  1.  @DudeRX  No, the large number of non-ideological (in principle) civil servants, as opposed to political appointees, is a key part of checks and balances.

  2. "Given by God..." That's inappropriate.

  3.  @rob6850  They were armed. Several were caught with firearms, more guns were stashed nearby, don't forget the explosives, and there were thousands of blades, sprays, tasers/stun guns, and blunt objects. You didn't know this?

  4. How so? She's one of a handful of representatives who actually stands up against reactionaries like this.

  5. You support Putin's aggression?

  6.  @tammybaker6635  They had lots of weapons, including some firearms.

  7. Stop Cop City! Among other reasons, this forest is critical for Atlanta's climate.

  8. US ships? I hope that everyone involved knows about the USS Liberty!

  9. Yeah, I don't want ex-cops in power.

  10. No, nobody here was trying to lynch lawmakers & staff, prevent the certification of an election, and cause a constitutional crisis.

  11. You misunderstand. This complex will destroy a large portion of critical Atlanta forest cover, and I'm not so gullible as to think that the intended purpose is anything positive. Regarding police, room for training is not the problem.

  12. Sort of, although Mein Kampf is mostly just a lot of self-absorbed babbling and rambling.

  13.  @batmanforpresident9655  What's so important about the new footage? You see a lot of people participating just enough to keep the police busy, while the organized groups (and their fellow-travelers) got very close to accomplishing their mission.

  14.  @rob6850  Besides, lots and lots of them were armed!

  15.  @papawheelie5576  Among other thing, you know what he said about the magnetometers, right?

  16.  @thelawnfix6100  The Secret Service has a dummy? (Commas do so much!) Come to think of it, they have numerous dummies.

  17.  @cwkay6847  Her IRS targeted conservative and liberal groups, and only three Democratic-leaning organizations lost their tax-exempt status. The FBI found a lot of "mismanagement, poor judgment, and institutional inertia," but nothing corrupt or otherwise criminal.

  18. What lie?

  19. Holding Trump accountable for something is not a new low. It's quite the opposite, and quite a surprise!

  20. Yes, it's legal.

  21.  @goferizer  No, it works on people foolish enough to bring their phones with them.

  22.  @rayhess3175  Not if someone's smart enough to not have their phone with them.

  23.  @Oldguy1900  That's not true. He has killed one. The cop who shot Ashli Babbitt killed one. The coroner/M.E. said clearly that "all that transpired" played a role in Brian Sicknick's death, so anyone who attacked him bears some of the responsibility for one death. Two men overexerted themselves into coronary-related deaths, and one woman overdosed on amphetamines as she charged into battle, so they indirectly killed themselves. Meanwhile, four cops and a couple of the attackers killed themselves later. Thus, Baldwin has killed one, and several others on J6 have done so as well.

  24.  @stevepitts7998  True.

  25.  @dannihardy7874  You're being silly.

  26. Things may disappear when they get reported, for example.

  27. Indeed, it was worse than that.

  28. The Capitol Police were there at the start! That's their jurisdiction, you silly person! If you're referring to other departments, you're wrong then as well. I don't think that it was Pelosi's job, and Mayor Bowser tried to get more help besides the Metropolitan Police ("Metro PD," not to be confused with the Transit Police who defend the transit system, known as The Metro). MPD showed up in huge numbers. You can also hear audio of attempts to get the Park Police, but it was too late. Meanwhile, Trump sat around for hours (this is documented) before finally being persuaded to do something.

  29.  @unboxedcharacter  Ray Epps had nothing to do with anything. This is ridiculous.

  30. That's what the anti-choicers always say: "Embryos are babies." A few of them do in fact oppose IVF, and at least they're being consistent. Do the anti-choicers really want to save embryos, or do they just want to punish people for having sex?

  31.  @tammybaker6635  That's not true. Please get off of this conspiracy nonsense.

  32. Evidence?

  33.  @papawheelie5576  Isn't it obvious? His supporters were armed, and yet that didn't bother him.

  34. It's already publicly available.

  35. And?

  36.  @bwill2663  Sure, what's your point?

  37. And if he has to become a refugee someday, what then?

  39. Gym Jordan is a pervert and/or he covers for perverts.

  40.  @kenturner3268  That's not a rebuttal.

  41.  @Oldguy1900  That's comically disingenuous. The point is that he's killed one person. Some of the people on J6, on either side, did the same. Several other deaths are directly tied to the event, but are either suicides or accidental, so that's not really the same thing. I categorized the deaths and explained the differences.

  42. He didn't say it was a setup.

  43.  @georgepoirier9014  You don't know what you're talking about.

  44.  @albclean  No, so-called "government welfare" did not. That's a non sequitur.

  45. I don't know, but so what?

  46.  @Abyssdiver  I have been to Portland. The US has seen a disturbing uptick in violence in the past 18 months or so, but overall crime has actually decreased. Yes, the civil unrest did in fact occur in my metaphorical backyard, on the other side of the country.

  47.  @samuraiwarrior87  That's actually spelling, not grammar. Which post of mine are you challenging? I'm not sure which one it is.

  48. And?

  49. Sure, and?

  50. And?
