From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to “cleanse” German society of individuals viewed as biological threats to the nation’s “health.” Enlisting the help of physicians and medically trained geneticists, psychiatrists, and anthropologists, the Nazis developed racial health policies that began with the mass sterilization of “genetically diseased” persons and ended with the near annihilation of European Jewry. With the patina of legitimacy provided by “racial” science experts, the Nazi regime carried out a program of approximately 400,000 forced sterilizations and over 275,000 euthanasia deaths that found its most radical manifestation in the death of millions of “racial” enemies in the Holocaust.

You're talking about eugenics. It actually started here in the US in the 1880s. 

The Germans/Nazi's did not invent this, everyone seems to believe it started there, but we were doing it years before them.

Jesus Christ. Get over your persecution complex. Most of this keyboard vomit is at best one-sided drivel blasted into your brain by some AM radio talking head, or, in the case of the bolded, a flat-out lie. I can't vouch for every company everywhere, but I can vouch for mine, which would be considered "woke" by someone like you. I'm in charge of hiring for my department. I DGAF what color/religion/orientation/nationality they are. The entire institution is the same way.

How about we keep the topic on Jan. 6th, where none of you has been able to defend a single thing going on in the hearing, just deflect about how the Dems did some bad stuff too, and Hillary Antifa BLM blahblahblah so that makes it okay to try to violently subvert a free and fair election. I would ask you if you ever actually want to know the truth, but you don't. You want to reinforce your own belief system and blame everyone else for your own sh!tty choices.

These two bolded statements are contradictory.  Just sayin'.

Good question.  I admittedly am not following it in detail at this point, so I'm also wondering if they played the quote from Barr saying he doesn't see any evidence that Trump did anything illegal?  :dunno:

Barr resigned 2 weeks before January 6th and he said in the hearings it was because of the baseless election claims that Trump wanted him to pursue---which were then used to try to get the election not certified.  So I'd be really interested in seeing where he said Trump didn't do anything illegal.

Former AG Barr says he wouldn't have prosecuted Trump for Jan. 6 or taking classified documents

Dareh Gregorian
March 7, 2022·9 min read
 

Former Attorney General William Barr said he believes former President Donald Trump is morally responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol but isn't legally culpable.

Asked by NBC News' Lester Holt whether he considered Trump "responsible" for the violence at the Capitol, Barr said: "I do think he was responsible in the broad sense of that word, in that it appears that part of the plan was to send this group up to the Hill. I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress. And I think that that was wrong."

But, he added, he hasn't seen evidence that Trump committed an actual crime. "I haven't seen anything to say he was legally responsible for it in terms of incitement," Barr said.

Holt interviewed Barr for a prime-time special airing Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. It's Barr's first television interview since he stepped down as attorney general in December 2020 after 22 tumultuous months as the country's top law enforcement official.

Barr, in an interview on Monday morning with NBC's “TODAY" show, said he doesn’t think Trump should be the GOP nominee and plans to support another Republican candidate. But asked if he would vote for Trump if he wins the party nomination in 2024, Barr suggested he would.

“Because I believe that the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party, it’s inconceivable to me that I wouldn’t vote for the Republican nominee,” he said.

But if Barr doesn't see anything making him legally culpable maybe he should review sedition laws:  Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition.

Eugenics has been around since ancient Greece. Trust me I know, I'm a huge fan (of eugenics not ancient Greece).

Barr offering an opinion really doesn't add much to the scales of truth.

Democrats Announce 'January 6th Hearings On Ice'

WASHINGTON, D.C.—As ratings continue to fizzle for the January 6th hearings, Democrats are trying a new format to bring the committee's scandalous findings to a wider audience. 

"We are proud, so proud, to announce January 6th Hearings On Ice," said Pelosi while attempting to squeeze into a silver leotard. "We invite parents and children of all ages to come witness this delightful spectacle as my colleagues and I dance to delightful musical numbers and spin our narrative as we spin on the ice!" 

The show will take place on a rink of frozen tears supplied by AOC herself, and will feature the talents of Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Adam Schiff, as he comically attempts to stay upright under the weight of his large watermelon-shaped head. 

Democrats hope the new show will give more Americans a chilling picture of just how evil Trump and his supporters are. 

