I think that's enough about George Floyd now, this isn't relevant in context of the election or the current situation, and entirely off-topic. I'll be deleting any comments not pertaining to the 2020 elections going forward.

Trump is your President if you're a USA citizen. Biden will be a couple of weeks. I'm not part of any moronic movement that denies the President "isn't my President". I'm a citizen of the USA so Trump is my President now and Biden will be a couple of weeks.
Bruh. So, like, you undermined yourself when you said this:
They still claim to this day Trump isn't/wasn't their President. If they can spend 4 years claiming Trump wasn't the President of the USA including impeaching Trump over simply winning then I think my side has the right to do the same.
Or is there a very small distinction between those statements that you'll use to act like you're being consistent? Oh and bonus points if your justification doesn't involve the tu quoque fallacy. That means you're not allowed to say "the dems did it so the repubs can too.

Edit: Ah, he left. Anyway, how 'bout them protestors!? Crazy, right?

With that said everyone. It was fun. Like I said I just wanted to sign up to point out how hypocritical the Liberal left is being over this entire protesting/rioting being done by the Conservative right. I've said all I've needed to say and I guess I have an account now so if I need console modding help down the road I won't have to create one to ask for help. Take care! God bless the USA. Oh, and Trump won in 2016 and he is your President (if you're a USA citizen). :P

I condemned the violence during the BLM protests, I'll condemn the protests today. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I also condemn the lack of social distancing in any of the mass gatherings in 2020.

I'm not responsible for any behavior of any "liberal left". Do you take legal and moral responsibility for everyone who shares your political views? The crazies with guns tend to be on the right, you would have a lot to answer for.

Take care! God bless the USA.

I don't have a god, I don't know who your god is but my understanding of the major religions in the USA there isn't one who would be looking favorably on your behavior.

He was the president of the united states. One of a very few presidents that failed to gain a second term. Because enough people didn't consider him their president.

@Foxi4 you really just allowed a Burner account to incite violence? Great Modding!
I wouldn't pin that on Foxi. We don't have proof that it was an alt and unless someone reported one of his comments for the mods to investigate then it wasn't even on their radar.

Who's they? I don't know of a single person, personally, that ever said that. Stop looking at 'leftist owned' compilations. Meanwhile you have 100k people storming the capitol when Trump loses

Perhaps it wasn't deleted because it's not an alt account. I can see a bit more than the average bear, but moderation procedures are strictly confidential and not discussed publicly. Needless to say though, if there was any evidence of it being an alt, it wouldn't be here.

The argument that only democratic protestors are violent isn't holding up too well at the moment. The protestors are literally breaching the capitol building right now, standing outside the senate chamber, and issuing bomb threats.
The “You lost, get over it” crowd is having a hard time getting over their loss.

The 2 and a half party political system has always been a joke. To have the people constantly fight over whos ideals are correct based off capitalism and what better for the greater good but never be satisfied. I personally voted so that the system would fail and burn itself down. Because a executioner will never hang himself the government can never "fix itself" with more democracy . The house has to be burned down to the foundation before it can be rebuilt. Wasting energy putting good money over bad. The "united" part of united states is a publicly correct buzz word. We have never been united unless during a world war. And that is more out of fear than pride. Thus me watching the shit show on tv today makes me smile like heath ledgers joker and slow clap. Because a revolution is afoot and the powers that fear that see it comming. Remember media has never been 100% truth based. There is always a political bias. Thus what your told to believe mindlessly and blindlessly will never be true. Its always to serve a higher agenda usually leading to lining the pockets of someone.

Anyone here ever hear that old George Carlin joke, "You ever notice how other people's stuff is shit, and your shit is stuff!?!?!"

Apparently that's how CNN is with "rioters" and "protesters." All depends on which side of the political aisle you stand.

For what it's worth, I think these idiots who forced their way into the Capitol today deserve all the tear gas the cops can hit them with, they deserve to be arrested, and they deserve to be jailed. But those "protesters" last summer deserved that too.

Nobody deserved to be shot though, especially not a kid.
