I don’t really have an issue with her statement. I mean, I disagree with her, but she’s not coming through as celebrating.

It’s the collective demonization. I know everyone does it but it seems like it isn’t the time. Because you’re literally engaging in what you’re accusing the other side of having done. Hence the irony point.

I get that, but in this case, it does need to be addressed that as a whole, the Democrat party has been very permissive of the escalating violence from their fringes. The lack of any sort of repercussions for Antifa, BLM, the countless riots, etc over the last 15 years opens the door to this kind of shit. These kids have been taught that there are no repercussions for their behavior in the political realm, and in some cases they will even be celebrated. And this is creeping up into more of the party mainstream.
“Mostly peaceful”, no convictions or jail time for dudes that literally took over a major part of an American city, this whole thing of turning fuckheads life George Ferguson and that Mangione kid into pop culture heroes… This is what you get.
Yeah, the other side has their own problems, but on balance…

I was about to say the same thing. She’s criticizing selective outrage.
Still in poor taste but grave dancing it isn’t.
And not worth trying to get her fired over.

That’s something that I’ve not been pleased with the last few days. All of these accounts that make their money by stoking outrage going after each and every person that’s made a dumbass post. There’s a fine line between reasonable consequences and a whole new era of cancel culture.

Perhaps your President will intervene in some way for the guilty man, the way he did for his supporters who caused five deaths while rioting and looting your Capitol Building?
Seriously, your country which I admire in so very many ways, needs to get its act together, big time, and soon.

You can keep repeating it as much as you want, it makes it no more true.

A pretty big drop to the ground. "Lucky" for him he did not break anything. Thought of the JW Booth after he shot President Lincoln.

Ha! I had the same thought, kudos for knowing about the Booth injury after he shot Lincoln!

I am hopeful even in 2028 (Vance vs Newsom?) that we will at least be on a path towards a semblance of truth, integrity, and respect. Perhaps calmer politics, too. Either way the topic soon will be the looming national debt topic that will require very hard and difficult decisions that'll impact all Americans.
