The libs on this board have serious TDS and mental illness. Y’all need to be in straight jackets.
I agree but that is on us. If we elect someone that pushes the envelope, that is our fault. We should elect people that see the bright line.I think MTIOF is saying he agrees with that but it’s a principle in tension with the chain-of-command requirement for the military. He doesn’t want to see that tension pushed to an extreme. And Trump scared a lot of people that he would (maybe did?).
There is no bright line marv. It’s highly circumstantial.I agree but that is on us. If we elect someone that pushes the envelope, that is our fault. We should elect people that see the bright line.
I think you could also add serious msm illness. The performance on the 6th, ohhh my, hook, line, and sinker.The libs on this board have serious TDS and mental illness. Y’all need to be in straight jackets.
Some things are bright lines, some are not. The decision as to whether or not the military should deploy around the country and seize voting machines is supernova bright.There is no bright line marv. It’s highly circumstantial.
No it isn’t. Maybe not the military, but I can envision circumstances where voting machines should be seized for examination. What if the Democrats’ claims about Diebold were true? What if the Russians really did hack into machines?Some things are bright lines, some are not.

We have US Marshalls. The Pentagon is a very bright lightNo it isn’t. Maybe not the military, but I can envision circumstances where voting machines should be seized for examination. What if the Democrats’ claims about Diebold were true? What if the Russians really did hack into machines?
So you wouldn't trust the military if they were to sieze ballot machines for examination?We have US Marshalls. The Pentagon is a very bright light
I wouldn't trust the people, on either side/party, ordering the seizing of the machines.So you wouldn't trust the military if they were to sieze ballot machines for examination?
You want people to believe the Big lie that Senile Joe Biden won!
My comment was that you repeatedly whitewash Trump's unprecedented misconduct as president. You do it in every thread in which he's mentioned, including this one. Here, you've stated his conduct hasn't damaged the country. You've also made the laughable claim that the current administration has done more to damage election integrity than Trump can ever do. Finally, you've made the ridiculous suggestion that the reaction to the Trump presidency has been more damaging than Trump himself.Where did I “whitewash” Trump’s notion about machines or any of his post-election behavior? I criticized all of it often including in this thread.
If you can’t figure out the difference between what I said and what you think I said, I can’t help you. Nuance baby!
I didn’t see any unprecedented misconduct of his handling of our energy situation. Didn’t see any misconduct on inflation. Didn’t see any misconduct on the supply chain. Didn’t see any misconduct on Covid he came up with a vaccine. Those are the important things you should worry about, not social issues!My comment was that you repeatedly whitewash Trump's unprecedented misconduct as president.

Your extreme partisanship and fealty to Trump have caused you to lose any semblance of objectivity. But you clearly have no awareness of that, so enjoy life in your little cocoon of denial and delusion. I'm sure you're safe and comfortable there.
Yes. This is exactly what happens when deluded people think that when they don’t get their way, democracy is broken. Or they just pretend to seek democracy when they want is as much unrestricted power as they can muster.Bobby Kennedy probably ordered the most significant violation if the 4th Amendment of any AG in history. He got a pass for who he was, not for what he did. I think this discussion is similar. It’s all about who Trump is. There certainly are conceivable circumstances where such an order could be appropriate. The outsized reaction to his presidency is damaging all of us. Now some Democrats, academia types, and media commentariat are seriously proposing using the 14th Amendment disqualification clause on Trump and some of his supporters. I can’t imagine a worse action. That scares me a lot more than the EO that also was never issued.

