Just like how I talk about double agents and what people would call conspiracy theories, I was told right think there. Anything else must be wrong think and is nothing
Yeah you shouldn't take his ramblings too seriously, he thinks EHS is real. You know, like Chuck McGill but without the genius intellect.

Do you still deny the palestian genocide?
I can't deny something that doesn't exist. Unless you think you know better than Amnesty International, or the Red Cross. I don't think you do so yeah, gonna stick with the big guns and leave you in the dust.
Don't know what that is
Yes you do, liar. Even set up a group to talk about that nonsense, unless you took it down. More talk about your conspiracy nonsense as well?

If Merrick Garland doesn't want to be responsible for the end of democracy in the US, he must prosecute. Bad enough Democrats didn't prosecute GWB and Cheney for war crimes, which is what resulted in the Trump presidency, but now it's do or die. Republicans have been setting the stage for a second, successful coup ever since the moment the first one failed.

Have you watched the hearings yourself? If not, why? Was it because someone told you to not watch it? If so, why did they tell you to not watch it?
Not many people are watching. It's an illegitimate committee based on the House's own rules. The American people are more concerned with inflation and food and gas prices.

We live in a constitutional republic, not a democracy. Please go learn the difference.

20 million people. that's football levels.
Football games are broadcast on one channel. The J6 hearings are being broadcast on all networks, CNN and MSNBC. One would think that hearings concerning the attempted "coup" and "end of democracy" would generate greater interest in a country of 256+ million adults. Less than 10% of adults even care about these hearings.

Then less than 9% care about football. Which sounds really stupid. and this is where statistical scope can come in.
Since they're likely measuring only cable viewers, not people who say, watch on youtube. Which means that it's only representing cable viewers. And it's more than 20 million, by the way. That's a low ball estimate.

They aired it on all the broadcast networks in prime time, not just cable news stations. These numbers are what these networks pull on any given night. By comparison, presidential debates pull in between 63 million to 73 million viewers.

The key word is republic. That's the part that you are not understanding. Go do some googling and read up on the topic.
Let's be honest: it's not a democracy or a republic at this point. It's an oligarchy and/or a kleptocracy. The anti-abortion zealots give the oligarchs exactly what they want.

What got taken away is a money stream that Democrat politicians were receiving thru Planned Parenthood killing babies to the tune of $20 million a year in contributions. I can see why you are so pissed at this ruling.

Oh... oh snap, they found us out! Big money in baby murder! Our nest egg is going to dry up! No wonder Musk overtook Bezos as the richest man in the world, without fresh baby blood the Amazon empire cannot compete!

Wait, no, I forgot how that is absolutely insane. I forgot that people like this are complete loony toons who are disconnected from reality at best and sad brainwashed NPCs more often than not. Corrupt corporations bankrolls both sides, to be fair, but the right always seems to be caught taking the majority of it, and the right is also the defender of policies that ensure the rich stay rich.

Meanwhile they support the increase of mass shootings of actual people, including kids.
