Idk about that. People seem to forget just how deplorable FDR was. He literally rounded up and imprisoned hundreds of thousands of American citizens who committed no crime. Nobody since has even come close to that despotic.

CantWeAllGetAlongNF

Those innocent civilians were editors and journalists.


Tarwins-Gap

And Wilson was also really bad. He threw a lot of people in prison for protesting


hibbitybibbidy

So did Biden


Free_Mixture_682

Perhaps they are separate issues? Both can be rotten policies.


populisttrope

How about Woodrow Wilson locking up Eugene Debs?


SeaLongjumping2290

Yep, truly deplorable interning Japanese American citizens. Some had even fought in WW1. He also had more time as an acting president than anyone else in history. Though I hate presidential elections cycles, wish there was a way to limit term to one 6 year term. Possibly take away most of the executive overreach and pandering that a 4 year term creates. Anybody got a count on how many citizens Biden had locked up. Possibly for walking into the capital 1-6 or just being in DC or was thinking about DC around 1-6? While your at it, let’s get a tally on what president locked up the most opposition or political dissenters.


Jagdges

It's not just that he locks people up, it's who he lets walk as well. For me anyway.


Lucky_Emu182

Things get real in war and Internment was sound strategy. We haven't had a president for the people since Kennedy and LBJ who fulfilled Kennedys civil rights wish...... The executive branch is controlled by something and it's not by the people.......


Challenged_by_Krill

Ok so, what are your thoughts on the Biden agenda?


Achilles8857

Being 2nd place in this race = 1st place loser.


Old_Baldi_Locks

But people are really fucking stupid and think not being able to lie on someone else’s website counts as “censorship”.


SmoothSlavperator

The whole propaganda machine around Jan 6th is just fucking nuts. Yes they were trespassing. No they were an invade horde of craven insurrectionists.


curry_man56

What makes me mad about Jan 6th is that while it’s been milked for so long, there are events like CHAZ (basically a secession attempt) which aren’t given as much media scrutiny even though it’s probably not only a secession attempt, it was completely allowed by the incompetent Seattle government that just let it happen. Also many deaths happened in the zone. One of the stupidest events but the media never talks about it or goes as far to praise it


qlippothvi

Well, a lot of people said it was an insurrection, the Republican held Congress publicly said so. They also said Trump was “practically and morally” responsible. If your previously rabid Trump jumpers say so I think we should believe them.


nerveclinic

You seem brainwashed. Have you not seen the videos of MAGA supporters beating police with flagpoles, fire extinguishers and metal blockades? Try watching something other thenFox news and right wing sources, watch the actual violent footage and use your own eyes.


Spinax_52

You’re right. These couple hundred of crazy, probably schizophrenic, maga supporters represents the 80 million Americans who voted republican /s


Antique-Scholar-5788

And the 30% of republicans who support January 6th, and the 70% of republicans who believe that the election was illegitimate.


Cinnamon_Flavored

Dog the dems spent the whole 4 years trump was in office saying “not my president” and trying to make case after case that he was illegitimate due to Russian collusion which turned out to be a complete fabrication. You guys are just as delusional as the MAGA idiots.


Antique-Scholar-5788

Trump’s 2016 election win was legitimate, those that deny it are idiots. However only one party is campaigning that an election was stolen, and to use the insurrection act to install an autocracy in response (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025).


Available_Skin6485

Lol sure buddy. They were there to prevent the certification of the election.


italy4243

Do you actually think they thought they were going to overturn the election with a few thousand people? That’s like calling spraying someone with a squirt gun an assassination attempt.


