For the first time in our lives, free speech is about to be criminalized

By DANIEL HOROWITZ

Our First Amendment freedoms give us the right to think what we like and say what we please. And if we the people are to govern ourselves, we must have these rights, even if they are misused by a minority.” ~James Madison

We never thought this day would arrive in America. Last year, we learned that they can shout “COVID” as an emergency, and our life, liberty, and property disappear. They can shout “racism,” and our inalienable right to self-defense disappears. The last thing we had was the freedom to criticize what is happening, even if there was nothing we can do about it. Now they can shout “right-wing terrorism” or “right-wing conspiracy” and say that freedom of speech no longer applies.

Leftists in this country claim that their violence is speech and our speech is violence. That is why they glorified riots last year that burned down numerous cities, caused thousands of injuries, cost billions of dollars, and elevated their cause as the most urgent grievance in need of redress. At the same time, they are pushing to criminalize not just the violent acts and actors at the Capitol on January 6, but any view or speech or assembly predicated on views that are held by those people. This is why they seem to be taking direct shots at the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech for Americans, even as they plan to grant amnesty to those whose entire presence in this country is illegal.

As everyone focuses on the corporate world violating the spirit of the First Amendment by excommunicating anyone with conservative views, watch carefully how the governmental actors are coming very close to violating the letter of the First Amendment with the force of the “law” behind it. Big tech might have a monopoly on the internet and communications, but government has a monopoly on violence, law, and the ability to restrain our liberty. If we don’t wake up immediately, our speech and freedom to assemble will be not only censored, but criminalized.



It started on January 6, when Tom Edsall published a column in the New York Times noting, “A debate has broken out over whether the once-sacrosanct constitutional protection of the First Amendment has become a threat to democracy.” This is a tried and tested tactic of the Left – to have their columnists float a radical idea as a “debate,” while their governmental actors begin working on it in earnest.

Just take stock of what we are seeing out in the open. They are now arresting people all over the country for merely being in the Capitol, even if they didn’t engage in violence, vandalism, or theft. Had this standard been applied to Black Lives Matter, there would literally have been millions of arrests. So no, this is not just about punishing those who acted violently. The FBI is placing signs all over the country asking people to report those who were at the Capitol, something that never happened even in the most deadly BLM/Antifa riots last year, or at Trump’s inauguration four years ago in D.C.

They are militarizing D.C. with 20,000 troops, when the threat of violence against Trump’s inaugural guests four years ago was exponentially greater. They are declaring emergencies in states as remote as New Mexico with no evidence of violence present. Garrett Soldano, a leader in the anti-lockdown movement in Michigan, claims the FBI paid him a two-hour visit because a local called the FBI and claimed he is a violent extremist.

If the FBI had done this when hundreds of cities were on fire for days on end with no control among local police departments, I would just feel they are being overly cautious. Given that BLM was promoted as the leader of our civic discourse and we are all being treated like terrorists, however, we should be very scared they are coming for the First Amendment, not for national security. Remember, the Justice Department seems to believe this was a planned attack. So the hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who just came there to express their views had no idea that a few bad actors were planning this. The fact that they are hunting down anyone and everyone should scare us all.

This is a tried and tested tactic of the Left – to have their columnists float a radical idea as a “debate,” while their governmental actors begin working on it in earnest.

One of the first things you do during a war is cut your enemy’s communications. Don’t underestimate what the left is trying to do here. Uncle Pervy is just a means to an end. A useful dupe.

From NBC:

U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, prompting the FBI to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event.

“Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues.

Whoa, wait a minute; now the left is afraid of our own military although there has been “no evidence” to warrant that fear? Can you say “false flag?”

Who are they looking out for? Will any service member who voted Republican now be suspect?

D.C. streets are close. Twelve foot fences with concertina wire are being constructed. Businesses are boarding up. FEAR, FEAR, FEAR is being used to make Americans think that we are all in harm’s way.

The Democrats are the ones attempting to facilitate a coup.

@retire05:

Whoa, wait a minute; now the left is afraid of our own military although there has been “no evidence” to warrant that fear? Can you say “false flag?”

