2020 Presidential Election: let the jockeying commence

[Seattle Husker]

Ha, so they fear he could win again?

It ensures he can't even run.

So imagine this scenario. Your Congessman comes for a visit to your house. An angry mob shows up on you front porch. You door is secure, but someone smashes your transom in an attempt to enter the house. How do you treat the first person to climb into your home?

Are they White or Black? Are they wearing a Maga hat or a BLM hat? These are important questions. Please advise.

Unarmed white woman is a desperate confrontation? A bit unhinged don't you think? Were all the shootings of black criminals not desperate confrontations? But I'll be damned if they didn't start riots across the country that now has POS athletes putting they names on uniforms and helmets. All encouraged by the media and you can't watch a game w/o being reminded you are a racist at some point in the commercial breaks.

It looked pretty damned desperate in the videos I've seen. You ever faced an angry mob battering the door you are standing behind? I think this incident, like most criminal situations, has to be judged independently. We can't say justice was misapplied elsewhere so we're required to behave stupidly for the rest if our lives.

 

[Monahorns]

I don't idolize anything other than our Democratic system of government.

Well, there is your problem.

You'd almost think in the heat of the moment that police have to make split second decisions and sometimes innocent people die.

 

[Monahorns]

When they arrived at the Capitol Building Congress was actively counting the electoral votes.

I wasn't aware of that. That is scary. I am not for violence or destruction of property.

 

[Joe Fan]

The NYT is calling a handful of water bottles left behind "WRECKAGE!"

"WRECKAGE, WRECKAGE!"

 

[Crockett]

Yep. Crazy situations require people to make life and death decisions in a split second. Mistakes are made and sound decisions are questioned.

 

[Joe Fan]

3 kids. One a special ed teacher. A nice career. A few masters degrees. Trolling a troll like you is just the chocolate gravy.

Do they know how to read?
I know you didn't teach them how

 

[Crockett]

Are they White or Black? Are they wearing a Maga hat or a BLM hat? These are important questions. Please advise.

Assume for this hypothetical that you have no time to figure that out.

 

[OUBubba]

Do they know how to read?
I know you didnt teach them how

If you're going to flame someone for not knowing how to read you should use proper punctuation. For future reference.

For the sake of argument if I am so armed I'm shooting. Any rational person would. Of course most situations are not so cut and dry.

 

[Joe Fan]

I agree with David. He didn't not say what you say he said. He said, "shooting her is reasonable as she was trying to break into the chamber and she was 'the storm' and 'nothing would stop her' " They had bombs and, scarily, zip ties and they were looking for Pence. I too think non-lethal efforts could have been used but I typically defer from playing Monday Morning QB on these things. A shot in the leg can be deadly as well.

lol, she had a flag!

But, OK, let us be clear that these are rules now
And we are applying to to your people now
(a) if they are "scary"
(b) if they are part of "the storm" and
(c) wear flags as capes
The can be shot and killed. These are your rules

I refuse, you punctuation NAZI!

When this was taken...notice the glass was blown inwards and the doors are barricaded.

This was the scene in the gallery at the same moment. They are holding gas masks.

No Joe: I think the existing rules are more carefully formulated than the ones you are suggesting here.

This rises to the Darwin Award rankings:

Most of those entering the Capitol Building would never be confused with rocket scientists. That dude may take the cake. Killed by your own taser while you are trying to steal a painting. He's the king of a pathetic lot that entered the Capitol Building.

Yesterday: Joe Biden on Mitt Romney

"He's going to put ya'll back in chains." ​

Today: Joe Biden on Mitt Romney

"This is a man of enormous integrity." ​

LOL
Liberal ethics blow around like a weathervane

Politics in a nutshell. But Kamala wins I think.

"Biden is a supporter of the KKK. Biden may need to withdraw from running because I believe his accuser."

"I accept Bidens nomination of me for VP and can't wait to work with him."

 

[mchammer]

I have repeatedly said here that brainwashing is the order of the day. This lady was brainwashed for over 2 months. How many Biden voters were brainwashed in 2020 less tragically? Just wait till 2024.

To wit:

 

[Crockett]

So when has Mitt Romney violated his conscience to appease the rabble? Except for ludicrous campaign promises we require of every successful candidate, when has he lied? He is guilty in Republicans eyes of not being partisan enough, not lacking integrity.

So Trump lies and hyperbole are the only ones that are OK?

Sad thing is that he may have been a decent enough fellow to his friends, family and community... just got angry, lost his moral compass as part of a mob and ended in death a laughingstock for people of opposite political persuasion.

Imagine this scenario. You're a policeman, out to do the job you were hired to do, respond to a conv store holdup, confront the alleged criminal and he charges. You don't know what weapons he might have. What do you do?

Would you murder the alleged thug just to save your hide?

I'd use the force required up to and including lethal force.

 

[Crockett]

Sad isn't it. Trump and Giuliani incited a mob and may have changed forever the way we govern ourselves.

 

[PecosBill]

the video of the death. Shot as she climbed thru the broken window into the room with Capital Police and Federal employees.

 

[Garmel]

Sad isn't it. Trump and Giuliani incited a mob and may have changed forever the way we govern ourselves.

Except they didn't incite anybody. You need to read a transcript or listen to the speech. Trump told them to be peaceful.
