Jan 6th Perps Charged With Sedition!

Posted By Mel Maki

Which words did they use? I have seen, "We are taking it into our own hands. We have had enough."
Too vague?

If thousands were investigated and 700 indicted and 11 tied into a sedition charge, it seems there should be some really strong statements.  Words that could possibly help the defendants are when the head of the Proud Boys expressed frustration that Trump would not do more than talk.

It's good you said I was not privy to the encrypted messages obtained and presented to the grand jury. People probably thought I was!

You deserved at least a "loon" for your remark.
Something like the guy that hangs around a sports forum and jumps a guy for using "we" when the guy is referring to "his" team.

He signed a "executives actions" on day one including: 1 Banning critical race theory. Er, ah, Virginia has never taught CRT in its schools and didn't plan to. 2. Eliminate mask mandates in schools. Well, that's likely to be held illegal by the courts since it was enacted by the general assembly of the state. And if you've been following how it's been going in the school districts that have been forced to so  by governors like DeSantis, you know how badly that's worked out.
Finally, we need to see what the Fed will do about taming inflation. It appears that oil production by the Saudis will increase:  https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/01/04/business/opec-russia-agree-increase-oil-output/
So, we'll see what that does with gas prices...
Yeah, maybe the Saudis will increase. It sure would help us if the Saudis were nice to us and decided to increase their production. God knows we have helped them before so maybe some day they will return the favor.

Can the ferocity they had in WWII still be in them? Watching that film, it doesn't seem possible.

Can someone (maybe a Lib) tell me what is wrong here??

I clicked on the video without much thought. When she did it, I gave a gasp.
I am surprised I have not heard more about it. There might be what, 20% of our population that would do this under certain
circumstances? Sorry, but that is what I think of a good chunk of our population.

And the problem is we have raised a bunch of shallow, selfish people that think they are doing good when they watch hours of the worst tv every week. People need good training early in life.
When all households received a tv average and above people mostly quit reading books. It is true and how many have considered this?