How can that be? They “found” and counted 100 military ballots in Fulton County and everyone of them went for Biden. Why that would be evidence of fraud now, wouldn’t it?

@retire05:

Blaming Dems is a remarkable stretch, even for the likes of you.

My understanding is the D.C. fencing and National Guard deployment is a result of orders from Trump appointed acting Homeland Security Sec Peter Gaynor along with the Secret Service. Democrats don’t have anything to do with it.

Perhaps Trump himself could take a few moments from his auctioning pardons to the highest bidders and come back to do the job we’re paying him for?

By all means, counter with some off topic question of zero relevance.

@Ronald J. Ward:

Blaming Dems is a remarkable stretch, even for the likes of you.

You might be right since Democrats never take responsibility for the harm they do.

My understanding

There’s your first mistake.

@Ronald J. Ward: Like you just did?

We never thought this day would arrive in America. Last year, we learned that they can shout “COVID” as an emergency, and our life, liberty, and property disappear. They can shout “racism,” and our inalienable right to self-defense disappears. The last thing we had was the freedom to criticize what is happening, even if there was nothing we can do about it.

So, Horowitz’s opening paragraph is a complaint that what his political opponents have freely said about COVID has resulted in the disappearance of life, liberty, and property, and that what they have freely said about racism has resulted in the disappearance of the right to defend oneself?

The man is an idiot. But no one is preventing him from freely stating and freely publishing such bullshit. Witness the fact that you’re reading it.

As I’ve stated before, I believe that no right is absolute. There are always reasonable limits. No one has a fundamental right to incite panic in crowds. No one has a right to distribute books for children instructing them to drink poison.

@Greg:

As I’ve stated before, I believe that no right is absolute. There are always reasonable limits.

LIAR! You place zero regulations or limitations on infanticide, as long as it happens in some filthy clinic with no admitting rights and someone at the back door to buy tiny human cadavers or parts.
Now they gang up to make sure DJT doesnt write a book. Hey just dont buy it, deprogram people? They still think Russia stole the 2016 election, hardly a fart to what SM oligarchs pulled this election.
Its always been the Antifa picking fights at these rallies sucker punching someone walking alone or in a tiny group.
Everyone of those that attacked the Whitehouse was set free without charges.

At the same time, they are pushing to criminalize not just the violent acts and actors at the Capitol on January 6, but any view or speech or assembly predicated on views that are held by those people.

They want to suppress the information coming out about more and more leftists being involved in the riot. If this was “incited by Trump”, what were BLM and climate Nazis doing being involved? And why has the BLM violent scumbag, promoting this violence after being released from arrest for OTHER violence, already been released from jail?

“A debate has broken out over whether the once-sacrosanct constitutional protection of the First Amendment has become a threat to democracy.”

What he means, of course, and what the left is fully behind, is the fact that the left’s totalitarian police state cannot be accepted if others are free to openly discuss the facts. The truth about what is happening and exposing the lies about what ISN’T happening can put a real crimp in establishing a dictatorship. Otherwise, they have to be established by force… and THAT looks like what DC looks like today.

The FBI is placing signs all over the country asking people to report those who were at the Capitol, something that never happened even in the most deadly BLM/Antifa riots last year, or at Trump’s inauguration four years ago in D.C.

Recall that Obama did the same thing when he took office. He wasn’t using the FBI… yet. But he asked all citizens to report anyone that were not having happy thoughts about his regime to the White House. Spy your neighbor.

“This idea that saying that Pennsylvania was ‘rigged’ or that we were ‘trying to steal the election’ — that’s a lie. And you do not have the right, that is not protected speech.”

But saying Trump colluded with Russia and was a Russian asset IS protected speech. Apparently there is nothing wrong with putting the entire nation through 2 years of turmoil and bitter dispute due to that lie is OK, too. But demanding answers to why dead and underage people are voting is “forbidden speech” and treason. That’s liberal-think for you.

What the Democrats have been doing for the past 4 years and, especially what they’ve done in the past 3 months would make a bad script for a bad movie about a third world dictatorship. But it is what power-mad Democrats are really doing. They pretend to support free speech but they want to be the arbiters of which speech should be allowed to be free. They, the people of Russian collusion, quid pro quo and “Russian disinformation” on Hunter’s laptop want to tell us what a lie is and isn’t. Doesn’t that sound like a good, liberty-protecting idea?

