Yes, we all saw what the traitor republicans did on Jan. 6th….
@Tri Arb when dead repubs are allowed to vote, so they can also comment on youtube lol
@INCARNATE … when was the last time you visited the United States?
@Ralf Fischer … false claims of racism, over reaction of January 6th.. what else do you have to offer?
@Muddy Water dont get triggered now soy boy…
@Muddy Water Truth bothers you Daisy?…Must be a republican..
Still can’t believe that election workers received death threats. There is a common idiom: “Don’t shoot the messenger”.
@Barbara Ferrara it’s insanity
@Brian Holloway & you know all about insanity…
@Barbara Ferrara & so you put on your glasses….
@Barbara Ferrara People are self conscious and don’t want to look like myopic frogs blinking constantly in public if they can help it. If it were a case of eye irritation, they’d have put on glasses to save face. It’s unconscious, they don’t even realize they’re doing it, because they’re lying and they know they’re lying.
@DJ Jones & so I did
the party of law and order and “I Support The Blue ” at it again
Name the laws broken during January 6th, compare them to the laws broken during the many black lives matter riots.
@Muddy Water breaking into federal building beating police causing damage much more dude man so stupid
@Muddy Water go crawl back under your rock. The rest of the roaches are missing you.
@Muddy Water 1. Breaking and entering into a Federal Building.
2. Homicide.
3. Attempred Homicide.
4. Theft
5. Entering Congressional Rooms without a permit.
6. Carrying weapons into a Federal Building without permission.
7. Entering the offices of Congressmen and Congresswoman without permission ( each unlawful entry is a separate charge)
8.Damaging Federal Property
9. Carrying an unconstitutional,unauthorised flag into the Representatives’ Chamber without permission.
10. Entering the House without a permit.
11. Filming and recording in the Chamber without Federal permission.
12. Attacking police officers.
Just to name one or two. There are many more, but we all know you won’t read any of them because Denial flows through your body like a river flows through Egypt.
@Muddy Water
An honest comparison shows violations to be approximately the same, with one exception . . .? BLM didn’t attempt to disrupt an official government proceeding with intent to overturn a legitimate election. aka – insurrection.
Fed government may have its hands tied, but voters CAN make a difference STILL.
Organize to get out the vote!
********** The exclusivity of state power to “define the method” of choosing presidential electors means that Congress may not force states to permit presidential voting by mail or curbside voting, for example. The Bill is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and would be struck down in the Supreme court
One in three angels followed Lucifer
So good Americans are in the majority, but it takes a concerted effort to get the majority to vote freely
@Dachusing caps will not rectify the facts that are stubborn things. Your resource, for exclusivity of the states is lacking and wrong.
@Dach When individual state voting procedures — technique of voting – is changed in order to deny liberty based on implied bias, the thread of voter suppression lifts the TOTAL aggregate of all states above a line covered by the 15th Amendment. There the Federal government has an argument to make a case. FYI Chief Justice John Roberts cited the Voting Rights Act was no longer needed 2013 because voter suppression had been outgrown, not that that was a states rights issue. I have no doubt this is going to the Supreme Court. I have no doubt Roberts will revisit his wring headed opinion.
Stochastic terrorism must be punished. And people who make violent/death threats need to be prosecuted.
@The Trans decepticon Dude you just made that up- for real. Just burp it up and spit out…
@G.W. Rick I’m SO tired of this crap from these people…
@The Trans decepticon What BS. I swear… project, project, project and protect yourself from reality. Your handle tells us everything we need to know about you.
@Johnathan Davis you’re tired of people making a proper statement? You’re tired of facts? Do something then. I eagerly await it.
@Madison Heights we know you liberals are okay with death threats to conservatives election workers. You’re huge hypocrites
In the same way that Korea was an undeclared war that was referred to as a policing action, I don’t know if most people are afraid to say it or simply don’t realize it but America right now is in an undeclared war. It is those of us that actually have sense against people who for whatever reason want to be delusional and in denial of reality and in many cases, are ignorant as snot and actually proud of how ignorant they truly are. I am specifically not saying this towards any living human being in this country so if you are offended by it my apologies if you agree with it that’s fine as well but this is my own personal opinion.
People seem surprised that Donald Trump tried to manipulate the White House ,
D O J
D , DONALDS
O , OWN
J , JUSTICE.
Remember when the USA was this crazy? We all know who did this. Deep down you know.
@Walter Lichtenberg Thats right Walter, its like they all have that same look in their eye. The hatred oozes out of their pores.
@Walter Lichtenberg : All so very true. And all of us who are against that type of tyranny can pledge ourselves to be ANTIFA.
@Walter Lichtenberg 👍👏👏👏👏👏😎🤘
@Alex Youngberg
Truth
Wins.
It was the orange turd
My grandmother was an election worker for many years. I myself would volunteer to protect there folks. Anyone threatening poll workers should be charged with a terroristic threat. And tossed in jail.
Absolute and given life at gitmo where all terrorists should be
These threats can be traced,why are the people not charged?
Only vigilante justice will stop this
Maybe because it never happened? Every communication is traceable. If it happened there would have been an arrest
Its just stunning. Wouldnt that be something if Biden has to send the national guard out to protect Americans from Americans?
I’m voting for anyone not republican 🤣🇺🇸💙
Even if it’s against your best interest?
@The Trans decepticon That would never happen.
@The Trans decepticon Only if he’s a racist, ignorant, complete jerk. Then voting for an R would be in is best interest.
@The Trans decepticon Republicans are the bottom. You can only go up from there.
@Serendipity Joe Manchin is one Democrat I would not vote for. I consider him a “sleeper.” He’s a Democrat on the outside, but a Republican in the inside.
It’s time to start tracking down people and charging them for these threats.
Only when those people get put down will this stop
yup. ppl who threat are terrorists. homeland security should nail them
LotWizzard I think clearly if your threatening an election official, that’s beyond free speech or blowing off steam.
Terrorism!
I was wondering why that wasn’t already aggressively happening.
Our election officials have been receiving death threats by the new face of terrorism and must be held accountable .
Vote blue in 2022
Yes, our election officials must be held accountable.
Death threats against a volunteer force, often composed primarily of elderly retired people….mmm, sounds like the work of a “Basket of Deplorables” to me.
Cowards/Terrorists
The Republican Party is long gone…… their Party of crazies MUST GO☹
Trump, through his cult, still a threat to our democracy.
A government that tolerates terrorism has no right to call itself a top country
Vote Blue to Save America, because the ones attacking our country, votes red!
*The “Hands On Deck” we need are the one’s that are NOT On Deck!!*
