Politics

I felt Al Franken incident was BS, not that I’m a sexual harassment sympathizer, but Al really wasn’t given a chance to be properly investigated.

It is fair to apply the same standard for everyone, but 2 wrongs don’t really make a right.

Further, it was the left who shot themselves in the foot with the Al Franken thing. If the left continue to ‘shoot’ like that, we’re just asking the right wing crazies to want to shoot back with real bullets.

In times like this, please don’t let emotions run too wildly.

Trump fully deserved what he’s gotten so far, but just saying we also need to remember to behave like civilized society and not degenerate to their deplorable levels.

Sizable amount of Americans believe the election is stolen. Better approach is to try to prove to them that Biden is the rightful winner rather than just shut Trump down and tell his supporters to shut up.

If these Americans were tricked into believing some sort of alternate facts, isn't it our responsibility to help 'untrick' them to help them get back on the right track? Rather than just tell them to shut up and fuck off, right?

That's why I believe right action is important. If we can't do the right action, then at least no action. Wrong actions definitely will only exacerbate the problem.

Someone made a map of locations from video metadata that was uploaded to Parler.

There is extensive evidence of users in DC on the day of the riot, and he says that every second of the incident was filmed from at least one angle.

Cutting the footage together would make for a very interesting documentary. A film student’s project is just waiting to be made here.

Someone made an animation (using the data from the Parler video uploads) showing the movements of people through DC after Trump's appearance at the Save America Rally on Jan 6th.

It's taken a long time for the nation to catch up.

Drew and I are now at another level: fuck Republicans. Join us, we have cookies. a fuck Republicans and hold them ALL accountable mentality.

My friend, I was anti-American (anti-Republican mostly) before it was cool. Especially during the George W. Bush era. I didn’t like him or his foreign policies and got a lot of shit for it on here by people who are now saying the same things. Funny how I now consider W to be an angel.

I look forward to the day America can reclaim its glory as a nation worthy of looking up to. Maybe Biden will truly MAGA!

Hopefully President Trump's existence in the past 4 years was to help America be free from GOP's grip...

It seems regardless who's in the white house, GOP always had control in Congress... even when not, they can successfully obstruct and eventually get their way... and let's forget about the supreme court for now...

Anyway, at this stage, I think senate(Mitch) has been weakened. From the stimulus check fiasco to the now verbally agreeing with impeaching Trump... Mitch can't possibly keep the party together by appeasing both to the rich established members of the GOP AND the working class members of the GOP... So GOP is now fractured and hopefully the dems can build on this momentum.

President elect is also not a black dude nor a chick, so it'll be difficult for them white male supremacist to attack him on that. Biden's moderate position also meant he really isn't a socialist politically like Bernie... This old man is also unlike to do any hanky panky with any interns... So it will be difficult to drum up crazy reasons to attack him. Sleepy Joe only need to not fall asleep to be successful!

Considering where we are right now, the only way for us to go is up, right?

Hopefully Biden will be able to be healthy enough to serve 2 terms... Because if after 4 years we end up with President Kamala, she will probably end up with greater obstructions/opposition than Obama did...

This thread has had two posts since I posted yesterday.

What the fuck?

The shitshow is about to end, hoping it will be boring politics after next week.


We should start another thread for "Soon to be ass-fucked traitors" and comment on all the inevitable arrests of fucktards.

I think it’s the calm before the storm.

Shut your mouth you all. Boring old Biden will be boring and then die in 2 years. Then you have nine and a half years of president Harris before the US implodes.

My office is a few blocks from our state capitol and I'm here a couple days per week to take care of things I can't do from home.

Today the office hand-wringer announced she wouldn't be coming to work at all next week because of the riots.
