As a non-partisan, I saw the SOTU address as a declaration of war...

    Yes - you already moved the goalpost.

    I reiterate my offer to help you better understand the truth with respect to what is no doubt dozens of misconceptions you have adopted as a result of consuming right wing media.

    Sure.

    That's why there was a 7 year court battle over documents from the Obama administration, and why even Democrats voted to hold Holder in contempt.

    Holder. Appropriate name.

    You must be confused.

    The post you are quoting wasn't a response to you, but to someone else.

    I believe we’re in a re-run of Trump’s history:

    Talk others into investing in a business while investing little (if any) himself. Loot it. Declare bankruptcy. Leave everyone else holding the bag.

    I sincerely hope “we” correct our mistake in November and the Republican Party are the only ones that will suffer.

    I’m not holding my breath it usually takes a disaster before we’ll act.

    Get ready for four more years. Have you seen his rallies? No chance there’s a dem that can defeat him. None. The only question now is how many republican seats will we take from the dems.

    A whole three paragraphs into the article.

    "In the undercover video, the first in the Project Veritas #Expose2020 series, he also expressed support for ideological reeducation Trump voters; compared such Americans to Nazis; praised Soviet-style gulags; and predicted police would be “beaten” in riots at the party convention."

    That does not say anything about “jailing everyone that is a Republican”. Even stretching it to say that “reeducation” is jailing — not all Republicans are trump voters”. It is crazy how he has consumed the entire party in the minds of many.

    The field rep definitely sounds unstable however and Sanders should remove him from the campaign.

    I agree, he should be removed and it would make an old soul feel a bit better if Bernie said these were not his goals, publicly.

    The quotes don't say Republicans, they say "Trump voters". Reeducation camps for Trump voters.

    So... now what?

    Same.

    But, it was obvious to me Trump did it at the SOTU address as an intentional barb to the Democratic controlled house.

    Commit or be accused of? What’s your definition of heinous? Finally you should have more value for your children than to use them like you’re trying to bluff and three bet a pre flop raise.

    What do you think that Pelosi's tearing up of the speech text was?

    Honestly?

    I think it was an act of frustration, a combination of her admonishing her Junior Democratic caucus that insisted upon impeachment and understanding the consequences that as a result Trump will probably get re-elected. Trump's SOTU probably just drove it home for her. When I heard her on interviews today, this was driven home.

    You stated “Nowhere has any Republican said that they support jailing the entire Democrat population if they lost an election. The same cannot be said for Democrats however.” This man, who isn’t even a major Democratic leader but rather a field organizer didn’t even say this. His exact words were not recited but the extremely partisan Project Veritas took it as expressing support for ideological reeducation Trump voters. This is in no way saying that all Republicans should be jailed, or even that trump supporters should be.

    Not nearly as deserving as when Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson. Tom Hanks may have played astronaut Jim Lovell in the movie Apollo 13, but Mrs Johnson actually assisted with the safe return of Apollo 13 along with many other NASA missions during her 35 year career in the space program.

    Again, trump voters do not represent all republicans as per your initial statement and ideological reeducation could be anything from mandatory therapy or retraining (think court mandated sexual harassment training all the way to removing them from the population.

    I have already said I disagree with this nobody’s verbiage but he simply didn’t say what you said he did and he definitely isn’t a promenade democrat.
    A Republican congressman saying that the constitution allows for the murder or jail of socialists in no way compares to this.

    When you have a political party that doesn't have much else but character assassination of the other side to offer people as a reason to vote for themselves then no, that's to be expected.
