If one never takes a political side, one doesn't risk being associated with idiots. I see the appeal.
If one always supports the decisions made by one political party over another, then one doesn't risk having to actually think for oneself. I see the appeal.
You're always free to accuse anybody of not thinking about any particular opinion they post. It's not fair and not very nice to make these sorts of blanket accusations, out of any specific context. Please try to be nicer, this place can get ugly at times.

In case you missed it, here's one of the guys arrested at the Capitol - presumably some kind of weird cosplay thang going on.
I'm guessing he reacted to being hated by growing that moustache.
Or maybe he's an undercover FBI guy.
I know, it's easy to laugh. What a fucking nutbag.
Ok, ya got one.
Out of 120,000 people.
Good for you!
Here, I'll give you a freebie:

Are those the selfies he took of himself while in the Capitol?

Here, I'll give you a freebie:There's plenty of unpleasant characters on both sides. I'm happy to admit the left are toxic. There's no shortage of toxicity on the other side, even if it's not always as obvious. There's a guy cycles by where I work with a big sign saying 'FUCK JOE BIDEN, AND FUCK YOU IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM'. Another nutter, obviously. People who think that 'Let's go Brandon' is hilariously funny are kind of missing the point, too. Well, to clarify, they're missing a point other than that repeating any joke 25 times is more of a mental condition than actual humour.

I would suggest that Trump’s trouble finding lawyers is 1) he has a reputation for not following their advice then blaming them when things go south and; 2) he is notorious for refusing to pay his bills.
That's precisely as I've heard it described. You never know when he's going to undermine your entire legal strategy with a
tweetTruth Social thingy.A funny exchange between Josh Barro and Ken White on Trump's Hannity interview:
Josh Barro:
So, does that statement on television? Does that undermine a potential criminal defense in which he would claim that he did not personally intend to take certain government documents with him certain places, if he's on television claiming I declassified everything in my own mind?Ken White:
Okay. Yes. If you want to be hypercritical here, Josh, that was confessing to elements of several crimes on national television. But we're grading on a curve here in terms of the wisdom of moves, in terms of how well they work in your federal criminal defense we have to compare it to what Trump is normally like. And you're getting perilously close to criticizing the font on a two year old's I love you mommy and daddy card so... -
What percentage are worried about Biden's Gazpacho police?

More than that and growing everyday...

One of the serious attorneys on his team demanded and received a $3MM retainer.
….and he’s already sidelined.

SCOTUS: Nope, Mr. President.
The Supreme Court handed former President Donald Trump a loss Thursday in his dispute with the Justice Department over documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence, rejecting his request that a special master be allowed to review classified papers.
The justices denied Trump’s relatively narrow emergency request in a brief unsigned order. There were no noted dissents.
The decision does not affect the Justice Department’s access to the same documents as part of a criminal investigation. The more than 100 documents marked as classified are just a small portion of the 11,000 records seized by federal agents in August amid concerns that Trump had unlawfully retained official White House records after leaving office.
The high court left in place part of a Sept. 21 decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that barred the special master, federal Judge Raymond Dearie, from reviewing the documents. Trump had not contested the separate part of that ruling allowing the Justice Department to use the documents.
The appeals court said certain documents are deemed classified because they contain information that could harm the national security, and for that reason people may have access to them only if they need to know that information.

Trump's new court filing claims that Trump has designated all the documents Trump took to Mar-A-Lago are Trump's "personal documents."
