Trump Supporters Scare The Poop Out Of Dems...

[kccd]

Good thing CNN keeps you tuned in to all of that.

I pay attention to the news.
Did Fox or Breitbart not cover the Jan 6 riot or the events in Michigan or the Trump bomber? All responsible news organizations covered those events and plenty more.

[Ronson]

Yes I am laughing.

Many if not most people who pay into SS get much more in benefits than what they paid in. Same for Medicare. That money comes from the rest of us.

Bulloney. That's socialist propaganda. Rough estimate, about $200K was taken from me for SS in my lifetime. There is no way I'll get all of that back. I'll probably be dead before I get half of it.

Anybody who actually did deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.





No, it's because the vast majority did not intend to do any harm, and those who did should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.



What you don't know is how many or where.



Let's take the Jan 6 thing --- IF that big crowd really did want to take over the Capitol, they would have had guns, and DC's silly gun laws would not have prevented that.
If DC's gun laws are so wonderful, why this....

DC’s Murder Rate Reaches Its Highest Number in 15 Years

Last night's shooting of a one-year-old boy brings the total number of 2020 homicides to 187.

187 people have been killed in DC this year, making the city’s homicide count the highest it’s been since 2005. The most recent death was last night’s fatal shooting of a one-year-old boy near the Prince George’s County border, after someone opened fire on a car occupied by the child.

That means there has already been a 20 percent increase in homicides in DC, and the year isn’t over yet. While overall crime is down 18 percent (mostly due to reductions in sex abuse, and general theft), numbers for some other violations have risen. Assault from a dangerous weapon is up 5 percent, and motor vehicle theft has jumped by 47 percent.

Last I checked, the Mayor of DC was a Democrat, yes?

I am glad to hear you think those rioters in DC and Michigan should all be prosecuted.

I know plenty of you keep large arsenals, which the rest of us find bizarre. Unless some of you are under the delusion that you can overthrow the US govt.

Yes, DC has parts of town that are dangerous and have lots of gun violence. This is true of most large cities in America. (I live a few miles from the DC border.)
Tell me how a Republican leadership would fix the problems in these cities.

No idea since I don't watch TV news. But I'm sure CNN covered it 24-hours, with spin galore and demonic-Trump photos superimposed.

Not to mention police and fire protection are local issues, and have nothing to do with the federal government.

The point is the same. Our tax dollars go toward a common community good, whether national or local.

[Cow Poke]

Yes I am laughing.

You don't seem like the sense of humor type.

Many if not most people who pay into SS get much more in benefits than what they paid in. Same for Medicare. That money comes from the rest of us.
This is also how insurance works. Some people have chronic illnesses that require lots of care while others stay healthy. But both should have insurance.
So why not extend Medicare to cover everyone? Everyone would pay in and have the same basic level of care. Just like Social Security works. A healthy country is a prosperous country.

But not when that - what did you call it - "minimal benefits" - keeps expanding beyond what is sustainable simply because ignorant people elect the VOTE FOR ME AND GET FREESTUFF candidates.

You are making my point.

You know, pretty much when anybody says that on Tweb, you know they're telling a big 'un.

We all pay taxes, so we should all get the same basic benefits of citizenship.

I'm SO glad you don't actually have any power to make that happen.

There is no actual crowd wanting to Defund the Police. Certainly no one in the current administration.

Laughing - had to hurry and qualify that ignorant statement, eh? There most certainly IS a "Defund the Police" crowd, and even the liberals can't agree on what that means.

But you're about to close with an incredibly stupid statement......

As for reasonable people, that Texas mayor insisted that people should be able to provide their own electricity and water in an emergency! Because that is what responsible people can do!

[Ronson]

The point is the same. Our tax dollars go toward a common community good, whether national or local.

No, it's definitely not the same. Local government is the most responsive to voters, and all sorts of good and bad experiments may be tried at a local level. Zoning laws, trash hauling, blight and noise abatement (etc.) are all local issues that locals decide upon. Those are the jobs of local government.

The federal government is there to protect our constitutional rights, and protect us from hostile nations.

[Cow Poke]

I am glad to hear you think those rioters in DC and Michigan should all be prosecuted.

Ah, you didn't get the message that we're the law-and-order bunch, eh? I'm very consistent on that - you do the crime, you do the time.
YOUR crowd tends to do really stupid things like coerce others into paying the bail for your criminals and anarchists.

I know plenty of you keep large arsenals, which the rest of us find bizarre. Unless some of you are under the delusion that you can overthrow the US govt.

"Large arsenals"

[seer]

That did not happen in DC in part because DC has strict gun control laws, and people seen carrying would have been arrested. The injuries would have been much worse had the insurrectionists been carrying guns.

Are you really this stupid? It is very easy to conceal firearms, especially pistols.

And yes, we know you have the guns. Why is this something to brag about? What do you intend to do with those guns? Try to overturn the USA?

If the Government violated the Constitutional rights of its citizens - what would you do?

[kccd]

Bulloney. That's socialist propaganda. Rough estimate, about $200K was taken from me for SS in my lifetime. There is no way I'll get all of that back. I'll probably be dead before I get half of it.

I know many who have exceeded what they paid into SS. After all lifespans have increased substantially since SS was enacted.

Some did bring guns, and others brought other weapons or used flagpoles or bike racks as weapons. It would have been worse if DC were open carry.

If the Govt violated the Constitution, I would be sure to vote and to volunteer for alternative candidates. And maybe join a protest march or two.

What violation of the Constitution would incite you to violent action?

"Large arsenals"

I was watching TV on Jan 6. I saw a guy breaking into the Capitol carrying a sign with Trump in big letters, and under that it said Law and Order. These people, these Trump supporters, use Law and Order as a slogan, nothing more.

And your leader is the one who pardons convicted criminals who happen to be his friends.

And yes, some RWs admit to owning lots of guns.

So, THOUSANDS of protesters, and you see "a guy"...... just like a liberal.

And your leader is the one who pardons convicted criminals who happen to be his friends.

A) I'm an Independent, not a Republican
2) Jesus Christ is my leader, not a politician

That is not all the federal govt does. They ensure we have clean air and water, and safe food and drugs. They support scientific research that gives us effective vaccines and robots on Mars. They ensure the elderly do not fall into poverty, provide heathcare for segments of the population, build and repair infrastructure, provide disaster relief, run parks and museums, deal with immigration, and much more.

You were on a roll til you came to "deal with immigration".
