What are the odds of changing the mind of someone who still believes Biden stole the election?  One in ten million maybe?  Kind of like global warming deniers.  Trying to convince them they are wrong is very nearly pointless.

That said, I'll waste the next 60 seconds posting this a quote for those who believe Biden stole the election, and for those who do not believe in anthropogenic global warming.  Say this to yourself:

"When I argue with reality, I lose- but only 100% of the time."

now let's imagine the reaction from the right if this had been Obama or Biden's SS....fucking insane

Yeah and if any of those phones come up smashed or soaked in bleach bit there will be hell to pay! Unless your name is Hilary. 

Or Shrub and 44 million emails related to the origins of the Iraq War. You know the one. Because of Saddam’s complicity in 9/11.

My friend. We are on the same team. Both sides are as corrupt as the day is long. I couldn't stand Bush. Actually voted for Obama. 
We are all being played by big government, globalists, big tech, big pharma, big oil etc. They all love to see all of the infighting we are doing with each other. As long as we are distracted on each other we won't focus on them. A friend of mines son in law just retired from the FBI out of Washington. He said that if Americans knew only 5% of what goes on in Washington that we would take up arms and march to the capital for a real revolt. Not like on Jan. 6th where there was no guns other than the police. Oh wait I guess that guy in the buffalo hat did have a stick. 

Oh scary globalists, big tech and big oil.  Tell me about the 5% that would make me take up arms.  I'm only 90 minutes away from DC.  Tell me about what is happening that would make me throw away my job, my family, my comfortable home, cars and spiral the economy like a civil war would do.  Please.  Give me concrete examples of what is happening in DC, a quick drive for me, that would make me so angry I'd decide war is better.  

I'll give you 2 examples. If you happened to be walking by the capital building on Jan 6th and got too close to it you could be sitting in prison for the last year and a half with no charges or no hearing date. 

If you are a store owner in NY and someone comes in to rob you and assault you and you end up killing them in self defense you could end up in Ryker's Island charged for murder. 

Also, look at all of the freedom of speech that is being censored. Just because it is in your favor now doesn't mean it will always be. 

Right. Sure. Because all of the tens of thousands of people who attended the rally on the elipse and marched to the Capitol were arrested. DC has a huge jail capacity or are there Americans in FEMA camps or GITMO?

Two pretty lame reasons given for overthrowing the government. Good thing we have patriots like Steve O fighting for true ‘Muricans.

Im pretty sure you’re a conservative too. Welcome, again.

I didn't say we should try and overthrow the government. I just stated what I heard from a former government employee regarding government being corrupt. I agree that not all Jan 6 onlookers got arrested but they sure made sure that several hundred got arrested and made examples out of. So why didn't everybody that were there get arrested? If plenty got arrested that never went into the capital building then why didn't they all get arrested. Because they just needed enough people to make examples out of. 

The message is: You can go ahead and protest, pillage and plunder, cause major property damage, start fires, beat each other up in your own towns if you feel violated but don't you even think about coming to the capital and challenging our rule. 

All of those things you mentioned are right wing drivel. None of those things need to be revealed by a friends son in law that was formerly an FBI agent for fucks sake.

Ha, I know.  I was thinking the same.  Where's my 5% secret information that is going to make me revolt?  Hilarious.  These right wingers are all the same.  Zero critical thinking skills, and just pass around the same old nonsense.  

I'll tell you where your 5% is because you may not know from watching all of the state run media sources. I'm going to tell you where the actual coup was and is. We are still in the middle of the 5 1/2 year coup to take down Donald Trump. The Deep State started spying on the Trump campaign before he was even installed as President and then tried to frame him as a Russian asset. You might remember a thing called the Mueller Report aka the 40 million dollar tax payer funded witch hunt that the Dems and mainstream media propped up for a couple years until it fell apart. Then it was on to the Ukraine hoax which went no where. You get the picture. Now we are on to the next impeachment attempt which is going to fall apart equally as well. The FBI already said that there was no basis for conspiracy that they could find in their report to congress before this Jan 6 hearing façade. We already know that Garland isn't going to press charges so this is going no where other than the 400th smear campaign from the Dems and the MSM against Trump. But please take some solace in the fact that you will find out in some of the details of this witch hunt just like the first two witch hunts that Donald Trump can be a mean guy and sends mean tweets.

nobody WANTS to be president more than trump does.

the best part is that he wants it and can't get it.

It's not that he wants to be president. It's that he knows his country needs him. The radical liberals are not going after him; they're going after YOU and he's just in their way. He has a love for America that most people cannot even relate to. He passed up his billionaire lifestyle to fight 20 hours a day for hard-working Americans and be treated worse by the radical liberal media than any president in history. Being president is his responsibility and he will always fight for America.

(I essentially plagiarized this from unironically written social media. There are a lot of people that believe this about the most self-centered narcissist ever to hold public office.)

That plagiarized post is funny as hell in a nauseating kind of way!
One of the things that astounds me most about many of 45's staunchest supporters is that they look at a man in clown's clothing yet see him as wearing the robes of a prince.  And many of them who profess to be Christians and who follow the teaches of Jesus, worship this man who is more like the devil.  Objectively speaking, this is fascinating.  How it relates to what is going on in this country is terrifying.

agreed...it defies explanation. They are more than willing to vote for a piece of shit that was more "deep state" than anyone before him.

I'm thinking that if there really is a "deep state" and it couldn't prevent Trump from being elected the first time, it must be pretty shallow.

exactly....it's such a stupid premise

"Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel to President Donald J. Trump who repeatedly fought Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has reached a deal to be interviewed by Friday before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, according to people familiar with the inquiry."


Pool time, how often will he say "attorney client privilege?"

I say 76 times

I think I heard or saw somewhere that attorney client privilege does not count for White House Counsel because he is not the personal lawyer of the President

Yes, I agree.  Also, ACP does not stand when speaking about the intent to commit or the continuation of a crime.  It's called the "crime-fraud" exception.  

Ok, I got outlawyered by AMT. Let’s go with executive privilege then.

I’m holding at 76
