While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So something that applies only to the actual Rules of the House of Representatives, and not to speeches, bills or other House business, is ... not being applied to speeches, bills or other House business? Wow, the absolutely shocking ... consistency, I guess?

FIFY

Changed it back to the correct information, since Trond still lacks reading comprehension. Given X that applies only to Y and that does not apply to Z, not applying X to Z is consistent.

LOL at insurrection.  I guess all that matters is who's windows get broken to go from a peaceful protest to insurrection.

Insurrectionists wanted to kill the Vice President and legislators.

This was serious, but exactly how serious is not fully known. Let's wait for the results of the investigations that are just starting.

It occurs to me that a legitimately elected President would not need 30,000 soldiers to make sure that he gets sworn in.

It seems advisable to have those troops there to protect the current Vice President, who was just recently the target for assassination by violent insurrectionists incited by the current President.

Happily, the amount of election disinformation has decreased substantially since Twitter banned Trump; the R0 value may finally be below 1.

Shit man, there were assassins targeting the Vice President?

Why have there been no stories about it, that sounds like it would be big news.

The fact that a Q-tard congresswoman threw a fit when metal detectors were installed tells me there might be something to this one.
Anyone who complains when their civil liberties are infringed is obviously guilty.

What bullshit. Anyone who boards a plane or sets foot in a courthouse has to go through metal detectors. No one's rights are being infringed.

It was serious....?

How many were armed?  How many people did they kill? 

I certainly hope the FBI investigates as thoroughly as they did all of the people who said they wanted to kill Donald Trump over the last 5 years.

You don't think that in any country, the minority would try to take over the government by force? That seems incredibly naive to me. The vast majority of dictatorships and authoritarian governments were perpetrated by force.

As abolitionist Wendell Phillips wrote, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty". Expecting the enemies of freedom to sit idly by, and not use force, is foolishness.


If Trump supporters want proof that the election isn't legitimate - then they should be collecting together and validating evidence, rather than just waving their hands at Twitter. They should be working with Trump-supporting prosecutors to charge people involved in districts they control. Defrauding election results is a criminal act, and if it exists, it can and should still be prosecuted, even if the new administration takes office. On these forums, it seems consolcwby is the only one still arguing to show how the election was fraud. While I disagree with him on a lot, on this point, I think on that point, he shows integrity.

One civil rights violation can't be used to justify another civil rights violation.

Plus, the TSA is completely useless. It's civil rights abuse under the guise of security theatre.

Thank goodness the MAGA crowd was there to protect the Vice President.

With the firepower that they have there is no way any assassins could succeed.

Do I think that a minority could rule a country with military backing?

You would probably need around 30, 000 troops to pull that kind of stunt off.

Historically even during the Civil War the legitimate President did not need that kind of protection.

Greetings!

Well, concerning 2020 Election fraud, irregularities, and corruption--what is the point in me, personally, arguing it here? People either already understand that fraud and corruption occurred, and is present. People that do not agree that there has been fraud and corruption are not going to be suddenly swayed into seeing the light now because of anything I have said.

As a Racap--

Testimonies and Affidavits--you either believe they are on the whole worthy and should be investigated thoroughly, or not. Several hundred, perhaps more than 1,000 witnesses signing affidavits supporting their testimonies of witnessing fraud and corruption.

Mathematical Analysis--Experts have claimed that Biden's win is impossible. Some here disagree with that assessment.

Computer Analysis--Lots of problems have been identified with algorithms and programs, etc. Not my wheelhouse, but people are screaming that there were lots of problems.

Legal and Constitutional Violations--Various lawyers and experts have pointed out how governors, secretaries of state, attorney generals, in various states have violated their own Constitutions and the US Constitution by changing voting laws and procedures--when it has been stipulated that ONLY a state legislature has such authority.

Election Analysis--bellweather counties being historically won--states like Ohio and Florida being predictors of victory--downballot voting, coattails, all of that supports Trump being the victor. Biden couldn't fill a bus with supporters, while Trump attracted stadiums full of people, even in the fucking rain! Campaign enthusiasm, and so on. According to Biden supporters, none of that matters. Really? Biden is the greatest political genius of American history, winning the Presidency by never leaving his fucking basement. Who'd think that was the winning strategy against a President that fills stadiums full of supporters, and is out campaigning 16 hours a day, five and six days a week?

Election Events--the whole six states stopping their voting procedures in the night, only to continue later on, and experience massive voting dumps where Biden who was behind Trump by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of votes--somehow, in the morning, Biden comes out as the winner. In each and every battleground state that he needed to win the election. How convenient!

So, there isn't any point to trying to argue about it with people that are determined to believe there was "No fraud, no corruption, nothing to see here." Since no one here are government officials employed or lawyers involved directly, everyone ultimately argues based on their opinion. People either believe there is a sufficient preponderance of evidence presented in the public arena showing fraud and corruption, or you don't. It is that simple.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

And just to pile on: no court has actually ruled on the merits of the lawsuits made regarding the election. Yes, the suits have been repeatedly thrown out -- on procedural or standing grounds, NOT on a review of the evidence.

So yeah, the whole 'oh that's been disproven' is a bald faced lie and people who say it should feel bad about themselves.
