Do you believe others try to manipulate us because we try to manipulate them?  Would they stop if Mary Poppins were running the show over here?

no.

and neither would we.

right now on twitter im the opposite.

i get a mix... but mostly leftist sites... in fact, everyday, the first 3 or 4 posts i see are from left leaning parties

so i see all kinds of points of view

wait, attacking a federal building... trying to burn it down...

but yeah... not the same ...

i guess J6 really wasn't that bad. 

The organization has bailed out eight protesters so far, which has cost about $8,000, she said.

Police reports show at least 86 protesters have been arrested since Friday. About three-fourths have been released on their own recognizance and do not have bail, Cates said.

Okay, we're referencing two separate events.  Incidentally, the article you linked discusses people being arrested in the 2020 event as well.

im not sure they are separate... continued is more like it

in my post.. 7 were arrested after 50 days of attacks...

7

2 days? 

it's like a year.

the building was under assault for a year i guess.

It took five second to find the people were being arrested and charged within two days of the event.

DC is a different jurisdiction.

um, none of that is in dc

a few weeks ago.. a clash of supposed redneck racist groups clashed.

one group(who doesn't wear masks) unmasked a few members of the other

many conservatives claim that the masked group is feds... and a few actually found their internet presence...

wondering if anything ever came of that?

From a high level, I say they should get bail.  On the practical side, they should be treated like everyone else.  If people that smash into secure facilities and assault police officers typically get bail, they should get bail.

well, kamala harris' group paid the bail for 2020 rioters...

and no one was ever charged or arrested(as far as i can tell ) for the continued assault on fed buildings in portland

The important thing here is that Russia absolutely, and without a doubt, made efforts to influence the election. So "Russian influence" is factual. Their efforts may have been a significant factor... or not. How successful they were is basically impossible to pin down.

"Russian collusion", on the other hand, would involve a relationship between Trump and his campaign directly with the Russians. Collusion was never proven. May have been a "witch hunt" or maybe just didn't have enough evidence... hard to say, we just don't know.

Given these circumstances, we've got more questions than answers. It could have been a lot of things. The only thing we know is that... we don't really know.

The only thing we can take away from this is that the current Russian government is, without a doubt, rotten to the core and the enemy of the USA. 

 

oh wait.. the 80's called...

you didn't answer the question

i posted the one guy alone b/c he is wearin a suit

a nice one at that

usually all rules/laws etc  are made in response to something. remember the phrase: there oughta be a law.

they used to get stricter as things went, and how the 'system' saw people abuse or avoid or loophole the law

so i would guess that most bail systems have become what they are b/c you are dealing with people who aren't really caring about what the court wants them to do.

i would guess that a person who really wants to clear his name is not going to skip bail.

and i agree its not right for the rest of us... who might get caught up in the system... or those who can't afford the bail etc.

im just saying... the 'system' is following the old adage... fool me once... shame on you... 

fool me twice... shame on me.

More than zero.

Also not the point.  The point is a great many are acquitted by the court system instead of being sent there in the first place.  Individual rights are supposed to be paramount.

i agree

it was a joke.

must have never seen shawshank redemption

FIFY Gone is the concept of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?

really.. you know how many people in prison are innocent right?

Wow, you're even worse at this than I thought.  The post of the video of MTG stroking Trumps cutout,  that did not mention or respond to you in anyway, that you quoted just two hours ago and immediately started defending yourself that you don't like the "republican AOC" (yet another subtle whatabout).

 

 

you posted the video of mtg.

and really. i dont care to be good at this.

That image needs context.

ok. who was the audience?

adults or kids?

supposedly there are adults in congress. 

my position is that those kinds of images should not be shown to kids. 

so i made a joke about those members of congress throwing a temper tantrum.. like children...

Yet you felt the need to personally defend yourself, quoting a video that didn’t mention you in anyway? 
 

Did I mention….you’re not very good at this? 

quoting a video? which video did i quote...

Just now, WrestlingRasta said:

Again you’re not very good at this. Let me see if I can help you.   I didn’t say anything relating to whose problem it is, I said you’re not very good at this. Why? 
 

Well you come into a thread discussing MTG with your first whatabout….schools.   That wasn’t getting the play you wanted so you went to another unrelated whatabout….immigrants in Chicago. That got about as much play as the thread you put it in originally, so you went to another what about….. immigrants in New York, stating ‘this is you’, even though the topic was MTG and porn. 
 

So I guess the only question I have is…..which of these unrelated topic problems are you referring to that I don’t care about??

when did i ever mention mtg? i said i dont like the republican aoc.. but that was well after anything we were posting about

ok. i see the problem. the point went way over your head...as usual.

you said you weren't worried about porn in schools b/c it wasn't in  your area.   someone else's problem.

so i made a connection.. see.. people with brains... they can do that..   NYC mayor was all like.. we love migrants... texas you are whiny about nothing.

then, when he found out... he was like... we can't take it... and well.. texas has a lot more than that.

and so you... YOU will find out when it is in  your backyard..that maybe you should have done something sooner...

maybe? 

stop committing crime. then there wont be much to be unjust about

lol...simultaneously increase crime and deilver justice..

yes.. im a criminal who can't afford bail.. so i get to go do harm to someone else... and this is somehow justice...

yes, more willful obliviousness or obtusenes...

take you pick
