Will Republicans end social security?

child labor took over.

They merely did what we did just a generation or two before. It really wasn't long ago that you had to have a really good reason to stay in school past the 5th grade when your family really needed you working a job to generate income.

ballots versus voters, that's what we're discussing. mail in ballots was illegal.

No it's not. We've had mail in ballots since the Civil War.

I myself voted mail in ballot from 1978 to 1998, and again in 2020 and 2022. Will probably vote mail in ballot in 2024.

I don't need anyone explaining anything to me to make my position known. I have a fking brain and see with my own eyes and tax dollars. Nothing at all about corporations. I also, like working americans, and unions hate working americans.

What a ******* fool. I grew up in MI from 1970-NOW. Every 3rd house was union. Those guys made a fortune. They created a middle class the world had never seen before. I don't know what red neck state you live in but they even brought up your wages goober.

Let's see, I say, "Riot at the Capitol = Bad" and you ask "Are you saying the riot at the Capitol was NOT bad??"

I guess we'd have to specify WHICH riot at the capitol though. We had one when they were confirming Justice Kavanaugh and some malcontents tried to stop the proceedings of the Senate. Is that the one you're referring to?

You also said CHAD=Good

That’s weird huh?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Anyone comparing the Kavanaugh protest to J6 is a fatuous silly prat.

The person to whom I was responding understands what I was getting at.

Both riots had the same intent, to disrupt government proceedings.

Make yourself clear.

Make yourself clear.

I did, sarcastically, to the person to whom I was responding. I was not aware that you wanted to police the language of the conversation.

So as noted...your post of "Riot in the Capitol=Bad" was sarcastic as well and you don't believe it was bad...

That's what I said...

I was commenting on the obvious disconnect between calling J6 an "insurrection" and waxing self-righteously indignant about it while silently approving of the other, which was a blatant rebellion against the authority of the country, state and city it was in and temporarily successful overthrow of that authority over the ground they were on. You're fishing and not catching anything.

Actually I caught you in an obvious lie.

Wow, the dodge of the incompetent. Who didn't expect that?

Unfathomable irony

Both riots had the same intent, to disrupt government proceedings.

One was a protest, the other a riot. Grow up.

Semantics. Both groups had the same goal, to interfere with the functioning of government and disrupt the process of installing someone they didn't like into a position of power.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

As Rush said, words have meanings. Hadit is wrong with insisting his fallacy of false equivalency makes sense.

I think I see where you went wrong, the two events are not equivalent. I am merely pointing out that the groups that carried out the events both had the same goal, to interfere with government proceedings, they REALLY did not like. I find it amazing that you cannot see that.

Words DO have meaning, and you make the claim that the events were not both riots, therefore I'll ask you. At what point does an activity like invading office buildings, banging on doors, yelling and screaming and in general making a nuisance of yourself trying to stop something government is doing cross the line from "protest" to "riot"?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You used a false equivalence. That is what went wrong.

While the two groups had a similar motive, one was legal and the other was a riot. You cannot degrade the protest or elevate the riot with a comparison.

Why cannot you see that?

Our open border and fiscal irresponsibility will end SS. Most of that blame is on Democrats.
