    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.

    Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:38:51.
    Did someone just get 25'ed?

    Not according to the Independent:

    Perhaps he has succumbed to a "medical emergency?"

    I had a feeling that once the coup failed and he went silent, that they'd put him under house arrest and were just keeping it quiet.

    House will vote on impeachment on wednesday if he hasn't resigned or removed through the 25th by then. Resigning and getting a pardon might be the best move for him. I don't think his ego allows that. I hope this isn't Nixon 2.0. I wouldn't bet money on Trump facing any consequence, but I sure hope he will.

    Trump admin just criminalized humanitarian aid to Yemen and designated Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism. Whatever the plan is there, it's not good.

    Yes, they have bunkers inside the building. That's where the "important" people were. They were never in any danger.

    Ong - what if the cop just put he gun away, opened the door and said "Fuck it, go ahead"

    How would that be worse than what actually happened?

    One of the new Qanon congresswomen tweetet out their location down to the minute when the mob was coming up the stairs. I know those fuckers like to do "research" but apparently they didn't do enough research to know where the chamber of the house was or they would have found them.
    Staff and congress was hiding in different locations. They definitely weren't in any sort of bunker. At least not all of them.

    It doesn't really matter what I think happens. What does the cop think happens, with the information he has at the time, given the stress and fear he is currently under? Does he think standing down will endanger congress, staff or security? Maybe he was under direct orders to not stand down. idk.

    I'm calling the shooter a cop, when all I saw was a gun. It could have been congress security, or even military. Cop seems most likely, but it's not a given. Who knows where his orders were coming from? Who knows if he intended to fire a warning shot and hit someone by accident? Too much speculation.

    I don't have a great deal of sympathy for the lady who was shot. Obviously it's terrible, but when you put yourself in that situation, you have to understand it's a risk you're willingly taking. I mean, the same can be argued when we talk about cops, who sign up for a dangerous job, but there's the difference... the cops are just doing their job, while the protesters are the ones causing the situation.

    Every other cop in the place was faced with the exact same decision. They were all armed. They were all confronted by crowds of people in one way or another. They all knew they were standing between the protesters and law makers.

    Somehow only one cop used bullets.

    Sure, but this one cop was protecting an area where the protesters had not yet accessed. That entrance might have been a "red line". We're speculating hard here, I'm unaware of a report on this yet, but the details should trickle out over time. As things stand, I'll give the cop the benefit of the doubt and assume he was justified in his actions.

    Your whole theory hinges on "Maybe that was a really sensitive area that they were trying to access"

    Did you see the flimsy door with lots of breakable glass? Does that look like the kind of thing you would use to barricade a high-value, vulnerable, or sensitive area?
  14. #8189
    Face it dude, the cop shit his pants. That's all. That used to be a crime, until it was a Trump supporter getting killed.
  15. #8190
    Cops shooting crowds of protesters used to be considered really really bad in this country.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_S...s#Legal_action

    Some of the Guardsmen on Blanket Hill, fearful and anxious from prior events, may have believed in their own minds that their lives were in danger. Hindsight suggests that another method would have resolved the confrontation. Better ways must be found to deal with such a confrontation.

    idk, maybe you're right, but I'm not going to default to "cop is a cunt" under such circumstances. I might well change my mind as more information emerges.

    Honestly, I'm just trying to be neutral here. I didn't have any sympathy for BLM protesters who fought with cops, I don't have sympathy for looters who get shot, I'm not going to have any for a protester who gets shot in the Capitol when a mob is trying to force its way into an area they don't currently hold.

    You're wrong. We entrust cops with the a literal license to kill. We arm them, train them, and empower them to use deadly force when absolutely necessary. In return, we're allowed to hold them to an extremely high standard of probable cause for using that force.

    "they weren't supposed to be there" is not a good enough reason for shooting someone.

    I can't believe that people afraid of a dictatorship are perfectly ok saying "well, cops should just be allowed to have "red lines" where they can shoot anyone who crosses it"

    I mean if this is a cop who just panicked, you're right, he's unfit for the job. But that's an assumption at this stage. When cops shoot black people, I'm the first to argue that maybe that individual was behaving in a way where it was a serious risk, and that maybe he wasn't shot because of the colour of his skin. In some cases I'm wrong, and perhaps I am here.

    It's not that "they're not supposed to be here". Trespass doesn't warrant a bullet to the neck. The cop is only justified if he felt he, or those he was protecting, were in danger, and that he had no other option. I can't say that isn't the case. Can you?