@retire05:

Who are they looking out for? Will any service member who voted Republican now be suspect?

Yes. Obviously, already is. In hindsight, Trump should have done this throughout his administration and agencies. Once again, Democrats assume those who support Trump are as anti-American as they are and fear it.

D.C. streets are close. Twelve foot fences with concertina wire are being constructed. Businesses are boarding up. FEAR, FEAR, FEAR is being used to make Americans think that we are all in harm’s way.

Keep in mind, those installing all this manpower and hardware are the same people that, with intelligence of impending terrorist attacks against the consulate in Benghazi, refused to seen more assets because of the “optics”. This is a show of force, letting the people know that the government will crush them if they don’t fall in line.

@another vet:

How can that be? They “found” and counted 100 military ballots in Fulton County and everyone of them went for Biden. Why that would be evidence of fraud now, wouldn’t it?

While they expect us to believe that phony shit, they know better.

@Ronald J. Ward:

My understanding is the D.C. fencing and National Guard deployment is a result of orders from Trump appointed acting Homeland Security Sec Peter Gaynor along with the Secret Service. Democrats don’t have anything to do with it.

Well, that sort of proves how little you know. Unless a state of emergency or the Insurgency Act has been declared, it is up to the Governor or Mayor to call for and allow the Guard to be deployed. That was the problem for the 7 months Democrats incited, promoted and allowed left wing violence to continue; they told the police to stand down and refused to deploy the Guard. Now, when they want it to look like a crisis (to not be allowed to go to waste) they call out 25,000 troops.

@Greg:

So, Horowitz’s opening paragraph is a complaint that what his political opponents have freely said about COVID has resulted in the disappearance of life, liberty, and property, and that what they have freely said about racism has resulted in the disappearance of the right to defend oneself?

No, that you Democrats LIE about COVID to exploit the fear and crisis, which you have done, but you want to suppress any speech that opposes your lies.

The man is an idiot. But no one is preventing him from freely stating and freely publishing such bullshit.

Um, you might want to ask Parler, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Trump, Rep. Greene and millions of others who get their speech blocked by left wing censors. ONLY those on the right get blocked and it is almost NEVER about “violence”. It’s about THOUGHT.

Why does the left fear free speech? Why does the left fear personal freedoms? Why does the left feel the need to control people’s thoughts and actions?

As I’ve stated before, I believe that no right is absolute.

You feel the “right” to an abortion is absolute, and that’s not even a right.

@kitt:

They still think Russia stole the 2016 election, hardly a fart to what SM oligarchs pulled this election.

They never thought that. It was never anything more than an excuse to attack Trump and delegitimize his Presidency for fear his tremendous success would assure his reelection. Without massive amounts of fraud, it most certainly would have (did).

They want to suppress the information coming out about more and more leftists being involved in the riot. If this was “incited by Trump”, what were BLM and climate Nazis doing being involved?

It was a Trump-incited riot by Trump-supporting extremists with heads full of crack-brained conspiracy theories, false news, and inflammatory nonsense put there by Donald Trump, his crazy lawyers, and the right-wing media in an effort to keep in power one of the most spectacularly incompetent and corrupt administrations in modern U.S. history.

From The Hill, January 18, 2021 – Conspiracies? Let’s investigate this one

Trump’s big lie that he was cheated in the 2020 national election was investigated, votes were recounted, and judges around the nation — including Trump appointees — rejected the president’s argument. But Trump never accepted the result — and called his supporters to action to block the results of the vote that would oust him from power.

The circumstances surrounding the coup attempt deserve an exhaustive criminal investigation to determine if the attack on American Democracy was much more planned — and whether that planning involved anyone who’s taken an oath of office.

I couldn’t agree more. Let’s find out what actually happened.

