Much of the guard has been in and around the Capitol? Correct? So how is that anything close to an occupying force or how it is to insulate the administration? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Read on USA Today that some of the insurrectionists are allegedly thinking something’s going to happen on March 4th, but after what they did at the urging of Trump, the government has to at least keep an eye on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gas prices are going to go up more due to refinery outages in Texas arising from the winter storm. Also curious why you’re measuring from Election Day? We didn’t even know who the next president was going to be on Election Day. Edited February 21 by bigbottom 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For instance, regarding the bolded - we still got kooks on the right that think trump is going to be sworn in on March 4. And we have no idea of any intel of emerging threats. We had an unprecedented threat last month and members of gop are still going on tv casting doubt on the election results - Scalise did it yesterday.

But Trump was more criticized for the separation which differed from both Obama and seemingly Biden (and from this situation which is not about that) But of course, to play victim, we have to act as if its all the same.

Nothing in the article talks about them not trusting Biden...but that is what you get when you continue to peruse such awful sources. Which is why they get quotes from Dan Bongino...pump him up as ex Secret Service rather than what he has been doing recently which is presenting baseless conspiracy theories (like how the election was stolen) and his political failures trying to run for office. He has no credibility in talking about Biden or really what he claims Democrats think at this point. Problably why he is on Hannity. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
