Heh. :)

Fowl language. Are you channeling Groucho? ....your cadences are perfect.

Heh. Not on purpose. You know I'm not a Democrat, and I sure as hell ain't no Marxist!

Apologies... I couldn't stop myself. :)

your opinion on the validity of CW's warning is irrelevant to its enforcement. you're allowed to think whatever you want about whether or not your "red card" is in fact a card or if it happens to be the color red, but everything you ever posted here would still be deleted. best of luck, and do be careful. after all, it's my way or the pie way. preferably both.

Fowl language. Are you channeling Groucho? ....your cadences are perfect.

There was foul language and I missed it?

Fowl language... I believe someone got called a chicken. Speaking of chicken, you can make a mean pot pie out of a dead bird... after you pluck it.

Aw shucks!

That's pluck it... and you watch your fowl language, pal.

Don't red-card don yet CW, who else will be jealous of my success when i get a guest column dedicated to pie?

My one demand is for your guest column dedicated to pie... on 3/14! Or is that multiple demands? Aw pluck it. :)

Define government.

Define lazy.

It's not called a government, but that-which-we-call-a-rose, y'know. It's not accountable to the people, but neither was the administration of Louis XIV.

That which we call a rose isn't a government either. I'm sure you think you had a point in there, but Twitter still isn't a government and claiming that your First Amendment rights have been violated because you got "deleted" off Twitter was the subject... gardening and the pitfalls of le Roi Soleil and the French aristocracy wasn't.

When the most significant response to insurrection comes from certain powerful institutions, they're at least well on their way to being a key part of the de-facto government.

Utterly nonsensical. Refusing to provide a platform to those who commit insurrection does not somehow magically transform your institution into a "government," de facto or otherwise.

Compliments of The Lincoln Project. I am sure it has grown larger still.

Our system still has significant democratic elements, but we also have a degree of corporatocracy. Having that power in unaccountable corporate hands, to the extent that we do, has aptly been described as scary.

Boo!

How unfair of me. I should have given you "fair warning" that I'm part of the de-facto government. /sarcasm off

*laughs*

I said something to someone else and you trolled me by mischaracterizing what I said to fit your boring, repetitive agenda and I pointed that out in addition to mentioning your obvious reading comprehension issue and pretzel logic. Then I offered you some helpful advice with your failing "only I can fix it" project from which you ludicrously hope to skim off $100K for yourself.

Finally, I did not use foul language. You're confused (as Kick pointed out). That was you.

Take down the attacks by JFC and Kick or put my comments back up.

My opinion of your repetitive BS is not an "attack." If you can't handle my opinion of your BS, that's your problem and no one else's.

Cry more.

Mission accomplished. :)

Once again you are wrong.

Once again, your (lack of) intelligence is showing.

The attacks were first instigated by Kick and JFC, I was merely responding to their attacks.

I am responding with my opinion of your attack. Your (lack of) intelligence is again showing. If you post your opinion, you'll get responses. If the responses sound repetitive, consider the fact that your attacks are repetitive. Whining that someone attacked you first is both hysterical and incorrect.

A fair warning has to actually be fair.

It surprises no one that you don't understand what CW meant by "fair warning." *laughs*

There have been numerous uses of the same words that you find foul by other commenters without a peep from anyone.

Whataboutism is a weak argument.

Also, you don't get to call yourself an activist if you fail repeatedly at doing it. You cannot curse your way into making people agree with dumb things or force them into giving your spew credence. Bugger off.

The whole of of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

When your spew just sounds whiny and repetitive and very ignorant in the process, please go pound sound with some other trolls who care. You can all make yourselves "uncomfortable."

Activists take that discomfort w/the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small and grows.

Or it could be that you just sound like a repetitive moron who has been asked to stop trolling here but won't do it because he fancies himself an "activist" aiming to make others "uncomfortable."

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that's the point.

Congratulations. You have defined yourself fabulously, and you wonder why the majority here have referred to you as a troll. *laughs*

And that is why you and others here want to find anything to claim I am not behaving even though others here do the same or worse than me- because my pointing out the reality of the hypocrisy that dominates this site makes you uncomfortable.

You sound like a whiny 5-year-old child seeking frantically for attention.

I am just doing my job the way it is supposed to be done.

Keep posting your BS. I will respond if I want to. If you don't like the responses you receive, may I suggest you stop posting your BS.

You should follow my example.

You post, and I'll respond. If you can't handle my posts and insist on referring to them as "attacks," then you're a lightweight and not an activist. Calling me names gets you nowhere. Whining about whataboutism is a waste of your time.