@Greg: Aside from never providing a shred of evidence Trump incited anything, you don’t explain what a BLM violent terrorist was doing leading the charge and exhorting others to “burn this f**ker down!” or the horned climate-nut was doing there. Just like you can’t explain the State Farm Arena shut down and secret counting, the 66,700 illegal underage voters, how ballots get mailed without being folded or how dead people get ballots and vote. If anyone wanted this joke of an election to be taken seriously, they would answer, not ignore, those questions and the hundreds of others.

YOU know it’s a fraud. WE know it’s a fraud. Stop pretending you actually think anything the Democrats do is lawful, legal or legitimate.

Election officials and certifying state officials of every disputed state have affirmed Biden’s victory. Sixty judges, both democrat and republican, have determined that Donald Trump’s election fraud claims are supported by no credible evidence whatsoever. Manual recounts have confirmed the accuracy of machine counts. Homeland Security has stated there were no significant irregularities. The Trump-appointed head of the DoJ stated he had seen no evidence of fraud or significant irregularities.

Biden won the popular election by over 7 million votes. He won the electoral college vote 306 to 232. That’s what I know, and one of a number of realities that Trump’s followers refuse to accept and probably never will. It’s unfortunate, but the business of the nation must go on. U.S. COVID-19 deaths are nearing 400,000 with 500,000 projected by mid-February; the vaccine roll-out has been fumbled; millions of American families are in dire straights. There’s no more time to waste arguing about an election that was over more than two months ago.

@Greg:

Election officials and certifying state officials of every disputed state have affirmed Biden’s victory.

So?

Sixty judges, both democrat and republican, have determined that Donald Trump’s election fraud claims are supported by no credible evidence whatsoever.

And you can name those judges that actually looked at any evidence, right? We will be waiting on their names.

Manual recounts have confirmed the accuracy of machine counts.

Which states had actual “manual” recounts of the election?

Biden won the popular election by over 7 million votes. He won the electoral college vote by 306 to 232.

And JFK really won Illinois against Nixon, right?

BTW, Comrade Greggie, how much do you think Brian Kemp made on that Dominion deal?

@Greg: The election was a complete fraud, at least 5 states were turned by fraud. Those who supported the fraud refuse to examine the copious quantities of valid evidence because they fear facing the truth. You know it’s a fraud. I know it’s a fraud. WE ALL know it’s a fraud. It’s simply that those who want power by any means and see the Constitution as an impediment to turning the nation into another socialist wasteland approve of the fraud.

@retire05:

So?

So that’s the end of the contest, so far as our lawful constitutional process of choosing a President is concerned. What remains after that is formality and ceremony.

And you can name those judges that actually looked at any evidence, right? We will be waiting on their names.

I’m guessing you can’t name them either. If you’re curious you can looked them all up. I won’t be waiting, because I realize that any legitimate case where credible evidence was actually ignored would have been elevated to the center of national attention by way of an appeal.

Manual recounts have confirmed the accuracy of machine counts.

Once again, look it up if you’re curious. It was all in the news at the time.

And JFK really won Illinois against Nixon, right?

That’s what the history books say. They also mention the controversy. I remember that Kennedy actually was the president.

BTW, Comrade Greggie, how much do you think Brian Kemp made on that Dominion deal?

I’m guessing not a nickel. Isn’t he a republican? Lin Wood, one of Trump’s attorneys in Georgia, has suggested that Kemp is a foreign agent working on behalf of China. Kemp had actually endorsed Donald Trump. He has recently expressed his remorse over having done so.

@Deplorable Me, #14:

You know it’s a fraud.

You really should stop trying to tell people what they know. I’m as close as anyone could get to being 100 percent certain that it wasn’t. I always leave a certain degree of uncertainty in place with any outcome to allow for the remote possibility that mysterious supernatural forces were at work.

@Greg:

You really should stop trying to tell people what they know. I’m as close as anyone could get to being 100 percent certain that it wasn’t. I always leave a certain degree of uncertainty in place with any outcome to allow for the remote possibility that mysterious supernatural forces were at work.

What the hell are you blathering about!?

Thanks for the non-denial.

F*cking idiot.

@Greg:

So that’s the end of the contest, so far as our lawful constitutional process of choosing a President is concerned.

So says every usurper and dictator.

