No, it was an accurate observation. I made my argument and you balked, trying to claim it was not a fair comparison. All you did was prove my point. Here and in other threads, you clearly have some kind of bent against white people that borders on racism if not out right being racist. You selectively single out white people as bigots for doing the same thing that anyone else would do.

Again, your point here is absurd. It is the same thing as saying... we don't need a fire department because no houses have burnt down. But when a house does catch on fire, then we should bring on the fire department... except, you don't have one and now half your neighborhood burns down. It is too late to say bring on the SRO, AFTER a shooting starts happening.

LOL, what a cowardly, dishonest position you have here.

A justified "assault" Again, you want to support goons getting up in kids faces to attack them verbally, be prepared for a parent to intervene. I have not invented anything here. It is not my fault you don't grasp these concepts. Many folks don't, they think everything is perfectly OK and find until you physically touch someone and that is not how the law works nor how it works conceptually. People are well within their rights to defend themselves and their personal space from threatening behavior well before the person acting like that actually touches them. Assault and Battery are often two different concepts, because there is the act of being threatening and then the act of actually causing physical harm or unwanted touching. You are just hell-bent on defending this goon, well, because you support killing 1 Million babies a year, and don't like that anyone says it is wrong. Again, for the millionth time, he has no FACE act protection when he is the one who instigates something. It was not Mark who went over to the goon to push him to interfere with anyone getting an abortion. Mark was on the corner protesting like he always does. It was the goon who went over to him and started crap with him and his son. The FACE act doesn't protect that. Context matters. He shoved that goon only AFTER that goon came over to instigate crap with him, shoving him had nothing to do with stopping anyone from accessing the abortion clinic. Seriously, you keep ignoring this fact. Again, the FBI refused to answer any specific questions to refute, confirm, or verify any of the details. They just say they acted professionally. You claimed the FBI told a different story. They did not. Yes, it is quite vindictive to send armed FBI agents, guns drawn, to arrest a man in front of his family and children, when there was no need to. The fact that you sit here saying "boo hoo" is what proves you support this as a vindictive action and is EXACTLY why I will be saying "boo hoo" when Trump turns the DOJ on left leaning folks in the same way. Again... None of this has anything to do with the FACE act. That is the point here. He was already investigated by local authorities and they did not press charges because... surprise surprise, when some goon gets in a kids face to say shitty things and a dad intervenes to protect his kid from the goon continuing to try to do so, that is not illegal. It certainly has nothing to do with the FACE act. You keep ignoring the entire point here. The DOJ dredging this up as some violation of the FACE act was a politically motivated use of the DOJ to send a message and target people, facts be damned.

Well, you did not make this point... I did.

My house has never burned down... so having a Fire Department is not an absolute necessity. What is your point here? Of course, an SRO is not always going to be an absolute necessity, but the entire point of having one is to be there when it is. Because it is too late to need them at a school with a violent threat when the violent threat is already happening. Duh. It may not always be practical or affordable to have an SRO in every single school, no matter the size or risk... but that is a different kind of discussion than others are making here being opposed to them conceptually at all.

You keep trying to personalize this with me... I am here talking about what others are saying. I don't care about your subjective taste in women. No nuance to it, you called folks bigots. Do you think black people are bigots because they have excellent black actors, musicians, and athletes they can be interested in and look up to?

You are a complete waste of time. Seriously... The vast majority of charges brought are for misdemeanors and the vast majority to come are for misdemeanors. The vast majority of those charged were for illegal parading... This is not complicated, most of the folks there who did anything illegal were not involved in a felony level offense. Approximately 1,186 defendants have been charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/36-months-jan-6-attack-capitol-0#:~:text=Approximately 11 individuals have been,restricted federal building or grounds.

No, not everyone did any breaking to enter, nor are those the charges many are facing at all. I am very specifically talking about the folks who literally did nothing more than wander around and leave. Not pretending, the DOJ is in fact going after folks for the petty crime misdemeanor of illegal parading for doing nothing more than wandering around and leaving.

Exactly. According to your logic, America should have never entered the war. We should have demanded that Europe surrender to stop the loss of life. Same for Japan, might as well have ignored Pearl Harbor, right? Why respond and waste more lives. The only simple-minded outlook here is yours, as you actually agree with this nonsense. It is important for me to understand what a person actually supports, because like you, my guess is that they are being duplicitous. You want Ukraine to lose and support their losing, then you turn around and argue they are losing. It is a dishonest argument you are making, so you can support Russia. You are just fine with Russia continuing to invade countries at will, you welcome and encourage it. Speaking of simple notions... a peace agreement how? No, you have not. I understand your lousy arguments just fine. Disagreement != a lack of understanding. My outlook is no more binary than yours.

