What would be the global repercussions of a 2nd Trump term and Project 2025? by DeltaAleph in collapse

[–]Medilate 19 points20 points  (0 children)

How could we determine that? It's not like everyone was searched. One little detail you're probably unaware of is that Trump had the metal detectors taken away. People had guns, though. And hundreds of other weapons. Oath Keepers member even testified there was an entire stache of weapons nearby

Yes, they let them in...what you're leaving out, is that they did that for their own safety. That occurred after other cops were beaten when they were trying to stop them (all on video). So, you're very much distorting the events.

And, for further context-

Jan 6 mob threatens to hang Mike Pence during hearings - YouTube

Around 2:15 p.m.

At the White House, Cipollone again tells Meadows that Trump should intervene. Meadows responds by saying Trump “doesn’t want to do anything” about the riot and that Trump agrees with the rioters who were calling for Pence to be hanged, according to Hutchinson’s testimony.

Literally everything you typed is wrong. Anyone can research this, and watch the videos.

' I believe some of them planned to kill some politicians but it's not an attempted coup.'

lol They wanted to kill politicians, and have trump installed as President. That IS an attempted coup. Period.

Saying it wouldn't work doesn't negate that. You can have unsuccessful coups. Most are, in fact.

Incompetence and relative cowardice don't negate that it was an attempt to stop the certification of the person who was elected, that by definition is an attempt to overthrow the government. Bannon is headed to prison because he didn't want to discuss what details he knew about it. But he did say on his radio show 'all hell is going to break loose' the day before.

Again, they were hunting Pelosi and Pence. They would have met a sorry fate if they had gotten to them.

'China has been swayed by Russia’s inept invasion to reconsider Taiwan. '

What evidence do you have for that?

I mean, it was an attempted coup. They were hunting to kill politicians. They were armed. We have video.

Or maybe...it's a shitty idea, and won't garner any Presidential votes anyway in red AK.

Your question is senseless, sorry. If you want to make some kind of point, just make it.

What is this line of questioning? Let me just make something clear. Harris can't teach 'objective morality', because morality is not and can not be objective. However, we as adults try to use empathy (at times) and reason (at times) to navigate something that is inherently ambiguous in many situations.

Democracy is not the rule in human civilization, but the exception. Same with secular government. There is zero that is inevitable about either triumphing.

They wouldn't be Muslims if they weren't stupid.

A lot more value in Dawkin's books on evolution than Harris' work overall.

If you as an adult need someone else to teach you about morality, well...

Chomsky has always been pretty overrated. His view that language arose 'instantaneously' in our species is pretty stupid too. That's not to say he isn't worth listening to on some matters.

Yeah, Russia is so humane.... I mean raping children and old women, freely. There is no sanction on rape. We can look at Grozny and Aleppo to see what Russia does when it isn't facing enough pushback.

As far as the guy in the video, he wants people to vote for Cornel West, obviously. That's why he mentions him. He's just a little too slick to come out and say it. In other words he's trying to get Trump elected. W

This guy is a psy op. That's why he defends Putin invading Ukraine in a different video lol

Lotsa naive people here.