  22. #8197
    So banana, in your fevered imagination what was this all about? Just a peaceful protest that the cop overreacted to?

    Also, curious to hear the right-wing theory of why the security at the Capitol was so lax to begin with. Another frame up by BLM?

    Unless she/twitter deleted a bunch of her earlier tweets, I think this is a dead end. She didn't tweet that until after 7 pm, by which time the building was already secure.

    She's still a fucking loony though. Sarah Palin on crack.

    Edit: Unless twitter time-stamped it with UK time and not local time; in that case it was at 2.15 pm D.C. time.

    Best I can piece together from the Buzzfeed map, the woman who was shot was trying to get into the House chambers. Not clear why it was barricaded unless their were still congresspeople inside.

    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...=relatedmanual

    So yeah, a bullet in that situation seems appropriate.

    Dude...they came into the room and said "Stop counting votes and go home". Except all the democrats stayed. Then suitcases came out from under desks filled with ballots that went 99% for Biden. Those votes were counted with no verification/supervision. Then someone came and asked "WTF?". And the answer was "a pipe burst". When asked "which pipe?" the answer was "shut up nazi!"

    When they asked the Georgia election official to check into it, he said "Nah, it'll be fine"

    People feel like the election was stolen, and they have a legitimate claim. Regardless of what the real results are, we can't be having situations where hidden suitcases full of votes are counted after a false pipe-burst claim sent all the supervisors home. That can't happen in a country that claims to have fair elections. I dont' care if those suitcases were full of confetti. That kind of shit can't be happening, period. When it does, it raises doubt.

    add to that all the swing states that corruptly changed their voting rules just weeks before the election and you get a hell of a lot of pissed off people. Regardless of who you think actually won, you have to admit there is enough shifty bullshit to justify doubt.

    The simple solution is to stop giving them money. I use DuckDuckGo, I don't have Amazon Prime, I buy my shit off eBay, I don't have a smartphone, I just try to give as little of my money as possible to these companies. Obviously it's impossible to cut them out altogether, but I try.

    Both Facebook and Twitter have lost billions off their value in the last day. It's probably a temporary loss, but that depends if an alternative can be established.

    Parler never was a viable alternative. Gab might be.

    Poop is just proving the protester's point.

    They're problem is that there is a ruling class that not only ignores them...openly despises them.

    Everyone being protected by the police is important. Your argument seems to be that the people you elected are LESS important than the average citizen. If it had been a gym full of people watching a basketball game and an angry mob was trying to smash their way in, you'd be ok with the cop shooting them in the face.

    Look man, plenty of people have dug into the "pipe burst" story. There isn't a plumber, contractor, or Aquaman that can corroborate that story. There is no work order. No invoice. Not even a wet spot on the carpet.

    Someone made up a story about a pipe bursting. That is a known, irrefutable fact.

    Now I want to know why they did that.

    And maybe it was all legit. the point is, you don't know. You can't say for sure.

    What happened was against every sound election procedure we have. And enough votes were counted to have possibly swayed the election. It demands an investigation, but an investigation was denied.

    How do you expect people to just accept that quietly?

    How do you expect people to just accept that quietly?
    He lost by three states. They recounted the GA votes twice. The Republican gov'nr told Trump to put down the crack pipe. The courts threw out all the laughable cases they had. It's over, deal with it. Or join yallqaeda. Whatever.
    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.

    One hundred thirty something congressman and senators objected to the certification of the election and insisted on an audit of the votes.

    So don't tell me the case is "laughable"

    Collectively those lawmakers represent some 40-50 million people.

    This isn't a fringe conspiracy theory.

    I'm skipping ahead cuz I'm too lazy to read all of this, but re: the woman getting shot climbing through the barricade:

    The cop decided to make a stand and he decided to draw his weapon to enforce that stand. From what I saw in the video, his gun was obviously drawn. At this point, anyone who continues to advance on his position needs to be considered deranged and/or a serious threat.

    And look, I'm not saying the video gives us all we need to know that it was a justifiable shooting, but given the info in the video and the other info we have, it's nutty to conclude that it probably wasn't justified.

    Who encouraged and in many cases actively promoted these conspiracy theories? Oh, those very same congressmen and women? So for short term political gain they created this mess, then you're saying their continued short term'ism justifies the mess? Huh?

