Again, there is a line between the protestors and the rioter/looters. Just like there is between the people that showed up to the rally on Jan 6th and those that breached the capitol.

The fbi had numerous informants in both the small groups who were responsible for breaching security and knew exactly what to expect. And yet not a damn thing was done to prepare a security force. What the BLM protestors did was 1000 times worse in terms of property damage and destroying thousands of business. I really don't give a crap if politicians were inconvienced for one day. BLM destroyed towns and ruined the livelihood of thousands and thousands of people. Cmon now, they weren't inconvenienced for just a day... ...it was just 1/2 day, they were back in session that afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldMaid 2,130 Posted November 30, 2022 26 minutes ago, RaiderHaters Revenge said: they did fund raise and bail out those arrested for vandalism and theft Yes, and kinda no. Kamala asked for donation to MFF which is for people who need assistance with cash bail. One of the statements from them reads as: “MFF believes that every individual who has been arrested by the police is innocent until proven guilty, and if a judge deems them eligible for bail, they should not have to wait in jail simply because they don’t have the same income or resources as others with more privilege.” So it’s more about the equality than the crime kinda thing. This was also found in the WaPo article as well: According to an accounting by the American Bail Coalition, verified by The Fact Checker with a review of Hennepin County jail records, all but three of the 170 people arrested during the protests between May 26 and June 2 were released from jail within a week. Of the 167 released, only 10 had to put up a monetary bond to be released; in most cases, the amounts were nominal, such as $78 or $100. In fact, 92 percent of those arrested had to pay no bail — and 29 percent of those arrested did not face charges. (The American Bail Coalition is a trade group of insurance companies who profit from underwriting bail bonds.) But circling back to MFF. Because they focus on inequality, of course some bad people are going to end up getting money.

Hardcore troubadour 15,460 Posted November 30, 2022 Having to sit in jail waiting to make bail is more of a deterrent than stiff sentences for predicate criminals. Your career criminal doesn’t think he’s going to get convicted, or knows he can take a plea. What he can’t get out of is sitting in jail waiting to make bail. Fist time offenders and non violent offenders are rarely, if ever, given difficult bail amounts, or any. So the only ones bail reform benefits are the predicate criminals. This is what happens when people don’t have any practical knowledge of how things work. Yeah, I know you can find a rare instance where someone fell through the cracks and was given harsh bail. Maybe fix that aspect of it instead of letting the dangerous predicates back out to do more harm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I think there is still some suspicion that Trump either directly, or by way of purposeful inaction, facilitated this thing. And we should know the truth about that. Despite his clearly and profoundly positive policies, we cannot allow him to be corrupt any more than we can allow Biden to be corrupt. If we are to restore confidence in the government we cannot continue to allow Presidents to be corrupt and get away with it. You can go all the way back to Clinton, and every president has demonstrated elements of corrupt behaviors and gotten away with it. This needs to stop, now.

If Trump backed out of politics tomorrow this entire thing would end. This is less about the day and what happened, and far more about the legitimate threat to power that Trump represents for Democrats.

He supposedly had info on Iran and China’s defense systems that would expose how we get our intelligence and/or compromise the people involved. So the "nuclear” tag is probably in reference to them as opposed to ours. Of course this is all info provided by "people familiar with the matter" that will be obviously dismissed as nothing. I guess we’ll have to see how/what the special counsel reveals. It would make more sense as to why they raided his home, though, vs them doing it over more trivial stuff. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
