It seems to be more important to you to be “right” than to engage in real discussion. You talk about conspiracy theories, but your flags on buildings, silencing the opposition and establishing a dictatorship is a conspiracy theory to match the craziest of them. If President Trump was so powerful, how, when he WAS president was he constantly under attack by flagrant liars and constantly badgered by the very liberal press he’s supposed to be able to suppress, lying about him, and imputing ludicrous meanings to honest, reasonable statements he made?

I’ve read pretty much all of your posts and while I agree with some of your conclusions/opinions, your citing of, for the most part, heavily biased to flagrantly dishonest “news” sources and then drawing wildly extreme conclusions (opinions) has diminished your credibility to near zero.

You are very confident in your opinions, but much less competent in forming them. I had hoped to generate some thoughtful, respectful discussion but that doesn’t seem possible when the least disagreement with you generates snarky, off subject, unresponsive, disrespectful responses.

Difference between you and me here is I dont monitor what topics you write about .

If you had asked me - what I think of the escalation in urban violent and destructive demonstrations - my answer is its very wrong and the extreme left is partly responsible for not speaking up.

I do NOT however excuse those involved in the Capitol Insurrection attack based on any other events. It stands for what it was .

For all those who pretend not to understand Ill simplify further :
1. I write on topics of my choice
2. You do likewise
3. If I dont write on a subject of your preference, oh well thats fine too and try not to be a control freak .

This threads not about other topics some wish I’d write about - it’s about the historic and violent insurrection attempt at our Capitol - headed up by violent trump supporters .

Approx 140 police injured - some seriously .
Threats to hang our Vice President, while the Presidents own son pleaded with White House staff to get his father to speak up against the attack .

This was and shall remain a major assault on our democracy - one that’s not over.
Our Justice Dept has launched the largest criminal investigation in the history of our country as they collect the facts and criminals of this event
