Appeals court just handed down their decision; Mike Pence will have to testify in from of the J6 grand jury. He has insider knowledge that will now be in play with Trump's role.

In the Carroll case the jury has been selected, opening arguments today and the judge has advised Trump's attorney that Trump must knock off all the social media posts. Good luck with that.

Enjoying your new self-appointed role as bulletin board arbiter are you, Chris?

I find your warm, fuzzy, hugs and kisses, let’s all hold hands and sing Kumbaya stance pretty rich. And completely laughable, since you spent how many days - and how many posts - berating someone here for the smallest thing, in a thread where you made mis-statements, too.

If you want to excuse, normalize, or somehow treat as acceptable the completely deranged, racist, sexist and anti-democratic words and deeds from a dangerous demagogue like guilty donnie or unapologetic fascists like mt greene, boebert, gaetz and jordan, then that is on you.

I’m not going to normalize such aberrant behavior. I will continue to call it out, make fun of it, shout over the top of it, belittle and deride it, lampoon it, call it names and more. All. The. Time. Without regard to what you think about it.

You don’t like how I refer to the useless, narcissistic, guilty, dumb-a$$, criminal, sociopathic, orange, Depends wearing, pu$$y-grabber? Tough. I ain’t buying what you are selling. I’m also not going to take lessons on internet etiquette from someone who’s been booted off – how many, now? - other bulletin boards.

Go find something else to fix on the Internet.

I use facts or use a persons own words to push back against that person's argument. If a person is upset by facts or the fact of their own words, that's not my problem.

I get that you are morally out raged by Trumpism tactics, I am too. However expressing that outrage by using derogatory language only weakens your argument and alienates those you are trying to persuade.

You doubled down on that derogatory language here while you criticize others you oppose for doing the same thing as you are doing.

You are correct when you state, refering to Trumpism rhetoric that you also employ, quote;

"It is, however, not even remotely normal discourse, nor are their views an acceptable starting point for any sort of rational political discussion."

It is you sir who "normalize such aberrant behavior" by using the same derogatory language tactics as those you oppose.

I will continue to call it out. As I've pointed out this is a societal problem that negatively effects children.

And please point out any mis-statement that I have made with actual facts in the form of a quote and not in the form of your opinion not backed up by facts.

Adam Kinzinger was a Republican Congressman. But you do you.

Obviously he is a Republican. Trump calls him a rino.

I'm changing my voter status as a reaction to the extreme derogatory rhetoric from the left directed at the right. . Not a liberal value and sets a poor example that children pick up on (model) .

Don't want any part of it as that poor behavioral example, in my opinion supported by data, leads to school bullying which in turn leads to mental health issues for all involved. Most School shooters have been bullied and seek retribution.

Here is an example of the extreme rhetoric as I found your exact quote recently in my notes.

"So those who choose not to get vaccinated are harming me and others through their selfishness, laziness, and ignorance.

This is why I think vaccine refusers should be rounded up, strapped down, and vaccinated with a dull needle"

But you do you.

Oh and look what a member of the House j6 committee just posted on Twitter. Doesn't this type of juvenile attack cause him to lose credibility and therefore call into question j6 committee findings?

All this back and forth divisive "crap" is just going to cause citizens to drop out of the process, ie, not vote. Isn't that the goal that many liberals seem to be unwittedly buying into?

My reaction will be to change my voter status from Democrat to independent. The extremes are not a club I desire to join or support.

Your thread title and opening remarks read like a derogatory attack Trump might lanch, only a bit more crude. Many other so called " liberals" condemn this type of rhetoric when it comes from Trump but feel perfectly comfortable using it themselves.

What gives?

A good analysis of why then orange sh*t stain on our democracy should be barred from running for president:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... bert-reich

“The most obvious question in American politics today should be: why is the guy who committed treason just over two years ago allowed to run for president?

Answer: he shouldn’t be.

Remember? Donald Trump lost re-election but refused to concede and instead claimed without basis that the election was stolen from him, then pushed state officials to change their tallies, hatched a plot to name fake electors, tried to persuade the vice-president to refuse to certify electoral college votes, sought access to voting-machine data and software, got his allies in Congress to agree to question the electoral votes and thereby shift the decision to the House of Representatives, and summoned his supporters to Washington on the day electoral votes were to be counted and urged them to march on the US Capitol, where they rioted.

This, my friends, is treason.”
