I gotta say, the idea of a black man charming these allegedly racist white folks with jokes at their own expense is pretty hilarious.

It always comes down to race with you people.  LOL

What is the FBI scared of.  Hmmmmmmm

RELEVANT questions.  

Which ones weren’t RELEVANT?  You don’t want to know more about gain of function?  You don’t want to know more about WIV funding from American sources?  You don’t want to know about why Fauci took commands to discredit other scientists (some who have been proven correct?).

Then wouldn't it be nice to have someone asking them that isn't more concerned about grandstanding for his base while everyone else realizes he's an idiot.

Doesn’t matter to me who asks the questions.  They are still the questions no matter who’s mouth they come out of.  Shouldn’t matter to you either

I'm of the opinion that people should not vote against their self-interest. They should educate themselves, stop giving a certain political party a carte blanche pass on literally anything they want to do as long as there's an "R" next to their name, and actually vote on issues, not emotion.

 

Because until that happens, the Dems can spend billions of dollars in outreach and better naming of bills and it won't matter. Those voters won't give them the time of day if they're a Democrat. 

Attention all African Americans.  Here is some good advice for you:  quickly taking the blue pill which has kept many in your communities dependent on the governments tata’s.  Open your eyes and ears, take the red pill and actually vote for yourself and not far left liberal elites.

Of course they don't - they cater to that crowd. Other comics don't, and right-wingers would cancel them in a heartbeat if they could. 

Now that’s comedy gold

Rand Paul isn't interested in him answering questions.  He's grandstanding for his base and to get more donations.  Fauci handled it how he should have.

No, Fauci should have answered the relevant questions.   Questions many of us would like answers to.

how is fauci constantly testifying and not 1 trumper will?

He may be testifying, but he certainly was t answering the questions.

This is definitely a much better take than say…”some cop pulled a person from a wrecked plane, therefore we shouldn’t focus too much on cops wrongfully imprisoning and killing people.”

 

You know, if that were actually someone’s approach to the conversation…

Who said that?  Certainly wasn’t me  yet you constantly try and do this.  
 

It’s a Georgie Floyd protest and police conduct thread ya know.

I don't think any HB regulars have claimed that Trump was not legitimately elected.  However, some have questioned "how" he became legitimately elected.  Same as I don't think any of our conservative posters have said Biden wasn't legitimately elected but they did raise some questions about things they felt were odd.

From a few pages back

And to answer you - yeah, I do think that if it's proven by multiple agencies that another country did impact our election outcome, and the popular vote was significantly different than the electoral college, I'd probably agree he was not legitimately elected BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

Kinda late to the party on this one Jake from

Agreed.  I'm expecting Joseph (and Whipple) to help with more efficient WR routes.  Some of the problems, in addition to slow decision making, and late throws, I feel were slow crossing routes (short mid range).  Thompson will get rid of quick, but we could use better routes imo.

Yep on all

This addition, along with other skill players are exciting and positive changes for next year.  However, the O line remains the area where I believe we need the biggest improvement on offense.  If they remain as bad as they were this last year, the addition of Thompson will result in limited improvement.  

I believe we have added some guys (along with the new coach) that gives them a chance to be a lot better.  But, they have to put it together on the field.

The addition of Thompson throwing the ball on time will help the offense in general and the offensive line in particular.

and this is why the republicans have been fighting covid response as much as they have.  they want it to continue as long as possible so they can weaponize it against the dems.......like archy is doing here.

Jennifer Rubin is in the media.  Used to be the self proclaimed Republican commentator for WAPO.

Are you honestly going to blame the rise of alt right candidates like Greene, Bobert, Gaetz and Cawthorne on the national media, rather than the people who voted them into office over less insane Republicans, and the CPAC conventions and Mar-a-Lago events that treat them like superstars? 

There are over 200 Republican Congresspeople, yet they get all the oxygen from national news.  Why is that.  They get more press than McCarthy.  Why is that?

