It's a stupid comparison.

That's what you say about every single comparison or discussion that makes the left look bad.

Question for you, what do you think of AOC? She criticizes Florida for being too lenient regarding covid, then shes seen drinking there without a mask, then when she's criticized for hypocrisy, she says her critics are deranged with frustration at not being able to be intimate with her.

What's your opinion of that behavior?

The comments by her critic, Owens, got weird about boyfriend's feet and choice of footwear, after having been on point about her actions in Fla. contradicting her stands back home/at work.
As for her reply? It was sophomoric. But it is a stretch to infer she said that he (Owens) or Republicans or you and me want to pound the stuffing out of her in bed.... It is the stretching of the truth, that is the behavior I have a low opinion of...

30 people killed in those summer
riots, two thousand cops injured.

but january 6th was worse than that, probably worse than 9/11 and a million ones worse than Gettysburg.

Democrats know well that americans don’t like
their ideas. so rather than spending any time discussing their policies, they spend 100% of their time telling america why we need to fear republicans ( who have better ideas and run states which people
are moving to).

You just couldn't help yourself, could you? It is comments like what I have put in bold that stop someone like me from taking you seriously. And you were so close....

it's the democrats that have decided three hours of trespassing were some of the darkest in American history...I guess we shouldn't take them seriously....

back to your itchy trigger finger.....when you started blasting away before they reached the top of the stairs.....would you just pick a few off and see if that caused a response and turned the forces away at that point or would you just mow them down and let God sort them out?
just trying to understand the strategy....
