***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I've said from the beginning (2016) -- if you at any point supported for Trump, whether defending him verbally or by voting for him or buying a MAGA hat or donating to his campaign or the campaign of anybody who supports him, you are responsible for him and his actions, at least partially. We knew from day one who he was because he told us who he was. It wasn't a mistake to support him at any point. It was wrong.

That said, people can change, and that is ok. Many of us in here have evolved over the years. But we didn't keep posting in here trying to defend our past selves.

Calling the rhetoric dangerous seems to be the opposite of normalizing it.

So I guess you deleting that part makes sense for your narrative.

hmmm almost seems like if it wasn’t an empty statement you wouldn’t have voted for it twice if you really believed it was dangerous. But let’s keep ignoring the fact that you voted for him again after he ran his entire second term platform on placating to racists

Yet you voted for him twice and supported him as president while he was president. Guess it wasn’t so “dangerous”

I've never seen someone defend a Pedo with more bass boost than Delk. KHUFU

Why are there protestors?

and what are they protesting?

 

[5o'clockShadowBoxer]

Why are there protestors?

and what are they protesting?

Anti-vaccine folks, far right people......... not surprising.

Anti-Vaxers

Are they just saying that they don’t want to be forced to take a mental health exam from their local state bar?

To be fair, what does he need impeachment lawyers for?

He could go in there and say he did it because Republicans are awful and won't convict him no matter what, and they wouldn't convict him.

Seems like a funding issue

 

[frink85]

so "Stop Da Steal" is more important to him than "Don't Get Convicted In The Senate, Stain Your Reputation Even More, Be Barred From Holding Public Office Again, And Possibly Lose Your Pension"

mans got his priorities in order.

Opening for Delk? Will his shift at Wendy's end in enough time to do proper trial prep?

Anti-vaxers aren't necessarily far right. The greater Seattle area (especially Vashon Island, which is a 15-minute ferry ride from West Seattle) is an anti-vaxxer haven, and most of them are liberal as hell. Anti-vax does not discriminate.

Never Forget!!! Unless you're a white lady of course.

Not sure why you would think I’m saying they were. I was putting them in sequence, i.e. my favorite teams are the Giants, Mets., etc........
And I’m aware of folks in that area. I was stationed at Bremerton in the Navy and Ft. Lewis in the Army.

If there is a god, he’ll put Rudy back in the lead for the impeachment defense

All of the sudden you’ll hear glass shatter and Rudy will walk into the trial like

Your comment implied they were the same crowd.

 

[5o'clockShadowBoxer]

Your comment implied they were the same crowd.

Didn’t imply it. That would mean I had intent for it to be taken as such. You interpreted it that way. If they were to be grouped together, I would have used “the far-right, anti-vaccine people.” Folks AND people. That’s what I used after anti-vaccine and far-right.
