@volkris Thats exactly my point, salaries always must be paid first legally speaking so the only consequence will be there is nothing left to pay the people in the end.
@ech hahah I have brief moments of clarity from time to time, best we dont squander them :)
And from what little I know I'd agree there.
@volkris They just wont fire people, they will let their budget go to 0 and then they wont be able to afford peoples "compensation". Cant pay people their compensation if its all gone on salary first.
> I've been wondering this also – he said things like "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." in the speech right before. To people who think everything Trump does is axiomatically evil, this is an obvious smoking gun. But, of course, that is embarrassingly absurd: lots of politicians regularly use metaphors like that in their rhetoric.
Thats my thinking. On the surface it is no unusual than any other politicians language at rallies. That said I wouldnt be surprised if Trump intended a riot secretly, it would be like him, but thats not proof and I care more about what is objectively true than what I think about him... So I am very curious if there is any solid evidence or if its just "come on man, you know the dude is evil", even if he is.
> From what I've heard, it's pretty clear he didn't want any violence or do anything to try to make that happen. He just wanted a protest outside the Capitol building: "we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give... them (republican senators) the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country." and "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
On the surface I agree, there is an argument to be made that publicly he made choices that show he was not inciting violence... Though again i am mostly curious about what may have came out in court regarding his intent that was not public. It would not surprise me if people have testified or recordings uncovered where he did intend a riot. If that exists I'd like to know, if not I may not like it but I'd have to admit that a court shouldnt have cause, no matter how much I dislike him or suspect his motives. Evidence is all that matters.
@volkris the problem is the cops wont care about time wasted, the department might but individual cops are like toddlers, they arent thinking that far ahead.
I doubt a department would act against the officer eitherthey will just demand the extra cost stops them from doing their job, go over budget and let the tax payers sort it out like they already do.
Ya know, it would be nice if every time a cop had any contact with a suspected criminal (after they are detained or before any qwuestions are asked) everyone got a freee lawyer on the spot. Something has to be done to keep these cops in check and stop them from constantly threatening with the color of law and getting away with it.
@freemo Yeah, asking people to put their evidence on their table sounds like a pretty good idea.
But it does get frustrating when you ask if there has been evidence, and people were reply that there absolutely has, and what they present isn't evidence at all, and you point that out, and they say it is, and at that point there's nowhere else to go with it.
It's raining outside!
What's your evidence?
Well here's a bucket full of water from the rain!
...That bucket is empty.
No it's full of rain! Look at all this water in it!
Siiiigh
I refer to it as the book club theory. We all showed up to the book club, and we all read books with the same title, but the plot lines were different in different people's copies, so it's pretty darn hard to discuss the book.
YEa I remember the barriers being moved. That is off and worth investigation... but the public, every members, knows well enough even without barriers they cant break down a door (or even if its open) and just rush into a building, let alone the capital.
There is no way to excuse their behavior, at best you can find some fault in the other side (plenty in fact) but none of it would tell any reasonable person they could behave that way.
The thing is there is no difference of opinion. I didnt state if i thought he intentionally started the riots or not. I only asked if there was any solid evidence that came out from the trials.
I care very little about anyones opinion even a judge about trump, I do care about what evidence may have came out in court though.
@freepeoplesfreepress Yea the whole premise of the story is no one could go outside without dying... so he walks to save him... he wears a jacket but not much else.
> Well, at least her personality is more pleasant than #CandaceOwens’ or #TomiLahren’s 😂
This is true.. she isnt "ugly" or the most obnoxious person around... and there are plenty of worse people in both categories... but she doesnt turn me on.
> But someone’s personality in a talking-head format is usually different than their personality IRL. Her IRL content is a good example of this:
Watched a few seconds of this just to get the idea... she is more tolerable here in how she expresses her self.
Still... wouldnt be someone I'd ever go on a date with. But then again I am fairly picky,.
@volkris Very true of course... but i care less about if there was evidence you may disagree with or find less damning and more about hearing about what evidence, questionable or otherwise, that may have came up that is less speculative.
Depends what you mean by "remotely"... I mean I am sure she is some guys types... But the long nails, heavy makeup, and her uneven teeth (and more importantly personality) is certainly a big turn off for me.
Though to be honest when someone has a good personality I do find their unattractive physical flaws are harder to see. So I am sure she looks a lot uglier to me due to her personality without me being fully aware of it.
She isnt even attractive, she just wears a ton of makeup.
Thanks, that was all information I knew. I was asking if there was anything that came up that is a more direct connection of him explicitly stating it.
Nice to know you block people who both hate trump, but actually want to know what the facts are... takes a pretty epic level of being a piece of shit to get there, congrats.
> Do you argue for a living or as a hobby?
As a research scientist one could say I do it for a living.
> don't care. I want the son of a bitch behind bars. I don't care if he's arrested for swiping a candy bar.
Me too I'd love to see him behind bars... again not asking about if he "deserves to be behind bars". I am asking specifically about the jan 6 riots so I can determine if **that** is the reason he sould be behind bars or one of the other reasons.
> Have a nice evening by fucking off.
I suppose thats one way to say you dont care about facts without saying it... gladly, bye.
No worries, happy to keep you in the loop. We are investigating now but my response I think sums things up... his rudeness is not acceptable, and there is a seperate issue of report spaming me and various instance admis are checking in on.
the report spamming is an open matter, not even sure if its an issue yet.
@realcaseyrollins haha yea
I think your point is really "Christians dont sleep around"... and I'd say that is true a lot of the time, though not always... depends how orthodox the christian is. I do know a few Christians whoa re polyamourous (though again they are rare if they are serious Christians)
