    You're right. It is different.

    It is different. When the members of the left were engaging in insurrection, Senator Cotton just wrote that the National Guard should be deployed to quell the rioting and there was an immediate backlash from the left, whereas you guys did not discuss deploying the National Guard; you just did it.

    It is different. When members of the left rioted for months on end, you all described it as a "mostly peaceful protest." When members of the right rioted for one day, it becomes a weekslong discussion, solely focusing on the rioting, and calling it a riot / insurrection without any qualification, unless to add negative emphasis, and the National Guard was immediately deployed.

    It is different. When members of the left rioted, it was essentially done with impunity. And when federal law enforcement went to Portland, they were likened to Nazi secret police; when the right rioted for one day, there was a nationwide manhunt underway.

    Wow, did I read this? I think you are, in effect, telling us that Biden's election represents an ideological victory and mandate for the Democratic party platform that Biden championed. It was not a 'competence' election like firing a crappy CEO, because people like yardmeat could not vote for Biden unless they were ideologically allied with the Democratic party ideals values and policies. No. This was a battles of ideas and vision, and Republican party ideas and their vision just plain lost!.

    Nobody who voted for Biden did so unless they were a devoted true blue liberal progressive Democrat! I rather like your logic! I say Dems should run with it!

    There is an Australian saying that sums up the fact that you have been somehow convinced to spread false flag rumours

    it goes

    SUCKED IN!!!!!!!! But that describes no one here

    Perhaps it is simply the psychology of victim hood ?

    Now that the guard has done their duty, they have been shoved out of the Capitol area and are required to sleep in parking garages. No heat, oily floors and inadequate bathrooms. Regardless of whether they turned their backs on Biden, they should turn their backs on the whole democrat party.

    BIDEN’S FIRST DAYS IN OFFICE GOING SWIMMINGLY: National Guard Kicked Out Of The Capitol, Forced To Sleep In A Parking Garage.

    New York Post: Biden’s militarized inauguration showcased Democrats’ insecurity.

    Trump Offers to Let National Guard Stay at the Trump Hotel D.C. After Parking Garage Outrage.


    Leave it Joe to kick off his administration with a super-spreader event.

    MSNBC Host Admits: Trump Would’ve Been ‘Crushed’ for Holding ‘Super-Spreader’ Inaugural:

    [Stephanie] Ruhle told never-Trumper Steve Schmidt, “It will be a smaller inauguration ceremony, but they’re still having one in person and, let’s be honest, you know if President Trump did this, he would be getting crushed for holding a super-spreader event. We’d all be saying it.”

    But they won’t complain about Biden and the National Guard. Evergreen:

    So you believe Biden could function on the Football field, Basketball court and as a lifeguard (strenuous training), but basic training in the military would kill him?

    Rather than blame Biden for everything bad that happens, why don't we instead figure out who was responsible for this decision? Both parties were angry about this when they learned what happened.

    Doesn't have to kill him just make him ineffective, and combat is very different from sports.

    So, what would happen if he was ineffective as a lifeguard? Sounds like folks would drown.

    Interesting to note that First Lady Jill Biden was not the only one who was looking out for the WELFARE of our troops.

    https://twitter.com/SenDuckworth/st...guard-cookie-visit_n_600bca32c5b6fe97669c9da7

    That is the STARK difference between WORDS and ACTIONS.

    The troops KNOW who actually cares about their WELLBEING and who just USES them as props for photo ops.