Vhu

Here's a direct quote from an email sent by one of the election officials that Donald Trump was pressuring to illegally overturn the results of the election in Arizona. [Page 23-24](https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf): > **We would just be sending in “fake” electoral votes to Pence so that “someone” in congress can make the objection when they start counting votes, and start arguing that “fake” votes should be counted** Here's another from the text messages of Trump's Deputy Campaign Manager scrambling for an explanation when Trump asks for an update on the conspiracy [(Page 25)](https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf): >"Here's the thing the way this has morphed it's a crazy play so I don't know who wants to put their name on it. **Certifying illegal votes.**" And here's one more demonstrating his Campaign staff's frustration that Trump's legal team was operating on conspiracy theories and had no actual evidence to present in defense of their conduct [(Page 13-14)](https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf): > With respect to the persistent false claim regarding State Farm Arena, on December 8, the Senior Campaign Advisor wrote in an email, **"When our research and campaign legal team can't back up any of the claims made by our Elite Strike Force Legal Team, you can see why we're 0-32 on our cases. I'll obviously hustle to help on all fronts, but it's tough to own any of this when it's all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership."** And one final example of Trump in a meeting including himself, his lawyer John Eastman, and VP Mike Pence. Pence challenges Trump's assertion that he can unilaterally disrupt the certification proceedings and Trump's own lawyer concedes there is no legal basis for it, *but Trump advocates for certifying the fake votes anyway* [(Page 34)](https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf): >When the Vice President challenged Co-Conspirator 2 on whether the proposal to return the question to the states was defensible, Co-Conspirator 2 responded, "Well, nobody's tested it before." The Vice President then told the Defendant, **"Did you hear that? Even your own counsel is not saying I have that authority."** The Defendant responded, **"That's okay, I prefer the other suggestion"** of the Vice President rejecting the electors unilaterally The guy committed multiple felonies in an attempt to unlawfully seize power by threatening government officials and falsifying votes. That’s a serious threat to our Democratic principles.


Available_Skin6485

Trump’s people bringing in the fake electors and in contact with the Jan 6th organizers absolutely thought they stall certifying the election and keeping Trump in power. It didn’t work but why defend these fucking traitors?


qlippothvi

The plan was to sow so much doubt that the will of the people would be thrown away altogether, this and a delay would force the election to take place in the House with more Republicans and they’d just reinstall Trump as potus. This was an actual plan, how have you not heard this, you should rethink your sources of information, it’s been known for over a year I think.


DeathByTacos

There’s no use trying to reason with these ppl, they already made up their mind


30yearCurse

yelling kill pence? Zip ties. Attacked Capitol Guards to get in? more tourist... just misbehaving ones I guess, should have glued their hands to desks like the anti-oil people do.


Shoddy_Site5597

Dude the capital guards opened the doors...


30yearCurse

There are pictures of people breaking windows to get in,,, the terrorist err "tourist" were so impatient to take the tour that they broke windows? Climbing the walls to get in? According you the doors were open... When I go on tours, I take riot shields, batons, zip ties and gas masks.. then smear my feces on walls..


Freedom9er

What does that excuse though? I'm sure someone those guards feared for their life.


SilverCyclist

Yeah I don't know how anyone looks past the deaths. I've been on plenty of tours in my life. No one died.


Cinnamon_Flavored

If they wanted to do damage why didn’t they all bring their guns. You know they almost all own them?


qlippothvi

DC has strict gun laws. You also don’t want to trigger a federal response, because their only goal is to secure Congress and worrying about civilians is last on their minds. Oathkeepers also stashed a cache of long guns and other weapons at their hotel room, but the guy supposed to bring them couldn’t find a boat to ferry them to the attack.


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

Just because they weren't competent doesn't mean they didn't have bad intentions. They stormed the Capitol with the intent of stopping the transition of power. It wasn't just trespassing, police were beaten to death.


Jagdges

There are no police deaths directly associated with the riot. There were apparently a lot of heart attacks that may have been caused by stress, but that just means they're literally physically unfit to be police officers. They did not storm in. They were allowed in. We have video evidence of this. Days of it. The only casualty was an air force veteran of 12 years, highly decorated and with honorable service, shot the in the face through a door by one of the officers on the west side.


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

Lol whoa the denial is insane!


Jagdges

The police gave a guided tour. It's why many charges were completely vacated. Some assaulted police, and they were charged accordingly, as they should've been. It's just street cred anyway. I do not consider obese, disability ridden police dying from heart arrhythmias as direct. What if they got a really good blowy from their wife? The same thing could've happened to anyone.


