"Pearl clutching hysteria? A SC justice was flying the modern day equivalent of the confederate flag."
Repeating the same silly phrase.
"frankly, I have little respect for anyone that follows the news and ISN'T alarmed by -------."
What makes you think I am not alarmed by -------?, Of course I am. I don't think that justifies engaging in unsuported hyperbole. In fact, I think doing so energizes his base in opposition and gives him more power. Keep your criticisms honest and supported by evidence and you may just gain some ground.
"Your comments about a calendar are beyond ridiculous. You act like what Alito did (oh, excuse me, his WIFE did-LOL) happened in a vacuum, like the political and judicial establishment didn't have -------'s insurrection at top of mind."
No doubt they did, and many people thought "America is Doomed" because of the insurrection. And considering that is a common motivation for flying the upside-down flag, that is possinly her motive
"You act like 11 days after an unprecedented attack on democracy and the peaceful transfer of power is some remote and forgotten time"
Nope, I don't. I "act like" it wasn't common knowledge at the time that the upside-down flag was"the modern day equivalent of the confederate flag" and you have provided absolutely no evidence that Mrs. Alito knew, or should have known that either.
"-I cannot take you serious if you take that position"
You mean the position you have assigned to me? Or my actual position which I haven't really laid out for you to see at all.?
"----, there were discussions on whether ------- would even leave the WH on 1/20 at that point."
Yep, sounds like a good time to fly a "Our country is doomed" kinds symbolic flag. Some people lkely flew it for that very reason.
"I personally witnessed upside-down flags in the late fall of 2020 on properties likewise flying ------- flags."
Not in Alexandria you didn't
"In 2020, the upside-down flag became more firmly established as an emblem of Trump supporters who denied the legitimacy of Mr. Biden's victory, said Alex Newhouse, a researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder."
Said Alex Newhouse in 2024
"It's very, very common in MAGA communities and QAnon communities," he said.
Said Alex Newhouse in 2024. Alexandria is not a MAGA or QAnon community.
"But you refuse to acknowledge this truth."
Why is YOUR opinion THE truth
"Which is more likely Alito's wife (who trust me has to be a political animal and UNDERSTANDS that every action she takes reflects on her husband)
There you go reading minds again.
"decides to participate in a petty feud with a neighbor"
Who called her a --- and blamed her for the insurrection? Sure why not
"OR Alito-an avowed republican partisan who has subsequently acted quite openly in protecting ------- from being held accountable for his insurrection"
Huh? how did he protect -------? Did the Liberal Justices who joined him on the Colorado decision also protect -------?
"My personal opinion is that the former is patently ridiculous and the latter true beyond a reasonable doubt."
Good thing you will never be allowed to serve on a jury. Both sides would mark you for elimination, because you completely lack objectivity. Can't hide that.
"Alito has proven himself a liar on the RvW issue, so there is that"
Quote the lie please? (hint, you wont find what you think you are looking for)
