How does one go through life never believing anybody or anything?

Maybe you also believe the Holocaust didn't happen either and we didn't go to the moon.

Lindsey's threat of violence is if Trump is prosecuted for "mishandling of classified information".

Why is he saying that if Trump declassified the documents. They can't get their stories straight.

So we are blaming right wing extremists groups existing on left wing extremists groups? Of course the left wing extremists groups claim to only exist because of the far right.

Truth is there have been far right and far left groups for decades. They exist as a way for disenfranchised losers to feel important.

Also, wrong, however.


...The Denver District Attorney’s Office and the Denver City Attorney’s Office provided The Denver Post with lists of protest-related prosecutions that, combined, totaled 389 cases. The cases involved incidents from May to September 2020...

I eagerly await your response that prosecuted but not convicted doesn't count as a consequence, either.

"389 cases"? Yeah, so? They dropped the charges on more than 300 of those cases.

Meanwhile...

Quote:
Over the 10 weeks cited by the report, more than 16,200 people were arrested for protest-related crimes. More than half of the law enforcement agencies said local district attorneys declined to prosecute those cases.

"In some instances, prosecutors refused to charge those arrested for felony crimes committed during the protests despite the availability of video evidence and suspect confessions," the report said.

Wonder what Trump has on poor ole Lindsey.

The person who'd created the proud boys said that they were created because of antifa, patriot prayer was likely created because of antifa too. This had been discussed numerous times in this forum. So as I'd said, if it weren't for antifa then they wouldn't have existed.

Default Jenna Ellis delivers the dumbest take yet.

- and this is a crowded field of right-wing stupidity, but here goes.

The timing of this is so suspicious because right after Liz Cheney loses her primary, and everything about the January 6th Committee is going away, now this raid happens.
https://www.salon.com/2022/08/29/law...imary_partner/

The warrant was served on the 8th. The primary was on the 16th. So - either the FBI has access to time travel equipment, Jenna Ellis is not all that smart, or she's tailoring her message to an audience that does't care too much about facts. (Well, I guess all three could be true, but - Occam's Razor, right?)

And I see the thread is allowed to go off the rails. Wonder why. (No, I don't really wonder.)

We do all realize that these groups are the extremists on both sides don't we? So instead of talking about left v right or antifa v proud boys, etc. why not just focus on the fact that an elected official is encouraging violence. No matter what side of the aisle they fall to actually incite violence is so wrong and so dangerous. I don't care if MLK, Ghandi, or Reagan came back from the grave and said the same thing. It is wrong to do and is what is tearing this country apart. Instead of focusing on the possible case against Trump and possible crimes Lindsay is instead creating an environment that does no good for anyone except for Trump. It's disgusting.
