A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    The problem is, not doing so is tantamount to treason to them. The election was stolen, this isn’t the USA anymore. This is some deep state globalist conspiracy. They’re so far gone that the only path forward is to threaten war and physical harm to others.

    Imagine. Some deep state conspiracy and the best person they could put in power was Joe fuckin Biden…lmao

      That’s some powerful malarkey they’re on. Almost enough to make me think the Union lost the civil war when the Confederates were brought back in. Stuff like this is how it’s been coming back to bite us.

        The inability of the good to do seemingly “evil” things for the sake of good will be the downfall of humanity.

        Example: imprisoning a psycopathic narcissist who thinks they can literally murder someone and get away with it. Good people should be OK with such a person losing freedoms!

          Pretty sure the person you’re talking about is Trump, in which case he’s facing almost triple-digit felonies, so how exactly are people not OK with imprisoning him?

          I’m not seeing the “inability of good” here.

            Well it’s taking a long-ass time to get him behind bars, plus, he’ll still be able to run for president from prison.

            Remember: It’s been almost forty months since a literal insurrection attempt and literal sedition where people died.

            The inability of good has already happened: He’s had years of working with Republicans to plan the next attempt.

            Even the FBI has openly admitted investigations were hamstrung.

              Hamstrung and yet here he is with 90+ indictments.

              The federal government generally prosecutes high-value cases slowly, so they make sure they have a case they can win.

              You not seeing things happening doesn’t mean things aren’t happening. The system is in motion and once begun it doesn’t stop.

                Hitler got arrested within 3 days of his coup attempt, and got a trial in 4 months time. He was in jail five months after his coup attempt.

                He was pardoned by his friends after spending just a year in jail.

                Getting Trump in jail is not the end of this story, it doesn’t fix everything. It would be a first step, and the US is still not there.

                  These are wildly different situations and Trump is no Hitler

                    Keep making excuses for people failing to execute on the promises of equality and justice.

                    It really goes to show how much you believe in America’s “all men are created equal” to just shrug your shoulders at a literal traitor having years of freedom.

        There was a reason that in some conflicts you don’t let anyone walk away, cause embers buried deep can simmer for generations and pop out and burn you alive

      It amuses me that they believe that people who dislike Trump love Biden. They can’t seem to grasp that you don’t have to be fanatically loyal to the party leader.

      I don’t believe any of this… but IF it were true, I think Biden would just be the Lacky so that the true leader could remain in the shadows.

      Again I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS… just saying

      It’s some pretty bad deep state government if you think about it. All these morons are still wandering around free and breathing.

      If you call something a dictatorship and then are still around the following day, then it probably wasn’t actually a dictatorship.

        I’ll fight em. Despite being in WV, there aren’t too many confrontational people here. And I’m in arguably the most liberal part, so I’m decently insulated from the crazies. People always say “liberals don’t have guns”, but it’s more “liberals don’t cosplay with their guns when they go to the store”…