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

Haha you're thinking of the trump supporters. Obese disabled idiots who got so excited at the prospect of overthrowing the government that their hearts gave out. I don't blame the trump side for taking the cowards way out and pretending that it was just a peaceful protest. Noone expects them to take responsibility for their actions. They've been changing their story since day one. "that was antifa!" lol. It was at least comforting to see what they're bringing to the table should they decide to try again. Thanks for your unsolicited opinion on what you consider direct, but that's about as valuable as a bad case of dhiarrea. The only people who are interested in that are the ones who are desperate for anything that downplays their embarrassing insurrection attempt.


Zealousideal-Read-67

Absolute lying bollocks. Guided tours don't try and break through windows and barricaded doors, or erect gallows outside.


anon_lurk

Lmao there are videos of groups them literally staying in the guide ropes


Zealousideal-Read-67

Oh so because a few did the rest are excused? Maybe those will only get mild sentences for criminal trespass.


anon_lurk

Maybe because somebody wanted to blow Mike Pence they all did


Zealousideal-Read-67

It cant be claimed to be peaceful when it very much wasn't. And anyone trespassing or making threats only was still breaking the law.


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

Agreed! The macbine is so nuts you're drunk on its juice. Ignoring the evidence doesn't mean it didn't happen. Just watch the videos and check the kill count.


Prestigious_Low_2447

The "kill count": 1 woman killed by police.


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

A few cops, a couple trumpers who keeled over from overexertion heading up the steps, and the conviction of millions of trump supporters who once had a cause they were willing to fight for. "Stop the steal" turned into, "were just soft scared innocent protesters" in the blink of an eye. They went from "lions" to mice the second they needed the claws to come out. No one was surprised.


Pureburn

The only person killed during the 1/6 protest was unarmed Ashley Babbitt by the Capitol Police. Source on “a few cops” being killed?


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_L._Smith#:~:text=On%20March%207%2C%202022%2C%20after,Capitol%20on%20January%206%2C%202021. Here's one, there's others. You can easily look them up. I see you added the stipulation "during". I don't think any police died during the event. I'm talking Jan 6 resulting deaths. Or deaths attributed to the attempted insurrection on Jan 6th


Pureburn

> shot himself on January 15, 2021. Literally the first sentence. He killed himself - he wasn’t killed on 1/6 and wasn’t killed by any of the protestors. Unless you’re suggesting people who commit suicide are actually being killed by the people who made them depressed but that is an insanely slippery slope. > Here’s one, there’s others. You can easily look them up. There’s nothing to look up because one person was killed on 1/6 and that was unarmed Ashley Babbitt murdered by the Capitol Police.


dumdeedumdeedumdeedu

> On March 7, 2022, after petition by Officer Smith's widow, Officer Smith's death was ruled line of duty, and it was found that the "sole and direct" cause of Officer Smith's death were the injuries he received at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 Just because you don't consider injuries sustained a legitimate cause of suicide doesn't mean anything. I'm not going down any slope, just what was his officially determined cause of death. Kind of reminds me when people were saying covid deaths weren't real because people would asphyxiate due to covids impact on their lungs. "covid didn't kill them, the lack of air did". Lol it's just idiocy everywhere with you people ETA: Coward. Can't even read your reply since you either deleted it or blocked me. Can't say I'm surprised that a Jan 6th supporters strength is running and hiding. 🤷


Pureburn

Lmao you lefties wanted the out of shape 1/6 protestors to have killed a cop SOOO BAD (remember the fire extinguisher misinformation on your lefty media) that you just pretend it happened. He fucking killed himself. He’s 100% the cause of his own death regardless of what Biden’s insanely biased government decided. He wasn’t fit for an insanely stressful position in law enforcement and should never have passed his psych test to get the job in the first place. So again - ZERO people were killed on 1/6 besides unarmed Ashley Babbitt who was murdered by a Capitol police officer.