    I absolutely love what's happening. Republicans at the same time cannot afford to break with Trump and cannot afford to hang on to Trump. Trump put them in a situation where they can only lose and it's anyone's guess which option will be more damaging electorally.

    So your proof of a rigged election is a random video which shows hidden suitcases (what?), that for some reason you think contain fraudulent votes. So glad to have you back.

    I don't even know how to begin to respond to this. What exactly is your argument?

    Are you saying that roughly 25% of congress decided it would be "good" for them to howl "conspiracy theories"?

    "Conspiracy Theory" is a slur. Not an argument.
  62. #8237
    Seriously guys, don't bother trying to debate the Georgia suitcases with me. The fraud claims related to that have *NOT* been debunked.

    No one can explain why the republicans went home and no one else did.

    Every "Fact check" article about this simply quotes the GA official as saying that's "normal ballot processing".

    Well, it's not NORMAL because it only happened during that exact time when no one was watching. That's not normal.

    They won't explain it. they just say, "nah, Trump is wrong. Stop undermining democracy you insurrectionist!! What we did was NORMAL"

    that's not an explanation. that's hand waving


    It's funny. Boost just gave me a jab telling me how 25% of this country's legislator is guilty of espousing conspiracy theories for short term personal gain. But the one democrat in charge of GA elections.....that guys is just doing his job "normally"

    Wow

    Don't put words in my mouth. I never said "rigged". I said there is enough irregularities and nonsense to cast an unacceptable amount of doubt on the election results.



    But since you brought up the word. Having a handful of activist judges change the election laws in multiple states, just weeks before the election, all in ways that favor democrats....that really sounds like "rigging" to most people.

    A handful of activist judges heh. It's really a shame that the more people are allowed to vote, the more it favors democrats, isn't it.

    "Among the 29 states and the District of Columbia that enacted expansive voting laws, seven states stand out for particularly ambitious legislative action to protect the right to vote in the face of significant constraints posed by the pandemic. These measures aimed to smooth election administration and protect voters and election workers from Covid-19. California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Nevada, Utah, and Virginia all made substantial changes to their election laws this year to preserve safe access to the ballot box."

    oh fuck off with that.

    The votes are supposed to be observed by independent observers. They can't see shit from 6ft away.

    So we don't get a real election "because it's COVID time!!"

    And that's what you call "particularly ambitious legislation"

    That's a scam.
  68. #8243
    So they expanded mail-in voting, let's just pretend that's fine for now.

    How are people offered "safe access to the ballot box" when a judge rules that the vote-counters don't have to verify signatures on mail-in ballots.

    Who was it that just minutes ago accused someone of putting words in their mouth?

    So in a nutshell, you don't think COVID is a big deal, because reasons, and therefore having measures to protect people from it is a scam. At least there's some internal coherence between your conspiracy theories, impressive.

    Well yes, but that's not really relevant here. Covid could be a "big deal" and still not be big enough to justify sacrificing fair elections.

    having measures to protect people from it
    You can use this excuse to justify anything.


    The rules say two people have to see the ballot. This year, only one person saw each ballot....cuz covid. And that's just fine to you? Really dude?

    "The rules", you mean in Georgia? You do know that each state decides "the rules" by themselves? Georgia did not enact any changes to their election laws in 2020.

    No. there you go putting words in my mouth again. Georgia is a problem. PA is a problem. There can be more than one problem. In fact, there are ALOT of problems all around the country and they can't ALL be conspiracy theories.

    If you really think that every ballot can be tied back to a single human, who voted legally, only once, then I don't know what to tell you.

    If you're just going to insist that we swallow everything the media and government say, without any question or challenge, then you're lost. Good luck dude.

    "There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud"

    Notice how the media drumbeat always makes sure to include that word "widespread".

    Why do you think that is?

    Ah my bad, didn't realize we're playing bullshit bingo. "Putting words in someone's mouth" means saying someone said something they didn't. Contrast that with someone asking you if this is what you meant. You can usually tell those apart by the question mark at the end. Good job, 1 point.

    Ok so "problems" means states that the gop lost, gotcha.

    Yeah I definitely didn't say anything about any of that, well done. Let the courts, with majority republican nominated judges, mind you, decide.

    On top of putting words in my mouth, his could also be classified as a strawman or even begging the question. 3 points, nice!

    Because single cases have been found pretty much every election, it would be disingenuous to say there's none.
