Sort of like a typical week-end in Chicago.

If Leftists were serious about stopping gun violence, they’d institute stop and frisk without restrictions in every crime-ridden city in the country.

They won’t, so their problem, isn’t gun violence, it’s fear of legally-armed, law-abiding citizens.

Why are the attacks focused on Justice Thomas? Noticed that over the last week or so

These people live in an alternate universe.

Sitting somewhere, fueling each other’s weird fantasies and conspiracies.

Patting each other on the back for how kind, caring and compassionate they are while not lifting a finger to help anyone nor allow any of those they “care” about, are allowed to live near them.

Truly insane people.

There was another lady if I’m not mistaken, outside. Roughed up by the Capitol Police.

Actually, as many as 4 people were killed that day. Ashley Babbitt was shot, Rosanne Boyland who is seen on the ground and being struck repeatedly on the head and body with a metal baton by a Capitol Cop, Kevin Greeson, and Benjamin Phillips who the government says died of heart attacks, but this is disputed with some saying that both were hit in the chest by flashbangs or teargas canisters. We’ll probably never know for sure.

If Jan 6 had been a real insurrection, we wouldn’t have the problems we do now.

I am trying to figure out how a person of even the most simple intelligence could come up with something this absurd. It makes my head hurt.

How would a violent insurrectionist would be deterred by a law saying you can’t take a gun outside of your home? How does someone come up with an argument this totally nonsensical?

There are no longer any cultural or societal penalties for lying, unless you happen to be on the wrong side of some thing or another, and even then.

I have long (perhaps dinosaur-long) been and am an advocate of a handshake and a man’s word. If I give my word that I will do something, I will either do it, or fail after a fully engaged attempt. It is much the same with the spoken word. If I tell someone something, I try with all my might to be straightforward and honest, even it it might offend the person or weaken their view of me.

I have history with this concept of truth, and it was late in my life.

I did something about ten years ago (so, late in life, not a young person) so foolhardy, stupid, and embarrassing that I lied to everyone about it. Everyone. Even my wife. The only one who knew the truth about it was my best friend because he was there when I did it, and I asked him-ASKED HIM-to lie about it. Which he did, because I asked him. He would do anything for me, and I for him. He is that kind of guy.

However, as time went on, this ate at my insides. It began to eat me from the inside out, and I realized that there was nothing so embarrassing and stupid that could cause anywhere near the psychological damage to me that asking my best friend to lie for me was causing.

I ended up having to come clean with everyone, the equivalent of wearing it around my neck. Anyone who I have ever spoken to about the incident, I had to force myself to tell them the truth, un-prompted. And it wasn’t because I was worried they might find out I lied about this thing from another person. It was because that angst that forcing my best friend to lie on my behalf was mirrored in everyone who I lied to about this incident.

I had no concept of the psychological corrosion that asking someone I love and treasure to lie for me would cause. It never even occurred to me at that point in time. It seemed minor. But as time passed, it ate at me as surely as any acid would.

The point of all of this is: I feel like a dinosaur. Lying seems to be the coin of the realm now. People even lie under oath, everyone KNOWS they lie under oath, and the only ones who ever pay for doing it pay due to a political vendetta, not because they violated the biblical or legal norms of lying under oath.

It is as if nobody even cares anymore. If someone lies, it doesn’t seem to leave any stain on some people.

There is something I find completely disorienting, alienating, and disillusioning about this.

So, they plan to have more dishonest elections? I’d say there are no worries if elections are honest and transparent.

Or do they mean they are going to arm their minions?

Ashley was not the only one killed that day by cops.

Yes. Perhaps Jan 6 would have been less deadly if the Capitol Police were unarmed.