Our Lawful, Constitutional process did not chose Biden, and he can’t be the President.

Sorry, junior.

Maybe you should send him a postcard and let him know.

@retire05:

And you can name those judges

Well, I guess you told him, you witty guy.

Next up: Can you give their birthdays? And did you see their birth certificates?

@Greg:

I’m guessing you can’t name them either.

Sheesh… NO ONE CAN because no judge has examined the evidence. They reject the cases because it’s a time bomb and they don’t want to be anywhere near it when it goes off. That’s cowardice, allowing the nation to be destroyed instead. It only adds to the valid suspicion that Biden is a fraud.

I’m as close as anyone could get to being 100 percent certain that it wasn’t.

Because you love the fraud. You love corruption. You love lies. You’ve supported nothing but lying, fraudulent, corrupt criminals. What do you know? Apparently only what the left tells you to know, which is nothing but lies.

Oh, and one of your scumbag Democrats accused the National Guard of disloyalty. Nice. No one but Democrats believe such lies. Always Democrats lying about the military. ALWAYS. Scum.

@Greg:

I’m guessing you can’t name them either.

You can’t name someone who doesn’t exist.

If you’re curious you can looked them all up.

In other words, you know the answer and it doesn’t fit your agenda so you will instruct me to answer the question myself. Cute.

I won’t be waiting, because I realize that any legitimate case where credible evidence was actually ignored would have been elevated to the center of national attention by way of an appeal.

And none of those cases are on appeal? You know that how?

When I asked you how many of those “recounts” were manual recounts, you responded:

Once again, look it up if you’re curious. It was all in the news at the time.

Again, you have run your mouth about issues that you are clueless about so you punt trying to cover up your ignorance.

And guessing about Brian Kemp is your typical M.O. You only know what your handlers allow you to know and that is the lies you come on this board and pimp. You continue to prove that you are nothing more than a useful idiot for the Communist left wing, i.e. the Democrat Party.

But things are looking up for you, and your kind. 1984 is here. Those who disagree with you will be cancelled, harassed, threatened, their jobs lost, their families threatened. It’s what Communists do. And you are all for that.

But eventually, unless you subscribe to the changing norms of required group think, you also will be a victim of your own agenda. Free speech is being criminalized. You are all for that. But there will come a day where you step off the path, if even with only one foot, and you will be criminalized.

@retire05: Make no mistake, Greg and everyone else KNOWS the fraud happened and it was widespread. They simply embrace it because fraud, theft and corruption is the only way to achieve their goals. That’s why Greg and others are so vague and evasive when confronted with the evidence… so we won’t notice and “figure it out”.

@Deplorable Me:

All through our modern history, it has been Democrats, not Republicans, who have won office via fraud. No matter how Comrade Greggie and the angry person of color, Ward/AJ, want to deny that proven fact.

Now we are hearing big names on the left demand that 75 million Americans be “deprogrammed.” Because free speech must be eliminated so that the only speech that is allowable is their speech. They even go so far as to discredit our National Guard members because they are “mostly white.”

For now, you and I reside in a relatively free state. But make no mistake, the left is coming from you. Want to buy a home? Did you vote for Trump? If so, no home for you. Want to book a hotel room? Did you vote for Trump? You will not be allowed to stay at that hotel. Own a company, no matter how small, and you displayed a Trump sign in your window? You will be a victim of the cancel culture and put out of business even if your family suffers. The left doesn’t care.

This is the fascism the left is pushing although they demand we believe they are anti-fascist. Don’t believe your lying eyes. Our overlords are only doing what is best for us because, you see, you are too damn stupid to know what is good for you.

The United States of America had a good run. We won two world wars, gave more freedom to more people than any nation in the history of the world; created more ideas for advancement than any nation in the world; liberated the oppressed, put a man on the moon, cured diseases that were thought to be incurable, the list goes on. But it died on January 6, 2021.

All through our modern history, it has been Democrats, not Republicans, who have won office via fraud. No matter how Comrade Greggie and the angry person of color, Ward/AJ, want to deny that proven fact.

In the real world, verdicts rendered deep down the rabbit hole from hallucinating mushroom consumers hardly qualifies as proven facts.

