man still leads your party
it's weird that you try to act otherwise
i mean, after losing on every front after electing him, i get why you would want to stop trying to associate yourself with him
but to act like he isn't a stranglehold on your party is laughable and certainly should still be talked about cause of that. instead of rejecting him after losing, y'all still run to his ****ty country club to kiss the ring lol

It's OVER 5,000!
I think my budget makes me more of an F-16 kinda guy, but I'm game either way. I support President Biden's argument for restoring the Second Amendment to it's original intent of allowing citizens to own the same weaponry as the military.

A Trump supporter who spent 10 minutes inside the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection was sentenced to probation Wednesday, avoiding jail, becoming the first rioter to learn their punishment in the riot investigation.
At a hearing in DC federal court, Judge Royce Lamberth said the insurrection was a "disgrace" and forcefully rebuked the "utter nonsense" coming from some Republican lawmakers and other right-wing figures who are whitewashing what happened.
"I don't know what planet they were on," Lamberth said of the GOP lawmakers, without mentioning any names. Recent releases of videos from the attack "will show the attempt of some congressman to rewrite history that these were tourists walking through the capitol is utter nonsense."

Wednesday's sentencing for Morgan-Lloyd won't set the standard for most of the riot cases, as Lamberth noted. But hundreds of other rioters are charged with felonies for assaulting police, taking weapons to the Capitol, destroying property or -- if they went into protected areas of the building -- obstructing the official congressional proceedings to certify the Electoral College vote. Prosecutors so far appear to be unwilling to wipe away that level of charge.
The Justice Department laid out several factors why incarceration isn't warranted: Morgan-Lloyd didn't plan or coordinate with others before January 6; she didn't get violent during the riot; she was only in one hallway for 10 minutes; she immediately cooperated with investigators when they came knocking; she expressed strong regret; and she doesn't have any criminal record.
On the day of the attack, Morgan-Lloyd posted on Facebook that it was the "best day ever," according to her court filings, but in advance of the sentencing she submitted a letter to the judge saying she had reshaped her political views since her arrest and was grappling with a family member's Holocaust denialism.
She said she has spent her entire life in a "very small town" in southern Indiana, which gave her a "sheltered life" that made her out of touch with "what life is like for others in our country." She claimed she had gone through a political transformation after her attorney urged her to learn about racial inequality by reading books and watching movies.
It is common for defendants in criminal cases to tell judges before sentencing that they've experienced changes of heart, in bids to get light punishment. Morgan-Lloyd made that case in her letter, apologized for her crimes and disavowed the rioters who had attacked police officers and trashed the building.
"I felt ashamed that something meant to show support for the President had turned violent," Morgan-Lloyd wrote to the judge. "This is not the way to prove any point. At first it didn't dawn on me, but later I realized that if every person like me, who wasn't violent, was removed from that crowd, the ones who were violent may have lost the nerve to do what they did. For that I am sorry and take responsibility. It was never my intent to help empower people to act violently."

After watching "Schindler's List," she criticized her son-in-law for downplaying how many Jews had been killed in the Holocaust. She also said she now opposes the death penalty after reading "Just Mercy," a book about wrongful convictions of Black Americans.
"I've learned that even though we live in a wonderful country, things still need to improve," Morgan-Lloyd said. "People of all colors should feel as safe as I do to walk down the street."
Her lawyer, Heather Shaner, said Wednesday on CNN's "New Day" that Morgan-Lloyd "was uninformed and misinformed" before storming the Capitol but the book and movie assignments taught her about "the relationship between the citizen's rights and the citizen's responsibility."
Sounds very CRTish on her attorney's part to force this poor woman to watch movies and read books like that. Poor woman sounds positively woke now. Doesn't the constitution ban this sort of cruel and unusual punishment?