No, this is great. I am glad you agree there is no Russian Disinformation. Thank you for clearing this up.

Perhaps to you, but to the point of this thread, she is being criticized for having pretty privilege. LOL, there you have it. BINGO! You just confirmed exactly what this thread was about.

I can only understand what you actually argue. I am not a mind reader. Why do you keep playing these games instead of answering the question?

Again, Russia invaded Ukraine. They can't just end the war. This is like saying the United States should have just surrendered to Hitler, because the most humane thing to do would be to end the war. Did Japan attack Pearl Harbor? Well, crap, no need for more loss of life, don't go to war with them at all. Do you support NATO/US giving money and materials to help Ukraine? Yes or No? Stop refusing to answer this question. Wait, what? This is complete ignorance or revisionism. The world did put pressure on Russia to not invade. Zelenkski was not acting or talking tough, like they were inviting a Russian invasion. They were pleading for peace the entire time Russia was building up its forces for an invasion. KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — With the Russian threat growing, the Ukrainian president is pleading for peace and says Russian President Vladimir Putin would not accept his call. In an emotional address to the nation late Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Moscow’s claims that his country poses a threat to Russia and lamented that a Russian invasion would cost tens of thousands of lives." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ukrainian-president-pleads-for-peace-amid-russian-threat So... again, do you favor supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia? Of course this is a concern which is why so many in NATO/US continue to push for this support to continue. This is not the only possible outcome. You presume a prolonged war with continued costs to Russia is just something they will live with and history proves otherwise. There is no foregone conclusion that Russia will be able or willing to simply go on forever. The war can certainly become too costly for them as well. Stop them... how? Your argument is not to stop them, it is give up. And so far... you have yet to clarify for me where you stand on helping Ukraine to stop them. Well, let me know when you can provide more than such a simple vague response that doesn't actually respond to anything I said directly.

"It's REALLY IMPOSSIBLE to be "wrong" when they say they don't have the FACTS, just REASONS and EXPERIENCE. The FACT is, whether Russians tampered with the laptop with enough skill to HIDE it, is STILL UNKNOWN, no matter how CERTAIN you believe YOU are."

You certainly do care. Your arguments are all in favor of Russia ending this on their terms in the most beneficial way to them giving them all the leverage... while you also push their propaganda to justify the invasion and ignore their role in instigating all this before the full blown invasion. Yeah, you have said this vague crap many times, and every time I point out that there are many ways to get to peace, yours happens to be the one that most favors Russia while leaving Ukraine high and dry. You are not interested in what is humane either, that is all a ruse. The most humane thing would be not defending Russia, pushing their lies, justifying their actions, and ultimately giving in to their aggression, inviting more.

You are the one still pushing this as Russian disinformation. You put up or shut up.

Feel free to engage with me directly instead of playing your silly games like this. I give you plenty of opportunities and more patience than you deserve.

Give me the exact quote from Trump where you are sitting here saying he was threatening them if they didn't find the votes. You are changing the claim now. Where was Trump asking them to find votes through an illegitimate process? What reality am I refusing to see here? It is you who are presuming something nefarious with no evidence.

Nope. Here is my question you ignored again: What is the double standard you think they are pointing out by using terms like white privilege?

It is not impossible to be wrong at all. They made a claim that was false. Instead of you dealing with that fact, you are here pathetically trying to cover for it. It is also still unknown if Aliens secretly tampered with it in a way that the could hide it! See how dumb this game is you are playing? There is zero evidence the Russians did anything to that laptop and what we know now is that it was in fact a real laptop that belonged to Hunter and it was not some Russian disinformation campaign.

What is the double standard you think they are pointing out by using terms like white privilege?

YOU are the one presuming something nefarious here. It matters what YOU think it means and why you think it is something nefarious. I am asking YOU to defend your assertions. And? So you admit Trump said nothing nefarious. How is my thinking confused? A recount is in fact trying to get a specific result, enough votes to win.

LOL, they were wrong. They based their claims on partisan speculation to aid Biden in the election. Even now, James Clapper refuses to apologize for being wrong.

Find... how? You are presuming something nefarious there that was not said. Just like Gore wanted his team to find more votes by recounting. Of course everyone wanting a recount is doing it for their specific side. There is nothing nefarious about that. And they all know by how much they lost and how many more votes they need to win, pointing that out is not nefarious. My thinking is just fine.
