#13: no. It doesn't. It requires an attempt to overthrow or disrupt the legitimately elected government. You are inventing a definition to suit your needs. It doesn't require competence, like most things, it only requires intent. In other words: if they were there to disrupt the vote counting in an effort to delay the the inauguration in a fevered attempt to keep the previous administration in power, that's an insurrection or a coup.

#11 and don't forget we were also saved by the complete incompetence of the attempted coupers.

Maybe someone can answer this: AT&T suffered 200 million in losses due to non payment after the phones were unlocked. I get that and I know why he was sentenced. What I'm not understanding is, why did he do it in the first place? How did he make any money at this scheme? Did the people whose phones he unlocked pay him instead or something?

So, Boaz. Please tell me where a gay person wouldn't be wanted and that is okay? Please tell me where their not allowed to go and it isn'ta horrific example of violating their civil rights. I'll accept just one.

#41. I was born and raised on cape cod. The gay vacation capital of the nation, Provincetown, is there. It's the best place for shopping for any eclectic item you might need, or whale watching so we went up there every couple of years.( It was a 50 mile drive) Since I grew up around it, it never registered as a big deal. It was as normal as any other group. But every so often you'd see guys get stupid and then put in their place quickly. Those guys work out and do nothing but fight i for their lives ALL the time. They are not to be trifled with.

My wife and I love going there whenever we make it back to the cape. But when we bring our kids or friends, They have to be prepped for what they will see and to not make a scene.

Okay. Even if that were true, that doesn't change the FACT, they were trying to overturn the results by preventing the verification of the electoral college voting and force a constitutional crisis.

You are in very shaky ground saying absentee voting has issues, when it's been allowed as a legitimate form of voting for years. Just because it increased in scale doesn't delegitimize it as a voting method.

Denying . Sheesh.

#75 huh? Are you debuting they wanted to disrupt and stop the certifying of the electoral college votes? Despite l like ALL of them saying that's what they wanted to do? Oh and then hunting through the halls to find where they were conducting the certification?

I mean. It was a terribly dumb thing to say, but he isn't wrong. African Americans are coming down with a covid at rates higher than their population, whites and Hispanics less than their population percentage.

I need to stop day drinking:

"Declaring" Biden the winner.

Electoral college "results"

"Would" have kept Trump in office

Bah.

Boaz: are you really denying that the purpose of the move was to try and prevent the certification of the electoral college votes?

I'm serious. That was exactly what they were trying to disrupt. A "meeting" to verify the electoral college training Biden as the winner.

The constitution is not at all clear what happens if their is no certified vote, but they wanted to force a constitutional crisis that works have kept Trump in office past January 20th. That's as close as you can get to an insurrection if it isn't one.

If you think that's incorrect, I'd love to hear how.

We should have gone in, wiped out the terrorist training camps, and withdrawn by 2004. All we had to do was tell the Afghanistan people "get your crap together" on our way back out. If terrorists camps start popping up again? We wipe them off the map again. There SSD never a need for long term stability operations in a place where stability doesn't and can't exist.

15. You forget however, mask wearing is a culturally accepted norm in Asian countries, especially Korea and Japan. The moment people feel sick, they wear masks, and have for 50 years at least. Mask mandates don't take anyone by surprise there.

I am but justifying being a anti masker by any means. They work. Period. But it was always going to take longer to gain acceptance here than a a place like Korea.

#12. You literally just said what I said ... and then said I was wrong.

I said they must spend 183 or more days in Georgia ... which she appears to be doing since she has a Georgia drivers license and is registered to vote in Georgia, and hasn't ever tried to register to vote in Texas. A sticking point is the "homestead" exception they are receiving in Texas. That needs a good hard scrutiny.

Sorry ... I meant to say "can't see" in the article because it wants me to turn off my ad blockers to view it, and I won't do that.

Agreed. But if they did, which I didn't see anywhere in the article, this is a giant bag of nothing.

There is nothing wrong with this. If you have residences in two states, you must declare one your primary state. Most people do so in Texas due to the lack of a state income tax, and then according to most state rules you must spend more than half your time in that state in order to receive full rights like voting. That more than half is called the "183" rule. You must spend a minimum of 183 days in your primary state, and 182 anywhere else.

If they've declared Georgia their primary residence, this is much ado about nothing. If they debated Texas their primary residence for tax purposes and voted in Georgia, that'sa crime and I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

The law of unintended consequences strikes again. I hope all of their spikes of pulled pork, bacon, and ham just disappears. The rest of the country can continue to enjoy the goodness.

But I wish they wouldn't have brought his family into it. His poor brother was on the First Lady Obama detail and doesn't need his name associated with his brothers misdeeds.

4 years is a fair sentence considering there isn't any such thing as parole in the federal system. The best he can get is a reduction of 20% for good behavior, but it's incredibly easy to lose your good time in the federal pen. A guy that unhinged is going to do every single day.

Other countries can pay for their own vaccines. The absolute last thing we need to do is add to our deficit vaccinating the world.
