WHY ARE 7,000 TROOPS NEEDED IN D.C.

you sound like the reason behind why there are troops in washington.

... and THAT is the reason why protesters are being driven to violence. Even Legislators that dared to complain about the PROVEN fraud (that was not widespread) and of the violations of the State Constitutions that the Courts refused to hear cases on, were accused of causing the violence.



Who is responsible for Black rioting?

1. The person that tells you about the injustice that the Blacks are rioting over.
2. The person that claims the blacks have no reason to riot.

Ignore the warning, it makes no difference to me.
The truth is the truth whether you believe it or not and the truth is that those who are upset have legitimate questions and the Democrats are treating 48% of the US Population as Criminals. That is a DEADLY policy.

As criminals? Are they being arrested?

Research it yourself.
You will not believe me any way.

I may stand alone, but THAT speaks volumes to me about their intent.
Those people wanted to be HEARD by their government, not destroy it.

They have thrown away the basic right of the people to have their grievance heard and left a large minority feeling that violent protest is their only recourse.

This is, of course, completely false.

Unlike, say, Russia no one gets killed or imprisoned for merely talking about the (obviously lie) of "widespread election fraud". Indeed, that's all we've been hearing about for the past 6 months or so. In fact, there are hundreds, it not thousands, of websites, TV channels, and online videos voicing those (fabricated) grievances.

None of that would be possible if "they have thrown away the basic right of people to have their grievance heard".

The right to free speech gives you the right to say what you want (to a limited extent) on any street corner you choose to. It does NOT mean someone HAS to give you a locally or nationally broadcast platform from which to say it.

The fascinating thing about that photo is that it shows a lot of angry "insurrectionists" shouting, but they are not holding guns, or bats, or blades or pipes ... they are mostly wielding deadly cell phones and pointing loaded fingers!

When they were doing all of this "being heard" stuff (January 6, 2021) the government was being run by trump. Are you suggesting that trump was ignoring them?

deplatformed, censored, vilified? "yes" but killed? no!

True - all the while they were being deplatformed, censored, vilified - Trump was president.

In fact all the while Trump was being deplatformed, censored, vilified - Trump was president.

even more weird to need 7,000 troops in D.C. until mid March dont you think?

@KCfromNC very clearly does think. Thinking need not be painful. I recommend it.

Personally, I think America needs to put COVID back in its box first before worrying about the scattered toys. If a variant like the one we have here in the UK rips through, you're in a lot of trouble.

I'm not fear mongering, because it's 100% in our power. I just don't think *now* is the time for drama and division.

Sorry to be THAT guy, but...

It's already here. Due to its higher infection rate, it will become the dominant strain soon.

Yes, what a truly oppressive dictatorship we live in when people are allowed to *gasp* criticize you for what you say!

This is like asking why all the heightened security after 9/11. It should be obvious why.

Of course, it's obvious. However, the undeniable truth of the situation in Washington D.C. doesn't fit the misleading narrative to go after President Biden that's being pushed in this thread. Honestly, it's grasping at straws and it's almost like Trump's faithful loyalists are desperate to find something to pin on President Biden and condemn him for it. It's obvious that they're willfully ignoring the actual facts, no matter how many times their misleading narratives are debunked. Unfortunately for them, they're a day late and a dollar short to judge President Biden and grumble about something he says or does.

Trump's loyalists spent his entire presidency (and even while he was still campaigning) defending his indefensible behavior and they stubbornly insisted they voted for a President, not a pastor. The truth is, they don't have the moral standing anymore to judge or criticize President Biden about anything.

How long can it last? They didn't think it was necessary to have any evidence or any witnesses or any investigation or much of a hearing even in the House. So what have the got for the Senate to review?

Maybe there will be a media circus trial there lasting a month... Democrats tend to be like the Energizer Bunny when it comes to things you know.

A. Criticize
B. Ban

For some folks those are the same thing

For other folks those are very different things. (Example radio, tv etc)

No one is REQUIRED to let you say stupid or hateful things on THEIR forum or platform.

A ban is NOT the same thing as silencing.

If far right conservative evangelicals want their "grievances" to be heard, let them make their own websites and platforms.

Oh, wait.

Because normally you need extra security, and heavier-duty security, when you put the leader of an insurrection on trial.

Or we could be forthright enough to give the actual answer to the question--It is necessary to make the city appear to be under threat from from phantom Trump supporters.