Trump’s leaving office a lame duck with a 34% approval rating, COVID raging in record numbers, and the economy again (as seems to be a pattern after GOP rule), in ashes on the ground. Worse for him, he leaves in serious financial and legal trouble. Worse yet, he leaves naked from his immunity of crime and a compliant DOJ and R senate to protect him and obstruct congressional investigations and charges. His tax returns will be fair game and it’s yet to be seen what business shenanigan’s, money laundering, and illegal use of campaign funds will surface, both foreign and abroad.

The fear of Dems silencing you is no more than you obeying the latest demands from the propaganda playbook.

I made predictions which panned out correctly (albeit I really didn’t think you and the basket would go quite the full blown Alice in Wonderland batshit crazy, to reject reality to this level). I predict that before long the right rill return to their usual invented scandal practice while distancing themselves from the horrors of Trump, similar as they did with GWB, Nixon, and Hoover (LOL, obviously Republican presidents just suck in general). I suspect there will be no need for Dems to silence any Trump promoting as his very name will evolve into another Benedict Arnold or such, making Nixon look like an Eagle Scout choir boy. You’re simply helping the propaganda machine play the hand they are dealt.

@Ronald J. Ward:

Trump’s leaving office a lame duck with a 34% approval rating,

49%.

COVID is all over the world and Trump did far better than most in combatting it, even with the left spreading it wildly with their riots and violence.

Economy is tanked because Democrats keep it closed. Just open the economy.

He never obstructed anything. Mueller explicitly said so.

His taxes have already been hacked and leaked (yeah, sometimes hacked material actually gets released by the lying media). Nothing. More liberal lies.

The fear of Dems silencing you is no more than you obeying the latest demands from the propaganda playbook.

It’s already been done and Democrats are encouraging more. You know, in your case, I have reversed myself. You SHOULD be banned from here, and just for what you believe. How does that sound to you? Have at it, Curt.

I, too, made completely accurate predictions. I predicted the Democrat’s expanding voting by mail and cutting away all verifications and oversight would result in massive election fraud. I also predicted the Democrats would employ fraud far and wide. I was far more accurate than you.

@Deplorable Me, #23:

January 6, 2021 – A day late and a dollar short: Mitch McConnell tells Trump cultists from the floor of Congress that they’re full of it; that there is no evidence of significant election irregularities.

What he added to that just few minutes ago placed the blame for the siege of the Capitol squarely on Donald Trump:

January 19, 2021 – McConnell blames Trump for having ‘provoked’ mob; Senate holding five confirmation hearings

@Greg:

Well, congratulations, Comrade Greggie; you finally found a RINO you could agree with.

@Deplorable Me:

49%

Gallup says 34%. 535 says 38% with contingencies.

Regardless, he’s gone tomorrow and in deep doo-doo. From all appearances from outside of the rabbit hole of basket dwellers, his lie about rigging an election has lost steam. Sure, we’ll have those confederated flag clingers and heil Hitler saluting believers forever but a large part of the arsonist’s intentional inferno has been put out.

I’m just concerned with how much more damage he can do to the country in the next 24 hours. He’s been slapped down pretty hard so hopefully understands his legal liabilities and maybe he’ll just sell a few pardons and go and await his oncoming lawsuits arrest. But that might be naïve wishful thinking.

@retire05: Of course he loves the guy with both financial and family ties with the CCP.
Elaine Lan Chao, Mitch’s Chinese-born wife and current US Transportation Secretary, is currently being investigated for her ties to Xi Jinping. Chao and McConnell have both been implicated in a campaign finance scandal in which millions of dollars flowed directly from the CCP.

@Greg: No matter who says it, there still needs to be PROOF. Where’s the PROOF? Where is the statement that incited on act of violence? I know you don’t understand what proof is, because your corrupt party has declared it is no longer needed, but actual Americans still believe it is required.

When you ask me for proof, I provide it. Where’s the PROOF?

@Ronald J. Ward: 49%

@retire05, #28:

I’d say the Baby Trump Balloon has come loose from its tether and vanished into the sky—realizing, of course, that his followers will likely view the same event as an Ascension, to be followed at some point in the near future by a Second Coming.

