    Minor damage. Over $4 Billion in damages were inflicted on our "historic" cities in just the first two weeks of violent riots last year.

    "Powell’s wild accusations are demonstrably false," Dominion's lawyers said in the complaint. "Far from being created in Venezuela to rig elections for a now-deceased Venezuelan dictator, Dominion was founded in Toronto for the purpose of creating a fully auditable paper-based vote system that would empower people with disabilities to vote independently on verifiable paper ballots."

    But, I really, really, REALLY hope she defends herself in the case... Fool for a client will never have been more accurate...

    I smell a settlement coming someday....

    I got banned from a bar when I was 22, for causing an issue. (True story.)

    The patrons of the bar had no idea where I went.

    Too bad; so sad.

    The deep state is an entrenched bureaucracy that persists through administrations. If that is a concept that is strange to you, just consider how permanent the public face of government is. You've got Senators that have been in office for over 40 years. Now consider that FBI or CIA (among others) agents have safe jobs, and don't have to win an election every few years. Yeah, they're usually in there for life.

    I've clearly condemned them and called for the arrest of anyone involved and prosecution o the full extent as you did not the left wing anarchist. Have you had a sudden epiphany about anarchy or something. You even supported our soon to be VP who not only encouraged them bit raised money to bail them out of jail so they could continue so you have little moral or political standing to attack these mostly peaceful protestors.

    Try arguing what I actually post. I have defended the PROCESS of our elections and the legal contesting of them and it should play out. I have never said Trump was correct in his assertions so until you get that straight there is no point in trying to discuss it with go argue with the mirror.

    Can't answer it can you?
    Thats what I figured.
    I had hoped better from you but I'm not surprised, you radical rightists are all alike, demand everyone else agree with you and offer no reason why.
    Carry on.

    Well, "mostly peaceful" is an error...FIVE people dead, pipe bombs, molotov cocktails, destruction and theft of public property, theft of vital national documents,....leaves you with no moral or political standing to judge :)

    No just like liberal anarchist and how the left said the "mostly peaceful protesters" with their Molotov cocktails and as the arson was burning right behind the MSM reporters in the street, explosives including those aimed at the police, the take over of government buildings and burning them down, the storming of state legislatures, the storming of the White House injuring over 60 Secret Service agents but fortunately the Secret Service and White House Police were able to keep them out, the storming the Supreme Court to stop the constitutional process of confirming a Justice to the Supreme Court where fortunately the Court Police were able to stop them. And no condemnation on your part, the incoming VP who encouraged and supported them. I am the one who has been consistent not you not the leftist nor the Democrats not the MSM. So yes I will use the same descriptors that are now part of our common speech.

    LOL....and see where it gets ya!


    Uh, the charges against Trump's animals will be different.




    ONE BIG THING I don't see YOU objecting to is how different black protesters were treated by police compared to how WHITE TRAITORS were treated by police...



    I'm glad to see you agree the BLM protests were mostly peaceful :)

    Well I really don't care what you hoped for or your ranting ad homs in this apparent place of importance you put yourself into, the fact is you refuse to address MY ARGUMENTS nor do I demand you agree with me because it's more fun arguing you specious and fallacious claims.

    Of course they will because they are on the right and there was NO racial difference and your only left with throwing that card is quite laughable. And I consider them "mostly peaceful" like Antifa and BLM who the left claimed "were mostly peaceful" do you call them most peaceful or refuse to because the are on the right. How many cars were burned, police and private, how many police headquarters were burned out some with attempts to trap people inside, how many private business looted and then burned, how many blocks are they occupying, how many explosives have they aimed and fireed at the police, how many rocks were thrown at police how many bricks, how much urine and feces, how many restaurants did they go to and harass private citizens taking and destroying the meals they paid for, how many Republicans were yelling at them to go out and get in the faces of WH cabinet officials Republican members of Congress threatening them.

    Kamala Harris supported and encouraged and raised money for those anarchist. Should she be impeached as soon as she is sworn in?

    Listen, you can go on forever defending traitors, murders, and those determined to destroy this country with your flimsy excuse, " Mom, somebody else did something bad first"

    ….but , again, see where it gets ya :)….NO WHERE.

    Meanwhile I'll enjoy watching Trump's personal thugs get fines and jail time...:)

    I'll have more fun than you !

    Oh, please. Don’t give me that crap, “We expect this from the left.” Nobody has been innocent over the last four years. Both sides have engaged in violence. The left-wing politicians who let the riots go on for months should have be ashamed, yes, but that doesn’t excuse this. right-wing rallies have also ended in violence before this but nobody really opposed it, and their rhetoric over the last few months has been disgusting, but nobody really opposed it, y’know, until Graham suddenly had this revelation that the whole stunt to oppose Biden’s election was based on Jim Crow, and Sasse suddenly wants to shovel everyone’s driveways for peace! Where was that talk a week ago? What? Did Graham just open a history book for the first time while the riots raged above him?

    It took an attack on Capitol while one of our most important political ceremonies is playing out inside with every senator and representative present and in danger before the right could find the courage to speak out. Up until then, they all seemed fine with backing up the notion that there are very fine people on both sides, or at least their side.

    The police aren’t supposed to play politics. If violence is a heightened possibility, they ought to be assuming the potential comes from all sides.

    They don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt, especially when some of them seemed to support it. They weren’t caught off guard, they’re flagrantly incompetent, or corrupt.

    They certainly took a casual attitude toward the women occupying the Hart Senate building.

    There will be counter suits and if Dominion is lucky they will be allowed to drop their legal action before discovery starts.

    Everyone knows that the facts will support Powell and Giuliani. If that was not true the DP House would have held full due process public hearings in early November and exposed the Trump legal team was guilty of suborning perjury and most of them would have been indicted and plead out before the GA vote.

    If the DP House really thought the Trump lawyers had stuck their necks out and suborned perjury they would have held due process hearings in early November and exposed them. Many would have already plead out before the GA vote.

    That dog did not bark - for obvious reasons. ;-)

    "Everyone...?" I don't think this word means what you think it means. Powell and Trump will be settling out of court within 2 years. That's Trump's M.O.

    And not one due process public hearing into the integrity of the election.
    How does the killing of the Trump voter advance your position?
