Any act of violence or threat thereof in order to alter the policy of a Government is... by definition... an act of terrorism.

So again, you keep making statements in a manner that I disagree with the statement.

Violence for political reasons is terrorism.

But... the point that I was making and that you did not address was that a walmart super center is simply not as important to our democracy in both ideology and fact.

Congress does not meet and vote on matters such as certifying the presidential election in the fucking Pet Supplies area of Walmart.

Terrorism exists in all political persuasions. It is also not always unjustifiable. Were Iraqis who had their families blown up by American bombs justified in committing acts of terrorism? Were the founding fathers justified in committing acts of terrorism against the British government? There is more nuance to terrorism than people are comfortable with.

Yes it is important to keep people safe while performing their Democratic duties, but it is NOT more important than keeping pet supplies employees safe while earning a living.

even merkel is critcizing these actions

MERKEL

Now that is very f***ing surprising 😂

Doesn't fit the script, right?

Again... presuming my position again.

You can find several places in this chat where I have criticized Obama with is Drone Happy Stupidity as being the single best recruitment tool ISIS had....

But.... we will simply have to agree to disagree that the the Arts and Crafts Department at Walmart needs the same level of security as the White House of Capitol Building - and honestly I find it almost mind boggling that you would hold that position.

Merkel is defending free speech more than the american left

Merkel is German they have a great history with controlling Nazis in their country

Well... "more than" is a subjective term. But... the US is not the only country to value Free Speech. For some reason American seem to forget that the overwhelming majority of nations in the world have some level of Free Speech and many of those have protections broader than does the US.

there is no 'some level of free speech'

you either have it or you dont

if you are free to say what i like, you are not free

Free speech doesn’t extend to attacking the nations capital and murdering people

I didn’t say that the arts and crafts department needs the same security as the Capitol building. My point is that when both experience violent riots, one should not spark outrage while the other apathy. The whole point of government in the first place is to protect the rights and safety of the people that pay for it. Otherwise, why not do away with it?

We aren’t taking queues from Germany in dealing with Trumpism

We need that same energy as when the deranged leftist shot up the congressional baseball game. He was a leftist so nobody cared to spark outrage over someone on the left going crazy, but also, it was like, this is just one of many bad things that happen and now we move on without impeaching anyone just because they are a special class of people.

Good on Merkel. (I don’t think I’ve ever said that one before). Well, at least she’s not blinded by her dislike for trump.

she definitely is blinded by her hate for trump, but apparently she has the foresight to see what this shit will lead to

Well I know she is usually, she can’t stand him. But she’s not blinded this time, which should tell people something....

"A VIOLENT INSURRECTION"

THEY WERE IN THE BUILDING SO THIS IS LITERALLY THE END OF OUR DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS

Does he look like a terrorist to you? 😂😂

I love how entering the Capitol building is the end of our Democratic instution at the same time as big tech banning an entire half of the country’s political views

Even a small child understands two wrongs doesn’t make a right🤷. Y’all love to gish gallop around irrelevant events in defense of terrorists

I didn’t say anything about anyone being wrong in this instance. I’m also not calling for blood or impeachment or banning people from technology

I’d hate for you to ever come across a real terrorist. Stay in your bubble, your safe place.

You don’t own a technology company. It’s not up to you what terms of service are used for a platform you own 😂

Are you suggesting that I am apathetic toward the loss of property, lives and injuries sustained by those trying to keep rioters and looters in check?

If so please point me to my statement that gave you that opinion so I can clarify it for you.

Nothing I have said in here should have logically led you to that assumption.

What I have said and stand by as both rational, logical and likely the position of the majority of Americans is that the places where our elected representatives carry out the business of the people and conduct their duties as required by the US Constitution are more critical to democracy than a fucking walmart. The fact that this is a topic of debate for you is shocking to me.

What happened that day was an act of terrorism you can sugar coat it how you like.....it is what it is...stop watching fox news.

Now the right wants to tell corps how to run their business. Socialists 😂

i don't give a fuck which side of the aisle people are. the vice president of the United States was in that building. what the fuck would a mob chanting "hang mike pence" do to him if they got him. fuck that.

sickening.

Those were probably peaceful ieds and Molotov cocktails

peaceful my fucking ass. anybody seen the footage.

@SANCTIONED does this bloke with the podium look like his mission was to hang Mike Pence?

motherfuckers beat a police officer to death with a flag pole and an American flag.

have you seen any of the footage of that day? or do you just watch fox?

i can happily point you in the right direction.