Can you think of anything that compares to a President calling Secretaries of State in swing states and asking them to "find votes" however possible, convening party stalwarts and lawyers to hatch a plan for not certifying a legal election, urging followers to attack the Capitol to further prevent this process, and making The Big Lie the centerpiece of a loyalty test that currently dominates GOP candidates and narratives? JFC....that was a straight up coup attempt, and it's still going. 

If you don’t consider a President spying on and trying to derail a future Presidents campaign as something close to that then I don’t know what to tell you.  Not to mention a two year campaign afterwords to try and impeach a President because the spying didn’t work out so well.  So yep there’s that.

Huge f#&%ing difference between "remembering" the incongruities of the 2000 and 2016 elections, and making the totally unfounded claims of a stolen 2020 election the defining litmus test of your party. The Big Lie features a President who tried to subvert the Democratic process in the ugliest ways imaginable, and might still get away with it. It's not even close. 

 

You're in the party that currently stars Donald Trump, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorne, Laurene Bobert, and Louie Gohmert among some of the most willfully stupid Americans ever to hold office. In 21 years, you will still owe America an apology. 

Nice spin.  You should run for office.

the Congresspeople you mentioned get all the attention and oxygen because the national media gives it to them. And you of a people understand why.  
 

Some of those same Dem’s crying a river about not verifying an election are the same ones who voted to not certify an election in years past.  Sometimes multiple times.  Hmmmmm….

in 21 years, God willing I’m still alive, I won’t have s#!t to apologize for regarding any votes.   But it will be fun thinking about how much you wish it so.

Eh, in 2000 it came down to a few electoral votes in a Republican controlled Florida, and a Supreme Court decision that ruled on partisan lines to elect George Bush president despite him losing the popular vote. But when that wrangling was over, there was no orchestrated effort to fight Bush's legitimacy. Some of us blamed Clinton-fatigue and Gore's charisma deficit. Most Democrats moved quickly to opposing Bush's actions, not his legitimacy. 

 

In 2004, the typically accurate exit polls showed Kerry surging, but the final tally did not reflect that. Word had it that the Republican founder of Diebold, the company that made the voting machines, had promised to deliver Ohio to Bush. The conspiracy theory got a bit of traction, but it dissipated quickly. There were plenty of more believable reasons why John Kerry lost the election. But there was every bit as much evidence of electoral malfeasance as there was in 2020. Which is to say almost none. Democrats moved on. Their guy lost. 

 

2008? Well you could say the birther movement against Obama helped spawn the Tea Party, the rise of Donald Trump and an unprecedented run on guns and ammunition.

 

2016? Donald Trump declared the election totally fraudulent prior to election day.  Then he unexpectedly won via the electoral college. Then claimed his 3 million vote deficit to Hillary Clinton was the result of 3 million illegal alien voting illegally. Basically, he could claim whatever he wanted, and his devotees would run with it. 

 

And now having tested the local, state and national mechanisms for over-turning any election they don't like, we have a Republican Party that has won only one Presidency by popular vote this century, and is determined to rule even as a minority. 

 

Don't pretend both parties have handled this the same way. 

Don’t pretend Democrats quickly moved on.   They didn’t.  Unless you think 6 years and still playing the illegitimate card, still blaming the Supreme Court 22 years later, is “quickly moving on”.   I mean, if that’s the case, we still have 21 more years to blame ballot harvesting for the 2020 election.

No s#!t.

 

We touched on this before, and in all seriousness the attempted "prosecutions" of Trump have generally followed the organized crime formula, where the Feds have enough to make a RICO case, but the mob lawyers have enough layers of plausible deniability to keep the godfathers out of jail. 

 

And let's face it, some lower-level guys did get nabbed. It's not like the whole thing was a hoax. 

 

But the impeachments and Reports rarely rose to a legal level. They may not have been enough to put Donald Trump in jail, but they revealed a chronically corrupt man you should never, ever do business with. Some choose to celebrate that as innocence. 

 

 

You may not have realized this, but the top men in the mob either went to jail or got “whacked”.  RICO actually did get “the Godfather’s.”

As far as the hoax goes, what exactly did those lower level guys get nabbed for?