I’ll just watch the speck until it vanishes from sight, and then breathe a sigh of relief. It has been a long four years.

@Greg: How many troops were required to secure Trump’s inauguration? Why does Biden fear The People so much? Why do Democrats HATE the very military they depend upon to protect them from their boogie men? Why did you vote for such a shivering, sniveling, hiding coward?

It’s been 4 years of success and progress. Now we enter the dark ages. Biden has promised this on DAY ONE:

Illegal immigrant pathway to citizenship. Kill Keystone XL. Open restrooms and locker rooms to transgenders. National mask mandate. Rejoin Paris Climate Accord. Repeal liability protection for gun manufacturers. Repeal travel ban. Repeal roll backs of environmental rules. Rejoin WHO. Put COVID plan in action. Change corporate taxes.

Let’s see how big a f**king liar he is.

@Greg: Pelosi said they chose their whiteness over democracy would be hilarious if it weren’t so tragically convincing to so many on the Left.
This guy with a metal bat needs to be put to trial for his whiteness.

@Greg:

I get McConnell’s objective and the need to distance his party from the reality the cultists will see as the scales fall from their eyes.

I’m wondering how this is going to play out with Cruz and lot of GOP who abetted Trump.

For the record, They ALL knew…

Look… more opportunities for two people to provide that proof that Trump incited violence and nothing. Why, it’s almost as if they KNOW there was no incitement but feel the need to parrot the lies they are instructed to keep puking out.

My low opinion of Donald Trump has never been entirely partisan. From start to finish, the problem I’ve had with Donald Trump has been the man himself.

From page 650 of “Bush”, Jean Edward Smith’s biography of George W. Bush:

“As part of the presidential transition, Barack Obama asked Bush if it would be possible for him to meet all the ex-presidents. Bush was happy to oblige, and organized a White House luncheon in the Oval Office on January 7. Bush and Obama were joined by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George H. W. Bush. The luncheon lasted over two hours, each former president ordered his lunch à la carte from the White House mess, and the tone was convivial and friendly. “All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities of this office,” said Obama before the meeting. “For me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary, and I just want to thank the President for hosting us.”
Bush was equally effusive. “We want you to succeed,” he replied. “Whether we’re Democrat or Republican we care deeply about this country. And to the extent we can we look forward to sharing out experiences with you. All of us who have served in this office understand that the office transcends the individual.”

Obama set his personal feelings aside and welcomed Donald Trump to the White House on the occasion of his own departure. All of the traditional decorum and ceremony that maintains our sense and expectation of an orderly transition of power was honored. With Donald Trump, we’re not even getting that.

It’s as if he wants the divisions he has created or widened and the animosities he has inflamed to be set in cement. He’s making that his legacy to the nation.

@Greg: He spied on his campaign, he set the entire Russian bullshit up to distract from Hillary deleting over 30 K emails that were under subpoena. He willfully financed terrorists. Destabilized the ME and created open slave markets in Libya. His cow husband couldnt graciously accept a gift from Melania. The new Obiden regime being installed as DC looks more like a prison camp with 25 thousand troops armed with 50 cals for a virtual event.
Poland that has experienced both Nazi and communist occupation has it right, a 2 million dollar fine for blocking free speech on SM.
You remain an idiot.

@Greg:

My low opinion of Donald Trump has never been entirely partisan.

Your low opinion, like all your opinions, were based on your failed ideology and opposing anything that threatens to expose the failure. Everything you continually accused Trump of was always based on lies. From day one. Nothing but lies because you had no facts to support your hatred. If that’s not partisanship, then it is madness.

Obama set his personal feelings aside and welcomed Donald Trump to the White House on the occasion of his own departure.

Obama is a two-faced, lying, piece of shit snake that smiled at Trump while he stabbed him in the back with illegal surveillance and false accusations to damage his Presidency. Obama’s fear was that Trump would show how easy it was to succeed while he was an abject failure at everything. And Trump did exactly that, even with all the sedition. All he had to do to grow the economy was just not be Obama.