At publishing time, the show had to be put on hold after every member of the committee slipped and broke their hips within the first 5 minutes of the first performance.

Well, for one, he was Vice-president Pence's advisor in the run up to January 6th.  He was the one who told Pence that he had no constitutional authority to reject electors and the legal theory being pushed by the President and his advisors was not on sound legal ground. So, yeah, it's pretty important for him to be there and testify.

Maybe it's time for you to also listen to the hearings so you wouldn't ask these very easy to answer questions, but congrats, you did get one free one off me.  No go out, learn for yourself.

Should be at the 5:44 mark.  A few seconds in he says "to date we have not seen fraud on a scale that would have effected a different outcome in the election."  Help me understand how that is different from "I haven't seen anything to say he was legally responsible for it in terms of incitement"?

Not to mention numerous comments throughout regarding his perception of Trump's state of mind.

Also that Ms. Lofgren does a great job of objectively summarizing throughout the video, no bias there.

You've gotta be trolling, right?  Do you honestly think this thing is a pursuit of objective truth?  I'm incredulous of that, you are not that gullible.  :thumbsup:

So his take is important, but only some of the former attorney generals opinion is important. Got it. Anyway, why did the security police let all of those rioters in?

You do know the difference between an opinion and statement of fact.  The first one is a statement, "was there evidence of fraud, yes or no--the second one is him drawing a conclusion that the evidence didn't reach a legal standard,  other people, lawyers and judges have said the opposite---it's an opinion, that's the differnce.

As to Ms. Lofgren-the committee is presenting there findings, so of course it's biased at this point, it's their conclusions.  It was there job to reach a conclusion on how this occurred. If it is referred to DOJ on a criminal recommendation the other side will get to present an alternative view. So if and when that happens, and we find out that the committee didn't pursue  exculpatory evidence---then you might have something about bias.  But until I see evidence like that, no I"m not going to say they were biased. 

And I think for someone who has admittedly not watched much of this to come to any conclusion and call others gullible is just as incredulous.  :cheers:

They are the same thing, don't be obtuse.  To use your wording:  "Was there evidence of fraud" and I'll add, since he said it, "sufficient to effect the outcome."  No.  Equally, "was there evidence of Trump acting in a legally responsible way to be called incitement?" No.  You don't think a statement from the AG on this subject, being both close to the situation and not shy about his disdain for Trump, is relevant?  

Also, since I admitted not watching a lot of it, but have easily found video of the parts I had seen to present to you, I invite you to provide a single piece of evidence which exonerates him.  It should be easy for somebody following it as closely as you are.

Unless part of your point above is that they already concluded he was guilty without trial and are presenting a case to that effect, in which case we already agree.  :cheers:

This is just wrong. There was or wasn't fraud enough to affect the election, is not the same as (IMO) he didn't clear the hurdle for legal capability for a riot. 

I just said the committee has reached a conclusion and they presenting the evidence for how they reached that conclusion. Guilty if for courts to decide, but the hearings are the committees conclusion, supported by evidence that Trump and others committed crimes to warrant an indictment. I haven't seen exculpatory evidence and I'm not sure why you think at this juncture the committee would be presenting it. My point was that they didn't work from a conclusion and are only presenting the evidence that supports a predetermined conclusion while ignoring/supressing exculpatory evidence---that would be bias. 

Are the hearings at this point biased toward a conclusion, yeah, of course...as long as they weren't biased on the journey, that's fine.

ETA: It just occurred to me on the ride home that you and HT think that these hearings have been confined to Trump's and other's speech, the rioters and what happened on January 6th.  They are about so much more than that. And frankly, I think people ignoring them, not listening to the volumes of evidence be presented about an attempted coup on our executive branch, at a the very minimum are ignoring their civic duties as Americans.

No, it's quite right.  You can almost never prove a negative.  He hasn't seen evidence of sufficient voter fraud... and he hasn't seen evidence of Trump acting illegally.  Neither statement means that neither occurred, but merely are his conclusions based on the data he has seen.  And in each case he was in a better position to make those conclusions (from proximity, access, and legal knowledge) than anyone in the world.  

You can choose to believe that the committee started on an unbiased objective search and ended with 100% damning evidence (BTW, did they present his plea to people to be peaceful and end it?).  I believe otherwise.  Note that those are opinions.  :cheers:
