Your insight is about as scrambled as those eggs you care so much about. 1m or 3m don't make a difference to the hypocrisy displayed in this thread.
Another putrid take. See rhymes with stupid.

According to a Washington Street Journal poll, 43 per cent of Americans approved of Trump's decision to pardon non violent rioters. WTF is a non vbiolent rioter? Talk about a framed narrative lol
Funny part is that JD Vance said 1 week before that violent Jan 6 offenders shouldn't be pardoned. Only the non-violent. Trump then pardoned them all.

There's good footage of reporters asking Republican senators if they support thaes pardons and it's one of the most uncomfortable things to watch. Each of them is refusing to answer while just looking like they're so angry at it.

Great input mate. Thanks for sticking to the topic.
I don't have time for a debate. I'm just here to be snarky.

Thing is, a riot if by def a violent act of crowd rebellion, soi I don't think you can say any were noin violent offenders, regardless of whether they directly assaulted someone or not.

Lefties: Most of the protesters were peaceful
Righties: Most of the rioters were peaceful... like, WTF? LOL

Telling people that if you vote for Trump, that the genocide they're committing will pale in comparison to Trumps backed genocide is far more fucked up than that

Forgot to add that in also boasting/celebrating that trump will back a more hard core genocide, now that he won, purely because their side lost

And in America's overton window, they are liberals, not necessarily neo cons
Were they really saying that, or did they just believe Trump would only compound a terrible situation by abandoning any semblance of diplomacy?

Anyway, maybe his tough talk will actually do some good in this case. I think anyone who is not a blind ideologue would just like to see a stop to the killing, no matter who is the catalyst. Although the settlers are already at it again with IDF protection, apparently, so I think the ceasefire is already on shaky ground, no matter who brokered it or actually set it into motion. Time will tell, I guess

Little bit of an error in Trump's new gender thing. Under Trump's definition, every person in the US is now female

They were saying that, it was pure gaslighting, aiding and abetting a genocide is still genocide, no matter which side does it. That's why the ALP have lost me forever.

Post election analysis shows that trump didn't gain or lose any votes, the stupid, ignorant, mindless cult maintained his numbers

However for Kamala/democrats they lost 8 million votes from 2020. Of the uncommitted (those who chose not to vote this election) the new data shows 30% didn't vote because of Gaza, add that 30% to numerous who voted for Jill stein because of Gaza, and all it would've taken for Kamala to win was to back a ceasefire. She wouldve easily taken it then

But instead they chose to go after the never-MAGA conservatives by parading Liz Cheney and they got fuck all votes from them

The democrats lost this election by further pandering to the right and moving completely away from left wing politics. They abandanoned their own voters. So fuck the evil scum and suck shit to the MAGA cultists they'll soon see that Donny doesn't give two fucks about them but given how much of a stupid cult they are, they'll still lap it up

The radical left's double standards are shocking. BLM aka Burn Loot Murder have been getting away with much worse for years.

Trump letting go of the J6 hostages is nothing compared to the years of Burn Loot Murder chaos.

Are we talking about the protests where Biden and Harris said that any violent offenders and looters should face the full force of the law?

We had tony Abbott and Scott Morrison, trust me we were there before the US, but because our nation is a lot more stable and not the bat shit crazy the US is, our institutions held ground
The rhetoric under Abbott and Scomo isn't close to Trump's level.

The election system here will make it harder for a Trump like figure to take power. If we had a primary where we could elect leaders of the party than it would be easier.

Some more smaller updates:

- Trump has sent the military to the Southern border, but they're not allowed to do anything. They can't legally carry out law enforcement so they're basically just helping fill out forms

- Trump has pardoned two police officers who were charged with causing the death of a black kid, then covering up that death

- Trump has told Putin if he doesn't negotiate a ceasefire soon then he'll hit Putin with sanctions. I don't think he realises that Biden already put maximum sanctions on Russia

- Trump has threatened to cut off federal aid to states that have sanctuary cities. This includes cutting off fire relief aid for California

It's a public place. Not every protester was conmplicit in lighting those fires. But every Jan 6 rioter was complicit in storming the capitol.
Those arrested for lighting fires and attacking police stations during the BLM protests included the boogaloo boys, who are far right agitators who were looking to start trouble

But good luck getting through to a mindless cult

Gonna be seeing a lot of that for a very long time.
