I think yoyo has TDS confused with legitimate criticism of a sitting president.

Criticizing a sitting president is your patriotic duty.

Criticizing a former president as your only defense against attacks on a sitting president is a sign of a mental disorder and/or intellectual deficiency.

Either violence is justified for both sides, or it is justified for neither. The incidence of of violence by the left is high over the past few years. The right is lagging. That's right, I said lagging. While I hate to think of someone getting hurt, those white buildings in DC are starting to resemble an Ivory Tower.

Let's try this again since a moderator chose to delete my comment because facts hurt their little feelings.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/most-of-the-protesters-arrested-during-kavanaugh-confirmation-have-been-released/2018/10/07/da7c76f0-ca46-11e8-a360-85875bac0b1f_story.html

Over 175 people were arrested at the confirmation of Kavanaugh, and over 200 during the confirmation. The key differences between the Kavanaugh protests and January 6th was this.

1. No one was armed.

2. No one threatened to kill Brett Kavanaugh nor the congressman confirming him.

3. The people inside were invited in and their seats were bought and paid for. They did not require a sizeable mob to intimidate and let them in. They were allowed in until they chose to be a disruption; at which point they were excused.

4. And this is pretty important, no one died at Kavanaugh's confirmation; nor his hearings.

So to try to compare these two incomparable things and call them the same; shows a grandeur of ignorance of not only what happened on January 6th but October 6th as well.

Furthermore. I don't support anyone who breaks the law no matter what their political alignment. That said, I do support the right to peacefully assemble and just as most of the people on January 6th were there to do just that; so too were most of the people on October 6th, 2018. Those who chose to do violent acts at a peaceful protest, should be arrested and tried to the fullest extent of the law.

And if you do... well... it seems to me that you're willing to do the very things you accuse liberals and Democrats of doing, which they are not, as long as it serves your greater good.

Believing your evil is justified and righteous while pointing to those you would call evil and claim to do the very same evil; does not make you justified and righteous. It just makes you evil. ...with more steps.

Oh, let's compare and contrast them!

Kavanaugh hearings:
1) they were organized ahead of time.
2) they purchased tickets to enter the building.
3) those without tickets stood outside with banners. (one report says that some pushed past a police barricade to pound on the Supreme Court doors)
4) did not enter the building (unless they had tickets)
5) did not smear poop on the walls
6) did not invade senators offices looking to capture/kill
7) didn't have guns.
8) didn't steal stuff from the building
9) didn't damage the buildings
10) didn't seek to stop the nomination of a Supreme Court justice by force

Jan 6th Insurrection:
1) they were organized ahead of time
2) didn't purchase tickets
3) Did not stay outside.
4) entered the building
5) smeared poop on the walls
6) invaded Representatives offices looking to capture/kill
7) had guns
8) stole stuff
9) damage the building
10) Sought to stop the certification of the electoral college votes by force and overthrow the legitimately elected President of the United States.

Huh.

I guess when you look at them, the only way the 2 events were similar is that they 1) took place in Washington DC and 2) were organized ahead of time.

After that... wildly different methods. Same outcome tho- the Government still functioned.

Regardless if you are, I believe those who seek more than protestation or wish to incite violent confrontation, including those among the peaceful protests on Jan 6th and Kavanaugh Hearings and Confirmation, deserve jail.

Your perception of equal Justice is skewed. They are political prisoners who have been used by the Left to vilify and quash the opposition. That in Itself is Un-American.

Joe Biden said Trump supporters were semi fascists. Those who voted for Trump are then Guilty. Fact. It is not a surprise that a Rino would not be offended by Bidens accusations. The speech is beneath the dignity of office and will be infamous for its demonic visuals and tone. Making America Great Again is not a bad thing. I happen to think it’s always been great.

“Disorderly conducts and being in a restricted area? That equals a year awaiting trial in your mind?”

When did I say that?

I’ve said anyone who breaks the law should be tried, and if found guilty, jailed.

Again, your problem is you believe these individuals are only being held for protesting and trespass. They are not.

Those individuals have been released.

The ones still awaiting trial have either conspiracy, possession, assault charges; or all the above.

Joe Biden never called voters semi-fascist. Only certain politicians who support Trump.
MAGA is far more than just a slogan based on a flawed premise that America wasn’t great or has been greater previously than we are now. It is a list of dubious policies that exacerbate and enhance the powers of the so-called elitists, establishment, the autocracy that they claim to wish to extinguish. Their economic policies have lead us to not one, not two, but three economic recessions in thirty years. And their unwavering stupidity and loyalty to greed and corruption is accentuated by their rhetoric and the furor of loyalty they demand from their constituents.

I take no personal offense when you critcize any Democrat or so-called “rino”. These criticisms are deeply important whether warranted or not. The fact that criticizing Trump or his likeminded political rejects is by some extension an insult to you is far more troubling to me than radicalized citizens waiting a little while longer for their day in court.

I find justice should be blind and equally applied. The is that many were i. Jail and still are who did not assault any police officers or damage property.

Joe Biden most certainly called Trump voters semi fascist and continues to vilify the Republican Party voters. At least 71 million people voted for Trump. Insulting them all and villifying your opposition is the stuff of banana republics and Dictator states. Hitler used Jews, Biden uses non Rino republicans. I’m a registered independent because I am convinced that both parties are bullshit. Wanting America to be safe, sane, prosperous and proud is something I identify with. It appears MAGA is the only movement vocally supporting that. That aligns with my beliefs. The democrap left are the ones that said we can no longer agree to disagree. That’s pretty clear and leaves little room for interpretation. Think like me or be banned. The gutless Rinos sit back and provide very little opposition. The people are left with MAGA is the only sane option to support family, law and order and prosperity.

Your platitudes of Justice make it seem one-sided rather than blind.

For Trump, the enemy is the media, the enemy is the FBI, the enemy is Democrats, liberals, Antifa, RINOs, and anyone who does not kneel before him and declare loyalty.

As a Christian, I do not bow to any mere representative. Trump is like unto the Anti-Christ in my eyes. He demands many things that are beyond my soul’s ability to carry.

I am sure you believe Biden, Obama, and Hillary to be the Anti-Christ as well, I’ve found such claims to be petty, but to compare Biden to Hitler, while Trump demands everlasting loyalty while he breaks law after law after law and despises the Constitutional limits to his power… I really think you’ve underestimated the evil you support.

Evil will not be wearing black and twirling it’s mustache. Evil is ignorance, arrogance, egotistical, and it will promise to make your country great again when it’s always been the greatest country in the world.

How can America be great again? To what comparison? What country do you think is greater than America?

If you can’t name one, then you admit the fallacy of MAGA at it’s foundation is flawed.

If you can name one… then I respectfully ask you to kindly get the Hell out of my great country and GO THERE!

To me, America is the greatest country in the world, flaws and all.

Well, aside from the fact that you can only prove something exists, not that it doesn’t; therefor the burden of proof is on you.

Here is the transcript as even though you obviously couldn’t find it. I’m happy to attempt to put your alarmist thoughts at ease:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/08/26/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-reception-for-the-democratic-national-committee-3/

“And what we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just — it’s not just Trump. It’s the –it’s the entire philosophy that underpins — it’s — I’m going say something — it’s almost like semi-fascism, the way in which it deals.”

Voters aren’t voting for just philosophies kid but individual representatives.

Biden even says;

“this is a guy who made the point that his opponent is not really fit for the office, joined by the sitting Republican governor of the state pointing out that this is a MAGA Republican. This is not a traditional conservative Republican; this is a different deal.”

Referring to the fact the old but current Republican Maryland governor agreed with the Democratic gubernational candidate that the new MAGA Republican gubernational candidate was unfit for office.

So, while Biden respectfully disagrees with conservative Republican politicians he views MAGA Republicans politicians as a threat.

Never does he talk about voters.

Again, I take no personal offense when you critcize any Democrat or so-called “rino”. These criticisms are deeply important whether warranted or not. The fact that criticizing Trump or his likeminded political rejects is by some extension an insult to you is far more troubling to me than radicalized citizens waiting a little while longer for their day in court.

It escalated into a Russian invasion this year but to say there was no war in Ukraine is not accurate.

This was why suspending aid to Ukraine during Trump’s presidency was so controversial; and was quickly rescinded when Trump’s first impeachment proceedings began.

To say there was no war in Ukraine during Trump’s era is ignorant.

I knew the election was rigged as soon as the key states halted the count the night of the election. The democratic need to push unverified mail in voting before the election was an indicator. The illegal use of the media as a biased source prior to the election was unprecedented. Censoring stories and providing blatantly partisan coverage before the election. To say nothing of the affidavits and video evidence of ballot stuffing. You ignore what doesn’t fit your talking points. The 2020 election was the most corrupt and illegitimate In history and I don’t need Trump to say it. Just like millions of other thinking Americans who have been through a few elections. It was a sham.
Gumshoe

I’ll give you this.

Fact! The Presidential Elections are rigged.

Because the people don’t choose Presidents. The states do through and arbitrary simplification of a decade-long rounding formula. And it further makes it difficult for third party electors to win which reduces how ever many candidates their actually are to two. This forces most Americans who know the game is rigged to vote against one of the two mainstream candidate rather than for one of them or a better third party candidate.

Fact! The only two choices for President in 2020 were Biden and Trump, just as the only two choices in 2016 was Hillary or Trump. Many liberals, leftists, and even moderates chose third party candidates and lost Hillary the vote. This error did not repeat in 2020, costing Trump the election this time, as it would’ve last time if people had not thrown their vote away over trivial candidates and protest votes.

Mail-in voting is not new.

Expanding mail-in voting to allow for those at risk or to include the Pandemic was a reasonable ask.

Biased media isn’t illegal.

Stories were not censored. They were fact-checked. And if claims couldn’t be verified at the time then there was no story.

The affidavits were all dismissed by Republican appointed judges.

The tapes showed never proved ballot stuffing.

You’re the one ignoring what doesn’t fit your talking points. I do not.

The 2020 election was the most secure in election history. Dubious thing for a government to say but still by Trump’s own administration, who can expect it to be less dubious than that!?

Mail in voting but not unverified, mass mailed ballots. No respectable democracy mass mails out live ballots because of fraud risk. That has not been practice here either to say so is ridiculous.

There are provisions for equal time etc. for the media and elections. Simply put, if a broadcast station sells ad time or offers free time to a candidate for an office, it has to offer similar access to other qualified candidates. The equal time rule still exists today, but the Fairness Doctrine does not.

Stories were censored. The Hunter Biden story being the most egregious error in modern American media history. Banning people from speaking about it on social media an even worse offense yet they are not bound by the same rules yet.

It remains to be seen if the same chicanery will be perpetrated in the future elections. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be since the irrational fear of even speaking of the problems with the 2020 election has resulted in no investigation or change. My candidate has lost many elections, that’s not new. After they lost they didn’t try to delegitimize the winner like the Democrats did in 2016. They spent four years aggressively undermining the president to the point of inciting and backing riots and violence. That makes them traitors.
