You are the generation that raised those kids with their participation trophies, that was booze's point

I know of no one that did that in “my Generation”
My kids got cut from teams. My kids had to earn their own spending money and spots. Kids of friends of ours did too.
Maybe in the really rich neighborhoods that happened, but that has happened for every Generation. No change.
Boomer slander is Trash.

As long as the liberals continue to attack what happened at the capital and say nothing about what happened all summer then we will continue to have the same issues. It’s all so hypocritical that it’s becoming amusing. But you’ll have people on here say they draw the line when it’s our nation’s capital. Biden and Harris response isn’t helping the issue so get used to another 4 years of hell.

What’s your beef with Routt County?

There is a large rally going on now in DC, and the president is going to speak to them. Rather than help a good transition, he continues to spew false narratives after 60+ courts have thrown out the bogus challenges. He is making us look like a tinpot dictatorship that doesn't respect its own rules. I suspect they'll march to the Capital and try to disrupt the proceedings. Hopefully he won't encourage violence since the crowd doesn't seem to be grounded in the reality of our election results.

Well, one can hope I guess.

It is unusual and it’s only happened once before - in 2005. I believe it was one Senator and a bunch of Reps. Representatives have objected a few more times, but have never gotten a Senator to sign on. Much less multiple times.

Could be it was more representatives than senators. It has happened 3 times before, all by Democrats, both times after George W Bush won and again after Trump won. I’ll bet if you polled 1,000 people, less than a handful would know that. I’ll bet the rest think the Republican objections are the first time it’s ever happened and that’s it’s terrible that it’s even allowed to occur.

"The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable... I condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same." - Joe Biden

Sorry but if you think this is more about what liberals have said than Trump you are living in a fiction.

I'm sorry, but that's not at all the same thing. First of all - 'this' hasn't happened 3 times before. You can argue it kind of happened once (2005) but it was a lot different in that they weren't part of a coup attempt orchestrated by the sitting President. As I previously stated the election had been conceded and the candidate did not support their stunt.

I get that a lot of people (presumably including yourself) voted for Donald Trump. Probably twice, and once very recently. Now that he has attempted a coup you have to either (1) admit you were completely wrong for supporting this individual's candidacy or (2) half-heartedly condemn the actual violent part of the coup attempt while reaching back through the annals of history to find slightly similar events to explain how 'this really isn't that different from what the Democrats have tried before'. It is.

There do not appear to be a lot of people in the world who believe those situations are analogous, and I'll bet 100% of those who do are Trump supporters trying to rationalize their support.

A lot of people have spent the last four years practicing living in a fictional environment. A bunch of them just stormed the capital dressed up in paramilitary costumes.

Fingers crossed the two parties break into at least four after this. Seems like the GOP is well on its way to becoming two. Rough guesses of the lines to me would be the parties of Bernie&AOC, Biden, Romney&Sasse, and Trump.

I think that would be phenomenal. Probably unlikely due to funding challenges etc, but phenomenal.
