Some might say the path to unification, means looking beyond the recent events and kiss and kiss and make up. I think we have to identify every terrorist including the insiders who assisted by providing useful intel to the bad guys. The US senate can do a lot for unity by voting unanimously voting to convict Trump; then falling in line behind the new president like a good little American. I never loved Trump but I did nothing to interfere with his presidency beyond the impediments I could legally place in his way by voting for candidates who wouldn't support his evil agenda.
And there needs to b e really stiff sentences handed out to any and all that participated in the invasion and destruction and thefts from the Capitol. They should squeeze as much financial restitution as humanly possible out of perps as well as prison where appropriate.
Nancy Pelosi and the Left Wing (democrat owned) media has made sure they planted the seeds for a new civil war. I'm sorry to say that its way too late for unity. It would be great if we could have that but with the left wing media brainwashing the left into thinking EVERYONE with policy differences (even black people) are RACIST, its never gonna happen...not ever! The American experiment is over.
If you don't listen to Left-wing media where are you going to go to hear the truth? I begin my day with NPR News which isn't owned by either party. Blaming Pelosi and the left wing for the civil war is just like blaming the rape victim for being too attractive. Did you vote for any of the nuts who want to bring guns onto the House floor?
NPR is government propaganda, has been for decades. Get better informed. Alex Jones has more credibility than NPR, PBS, and the rest of shill gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex Aristocracy media at this point, and that's truly sad. And if you think a gratuitous, grandstanding impeachment conviction without evidence of any crime, in which POTUS, ANY POTUS, was not given due process rights by the House, and that will further enrage voters who believe the election was stolen, their votes no longer count, and the government in Washington is now illegitimate, think again. Or rather -think- for the first time because it's obvious that you haven't yet.
Who invented without any proof that the elections had been rigged? Who did everything to fanaticize his base against Biden/Pence leading to a murderous riot on Capitol Hill? Who insulted for 4 years all those who had the slightest dissenting thought towards the GOP? Who had an 85% staff turnover rate because he was unable to work with anyone? Who is going to leave the WH without attending the inauguration of his successor and never even talking to him to ensure a normal transition?
"Alex Jones has more credibility"? It's too bad that the Republican party has become the party of crackpot's We can't worry about enraging voters who are too stupid to know the truth when they hear it. I don't know what we are going to do with these losers, but I Don't think appeasing them is the answer. I guess reeducation camps are off the table.We have to do something quick or these nuts will try to kill every Republican senator who votes to convict.
That would also be an appropriate response to rioters who invade, vandalize, loot, or burn businesses, no matter what the cause.
The first step is to stop looking at opposing views as evil. The righteous mind is a product of our environment. Some of us are born where hamburgers are common food while others can't believe others eat a sacred animal. If you see opposing views as evil, you must accept that your own views are the same in their eyes. The path to unification is giving up on forcing our beliefs on others. The only way to do that is to reduce government power through lower taxes. That way, people can believe that being gay, owning a gun, having an abortion, smoking a plant, etc are evil without infringing on the rights of others.
You are not going to hear the truth on Left wing Media - on many issues .. depends on the issue. Same with Fox. If you don't listen to RT where are you going to hear the Truth ? Agreed - and so is Blaming Trump for "Domestic Terrorism" - quit being so hypocritical would be should follow. There is no "Civil War" - what we do have is "Civil Unrest" - which is a function of deepening inequality -and trampling on essential liberty. Both Red and Blue have a hand in this - and do not appear to be putting the brakes on anytime soon .. so get ready for more.
Maybe now that Democrats are in charge, they can pass “tough on crime”, “no tolerance for riots” laws. Every cloud has a silver lining, ya know?
Donald Trump is a bigger enemy of the United States than Osama Bin laden ever hoped to be. His stupidity alone has killed 400 thousand Americans.
I don't know anyone who would disagree with that. I hope by bringing that up you are trying to justify the actions of these Trump style Republicans. I just heard that the FBI caught one in my city.
I am not trying to justify ANYBODY rioting. What I am saying is that we should come down just as hard on an antifa rioter who does the same things in Portland or Seattle as the Capitol rioters. No double standards.
What I am saying is we should come down just as hard on people who kill doctors who perform abortions. What aboutism isn't conducive to productive dialog is it?
In a nutshell - Just heard an interview of one of the police officers who was dragged down into the crowd and beaten, he thought he was going to die ... luckily, there were a few calmer heads in the crowd that got him to safety ... his response to those people who helped him was classic and encompasses the whole event - "Thank you for helping me, but **** you for being there in the first place."
I think it is. If we as a society are treating the same crimes differently because of our political biases, we are wrong. It happens, and we are wrong when we do it.
The last thing I want to do right now is reduce the power of the government. We have a full scale insurgency going on right now. We need all the resources we can muster to quell. it. George W. Bush is the only president I ever heard of who lowered taxes during a war.
So you believe the results in California are what is best for the country? I live in Los Angeles and in spite of strict shutdowns and mandates, Hospitals are over capacity. I am curious why people continue to cheer for more government while ignoring results/
You've got a disturbing view of what makes "a good little American." It also seems that your ethics are quite situational. When a Republican is in power, leftists recite "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" and "Resistance!", and then when a dem is in power, it's "let's all fall in line behind the president". You're simply not credible when your position flip-flops this severely and this quickly.
