Bill Maher speaks truth to power

Let me see if I can clear this up for you. All those people that burned and looted were BLM supporters. There are many, many more BLM supporters that did not burn and loot. That doesn't mean that I can't call out those that did just like I call out those Trump supporters that rioted. Most Trump supporters did not. Easiest thing in the world to say.


No hypocrisy here. It's only hypocrisy when you call out one and not the other. I call out both. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

And you’re still making the mistake of lumping the criminals with the cause. Many of the looters over the summer didn’t have anything at all to with BLM. They just looted because they could. It appears the Trump rioters did so because that was part of the cause, to overturn the election on behalf of Trump and some were there to harm specific congressional members for the cause.

There’s a difference, whether you can bring yourself to acknowledge it or not is a different story altogether.

There are differences.

The summer BLM was more a spontaneous outrage due to blacks being murdered in police custody.Not close to election.Not intended to overthrow the election.Plus took place in Portland and Seattle.

These took place in Wash DC at our Capitol.At the Senate and House.The day of the election certification.

Plus they were planned.They were fed "Lies" and "Provoked".And the endgame was the violent overthrow of our government.
AMEN (and I'm an athiest). Worst part is not being able to discuss with my friends on the other side of the fence to preserve friendship. That's why I enjoy screwing with the crowd here...anonymous. Hopefully, things can chill a bit soon (covid hasn't helped either) and learn how to give and take and exist together. We all have to eat.

The summer violence in the West Coast - particularly Portland Oregon, - was AntFa - and it was planned, the LSM and DPST/CCP leaders like nadler lied about it ('Its a myth') - Ted Wheeler encouraged and "Provoked" the violence- And the endgame was the violent overthrow of our government.[/QUOTE]

OK, let's drop BLM from the argument even though "they" lit the flame in calling for unrest that resulted in the looting and burning. My point is that laws were broken in both instances but during the summer "crimes" Kamala Harris our new VP was raising funds to bail out looters and arsonist to make sure that nobody was punished for those crimes.


That is my point. I hold nobody above the law for any reason or any cause. There can not be a justification for some crimes and not others because of where they took place or the race of those involved.


What those people did in Portland and other cites, were crimes. What those people did in DC, were crimes and it doesn't make a bit of difference where a crime takes place. A crime is a crime.


If any Republican politician were trying to raise bail money for simple trespass as Tiny pointed out, they would be crucified but our new Vice President can bailout looters and arsonist and that is the difference you can't bring yourself to acknowledge.


But let's get back to the topic. Do you want every one of the 74 million people that voted for Trump, punished for criminal trespass or punished for the actions of a few? That is what Maher, to his credit is saying we must not do.

Why would Maher take the time to warn against trying to punish 74 million people if their weren't people calling for that punishment. Geez, use your brain for once.


Have you heard of the "Trump Accountability Project"? No?













Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future

Yeah, yeah, yeah...there are bitter people calling for punishment, for trump enablers. There aren't 74 million trump enablers.

Again, NO ONE is calling to punish 74 million people.

Please stop lying.

@ClimateWarrior 7 is a parody account and a rather brilliant one at that. Read the line in the bio that says "Save the Pacific Island of Ydorap".

That's "Parody" spelled backwards.

The rest of the tweets are also ridiculously over the top SJW rants.

You got taken in.