I'm not talking about party members. I'm saying I'd trust the military with the machines before I would any local US Marshall or poll worker.I wouldn't trust the people, on either side/party, ordering the seizing of the machines.
I believe most military officers are honorable and intelligent.
Except Army second lieutenants, they are dolts.
1. Draft should never have been written. If it was a draft and marked as such it wasn’t subject to FOIA. It still should never have been drafted. This is an example of the thinking that was prevalent in the Trump administration that made his Presidency so disturbing IMO.A couple of questions.
1. How is a draft executive order that was never issued an indicator of anything? Drafts of documents aren’t even subject to FIOA requests in Colorado. Drafts are nothingburgers.
2. If January 6 was an attempted insurrection, what would a successful insurrection look like and did the January 6 rioters have the ability to carry out such an insurrection?
What’s weird to me is the huge overreaction to January 6 which overreaction is now programmed into the Democratic mind.
Well, that’s also nonsense. Not one change, proposed or implemented, will have a meaningful suppression affect on the next election. Most likely there will be zero impact.He already has Republicans changing laws to try to make the next election rigged. All hail King trump. Long live the king
Yes, no chance the military would have supported anything like this. Zero chance.I doubt the military would have followed, but writing that paper alone shows horrible judgement by someone. Did we ever find paper written by Clinton's administration suggesting the military seize Florida's ballots? I don't recall that.
I don't think we have discussed the other revelation, that in several states forms were submitted with differing electors. Isn't that the very definition of fraud? I would think I am not allowed to create a form showing I am an official elector and submit it to the National Archive hoping they choose me by mistake.
The most contrasting item is the border.I didn’t see any unprecedented misconduct of his handling of our energy situation. Didn’t see any misconduct on inflation. Didn’t see any misconduct on the supply chain. Didn’t see any misconduct on Covid he came up with a vaccine. Those are the important things you should worry about, not social issues!
Well, that’s also nonsense. Not one change, proposed or implemented, will have a meaningful suppression affect on the next election. Most likely there will be zero impact.
Total. Nonsense.hardly nonsense. They are trying to limit options on how people can vote with no evidence of actual fraud that they are supposedly addressing. Polling locations per capita is much worse in big cities vs out in the country so making everyone vote in person on voting day will tend to lead to longer lines in big cities where dems tend to have an advantage. Longer lines deter voting.
but yea, i am sure the gop didn’t think of that with their bogus law changes.
The military is one of the most trusted institutions in America. There’d be no better way to destroy that trust.So you wouldn't trust the military if they were to sieze ballot machines for examination?
I can understand why a military exercise invading Canada might be drawn up and discussed.1. Draft should never have been written. If it was a draft and marked as such it wasn’t subject to FOIA. It still should never have been drafted. This is an example of the thinking that was prevalent in the Trump administration that made his Presidency so disturbing IMO.
2. It never had a chance it be a successful insurrection. It was a perfect example of a protest that got out of control, very similar to many of the BLM protests that also got out of control.
My greatest concern was realized a long time ago - when the IRS targeted Conservative groups and the FBI participated, with the Democrat party, in the attempted coup of a legitimately-elected President.My greatest concern was realized a long time ago - when the IRS targeted Conservative groups and the FBI participated, with the Democrat party, in the attempted coup of a legitimately-elected President.
If you want to talk about paste out of the tube, those were the moments.
And do you know what's happened after those incidents? Not a damn thing. Today, there is no penalty for Democrats acting illegally or outside the Constitution, so that ship has sailed.
So you don't see a huge difference between initially contesting election results prior to the certification of the EC which occurs on Jan 6 every post Presidential election year and the Big Lie of the past 14 mos? You believe the "chad controversy" somehow spreads the blame where election "finality" is concerned and equate that with Team Trump and his allies still contesting the 2020 election results well into Jan 2022?I can understand why a military exercise invading Canada might be drawn up and discussed.
But a draft memo to seize voting machines based on evidence that is contested is a concern.
Agreed statutes that establish finality of elections need to address these problems. Letting every candidate just toss accusations and lawsuits around has to stop. Screw the chads.
Total. Nonsense.
Except for Trump’s personal cred, none of Trump’s post election conduct was consequential. If you think it is, that’s your weakness.You'd have more credibility if you simple wrote, "Trump Forever!" or "Any Republican is better than a dirty Dem!" rather than repeatedly trying to whitewash Trump's unprecedented misconduct as president.
An administration that gives serious consideration to using the military to seize voting machines and election records is reprehensible and un-American. Trump took a wrecking ball to American democracy from November 3, 2020 to January 20, 2021 and beyond. The fact that you believe none of that is of any real consequence doesn't say much for you.
I stand by every word. Trump questioned a single election. It had no consequences. Biden, Harris, and the Democrats in Congress attack the legislative actions of different states on grounds already rejected by the Supreme Court. That is well beyond their job descriptions and is consequential.My comment was that you repeatedly whitewash Trump's unprecedented misconduct as president.

I have no doubt that you sincerely believe that.Except for Trump’s personal cred, none of Trump’s post election conduct was consequential. If you think it is, that’s your weakness.

The 14th Amendment disqualification clause is serious business and the Democrats think it’s a political tactic. The Democrats are indeed doing more damage than Trump would, could, or did.
I absolutely believe that. I see Trump as history. You see him as actively residing in your mind.I have no doubt that you sincerely believe that.
Holy shit.
Lame retort, but actually funny as well given that it will almost certainly be "liked" by a handful of guys (the other resident Trumpers) who probably already have "Trump 2024" signs on their front lawns.I absolutely believe that. I see Trump as history. You see him as actively residing in your mind.
I can’t think of allowing a human being I have never met dominating my politics and beliefs they way you allow Trump to dominate you. It’s not just you, but most of the Democratic Party similarly see him. Amazing.Lame retort, but actually funny as well given that it will almost certainly be "liked" by a handful of guys (the other resident Trumpers) who probably already have "Trump 2024" signs on their front lawns.

Lol. Because trump sheep that still hold office are now ignoring trump's temper tantrums?... lmao.Except for Trump’s personal cred, none of Trump’s post election conduct was consequential. If you think it is, that’s your weakness.
Nah that's politics. Did you see what the Arizona Democratic Party did to Sinema? Have you heard AOC and her efforts to tear down Dems that aren't progressive enough. How Manchin is being treated? You and Cosmic are a marriage made in Heaven. Infighting....Lol. Because trump sheep that still hold office are now ignoring trump's temper tantrums?... lmao.
You realize trump is working on getting every gop politician primaried that crossed him...but yea his post election gestapo crap is meaningless...sarcasm
He has already gotten a few to retire over dealing with the rino crap trump slings at non trumper gop.
I'm not going to keep going back and forth with you, so I'll close with this. Your assumption about my party affiliation couldn't be more wrong. I was a lifelong registered Republican prior to Trump, and am now an independent. I realize that as someone who's walked away from the Republican Party, I'm probably more deplorable in your mind than a "dirty Dim."I can’t think of allowing a human being I have never met dominating my politics and beliefs they way you allow Trump to dominate you.

The only thing worse than temper tantrums are those who think they are a big deal.gnoring trump's temper tantrums?.