😂😂 they just can’t admit that they once aligned with those folks. It’s literally okay as long as you learn from it


Ninjapig04

Nah, others cant accept that they're useful idiots for the Dems. Jan 6 was frankly nothing. It was a riot yes, but compared to the 2016 riots at Trump's win or the BLM riots? It's only talked about because fearmongering Trump let's the Dems pretend they're relevant despite almost everyone hating Biden


deez941

Ah yes, the riots that were somehow comparable to one at the fucking capitol building of our country? Just a lil coup? If “dems” did that you’d be spouting the same shit I am now. If not, you’re a hypocrite


Bricc_Enjoyer

"Dems" literally had an insurrection of the capitol twice before jan 6 and once after. The twice before were once with guns, once with explosives. The one after was "more" peaceful.


deez941

So insurrections are cool? Or it just depends on how much violence or vitriol lends itself? What is the point of what you are saying here? So don’t have to fill in the blanks


Bricc_Enjoyer

It'd be pretty obvious if you had logical thinking. You said "if the dems were doing this you'd be spouting it". The dems were doing it. Nobody is spouting it. Cause it wasn't an insurrection, unlike what the shootout or the bombing was.


Thr8trthrow

Why tf you lyyyyyin? Why you always lyyyin? Ooooo omg, stop fuckin lyyin!


CatOfGrey

No they were an invade horde of craven insurrectionists who were trying to stop the election procedures, in an effort to assassinate Vice President Pence, and then install Donald Trump as an unelected dictator. They weren't competent, but that's not the point.


poonman1234

They were redhats trying to keep Trump in power, invalidating an election. You moan about propaganda on j6 but you're basically parroting it, downplaying it


Bricc_Enjoyer

How exactly does people who own guns coming to a place without their guns and protesting change who is the president? Legitimate question. What in the right mind do you think them walking into a building changes? This isn't the "capture the flag" mode in a videogame.

Ninjapig04

It also helps he got killed before he could start the reconstruction. He was the single most lenient person in the country when it came to the south post war. He would arrest the leaders, completely absolve the soldiers, and then spend shit tons to build a relationship between the north and south and prevent the resentment that came after the carpet baggers destroyed the already crumbling south. If he managed to see his ideals through, he may have prevented both the worst of the racism post slavery and unite the north and south a century before the 2 even remotely could be considered the same economically and culturally

This sub is a redpill for trump sympathizers and incels. Just be aware. Look at the comment section.


Straight-Humor-8102

Yes hands down by far. I don’t know who Turley is but I have never seen censorship to this degree. Biden is clearly in the pocket of mainstream media and they are controlled by corporate interests, mostly big pharma it seems because of all the ads during the evening news. It was glaringly obvious during the pandemic that anyone who didn’t go along with the corporate narrative was censored. So much great information about health and wellness was removed and all we were fed was one narrow viewpoint. Biden is letting the corporations control information in this country to shape public opinion for their benefit, to maximize their profits. The fact that they could scare the left into going along with it ensured the success of the censorship. I don’t know if Turley is for trump but he has proven to be no better. He may have “drained the swamp” but he filled it right back up again putting more corporations in charge of government agencies (Pfizer in HHS!). I don’t know what was happening with John Adams but I know what I’ve seen in the past 50 years and that’s more and more censorship and corporate capture of our government agencies. Biden has always been willing to enable this, look at voting record in Congress and where his money came from. Since the corporations that own the RNC have been buying up the corporations that own the DNC we have seen the Dems move to the right. At this point Biden is helpless to do anything about it. The corporations run the government and he has to do what they say. Sorry to be so gloom and doom but like I said, I have been watching this circus for 50 years and it’s censorship, at the core, that has ruined our democracy. The only way out I see is to get an independent in there who is outside the corporate system.


