m pretty sure this is a common occurrence at the Capitol and across the nation.

If this is a common occurrence then will probably be able to quickly link to remembering for all those officers injured protecting near the Capitol in the summer of 2020?

You bring this on yourself. Create a culture of taking everything posted exactly literally, and you'll be a victim of the same culture. Remember the whole, "just to be clear, gerrymandering doesn't impact anyone's right to vote" thing you harped on when we all knew what NM meant? 

I don’t but thanks for playing   Someone being wrong about a process and someone posting a typo aren’t really the same.  Sorry you don’t understand this.

I know: a fact based book written by somebody with a PhD accurately predicting that white voters care more about culture wars than their own economic interests 15 years before it went mainstream is certainly something a person like yourself (A denier that climate change is caused by human activity) probably would reject. 

Lots of people have PhD’s who don’t know s#!t about rural Kansas or reason people like living the way they do and the way of life in small towns.  Certainly a PhD from Mission Hills (I will assume you don’t know why this is important) who hasn’t spent time out there fits that description.

I actually thought that you meant "I DIDN'T think about those people" in your original post.  That's why I followed up.  Thank you for showing me that you are a normal person, and it was just an oversight.

Thank you for thinking rationally about my post instead of jumping to the worst conclusion like many others here do.  

This is really great to see.  Hope it continues this way.

i didn't see that 1.     might have to try a search to find it.   but i know that every republican ad i saw rarely if ever talked about policies and always mentioned either the radical left or the socialist agenda.

That’s my biggest issue with political ads in general.  Neither side talks much about what they are for and instead talks shut on their opponent or the other party in general.  
 

i would love to have a rule implemented that says a political add could only discuss what the candidate is FOR doing and is excluded from mentioning another party or candidate/side etc to help eliminate all the negative adds.

" I don't think about those people"

 

Vs.

 

" I didn't think about those people"

 

Two completely different meanings.  One is an oversight.  The other?  Well we all know what that meant.  

 

It could also mean the list is being typed on IPhone in an online forum and spell check got in its way.  As you could clearly see from enough of my other spell check issues @Guy Chamberlincaught one yesterday and had a funny post about it, I don’t reread every word to make sure it’s correct.   
 

Or you could do what you always try to do.   Insert yourself to try and dunk on someone, which never seems to work out to well.

o were you slurring your speech when you wrote " I don't think about those people"?   

What?!?!  

I was telling the poster that I didn’t initially think about the suicides after.  I was initially thinking about who died in the actual riot.   Then he brought up the suicides after the riot from those who bravely served and I agreed.   
 

what is your actual problem?  Me agreeing with a poster?  Sorry that inconvenienced you.

LOL. such a staunch party follower.  

Ah yes, calling someone in the same party as me a wacko and comparing them to wackos in the opposite party (who actually do hold leadership positions) is staunchly following them

Is she trying to say he was “alt right” for the past twenty years?  
 

I was not able to obtain Warnagiris’s senior essay; a spokesperson for St. John’s said that the essays are not available online, and only those that win college prizes are stored at the school — and Warnagiris’s did not win a prize. But its title was listed in the school’s 2002 commencement pamphlet, and it comes straight out of ancient Greece: “Reason at all Cost: The Defining Human Quality in Epictetus’ Discourses.”

I don’t know what Warnagiris wrote about Epictetus, or whether the philosopher has continued to impact his thinking, but in the years since Warnagiris graduated from college, Epictetus, a relatively obscure Stoic philosopher who lived 2,000 years ago, has become a surprise rock star in the strange world of the alt-right.

Wow.  To be clear, this was a memorial to show respect to the police and armed services who fought and sacrificed their lives on that day or in the days after protecting our capital.

I’m not sure who rest of your rant was geared toward but I will ask why this doesn’t take place yearly for every officer and soldier who dies whether it be by combat, natural causes or suicide? It would seem to be a great remembrance for those who fought and sacrificed their lives every day.  

Wonder if we will see Granny being pushed off a cliff by Republicans in an add again this cycle?

What’s telling?   Please enlighten us all with your wisdom.  Or maybe just let someone answer the question first before you spout off?

You don't consider those people as dying as part of the Jan 6 attacks or you just didn't consider them initially?

I didn’t consider them initially, if they get honored sounds fine to me 
 

I guess I would have a question then about soldiers and other police officers not getting the same honor since suicide is a leading cause of death in those professions.  Should we have a yearly remembrance at the Capitol for all those who protected our country and died?  I would be for that too.

There have been a handful of capitol police officers who have committed suicide in the past year, due to the physical and emotional trauma received during the attacks on 1/6/21. 

Thanks.  I don’t think about those people.

Psssat…..one is an elected official that the top people in the party support being in office. The other one isn’t.  
 

sort of a difference. 

If that’s the barometer, why are you still fixated on Trump?  What office does he hold again?  
 

MTG is no different than the squad in that they are all wacko pseudo racists with whacked out ideas, except people in the squad actually do hold leadership positions.

I was able to read it just fine, and I don't subscribe. 

Every article I have read says only rioters died during the riot

Well strange but I can’t.   It asks me to subscribe.  Maybe you could just let me know what police officers died in the riot

Thanks but it’s behind a paywall. 

Is that our current Vice President agreeing that a duly elected President was illegitimately elected?   Hmmm….

Hope he goes to jail for a long time, if he is guilty, but honestly what’s the point in having the picture be of him and Trump?   Kinda piss poor journalism.

Kinda like MTG.  I’m also glad

It was naming all those who died at or as a result of the insurrection and having a moment of silence in their honor. There is zero excuse for the disrespect they showed, and by not being there their admission of guilt was palpable.

Wasn’t it just rioters who died as a result of the riot?  I know one cop had a stroke and died which isn’t related but I didn’t think any others did.

He doesn’t hold office.  It’s a point to show that even the man who trained Obama’s church leader can garner 100,000 supporters like other crazies (MTG).    you knew that silly goose.
