It is a FAR different thing taking a selfie with a rioter and actively participating in the insurrection, and aiding/abetting the potential harm of a senate member. "Showing them around" could very easily be a diversionary tactic to keep them AWAY from where they were hiding.

I have no doubt she had much to fear from the angry insurrectionist traitors. However, she is accusing the Capitol police of collision without any evidence whatsoever, and for that she is absolutely wrong.

George Washington. Without question or hesitation.

So all this discussion about labels, is great. Labels and easy slogans are how America runs..........MAGA anyone??

But the bottom line is, how do you reach the American voters that are easily led and easily swayed by lies and misinformation? This country needs to remove the caps to what is taxable for social security purposes and cap the annual withdrawal amounts, and remove the caps for Medicare. When medical problems are the number one cause of bankruptcy, that is unacceptable.

What a fascinating case. The cop is an abject piece of trash, and hope he goes to jail no matter what, but if it leads to a modernization of the statute, at least something positive came from it.

#59 in the narrow terms of this debate of using violent language toward opponents?

Yes. They are. Before they are all humans. And humans are ugly and violent.

And yet, snoofy, have made Trump the most threatened president in history after 4 years. Was that conservative threatening him? Or liberals?

I'll wait.

Religious right

This isn't you misunderstanding me, this is you willfully ignoring the point.

Trying to paint the rebellious right as the advocators of threatening opponents is stupid. Liberals love to threaten their opponents just as much.

It doesn't make this any less wrong.

You know that, but you don't like it.

You're reading comprehension is so unbelievably flawed. At no point have I ever condoned this. Did you even graduate elementary school?

And who has ever said that isn't correct? Anyone that needs that much religion, needs to be led in every aspect of their lives. They can't navigate the world on their own.

But that doesn't mean violence is their exclusive purview. Liberals love them some violence too.

41: my point was never that this wasn't wrong. I was pointing out gals either ignorance or hypocrisy. I am not sure which one it is.

Actually, I'm agnostic. The Christian Right holds no interest for me. But, I find it terribly amusing when people like to pigeon hole one group for a a behavior that crosses all lines. People, all people, are complete d bags. Especially in large groups. They can't help themselves.

And using threats against the president is means of demonstrating the stupidity. I am not turning it around. I am holding a mirror to this nonsense.

Is this attorney a d bag for threatening anyone? Of course he is. But to full throatedly lay this at the feet of the Christian Right, when liberals love to threaten violence against everyone as well, is funny.

There is complete equivalence, because no one is anonymous on the internet. Not ever. I pray you have taught your children that.

#31. Actually, you can. If you can get them identified through subpoenas, of course you can. Why do you think you can't??

How many have you seen or read about threatening the president.... hell threatening anyone.... and going to jail? Not many. My cousin is in the usss and they take that's pretty seriously, but even he says they aren't getting anyone prosecuted for it. It has to be serious.

The law treats it The same. Why shouldn't we? She mentioned a few things by specific individuals, but at the end grouped threatening language into the Christian Right. Do we honestly think it was the Christian Right pushing trump into the most threatened president in history? I don't think so.

Also. Conflating this language to be the exclusive province of the Christian Right is demonstrably.... laughably even.... incorrect and stupid.

#22. I am incredulous that Gal is shocked to discover people of all colors, creeds, political persuasions, and stations in life are complete ------ and threaten others put of habit.

#6. I guess you've never been on the internet before. Nice to see a first timer.

Or maybe you didn't know that each president starting with Bush was the most threatened president in history? Both sides love to get on the Internet and threaten death to politicians they don't like. Every. Single. Day.

I am not being a smart ---, but if they are so overwhelmed with patients, how are practices also struggling financially? That part of it doesn't make sense to me. Do covid patients not pay? Or return less income?

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen any video taken from inside the bus.

I doubt that very much, but you are also entitled to your opinion, regardless of how incorrect it is.

#29 yeah I hope there are more videos. I have seen nothing indicating they tried to slow the bus down. They are rolling down the Highway at over 60 mph with trucks in front and in all sides in every video I've seen. To me it just looks like a bunch of dbags being dbags, but no real malicious intent.

From the very short clips it looks like the campaigners are being overly sensitive and over reacting, but without the context of more video footage, who knows?

This is boorish and unnecessary behavior. Who's minds are you changing? What votes are you helping to win? None.

It's stupid and never should have been done.

That said, the available videos are obviously incomplete as they don't show every second of the trip, but the accident is shown in a video pretty clearly. The white car with the Biden staffer clearly goes into the lane already occupied by the black truck. It's going to be rough in court to prove the truck instigated contact as it looks like it has the right of way.

I'm not sure how you could ever work out similar numbers ofvoting machines per capita. Cities, especially cities like NYC are so densely populated either more rural/suburban precincts would be allowed 1. Or, every polling site in the city would need to be an auditorium with 100s of machines.

I guess not an impossible task, but it would certainly be Herculean.

I'd have to check, but I think they give every precinct the same number of machines and are just done with it.