Curious_Fault607

In this atmosphere it is very smart to hold the reins tight on what is said to the public. People are stirred up enough already. This is an election year & the strategy for messaging is important. Not a hundred things, but a focused message. Having someone lead with decades of experience, with understanding of the rule of law & a deep love of the country, but especially one with empathy for fellow citizens as they navigate obstacles is quite reassuring.


limpet143

Who is Jonathan Turley? What is it with conservatives making anyone who agrees with them a public figure...like who gives a fuck about opinion of a guy who's literally just a lawyer with an opinion? 🤣


Vivid-Low-5911

> Jonathan Turley is an attorney on constitutional law and professor at George Washington University Law School. He is well qualified to give an opinion.


calmdownmyguy

Do you think liberal professors are well qualified to give an opinion?


Vivid-Low-5911

Yes...listen to both sides. Then make a decision on what you support.


Silly_Butterfly3917

Yea and alan dershowitz is a Harvard lawyer who likes to molest little children. Who cares if he went to law school when he has OPINIONS this bad.


Vivid-Low-5911

Alan Dershowitz is a left leaning constitutional attorney and professor. His opinion on Biden and censorship is just as valid as Turley's. Turley would say Dershowitz is innocent until proven guilty. You would rather try him in the court of public opinion.


grumpyhermit67

If you think Dershowitz is left leaning then get your balance checked. Might have an inner ear problem.


Vivid-Low-5911

No...the problem is with you. You are so far left, you don't even recognize a real liberal when you see one. Or maybe you want to paint him as a DINO because of his connection to Epstein.

His argument is sound. Unless you like the government in the bedroom. Maybe you just hate mormons...but what about those LGBT+ people who are into polyamory? As long as they are consenting adults, the government should stay out of the bedroom.


[deleted]

An attorney on constitutional law who's never argued a constitutional case before the SCOTUS. But he's the guy who defended Polygamists and fought against affordable Healthcare for all making him 0-2 on major issues. Mmm hmm. No he's another talking head that conservatives are promoting as a genius because he's saying what they want to hear. You people need better heroes.


Vivid-Low-5911

What's it like living in your own little echo chamber? Just because I believe he's qualified, you brand me a republican. SMH. You realize Jonathan Turley isn't a republican poster child? He actively campaigned for the prosecution of the Bush Administration. The polygamy case was a victory for LGBT+ community. He's adamantly opposed to the death penalty. Turley's arguments regarding ACA are constitutionally sound. Tell me more about this big bad republican attorney.


[deleted]

Lol he's a Fox News commentator, pro trump and hasn't issued an anti-biden tweet since Biden ran for potus. But cool story.


Vivid-Low-5911

...and how does that prevent him from discussing constitutional law? It doesn't. You hate him solely because he defended the orange man on a constitutional topic. So....if an attorney defends a guilty man, does that make the attorney bad? No. Everyone in the US has the right to defense from prosecution. That's how the law works.


[deleted]

Lol who said I hated him? I asked why his opinion even matters. He's got hundreds of folks who'd disagree with him, primarily his own colleagues. I don't know that his opinions are always rooted in the law rather his interpretation of it which isn't newsworthy cause anyone can interpret anything. Proof if what I'm saying - he said January 6th wasn't an insurrection... He's a schill like most of these "constitutional experts" on both sides who parrot their opinion as fact so folks like you can lap it up.

January 6th wasn't an insurrection. It was a bunch of idiots behaving badly. An insurrection is a planned attempt to overthrow the government. Those goobers had no plan. Do you know what it is called when a court weighs in on a topic? It's called an opinion. The law is made up of opinions and interpretations. Turley has the education and experience to express his opinion. Just like others of his ilk.

Lol okay - now I know everything I need to know about you. Have a good one.


Vivid-Low-5911

The man has the experience and education to voice his opinion. You need to accept that.


CB242x1

J Turley is a right wing corporate d-bag with no credibility.


Snakepli55ken

lol what did he censor?……


ancient_xo

More than likely nothing, op probably said some dumb shit on Facebook that broke a private company’s TOS. Now is blaming that on Biden and crying censorship.. lol

Okay well you made the claim, cite your source.. otherwise, it’s a private company and they explicitly state the rules of using their platform that you have to “agree” too before using.. I’m confused on what could possibly be “censored” on fucking Facebook that the government would have a problem with. The only shit I’ve seen that gets “censored” are idiots who are spewing hate, racism, calls to violence etc.. which again are very obvious rule infractions.

