Idaho & Busted White Supremacists

Watching CNN last night, it became evident from comments from the mayor of the town and the local police that the response on the arrests is running 50/50 in that 50% of the calls from people identifying themselves approved of the actions of law enforcement while 50% of the callers who wouldn't identify themselves hated what the police did and some threatened to kill police in retaliation for the arrests. Gee, I wonder who the latter voted for...
One of the funniest stories related to this is that one of these guys still lives with his Mom, who, in the aftermath of these arrests kicked him out of the house. What a bunch of losers - LOL.

Another interesting update is journalists have identified some of those arrested as participants in the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally of 2017.
You know, I bet they do! That's pretty funny.

Have you seen pictures of these idiots? They're all pretty young. That age when the rest of us in normal society were off in college, serving the country, embarking on a career, volunteering, whatever. Not these guys - they're riding around huddled in the back of U-Hauls obsessing about hating people who aren't just like them. What a waste.

That explains it!  Her nefarious plan is to switch to the Democratic party because in Wyoming, that's a sure path to success.

Oh, so you're saying you don't think she's a "real" republican. If she claimed Trump lost the election due to voter fraud, would she then be a "real" Republican?

Fake news. Anyone in their right mind knows there were no guns involved in the events at the capitol on Jan 6, and that his guilty plea to possession of a loaded gun and assaulting police officers must have been coerced by the FBI.

Yes.
This is about Mark Mazza's trial and guilty plea. What does an army and someone's fashion sense have to do with it? LOL

I can only feel bad that so many buy into this, "We came that close to losing our democracy that day."   Maybe people are not considering how large our government is. TRUMP WAS GOING TO DECLARE THE ELECTION VOID AND GIVE HIMSELF ANOTHER TERM, OR TWO??!!
What is wrong with people? I'll say this goofy way of being involved politically would not have happened before the internet. Now almost anything can gather enough momentum to seem real and likely. The internet is amplifying what politicians are able to do.
It doesn't matter one iota how unlikely their success may or may not have been. In fact I agree with you - i don't believe it would ever have been successful. However, the attempt in itself is illegal. Anyone who was a party to an attempt needs to pay a high price.

After viewing this clip maybe he isn't capable of what he's being accused of. Doesn't mean the people around him didn't do it.

No, after further examination it's obvious he's a control freak and has his nose in everything. 

I wonder what else they filmed "for posterity".  LOL.  
Hard to believe anyone voted for that guy. I wouldn't trust him to look after my dog.

NOT one student said they were coerced.  You can't provide one.  

You are just like most leftists and believe that if you make claims without proof, that suddenly becomes proof.  It doesn't.

It is simply an example of you living in your regular world of make believe.

Because you make an assertion that you "Feel" or make an assertion that "coercion Probably occurred", as a result of you wanting desperately to provide evidence that doesn't exist, that doesn't make the scenario you're putting forth, True. 

In other words, making things up out of whole cloth to fit your narrative doesn't cut it. 

The fact is that there isn't a student that you can provide, who said that he/she was coerced by this coach.
Wrong. This goes back to before 2015 when the guy was running prayer circles in the locker room prior to games. The parents complained to the school board that their kids felt pressure to join for fear of being ostracized or having their game/playtime affected. These complaints to the school board led to the board telling him to knock it off. Instead of complying, he enlisted a bunch of far-right lawyers to help his cause, and it all went downhill from there. The guy is a jerk and SCOTUS got this wrong.

Simple? Yes.
Correct? No.

Actually, maybe the simple thing would have been for the coach to do his praying in private.
