (2485+ miles) away from the USA-Mexico border, traveling on foot. it will take them months to even get to the US border.

also it's like 10k people which is fine cause 400k Americans have died to covid so we have some more room.

Jesus clearing the bullshit is tiring.

gee, I wonder why he needs to do that? maybe it's because the Trump supporters are such absolute sore losers that they're attempting a fucking coup d'etat, having already attacked the Capitol in a (failed) attempt to threaten electors out of certifying the election, and thus fortress-level defense is necessary to ensure the man isn't assassinated before he can even take office?

Old news. They're replacing that 8ft fence with a much more serious 12ft one now.



What impresses me is not that they think they need this, and not the whole irony of the left claiming fences/walls don't work and then building them. No, what impresses me is how fucking quick they can get this shit done when they want to.

Still not a win, even for McConnell or any Republicans who did retain their seats, as they get downgraded to the minority party. Bernie Sanders becoming Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee is a waking nightmare for them.

And who's to say Trump is done losing elections for them? If he keeps running his mouth through 2022, the Republican party might still be able to find new lows yet.

That's not an opinion... It's a fact that Republicans were lied to! Get over it!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The "protesters were out to murder" is a false narrative being concocted by the leftist lying media who simply found some posts online to support their lies and went with them.

Uhmm... So hang Pence and kill Pelosi was just part of a song or a joke that they kept screaming? Your an idiot, wake up and stop being so ignorant!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

There's no hard evidence that anyone who was arrested was trying to kill "people in federal power" as many of them simply ransacked a few offices and in very few cases some property was removed

So video evidence of them saying that isn't enough proof for you? Again... Your ignorant!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

BLM riots have been going on every single week since this summer and I don't see your side condemning them yet when we have one single riot from the Conservative side it's some big fucking deal.

Maybe because people didn't die in BLM and because they aren't attacking the democracy of America... Again ignorant comments from Weiner boy!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So if your eyes BLM riots were justified because you agreed with the cause and the DC riot wasn't because you didn't agree with it.

Do you not realise how ridiculous it is to attack the actually democracy of America... Your pretty much going against democracy because a proven liar is telling everyone that he won when he can't even prove it in court. Trump is going against democracy and trying to get everyone to go against democracy as well... This country is made on democracy. Trump would turn it into Russia or China. Ignorant!

Quite a few people did die during those riots. Burned to death, beaten/kicked/stomped to death, shot to death, stabbed to death. Some of it caught on live camera, and nobody doing a fucking thing except cheering it on.

Apparently between 12 to 19, but no firm answer of deaths. Also no explanation of those deaths... Were they cops who killed those people or was it Republicans like that kid who shot a black person in the street with his AR-15 and walked away past the cops...?!

Fact-checking claim about deaths, damage from Black Lives Matter protests

Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.statesman.com/amp/113878088


At least 25 Americans were killed during protests and political unrest in 2020

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/31/americans-killed-protests-political-unrest-acled

@Hanafuda sorry but there's no such information regarding people being burned alive and the shit you just said. Why don't you back your allegations up with proof. I've tried to find that info but it looks like the only being retorted is that every prison who died was shot.

This isn't comprehensive, took about 10 minutes. If you were following the news when these things were happening, you'd know about and remember the events I'm referring to. Although there was one event where a young man trying to defend his store was beaten quite apparently to death. And by that I mean head stomped, limbs pointing in all the directions, etc, left unconscious and laughed at by the perps. But I was surprised to find out while pulling up these links that he survived. I couldn't find details about his condition ... could be paralyzed for life, could be brain damaged. But he didn't die.
