you are a real piece of work jj. you are such a loving and wonderful christian. a great role model.

Does this truth disturb you. It’s just a statement of fact. It won’t be me that judges her..or you. A great role model teaches his children truth. That doesn’t make me less loving. Some issues need to be exposed, not covered and tolerated.

i am going to be nice jj. do you have any idea what color his VP is? Also you do know trump is a rich white bigot right? you have it bad jj.

Yes. Dark. Not African American. Do you have any idea why she is there? It isn’t for her contributions to complex political problems. It is to deliver some votes due to her color. She is an idiot who slept her way to a career. And is married to a white guy?  That’s a new definition of “down for the cause”.

The facts of Biden’s past. Look them up.

That’s not the point. I’m not debating facts of the case.  Trump didn’t donate $130,000 of his funds to ultimately pay off a porn star (directly or undercut)that he didn’t have sex with. Surely you’re not naive enough to believe that he is telling the truth about not having sex with her. Even Clinton ‘eventually’ acknowledged sex with Monica. 

Didn’t Clinton pay a bunch of hush money to women he denied having affairs with?  I don’t remember if Monica was one of them but I don’t think so. And I don’t recall him admitting to sex with her.

Yeah big crime there. Clearly what tough on crime means.

answer my question first jj. you are just deflecting because you cannot give a straight answer.

Because it is about policy not religion. I vote for a candidate who proposes policies that align with me. It’s not about who is righteous. None of them are.

He was literally just convicted for covering up his misdeeds.

Biden is an agent for Iran and Hamas? 

This is a deranged post. 

I thought he was convicted of logging the payments in the wrong category.  Is that incorrect?

Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict

Former U.S. President Trump found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records

Supporters of former President Donald Trump, enraged by his conviction on 34 felony counts by a New York jury, flooded pro-Trump websites with calls for riots, revolution and violent retribution.

After Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime, his supporters responded with dozens of violent online posts, according to a Reuters review of comments on three Trump-aligned websites: the former president's own Truth Social platform, Patriots.Win and the Gateway Pundit.

 

Some called for attacks on jurors, the execution of the judge, Justice Juan Merchan, or outright civil war and armed insurrection.

“Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.

On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."

Threats of violence and intimidating rhetoric soared after Trump lost the 2020 election and falsely claimed the vote was stolen. As he campaigns for a second White House term, Trump has baselessly cast the judges and prosecutors in his trials as corrupt tools of the Biden administration, intent on sabotaging his White House bid. His loyalists have responded with a campaign of threats and intimidation targeting judges and court officials.

“This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump told reporters afterwards, echoing comments he often made during the trial.

A 12-member jury found Trump guilty on Thursday of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star’s account of a sexual encounter ahead of the 2016 election. Sentencing is set for July 11, days before the Republican Party is scheduled to formally nominate Trump for president ahead of the Nov. 5 election. Trump has denied wrongdoing and is expected to appeal.

Trump continued his attacks online after the verdict.

On Truth Social, he called Merchan “HIGHLY CONFLICTED” and criticized his jury instructions as unfair. One commentator responded by posting a picture of a hangman's platform and a noose with the caption: “TREASONOUS MOBSTER OF THE JUSTICES SYSTEM!!”

Jacob Ware, a co-author of the book “God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America”, said the violent language used by Trump’s followers was testament to the former president’s “ironclad ability to mobilize more extreme supporters to action, both at the ballot box and through violence.”

“Until and unless he accepts the process, the extremist reaction to his legal troubles will be militant,” said Ware, a research fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

A spokesperson for Truth Social said, “It’s hard to believe that Reuters, once a respected news service, has fallen so low as to publish such a manipulative, false, defamatory and transparently stupid article as this one purely out of political spite.”

All three sites have policies against violent language, and some of the posts were later removed. Representatives of Patriots.Win and Gateway Pundit did not immediately return requests for comment. A Trump spokesperson also did not respond to an email seeking comment.

“HANG EVERYONE”

After Thursday's verdict, many of his supporters also said that his conviction was proof that the American political system was broken and that only violent action could save the country.

“1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to Washington and hang everyone. That's the only solution,” said one poster on Patriots.win. Another added: “Trump should already know he has an army willing to fight and die for him if he says the words...I’ll take up arms if he asks.”

Other posts specifically urged targeting Democrats, in some cases suggesting they be shot. “AMERICA FULLY DESTROYED BY DEMOCRATS. LOCK AND LOAD,” wrote a commentator on Gateway Pundit.

