January 6 redux

Quote: AZDuffman

That is why they pushed it. That is why they push it. I can think of no good reason for it other than to cheat. Way too unsecure.

Hogwash, redux.

I'm spotting a real trend with your posts, boyo.

You want a good reason?

"Convenience."

It is no less secure than voting at an old school polling station.

Like I just said we've used it for many years with never a problem, and lots of republicans have been elected, even though most Oregonians spit on them as just so much useless sludge.

If you heard someone saying "I'm going to murder you." while they're beating you with a pole, what would be your statement when you testified at their trial before a judge if you survived?

I think you are getting at something that is not in the video, and not about a statement I made either.

the MSM is dutifully making the most of this fizzled riot, while continuing to ignore the threat to democracy that is more real, what the left pulled especially last year, but also for 4 years ... Ngo makes a good case for it

Okay. Quite possible.

Convenience is not a good enough reason. Security is more important. That you cannot see it is less secure shows you cannot handle this conversation as you do not understand verification and chains of custody. Thus no use continuing to explain it to you.

You can have a riot based on dissatisfaction with the government vs. overthrowing the current legitimate government. It DOES MAKE A DIFFERNCE WHICH IS THE STATED INTENT BY THE RIOTERS.

Illegitimately changing the government in power as a goal is more serious even if the same buildings are damaged the same way.

Also OG, if you followed the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, you know how hard the prosecution was looking for any statement, wrong move by Kyle to defeat his self defense argument. Intent by statement or action was everything to convicting him. Not the fact that 2 died from him shooting them. With different moves and statements, he goes to prison for a long time.

Hogwash.

That you cannot see that it is as secure shows you cannot handle this conversation.

What a riot today was. Heels-Up compared January 6th to Pearl Harbor.
Captain Poopypants compared it to 911. These two events involved thousands
of American lives lost. January 6th had some mentally disturbed cop
shooting an unarmed protester. And all over the media they are saying
United States is changed forever because of the Insurrection that happened
on January 6th. Yet so far not a single person who was arrested has been
charged with insurrection. Or even terrorism.

Not to be undone by Jill Biden's dancing vax nurses at the WH, Nancy Pelosi
had the cast of Hamilton sing some goofy cornball song to heal the nation
on this horrible anniversary. Nancy Pelosi and Jill Biden have turned all of this
into a musical. Imagine if Donald Trump had done this, the media would still
be mocking him about it. Captain Poopypants crew does it and all you hear is crickets.
I wonder how many people who see Hamilton actually think it was all black people
who were the founding fathers. Why not make the entire cast Japanese, it would
make just as much sense and be just as laughable.

Meanwhile poll after poll after poll after poll after poll shows that the American
people don't give one crap about January 6th. They don't believe it was insurrection, they
believe the media is making their usual mountain out of a molehill. They remember
Russia Russia Russia, the media set their credibility back decades with that canard.

canard
a false or baseless, usually derogatory story, report, or rumor.
