I’m trying to get you to think for a moment.

You need to think about the difference between 2017 and Jan 6th other than whining about some nonsensical precedent. Republicans used to be the party of personal responsibility, now it’s extreme right are more interested in playing victim and people like mid eat it up.

No one’s playing the victim. Asking questions is fine Ville.

And well, it only seems extreme because the Left has moved off the normal spectrum of American politics.

Edit: Please explain the difference between 2017, 2020, the Kavanaugh hearings and J6? I’m not defending the J6ers however it will be fun to watch you and others twist themselves into knots trying to explain it.

I’m just gonna *almost* limit my responses on this thread to reposting articles from “The Free Press”.
They explain the ridiculousness and malfeasance of the Biden Administration better than anything I could write
“Threat to Democracy”? Thy name is Biden Democrats.

Great article. It goes quite nicely with the one in the Global Warming thread where the scientist there admits to leaving out key parts of his research, knowing the including them would result in the article not being published in the most prestigious journals. It’s a sad state of affairs.

Kind of funny how Joe Biden took an oath to “Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States” then almost immediately turns around and tries to undermine the First Amendment of Free Speech.

Sounds awfully Threat to Democracy-ish.

9/11. The day that I will always remember where I was when the terrorist attack happened. Such a horrific event however it might be the only time in recent memory that everyone in this country came together and supported one another. Hopefully, this day will remind us all the importance of being an American.

Amen and great post! I remember that whole day. Where I was, who with, and finishing the day at church.

Unfortunately to your last sentence, some have compared J6 2021 to this day including our VP. Very sad, please keep politics out of this somber day/moment.