While the posts identified by Reuters all called for violence or insurrection, most fell short of the legal standard for a prosecutable threat, which typically requires evidence that the comment reflects a clear intent to act or instill fear, rather than simply suggesting a frightening outcome.

Still, one researcher who studies extremist militias said the guilty verdict could inspire violence by reinforcing a conviction among some of Trump's supporters that he's a victim of a conspiracy orchestrated by his enemies.

“I do think a lot of these folks have been looking for an excuse to maybe mobilize for a while,” said Amy Cooter of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies’ Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism. “I hope I’m wrong. I’ve said for a long time, though, that I would not be shocked to see violence result from a guilty verdict, either directed toward the jurors” or others connected to the case.

Doubtful.  You are doing more good for Trump than you realize. Poster child for TDS. Keep it up.

If you go back and read carefully, you will note that:

That discussion occurred election night (that's Nov. 11)

Gore conceded (permanently) Nov. 24, after the court cases were finished. (Which is another story because SCOTUS halted the Florida vote counting.)

Conclusion:  You are either stupid or trying to promote a deliberate lie.  

(My money is on both.)

What lie is this of which you speak? It happened on Nov 7 not Nov 11.  And the counting never actually stopped. The SCOTUS deadline allowed FL to certify the vote. But counting continued apace for weeks but oddly enough they NEVER came up with a win for Gore. All big Al had to do was carry his home state. So not another story. One of us is stupid I guess. Not the one who can’t read a calendar though.

Yes.  Please cut and paste it here.

"I promised him that I wouldn't call him back this time," Gore quipped, referring to his Election Night concession to Bush he retracted an hour later. "I offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisions of the campaign and the contest through which we just passed."

Gore situation: concede, then withdraw concession for 5 weeks while peacefully waiting for the legal process to work. Accept the results and go home  

Trump situation: instigate a violent takeover of the Capitol and continue to spread lies for four years even after losing over 60 challenges in the legal system, including those with Republican appointed judges.

Very different approaches.  

Got it. He conceded to Bush then retracted it.  Of course it’s different. It’s a democrat. It’s always different.

So, he just took it back?  A concession isn't necessarily permanent?  Is that your argument?

He's campaigning on the claim he won the election. 

Does that not tell you anything?

 

Al Gore conceded then took it back. Did you forget?

hate is alive and well on the right. jesus loved poor people but the right thinks if you are poor you are not pulling your weight. you are lazy and worthless. they can deny it all they want but i see it every single day. probably from poor folks being like third world country undesireable. they follow the fatass orange man on whatever he claims. and he lies all the damn time.

And on the left.  Jesus loved everybody.  The right thinks you are not pulling your weight if you are capable of working and choose not to  or refuse to work because you are getting free money from the government. Try to be a little more truthful with your blabbing. Right now you aren't even close.

it is a shame you ignore all the crap trump does........do you EVER suspect a rightie of anything?

Well we are talking about Fauci not Trump so try to pay attention. I don’t see lefties doing any policing of their own, just lie and deny. They are politicians so what do you expect. Fauci’s exploits have nothing to do with Trump. I like Trumps policies. They work. My president does not have to be my mentor or idol. They never have. Talk about an oxymoron. Biden is just an old racist white guy, the literal opposite of what the democrat party claims to stand for. How do you let that slide fiddy? You are a typical loudmouth liberal hypocrite who doesn’t comprehend how idiotic your statements really are.

If you read the article posted, it says nothing of the sort.  But don't let that stop you. Covid wasn't real, nobody died ................yadda yadda yadda.

The amounts of money that we pour into the feeding bucket of research, only to get extorted once again if that taxpayer funded research results in the discovery of medical advancements is something that has long been out of control.  The problem is that committees like this one would rather look into partisan nonsense than they would the real problem.  Fauci could have made  hundreds of millions more had he gone into the private sector decades ago. That gets conveniently overlooked by people looking for a boogeyman.

I did read it. Fauci and his minions deliberately avoided foia requests and conspired to use personal accounts to avoid scrutiny. Fauci funded GOF research at Wuhan lab, the product was successful and then was released from the lab and ravaged the world. He didn’t release it but he could not admit his participation so he covered it up. Simple.

He spoke for over an hour at the state of union and seemed pretty clear for folks at least at a 10th grade level. Have one of those folks as an interpreter.

Reading off the promoter not the same as freelance orations. You’ve either seen Biden mumble incoherently or you have been off planet. Please don’t pretend.
