Good riddance. One of the handful of RINOS who voted for the 1/6 Commision ie partisan circus.

What a Bullshit Post.

Jan 6th was about overturning a legitimate election and installing a dictator (Trump). Anyone that believes otherwise is either a fool, or a traitor to America.

Trump planned multiple ways to try to overturn the election, from using the military, to getting Pence to not certify it, to having fake electors in close states.

Fortunately, the military and Pence wouldn't play along.

Awww, look who's butthurt again.

And therefore the solution is to radically change our economy and double our debt.

We radically changed our economy in the late 90’s through deregulation. It’s gone swimmingly ever since.

No one cares about debt.

It was also radically changed in the 80's with Reagan's voodoo economics that accelerated the income divide.

They are. Most do not fit through a metal detector.

Cut off a Peterbuilt and it is amazing how much space that semi's front bumper takes up in their rear view mirror. You cut off a trucker at your own peril.....

We used to play this song while rolling through town when hauling grain.

I prefer this one ...

“Fortunately”…. Maybe because it’s all in your head?

The income divide only ever gets smaller when we're in a recession or depression. If we have any economic growth, the income divide increases. Any time we have positive growth, those who have more end up with more than those who have less. I know math is hard, but if I take 10 and 100, and I increase both by 10%, what was 90 apart at the start is now 99 apart. Both grew 10%, but now the "divide" between them is greater. You're blaming Reagan for growing the economy and calling it a bad thing. Why do you hate everyone being better off than they were before the economy grew?

Math IS hard for Jon, and he’s an accountant.

All things being equal, that is correct.

All things being equal, that is correct.

That definitely adds up.

That is a great song.

My all time favorite list also includes C.W. McCall - Wolf Creek Pass and Convoy.

If you think a few dozen unarmed rednecks rioting at the Capitol was some sort of coup attempt, then you're even dumber than I've given you credit for...

My apologies.

You forgot the Buffalo Shaman. It was touch and go there, democracy worldwide in the balance.

Democracy worldwide? That's understating the gravity of the situation, we were looking at Armageddon - Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

The apparent gap between news sources is astounding. I mean Trump could eventually still be proven completely innocent and the election proven to be truly stolen I suppose but it isn’t the way this is trending. Or at least to be so cocksure regarding the irrelevance of it.

Perhaps it was a matter of degrees. Little, tiny, or ineffective coups are ok…or something.

Attempted coups of the last few years:

1. January 6 / vote decertification
2. The AnTiFa Riots of 2020
3. Attempts to amend or get rid of the Electoral College without following the prescribed process for changes to the Constitution.

Illiberals have 2 of the 3 I listed and the 3rd is IMO the most insidious of the three.

Am I missing any? Maybe open borders or allowing non-citizens to vote?

Russian Collusion - I mean Trump was a patsy to start with with and electing a person beholden to another country (especially Russian) has to count as some threat to democracy.

You forgot trying to overturn the 2016 elections by manufacturing a conspiracy theory …. about Trump coordinating with Russians to change the outcome of a national election

Good catch. 3 out of 4 of the most recent coup attempts belong to constituents of the Dems.
