So what you are saying is that all the right leaning posters on here are against releasing the files even though they have all said release the files. The only question is why are liberals only now animated about this obvious moral issue when they were not during the Biden admin. Was it not a moral issue then? Could it not have derailed Trump then? Why is it only a moral issue now that is worth getting all hot and bothered about. It came up a number of times during the Biden admin and I don't remember you or RV screaming about how important it was to get all those pedophiles. But now you are. It is quite an interesting question. mspart

Perhaps you only think you read what I wrote. Apparently you didn't. mspart

Oh it was talked about, you just didn't find it politically advantageous so didn't push this morality based pedophile ride that you are so impassioned about now. You knew about it and did nothing. mspart

I think Trump has an important issue here. I'm not sure about National Guard having a hand in it, but if he sends in ICE etc and they are not protected in doing their duty, then NG might be the answer. I'd rather they were not involved but I also believe it is a well established line of defense that has been used by both sides over the years, most recently by NY Gov on securing NYC subways. I don't seen much difference here except that the IL and MA govs don't want NG to come and Trump is trying to force the issue. The Feds have leeway to protect federal officers if locals won't. mspart

So you say nothing because "no one campaigned on it"? What happened to this is a right or wrong issue? You say "we have morals" but I say only when you think it benefits you. This is a classic case in point. If it was all that important to you on a moral basis, you would have been just as animated about this during Bidens term. But you were not. They were pedophiles then too. Not just all of the sudden. mspart

Agreed. mspart

Release the files and we will see who are the perverts in government and high society and mucks in CEO penthouses. The left is so myopic on this that if it can get Trump, it is worth all the collateral damage to their party. That was not the case during the Biden admin. But now the hate for Trump is such that they are out for him no matter who on their side gets burned. Quite a turn around. Not a peep the last 4 years. Not one. Now peeps is peeping peeps. I don't mind. Get it out there. mspart

He is dripping blood everywhere. What the heck? mspart

It might be pathetic in your opinion, but more people voted for Trump than voted for Kamala. In an election, that is what counts, voter turnout. More people voted that this was not a thing to get all riled up about. Else their vote would have gone to Harris. It was apparent that there was a way different standard placed on the jan 6 crowd than any other riot that caused way more damage. You can say it was the Capitol and I wish it hadn't happened. Those that destroyed property or assaulted cops should not have been pardoned. But for the rest, the punishment did not fit the crime and I have no problem with them being pardoned. When cities allow the burning down of their cities and do not go after the perps like they did with Jan 6, it is easy to see that this was treated way differently than the others and I think that is why it is not considered as big a deal on the right as it is on the left, just like burning of cities is a bigger deal to the right than to the left. Lawlessness is rampant. It all needs to be treated equally. If so, I don't think we would have seen a Jan 6, and I don't think cities would continue to have the crime problems they currently have. It is all related to a lack of enforcement of the law. Some people just open their windows and smell the freedom of burning tires and cars and are happy about it. That is just as wrong as Jan 6 in my opinion. Jan 6 was not a coup, nor was it an attempted coup. It was a demonstration that got out of control. Like I said, those that assaulted cops or bldg need to be jailed and not pardoned. It was the most peaceful coup attempt in the history of world coups. Where were the grenade launchers, the automatic rifles, the semi automatic rifles, the handguns, the knives, etc etc. It was no coup attempt. It was angry people feeling that they had been cheated. With a record number of votes for Biden and a record number of votes in total, something did seem out of place. 2012 65.9 million votes for Obama 60.9 votes for Romney 126.8 million total votes 2016 65.8 million votes for Hillary 63 million for Trump (but he won the electoral college which is what is important) 128.8 million votes total 2020 81.3 million votes for Biden 74.2 million for Trump 155.5 million total votes 2024 75.0 million votes for Kamala 77.3 million for Trump 152.3 million total votes There is a step jump to Biden and then a step down to Kamala. Where did all those votes come from? Trump did way better in 2020 than he did in 2016 yet still lost tremendously. That was at the center of the vote issue that was the reason for the Jan 6 demonstration. Trump got more votes than any candidate ever in 2020, except Biden jumped the shark. The damage to the Capitol bldg pales in comparison to the damage from the George Floyd riots that went on all summer long with nary an arrest made on any perp. A stunning result that I'm sure allowed the Jan 6 folks to not think too much of what they were doing. What they did was wrong granted. Those that assaulted should still be put away granted. mspart