ALL the divisiveness was provided by the left. The left is hate.

ALL the divisiveness was provided by the left. The left is hate.

Trump has always encouraged and exploited that sort of projection. Consider how hateful your own words in that post are, and how you’re generalizing about all those who disagree with you as a group. That’s the essence of divisiveness.

@Greg: Nope. All Democrats had to do was join the government and work on legislation that helped the American people. Instead the ran coup after coup after coup against Trump and, with their liberal media partners, spread lies about him being a traitor and Putin’s tool. I suppose you did that for the goal of unity?

You are simply full of total bullshit. ALL the divisiveness, hate, racism and violence has been a product of Democrats.

As you gleefully report. But……………………………

when Obama and his wingman, Eric Holder, ran guns into Mexico costing the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens and the Border Patrol Officer Brian Terry, you said nothing

when Obama was running arms into Syria, you said nothing

when four Americans, Christopher Stevens, Glenn Doherty, Sean Smith and Tyrone Wood were murdered in Benghazi, and Susan Rice went on FIVE Sunday TV shows and lied about the cause, you said nothing

when American Congress members were spied on, you said nothing

when American journalists were spied on, even having their parent’s phones tapped, you said nothing.

So spare us your platitudes on the goodness of the piece of crap we had to endure for 8 long years.

I suppose then you’ve had practice that will serve you well during the next four. Will republicans once again publicly announce that Job #1 is to insure the new president’s failure?

You’ve probably forgotten all about that. That was another time when the GOP resisted every effort a new president made to reassure the nation and steer it out of an epic disaster. On that occasion we were trying to overcome consequences of the worst and most prolonged economic downturn since the Great Depression; on this, we’ll be trying to overcome a global pandemic that as of today has taken the lives of over 400,000 U.S. residents and left millions in economic jeopardy. It won’t be easy. 100,000 additional American lives are expected to be lost over the next few weeks. Hopefully this time there will be more cooperation.

That was never the objective, but it certainly how it turned out, wasn’t it? But in the case of Asterisk Quid Pro Quo Grampa Grope Illegitimate Genius Joe Beijing Obiden*, one hardly has to help Biden fail. After all, that’s been his primary characteristic his entire career. Plagiarism, corruption, racism and sexual abuse has been his trademark. With his reboot of the administration that failed at everything but failure, his failures will hardly come as a surprise.

Oh, and we’ll be point this out to you, from time to time. Like, every day.

Biden better hit the ground running and solve problems (primarily created by Democrats to dog Trump, such as the economic pain and left wing political terror) on his first day. NOTHING less is acceptable.

Oh, and it looks like you are getting your wish.

@Greg:

I don’t have to hope Beijing Biden fails. He will fail. He has never been a success at anything he has ever done except to get quite rich by selling our nation out to foreign interests. If Beijing Biden has one talent, it’s lining his own pockets and the pockets of his family members.

Take a look at just one of his appointments: Richard (Rachel) Levin. Beijing Biden wants him to be the Assistant Secretary of Health.

Never mind this wackadoodle, father to two children, went through surgical mutilation to become a woman (ignoring DNA that can’t be surgically removed). When the Chi-Com flu hit Pennsylvania, (s)he ordered seniors returned to nursing homes to infect other seniors, ala Cuomo style. And when it came to his/her own senior mother? (S)he moved his/her own senior mother into a hotel to avoid contracting the Chi-Com flu in the very nursing homes having to take those seniors he issued death sentences for.

And this nut is a professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at Penn State Medical School. (S)he should never be allowed to be around students EVER.

Will Beijing Biden fail? He already is failing. But never fear, you’re here to defend his dementia and radicalism while the rest of us have to pay for your idiocy.

@retire05:

Nothing says “follow the science” like having a failed scientific experiment as assistant Secretary of Health. How does that make decisions of health for citizens when it doesn’t even know what the hell it is?

That’s just Grampa Grope pandering to a whiny interest group. No consideration is given to people’s lives.

@retire05:

After seeing photos of Rudy Giuliani in drag a few times, I’m surprised this would bother you.

@Greg: Rudy without shaving pulls it off better than Levine without his original equipment.