My job here is to make you sound like a toddler and make you infinitely uncomfortable. Mission accomplished. :)

There's an unbridgeable chasm between political lawn ordure and the actual rule of law. The calls to execute the Central Park Five, even after their innocence was unequivocally known to all, were squarely on the side of lawn ordure. The Republican Party used to have some concern for actual rule of law, but they were always more on the side of lawn ordure.

Also CW:
Got that? Congress shall make no law -- meaning the federal government is forever banned from censorship. But it doesn't say one word about private companies.

Missing premise, here. The premise is true, so it doesn't invalidate the argument, but it is missing from the reasoning as stated.

The first amendment doesn't say one word about the states either, yet it governs their conduct as well, under the case law that interprets the fourteenth amendment as extending it to apply to them. Case law is law, and the fourteenth is law. The missing premise is that there is no counterpart of the fourteenth lurking in the case law and statute surrounding the commerce clause.

Twitter is not a government, nor is it a branch or agency or bureau of any government.

Define government. It's not called a government, but that-which-we-call-a-rose, y'know. It's not accountable to the people, but neither was the administration of Louis XIV.

When the most significant response to insurrection comes from certain powerful institutions, they're at least well on their way to being a key part of the de-facto government. Our system still has significant democratic elements, but we also have a degree of corporatocracy. Having that power in unaccountable corporate hands, to the extent that we do, has aptly been described as scary.

Don't worry, there's plenty of blame to go 'round. The primary voters and caucus-goers who decided to nominate Hillary Clinton certainly earned a big heaping helping of it.

A fair warning has to actually be fair.

Nope. It's CW's site. He can give fair warning that's truly fair, "fair" warning that's heinously biased, unfair warning that makes no bones about being unfair, or no warning at all. It's completely up to him. He's shown great forbearance toward the back-and-forth that has been drowning the comments section here. Any warning at all was more than fair at this point, imo.

The guy who screamed "buttery males", a few days before the 2016 election? No thanks.

Be very careful. Deleting people's accounts permanently is all the rage, right now. You never know when I'll get caught up in the new fad... Fair warning.

see comment 38.

Your laziness is again duly noted. :)

I am not concerned with your opinion of me. :)

You are an ignorant, repetitive, obsessive-compulsive troll and incompetent, ineffective grifter who is unable to comprehend plain English.

The Democratic party is not responsible for who the Republican party nominates. Fat Donny incited the terrorist attack on the Capitol and he, his party and his fans (you) own that.

The real truth is that it is not boring or repetitive that bothers you- it is that it exposes your bullshit and you as the fraud that you are.

I would wager extremely Big Money that "boring" and "repetitive" does, in fact, bother JFC as well as multiple others. I know this because I can read and comprehend the written word. The reason you have trouble understanding this was fabulously outlined in your bio by you.

You should believe people when they inform you that "boring" and "repetitive" bothers them. Not rocket science!

Anything else you need explained? Just ask. :)

There is nothing wrong with me mentally and I am not at all confused.

You blamed Republicans for Obama and Hillary. That is ample evidence of your confusion.

You just don't like having you inability to understand simple basic reality exposed.

You don't have a scintilla of a clue regarding what I like or don't like except the fact that I admittedly don't like trolls. I can tolerate intelligent trolls; you're not one of them.

Or you are just here to troll.

Your projection is again duly noted. Yes you are a troll, and I can prove it:

[54] Chris Weigant wrote:

Don Harris [49] -

Yes. You are a troll. Deal with it.

As for your language, you are pushing me very very close to banning the first person ever from my site. You have been warned, and this is your final warning.

If ignoring you doesn't work, then banning you just might. Address the issues in the articles or the comments to those articles, and quit with your own monomania, because nobody's listening. Instead, you are just trolling.

And we're ALL way beyond getting tired of it.

Is that clear enough?

Your self-description in the form of your bio proves you're ignorant:

I have none of the credentials normally listed in a bio. No degrees, no years of running a successful business and no experience in political campaigns or activism. I am simply an average person that has been working and living at survival mode. But I have the only credentials that I believe really matters. I am a citizen and I have an idea that may improve our political system.

~ Don Harris

And that makes you an ignorant troll.

I have the evidence... while you have little else than your repetitive invented fantasies wherein you are frequently confused.

Anything else you need explained? Just ask. :)

Chris implies (2nd para) that Trump needs to suffer serious consequences for ". . whipping up a dangerous mob . .", raising the question in my mind, if I or CW or any average person uttered the identical words spoken by Trump, even if another mob riot ensued, would we be subject to comparable 'serious consequences'??

Don't allow yourself to miss the forest for the trees; I think you are too smart for that. This impeachment isn't about "whipping up a dangerous mob" on one day with one speech. It is about multiple months of actions taken by Donald Trump to interfere in America's elections. It's not like he hasn't been impeached for it already; he withheld funds from Ukraine in attempting a quid pro quo wherein a foreign nation would disparage the political opponent he did not want to face: Joe Biden. This current impeachment is more of the same. Lying to the American people that he won the election began on election night. You don't claim you'll go to the Supreme Court if you know you won an election.

Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Matt Gaetz, Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump. This was premeditated.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/13/ali-alexander-capitol-biggs-gosar/

Now, that represents some serious 'round-about' logic, but it's logic that is damn tough to refute.

Incorrect. :)

Because it was Republikillers that offered us Obama in 2008 and 2012 and Hillary in 2016 which is what made it possible for Trump to be elected.

You are a mental case and obviously seriously confused. The GOP didn't "offer us Obama" or "Hillary" or anyone else. We the People choose our candidates regardless of Party. Majority generally rules in the vast majority of elections. Might as well blame those morons not voting for not producing your fantasy candidate. Might as well blame those idiots encouraging other idiots to vote for themselves for producing no viable candidates in any jurisdiction in America. This is all your fault, Death Harris.

I would use this paragraph to inform you to "eff off" if I didn't have ample evidence that you'd already spent your entire life doing exactly that very thing. We know this for a fact because you informed us in your bio.

So to recap: Pie. Pie. Pie. Pie. Pie. Pie. Pie.

Bake up. Rise up. Fries up.
Get real whipped cream. :)

Corporations are threatening to cut off the Big Money to insurrection-supporting congress critters. The Republicans are clearly terrified about voting today. If they vote for impeachment, the death cult will mark them for assassination. If they vote against, the cash flow dries up. Door #2 is your opportunity to recruit your candidates! They'll all be traitors, but they'll be Small Money traitors.

It seems Stucki and Death Harris got the memo. The preferred talking point is "Look over there."

good luck with that. i suggest pie.

JL

why did you avoid refuting it

Apparently and unsurprisingly, you delight in displaying your illogic and illiteracy. Nobody is responsible for the orange one's election but those who voted for him. Hillary was a poor choice for the Dems to nominate, but that did not force the GOP to nominate the demented troll that they nominated. As I pointed out, they had other options. Work on your reading comprehension and try not to be so boring and repetitive.

Now, that represents some serious 'round-about' logic, but it's logic that is damn tough to refute.

No, not really. The GOP could have nominated Rubio or Fiorina and the Hillary factor would have been unchanged.

So, who is really to blame for the capital riots?

Those people who nominated Fat Donny in 2016!

What has Fat Donny actually accomplished?

* Lost control of the House
* Lost control of the Senate
* Lost the White House
* 380,000 deaths and counting
* Instigated a terrorist incident at the Capitol

It's likely that none of that would have happened if Willard or JEB was president. They would still have gotten their tax cuts and judges, but the coronavirus would have been taken seriously.

All because the deplorables wanted an internet troll in the White House to pwn the libs!

Likely not, therefore by inflicting those consequences on Asshole Man, we are essentially implying that he has, by virtue of his status as president, some measure of responsibility far in excess of what normal folks have.

OK if that is the case, then we need to ask ourselves, 'Where and how did he acquire this extraordinary measure of power/responsibility', right?

And the inevitable answer writes itself and screams out 'We the American electorate, in an unprecedented display of ignorance/stupidity, were so dumb as to confer that measure of power and authority on a person that nobody with the least amount of common sense should have failed to recognize as a world-class asshole', right??

So, who is really to blame for the capital riots? I'd say, those people who nominated Hillary in 2016!

Now, that represents some serious 'round-about' logic, but it's logic that is damn tough to refute.

I hope that Biden has reconsidered keeping Chris Wray after this week. He should hire the internet instead. While the FBI and DOJ drag their feet, the internet is identifying the Vanilla ISIS jihadis and that includes the one who killed officer Sicknick. Send #extinguisherman to Gitmo.

"It’s a pity Michael isn’t alive to see this."

It’s a pity Michael isn’t alive to see this.

They attacked the legislative branch of the United States government by force, and tried to carry out a putsch.

somehow i think the use of that german word was not an accident.

god willing, history is not repeating itself, but this little jaunt through the halls of congress last wednesday certainly does rhyme with the beer hall putsch of 1923.

Yeah, I've been pretty pissed off for a whole week.

Four year, really, but it's impossible to ignore, at this point.

I've already settled on a title for tomorrow's column: "Fourteen Days In January." That's the crisis level we're really at, I think...

OK, that last bit was pretty funny!

Historically horrendous.

There must be consequences.

And there will be. Tune in tomorrow, for we are truly living history.

A POTUS only gets impeached twice once, you know. :)

Orange is the new Red.

They used to say that muslims were generally responsible for the actions of jihadis, that somebody in the community had to know what was going on. They said that muslims needed to call them out and they needed to snitch on them, despite the fact that muslims were the main victims of holy war.
