I'm actually surprised the justice system did anything at all. I was expecting a nothing burger, and I actually got something.

But specifically, he was disqualified for violating the 14th amendment. If it seems that I don't have much to say, it's primarily because I don't have much to add on.

Alright so when is Hunter's laptop and crack addiction going to be investigated? I've seen people doing hard jail time for mere grams of weed, but the elites can do crack and progressives will defend them to death.

Fuck off with your political prosecution, you're turning the greatest country on earth into a banana republic. Either you investigate them all, or you don't investigate neither of them.

So he was convicted of a misdemeanor and somehow that equates to participating in an insurrection where not a single person has been convicted of insurrection, sedition or treason. I get that you are gloating, but I'm not exactly sure why.

I never thought we'd get to the point where it is illegal to criticize the government. Congrats, leftists, you've brought fascism to our shores.

A redcap, pfft.

It doesn't happen near enough, but I'll never get tired of how mad it makes republicans when somebody from their party faces the consequences of their own actions.

They get mad not because someone has been made to "face the consequences" but because there is no parity. I think the Hunter Biden example given above is a poor one, but Code Pink repeatedly breaking into the Senate and House chambers to disrupt proceedings when GWB was President is a good example. The riots in DC during Trump's inauguration and outside the White House in May 2020 are good examples. Leftist protesters and rioters get a pass, police are ordered to accommodate their chaos, theft, and destruction, mayors endorse providing them "space to destroy." But fools who got swept up into a crowd being waved into the US Capitol by Capitol Police on Jan 6, who just walked around and took selfies (some were belligerent and disruptive, but many did nothing but "trespass"), are being sentenced to 5 years in prison or more after a year and a half of pretrial detention without bail. It's not that their crimes are being punished that is objectionable. It's that the punishments are disproportionate, and that the crimes of others aressimply ignored or even praised.

Only they could have done it. Mussolini was one of their most important students after all.

In other news, Hunter Biden smoked crack and said the N word

No more unusual than Russian oligarchs sleepwalking out of skyscraper windows.

cool, cause hunter biden is totally going to hold any sort of office in the united states.

That dog didn't hunt when the left was accusing Don Jr of everything under the sun, plus Hunter can be blackmailed forcing daddy to protect him. Not to mention 10% went to the Big Guy, so ole Joe profited while he was in office dealing with the CCP.

funny how this same logic doesn't apply to Trump's son.
Go with your hypocrisy somewhere else.

Code Pink never broke into the senate. They showed up to sessions that were open to the public. Sometimes they got too rowdy and 'sometimes' they got arrested, so this is just Republican non-sense. The same is true for the those who rioted when Trump was inaugurated. 217 people were arrested in those riots. Just stop lying already. I know you Trumpers have a complicated relationship with the truth, but fuck...

100%
I actually don't have an issue with Trump's house being raided, I have an issue with the Clintons, the Obamas and the Bidens not having theirs raided.

It would be ideal if politicians accross the spectrum are scared shitless of having to face justice if they do shady shit, but we don't have that, we have one party taking control of the justice system to attack the other party.

Pure grade A fascism.

Many of those 217 were arrested and immediately released and the charges were dropped. The few that plead guilty received light sentencing. Also, six police officers were injured but they were local police and not Capitol police so that's ok by the left's standards.

Yet Republican rioters killed 3 police officers on Jan 6. Ya know, the day they literally tried to end democracy. They also injured 140 officers. Perspective.

Name the police officers killed on Jan 6 and how they died.

And thanks for proving my point by changing the subject.

????

Name them.

No, name one.

 

[vincentx77]

Officer Brian D. Sicknick died the next day from injuries sustained during the riot.
Officer Jeffrey Smith and Officer Howard S. Liebengood ended their life within a week because of the emotional trauma they experience because of the event.

I just refuted your comment. If anyone changed the subject, it was you.
