i don’t think republicans have any right to complain about a massive show of
force, we forfeited that right when a small number of jerks stormed the capital. you reap what you sow.

Complain about the hypocrisy shown every minute, not about safety precautions, because if the situation had been reversed, a republican president elect would be doing the same thing, and he’d be right to do it.

I don't think you wrote that last line well bc it is not Biden who is ordering the massive show of force. It is prob. the FBI, SS, DC police, etc.

If it was any other Pres - Dem or Rep. they would have come out on 1/6 with a strong statement condemning the mob. They would not have caused this problem after the election and claimed w/o evidence they lost the election bc of fraud.

so Hilary and Pelosi didn’t make unsupported claims that the 2016 election was stolen by Russia? they didn’t kill people in the capital obviously, but they spent years, years, saying Trump was illegitimate. So i don’t know what you’re referring to, but your recollection is wrong.

I think it was stolen by the Russians. Look at how our law enforcement said they tried to influence our election and look at how gullible the Trump supporters are.

How many Dems. voted not to certify the Trump election?

And you only copied some of my statement to not show the context. I said every other Pres. (R or D) would not have acted as sleazy as Trump. Did you do that on purpose?

What has everyone been mocking you for here quite a bit: your whataboutism

"I think it was stolen by the Russians."

Which puts you in the same "I believe it even though there's no evidence" camp as Trump. Of course Russia meddled, there's zero evidence it changed the outcome.

"What has everyone been mocking you for here quite a bit: your whataboutism"

The people mocking me for that, are the ones who don't like seeing their hypocrisy exposed.

I can immediately admit my side's hypocrisy, say, on criticizing Obama for adding to the debt, but looking the other way when Trump did it. It's obvious hypocrisy. I would never offer the pathetic, moronic excuse that pointing that out, is "whataboutism". Because it's valid to point thatout. None of you can concede it exists on your side, for example when the left ignored (or encouraged) the riots this summer which killed 19 and did over $1 billion in damage. That was not worth noting. But when republicans do it once, it's the end of the world.

You're an angry liar. The left frequently called out the people who caused damaged. And people did not encourage riotsm

Perhaps you missed my post earlier where I mentioned that in one of those unsolicited emails about what a scummy person you are someone made a comment that your wife had cancer in the past. Is that true?

It also wasn’t a new strategy for them either as they did it in The 2000 election as well

And 2004 election as well....

‘It Is Over’: Democrats’ Efforts to Deny Trump Presidency Fail

By Matt Flegenheimer
Jan. 6, 2017


WASHINGTON — One by one, the Democratic lawmakers stepped to the microphone on Friday, holding on to their letters and an impossible dream: denying the presidency to Donald J. Trump, two weeks before his inauguration.

CNN

Police injured, more than 200 arrested at Trump inauguration protests in DC

By Gregory Krieg, CNN
Updated 4:06 AM EST, Sat January 21, 2017

At least two DC police officers and one other person were taken to the hospital after run-ins with protesters, DC Fire Spokesman Vito Maggiolo told CNN. Acting DC Police Chief Peter Newsham said the officers’ injuries were considered minor and not life threatening.

Bursts of chaos erupted on 12th and K streets as black-clad “antifascist” protesters smashed storefronts and bus stops, hammered out the windows of a limousine and eventually launched rocks at a phalanx of police lined up in an eastbound crosswalk.

Anti-Trump protests also broke out Friday in US cities, including New York, Seattle, Dallas, Chicago and Portland, Oregon. Authorities in Seattle say one person was in critical condition at a hospital with a gunshot wound.

Liberal groups praised the work of protesters, many of whom traveled from around the country to rail against a president they called “illegitimate” in thousands of signs and songs.

In Portland, Oregon, protesters were armed with clubs, sticks and throwing unknown liquid at officers, according to the Portland Police Department. Six people were arrested in Portland Friday, Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson tells CNN.

In Seattle, people threw bricks and other items at officers during a demonstration on the the University of Washington campus, city police said. Harborview Medical Center in Seattle confirmed it was treating a man who was shot at the protest and is in critical condition. Seattle police said a man turned himself in to campus police and was being questioned.

“We’re really trying to set a tone of resistance for the coming years,” Lacy MacAuley, a DisruptJ20 organizer, told CNN.
