Jan 6 Attack on the Capitol and the aftermath

i am saying that it's disappointing you can't engage without insulting people who disagree with you. no more no less.

do i think that statements like "lefties are so brainwashed they are like agents in the matrix" is a fact?

no. i think it's your opinion.

trump trying pretty hard no to get his immature ass thrown in jail:

"THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE “ASSIGNED” TO THE RIDICULOUS FREEDOM OF SPEECH/FAIR ELECTIONS CASE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, AND SO DOES SHE! WE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ASKING FOR RECUSAL OF THIS JUDGE ON VERY POWERFUL GROUNDS, AND LIKEWISE FOR VENUE CHANGE, OUT IF D.C." (trump, truth social, august 6th)

"DERANGED JACK SMITH AND OUR HIGHLY PARTISAN, AND VERY CORRUPT, DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE, COULD HAVE BROUGHT THIS BIDIN “OPPONENT” CASE YEARS AGO, BUT CHOSE TO WAIT AND BRING IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ELECTION CAMPAIGN. NO WAY!!! I HOPE YOU ARE WATCHING AMERICA. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" (trump, truth social, august 6th)

If you REALLY think about it, to still consider yourself on the left you have to be suffering some form of brain damage(possible from the vaccine??? thanks trump!) lefties are literally detached from reality on every fucking level, from the most basic male female issue to the more complex economy that they believe isn’t in a recession all the way to the ukrain war and the money the Biden’s have illegally taken, but prosecute trump amiright ?
The worst arguments are always those that consider your opponent to be defective or less than human. The left do it with the "deplorables" on the right. The right do it in just the way you have here. It's irrational, tribal, primate thinking.

Whenever you feel certain about something, and start thinking that those who disagree have something wrong with them, I would start to deeply examine what's happening in your own mind. There is a lot to find there and it will lead you back deep into the jungle.

Except there is something wrong with lefties….Im done pretending there isn’t

But of course you think that. Your brain evolved to do exactly that. I mean, it's fine- but don't pretend that it's rational or logical. It's an emotional response honed through millions of years of evolution on a brutal world. I think you can do better though. Try to understand your opponent. Accept that they have different moral values to you, and that different experiences are informing those values. They're not defective subhumans just because they have different perspectives to you. If you ever want to convince someone that you're correct and they arent, approach an argument from their angle. The world has had more than enough of people dehumanising each other. If you want to keep just entrenching your opponents views even deeper, keep doing what your emotions tell you to- i know it feels good, but arguing based on feelings is for weaklings. But if you want to have an actual conversation that may change minds, remove your emotions and meet others as full humans who can be convinced with the same reasoning that has convinced you. Do the hard thing.

Or just keep throwing shit and be like every other sheep out there. All good 👍
 
Sometimes I wonder how in the hell could any one be right, but then I remember the moment I realized Motorola truly is complete shit as smart phone company after years thinking it is fine. Which was probably clear to any IT-expert in few hours after dealing with their new potatoes, but I am not like them. Coming to any correct conclusion takes enormous time and effort. Being master in something takes 10000 hours of practice and maybe talent. Some people simply do not devote the required amount of time, for they have something better to do, and that does not make them lesser humans.
 
You mean besides not knowing a boy can’t be a girl ? Or that our economy is fucked ? Or their hitler youth mentality…I could go on but since you had to ask there is no point
What makes you think leftists think our economy isn't fucked? You mean the Hitler youth mentality like dressing their kids up in MAGA hats and shirts?
 
re: the hearing today.

Judge Chutkan says Trump's right to free speech in January 6 case is 'not absolute'

"US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that she plans to put serious limits over how sensitive evidence is handled in the Donald Trump 2020 election interference case, in a dramatic hearing Friday in Washington, DC, that could set the tone for the upcoming trial.

The former president has a right to free speech, but that right is "not absolute," Chutkan said. "Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant's free speech is subject to the rules.
"
...
"The fact that he is running a political campaign currently has to yield to the administration of justice," the judge said. "And if that means he can't say exactly what he wants to say in a political speech, that is just how it's going to have to be."
...
"He is a criminal defendant. He is going to have constraints the same as any defendant. This case is going to proceed in a normal order," Chutkan said.

"You are conflating what your client needs to do to defend himself and what he wants to do politically," she told him. "And what your client does to defend himself has to happen in this courtroom, not on the internet."
"

"And that if the judge isn’t subverted his defense will be able to prove the establishment interfered in the election."

what's laughable is that pretty much nothing trump says is grounded in reality and his only driving force is profit - grifting his supporters out of millions of dollars. why does that sound eerily familiar?

lolcopefail.

Feds and their contractors either get no charges or get secret trials lmao
 
Ray epps
whodat?
Everyone should watch this, the police chief on 1/6 ended up being a major whistle blower. I’m just shocked the establishment didn’t suicide him. He must know someone high up that they would let him speak out without serious repercussions. Though I guess he was fired.
