I guess when faced with choosing between basic logical consistency and obeying the White House, what does one expect Schumer and his caucus to do? Kind of a multiple layers of hypocrisy when you pause and consider the subject matter as well......

The Democrats' filibuster situation is completely hypocritical and a bad idea.

In both cases, the outcome seems to be to increase Russian influence over the West.

But wait, I thought contributing to (or even being seen as contributing to) Russian influence on Western politics was one of the worst things that anyone could ever do.

But wait, I also thought that to express concern about Russia was to be "stuck in the 1980s."

Being a leftist must be awfully confusing.

Not to be outdone, Michigan's attorney general, Democrat Dana Nessel, raised the possibility that white supremacists were at ultimate fault for the attack.

This is well after after the situation was already resolved, and well, well after the demands were made. I guess the demand for the release of a person known as 'Lady Al-Qaeda' really has no import on Happy Meal or on the FBI as to 'motive'.

Happy Meal himself cannot verbalize the motive of the hostage taker -- and vapidly moves on about the 'rise of extremism in this country'. I mean, why not take a shot at trying to write this up as some form of domestic terror when the Dementia Poster Child of 2022 cant seem to verbalize either the correct source of this terror, nor the target of the terror, nor the goal of the terror.

There is a convenient bit of rhetorical sleight-of-hand going on here. A "terrorist act" is an act committed by a terrorist. The term "act of terror" says nothing about whether the perp is a terrorist or not. Obama was very shrewd about using the "act of terror" terminology, and obviously Joe was not too stupid to learn at least that little something from Obama. I want to hear a democrat characterize this as a "terrorist act." Calling it "an act of terror" is perhaps more forceful than "some people did something," but that's about as much as I will give it.

I think the points are pretty good. What do you think about Biden's rather vague hand wavey language? You seem to to chalk it up as the end all and be all for the subject.

I mean, Biden went out of his way to label Rittenhouse a white supremacist, and here, he can only make vague statements about terror and only obliquely imply about the issue of 'domestic terror'. Quick on the trigger to blame domestic terror (falsely), and here simply waxes stupidly about a general 'act of terror' and tries to shoehorn a thing about domestic terror into the conversation.

But I guess Happy Meal's hand waving and avoiding the real issue and subtly denoting 'domestic terrorism' is pretty solid for you?

Are you comfortable with that? Do you see the hand waving occurring? Do you care?

Biden made a mistake in speaking about Rhittenhouse well before he had the facts and stepped in it.

I guess you like that approach as it seems, in this instance, you would have preferred he label it an act of terror (or terrorism or whatever) off the bat?

Or would you prefer he wait, like he should have done with Rhittenhouse?

Quote:If you oppose Biden's legislative agenda you're a racist, a slaver, and a segregationist, but if you take a synagogue hostage on shabbat while screaming anti-Semitic jihadist slogans and demanding the release of 'Lady Al-Quada' Biden isn't sure what to call you.

I would prefer that the Dementia weekly poster child not try and label or insinuate that everything under the sun is the result of 'domestic terrorism' or 'white supremacists', as he is seemingly wont to do. Same applies to his comments equating anyone opposing the 'Democratic standardization of emphasizing efforts that will make it easier to commit fraud in elections' that they are highlighting as an acolyte of Jefferson Davis, or being equivalent to Bull Connor (as Happy Meal did expressly not that long ago)

But given that that topic will seemingly be the Democratic election platform, I can understand the crass reluctance.

Given this guy's explicit demands, and given his explicit targets, I would think that labeling it an 'Islamic terrorist act' or an 'anti-Semitic terrorist act' seemed appropriate. But those are terms that are apparently verbotten to the progressive wing of the Democratic party (that is, almost the entirety of the party) and probably wont be verbalized.

And instead, we see the shitbird attempts to implicate this on 'domestic terror'.

Too bad this, and the Waukesha killings didnt fit the acceptable 'terror act de jure' that can be verbalized by the Democratic party for the most part. This one didnt get smothered like Waukesha, so the next best thing for a Democrat to do is broadly peak about 'an act of terror', and maybe stretch it to try and implicate 'radicalized domestic terrorists'.

As for terrorist acts, I will pay more attention when they start labeling the BLM riots as acts of terrorism. I would certainly be terrified if I was in the middle of one of them. I thought terrifying people in order to reach a political goal would qualify. But apparently not for the Democrats.

* Not our resident low level Democrats, but the party leadership and straight ticket voters who hang on their words. Not going to blame the waterboys for the things the coaching staff says.

I'm not sure the bolded is correct. There are definitely a bunch of groups out there - the accelerationists they have been called. These are groups that want the **** to hit the fan in general so that they can use the upheaval to move towards a territory inhabited by white people.

Not sure about the numbers. Perhaps they are pretty limited but it seems that we narrowly avoided an epic ****-show in Virginia that time that the governor shut down the gun-rights rally. It seems that many of these groups were targeting that gun rally as a chance to really stir things up.
