And since the vote is taking place in a secret location there’s little reason to grandstand. I really hope this comes back to bite the house protesters on the ass. ---

trump is now guilty of murder. He caused that woman’s death as sure as pulling the trigger. ---

that last Trump tweet was what the vile Laura Ingraham said earlier. I think she used the exact words “this is what happens” when people lose faith in the system and don’t trust the election, the same bullshit she has been saying for two months. And of course it’s the Democrats fault, they started it in 2016 I wish I had a good video dubbing program. “You see what happens, Laura. This is what happens when you fuck the country in the ass” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/t2-SG0S5orA/maxresdefault.jpg "The Big Lebowski - #2 - "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass"") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2-SG0S5orA) ---

If a kid from the street is the driver of a car who drops the other car occupants off to commit a robbery, then drives around the block to pick them up again, finding that they killed someone inside the robbery scene, he’s prosecuted for murder. Happens regularly. As long as the kid is black or brown no one gives a fuck. ---

Except that one is entirely legal, one is not. It doesn’t matter if the VP tries to throw out electoral votes. It wouldn’t do anything - he doesn’t have that power. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Are they equally culpable, no, but they are responsible. I am actually largely in agreement with your main point here, but you originally said the opposite of the above quote. You said the media was “just as culpable.” That literally means equally culpable. It is false equivalence and it perpetuates the very thing you are arguing against. If you had the said the media were “somewhat” responsible because they coddled Trump and his enablers, I’d be right there with you. The difference between what you said before and what you’re saying now is not pedantic; it’s the kind of equivalence the right uses all the time to downplay their extremism. The media does it all the time, too, ironically. ---
