Trump wants to keep armed the
.00001% of nutjobs who own firearms and who are willing to be violent and use them to attempt to overthrow the government to keep Trump in power (You DID see the Capital riots, I assume? It was kinda covered in the news).
Yep, I saw them.
I saw a protest that got out of hand with a some of the people being violent.
That that were violent, should be charged, but I do have a problem with those that merely went inside (especially those that video shows the cops LET in and welcomed in)...at worst they should have only gotten misdemeanor trespassing.
But back to your quote...are you seriously calling the riot an "armed insurrection"? If so, that was the WORST armed insurrection I have ever seen...especially given the number of guns we have in the hands of the people in this country.
And as for Trump...did you miss the parts of his speech telling folks to to peacefully protest?
No, maybe not...the mainstream news seems to conveniently leave that part out.
The only person shot there that day was a protesting lady by a Capitol guard....
I don't hold any delusions that Trump is much more than a narcissist....but, even so, I remember my life while he was president just before covid happened. Inflation was down, prices were reasonable, unemployment was down, and we weren't embroiled with wars all over the f'ing world.
He might not be the best person in the world, but things were running pretty well in spite of him you might say.
And given what we've seen with Biden...well, I'd vote for a small soap dish over that shell of a man....and even more scary for me, a vote for Biden is more than likely a vote for President Kamala, and that cackling bitch scares the fuck out of my more than any of them running.
Her in charge? Kiss the world goodbye....although the state of the union word salads would be amusing.