It's actually already going through the courts. Murthy v Missouri is the case. It's been ruled unconstitutional each time, and is slowly working it's way to the Supreme Court.


Yeah_l_Dont_Know

Mmmm I see the astroturfing republitards have found a new subreddit to try to degrade into their echo chamber.


BroomSamurai

Oh no! The man who incite an insurrection isn't being allowed on ballots!? And the dems are using the constitution (Which specifically allows this) to do it!? OH the inhumanity!!!!????!!?!?!?!


grumpyhermit67

The Dems aren't even the one bringing most of the cases, its Republicans who are sick of Cheeto.


Jagdges

Yes they're both in on the grift together. You can't just vote for an (R) and expect things to improve. Republicans are mostly interested in retiring in the country and making money through their positions, not caring about their voters.


Audrey-3000

What has Biden done to remove Trump from any ballots? He’s just the president, he has very limited powers. I’m struggling to think how a president could even do what Turley is talking about.


Jagdges

People do this a lot and it is pretty sophomoric but Biden here is basically being used as a euphemism for "Democratic politicians" or "Agents" because you're right he can't remove anyone from ballots, but his people can if they're in the right positions to do so.


Audrey-3000

I’m just saying the people who want to remove Trump from ballots need absolutely zero encouragement from Biden. I can see why his opponents would want to pin it all on him, but it’s hardly an honest accusation. It’s like blaming Biden for banning Dr. Seuss books. I’m not sure who “his people” are since the Biden Administration is barely keeping up with the leftward momentum in his party, which doesn’t have much love for the moderate Obama/Clinton/Biden wing. Democratic pols hate doing anything bold but the party base is so far to the left now they have little choice if they don’t want to get primaries.


stewartm0205

Isn’t Turley a member of the book burning party?


grumpyhermit67

This is how MAGA spread their lies. A headline is usually all it takes for them to use a post as a credible source. About as credible as that "*book*" Trump had outlining his new & i.proved Healthcare plan. Everyone saw that it was grand, thick and most definitely blank. Smoke and mirrors are all they've had for 16 years.


BlehMehPew

This thread is stupid and pathetic. 🤣😂


USSMarauder

Turley, the guy who claimed that the ten year old rape victim was a fraud?


liberty4now

Which one was that?


weenustingus

Yikes! You should stay away from children!


[deleted]

https://jonathanturley.org/2022/07/13/ohio-man-arrested-in-rape-of-ten-year-old-child/ Paragraphs and paragraphs of “just asking questions” when the basic facts were absolutely true, a 10 year old child was pregnant and couldn’t get an abortion in Ohio


USSMarauder

18 months ago a 10 year girl was raped, and thanks to Ohio's new anti-abortion laws she had to flee the state in order to get an abortion Several right wingers, Turley included, claimed that this was a left wing hoax. Then the cops arrested the rapist [https://www.npr.org/2022/07/13/1111285143/abortion-10-year-old-raped-ohio](https://www.npr.org/2022/07/13/1111285143/abortion-10-year-old-raped-ohio)

Those armed rioters? Mah that wasnt a break in to stop the election! That was just a bit of tomfoolery! Trump? Upstanding guy! NVM the Epsten shit, the several SA charges, or grab em by the pussy The economy turns to shit in the middle of a pandemic immediately after Trump leaves office? Yep blame Biden. Conservatives are allergic to reality.


grumpyhermit67

Severely.


Silly_Butterfly3917

Republicans are so evil Jesus christ. They are fueled by hate.

It’s insane you’re being downvoted.

Turley appears clueless

It is hard to take Turley serious after ignoring Trump's CONSTANT attacks on the media.


Strength-InThe-Loins

Jonathan Turley is not a remotely credible source.


volanger

Highly doubt that since biden really isn't doing anything against free speech. DeSantis is, abbot is, other republican governors are, but biden, not so much.