That's a pretty serious percentage that was bad. Don't blame the Danes at all. mspart

Apparently the American people voted and decided this was not a thing worth dwelling on. mspart

It does matter true. But the next time someone says doing x will cause a slippery slope effect y, they will be laughed at. We see it all the time. mspart

absolutely not a lie. If you are left leaning and assault a tranny with a hammer, you will go down with a hate crime as well as aggravated assault. mspart

Yes, this is true. But when someone states this, it is mostly held in derision. mspart

You seem to think your left leaning progressive ideology would insulate you from this. This is where the left eats their own. You would have little chance of prevailing on the hate crime assault charge. This is what you wanted afterall. mspart

Thanks for the info. mspart

Not particularly interested. 401K is doing fine as it is. Just from the sound of it. I'd need more info to make a judgement. mspart

What you are arguing RV is that the reporting of it is fine but the act was wrong. You are incorrect on the first. A male wagged his willy in front of kids and that is a gross sex assault. See I got them both right in one sentence. As a scientist, you should be concerned about accuracy. mspart

Incorrect. The most it could be is a 100% lie. As a scientist you should be well aware of this. mspart

I don't see anyone else saying my contribution to the thread was wrong. Rs and D's are stupid. mspart

I think you said you got a masters in geology and you are still saying "110% of people"? There is no way, no how, there can be 100% percent of people. I assume you know what this means. Obviously accuracy is not your main concern. I think you are fighting this one too much. You are sounding like all the crazy Ds from before the election. Only you haven't figured out that this language doesn't work anymore. mspart

The basis of this thread is Stupidity is a Competitive Category. I merely provided a counter to the Rs are stupid with a Ds are stupid. I dont think the rep from UT thought this through clearly. I would not have said this. However, if his data is correct and more than million people are dying in hospitals, it would be good to know what this means. End of life scenario? Surgery gone bad? Someone went in for a broken leg and died of pneumonia contracted at the hospital? Don't go to the hospital unless you want to get sick. That's pretty much what I understand. I try to stay away from those places. But more info on what he is trying to say would be helpful. This is similar to the argument that x people die of gun violence trying to make it look like gangland out there when more than half are suicide. Another case of statistics are lies. That said, it is stupid of D politicians saying there is no crime issue and Trump has it wrong. Bowser said that too and has now changed her tune. There is a crime problem in big cities and more active police officers is an answer as shown in DC. Another is actually prosecuting criminals rather than letting them out on no cash bail or just releasing them or not charging them. The guy that killed the lady on the light rail was a many time arrested and many time convicted criminal. It is ridiculous to say crime is not a problem and we can handle it when it is apparent, Chicago is not handling it and DC was not until help arrived. Hopefully DC can keep a handle on it so it doesn't spike to its pre "fed help" levels. mspart mspart

What? The sex act is one thing. Reporting it falsely is another thing. Talk about gaslighting. Language matters and truth matters. A woman did not shake her willy at kids as it has been reported. That is false. Not diminishing the gravity of the crime, but the reporting of it is trying to make it something it was not. mspart

It is disgusting that the news would propagate falsehoods like this so brazenly. She wagged her penis in front of the kids. There is a dissonance to this that is crazy. Your last sentence is correct. How is it gaslighting sex crimes by saying it wasn't a woman waving her penis in front of kids when a woman doesn't have one? A man has one. It is like saying a male lion nursed a lion cub. Everyone knows a male lion cannot nurse. Everone knows that a woman does not have a penis. The article is factually wrong in this regard. Pretending otherwise is the gaslighting. mspart

What woman has a penis? The definition of a woman is one without a penis. The fact that this woman had a penis means this woman was not a woman, but is a man. Period. mspart
