Some are more objectively real threats than others. Like that guy who claims to only want to be dictator for a day, who sent an armed mob to storm the Capital building, pardoned cronies and war criminals, and brags about walking in on women naked.

For "an armed mob to storming", it looked a hell of a lot like a bunch of stupid ass demonstrators getting inside a government building with no plans, no leadership, and no fucking clue what to do, and then getting summarily expelled. That is to a coup what The Muppet Show is to Saw.

As for the "pardoned cronies", isn't today a bad day to single one side out based on that?

(Not to mention the singling out for "war criminals", when the other side is warmongering hawks, bombing, openly pushing for war, sabotaging peace deals, and openly assisting a slow burning genocide).

174 people were injured in the 'riot'. People died. Trump had called for resistence, asked for metal detectors to be removed, physically attempted to rejoin the crowd by grabbing the wheel of the vehicle taking him home, stood silent for hours during the attack, and said "so what?" to the news his vice president was in grave danger. It was a failed coup and betrays the constitution he swore to protect and defend. Now he describes it as a "day of love" and the 'rioters' as hostages.

Biden pardoning his son is a black mark, especially for the tax evasion. (I think pardons should be abolished.) Yet an order of magnitude less worrisome than the scum Trump has pardoned and promises to pardon.

As to warmongers... which party voted almost unanimously to invade Iraq without hard evidence of WMDs? Who backed out of the Iranian nuclear deal? Who praises bullies and dictators? Who moved the embassy to Jerusalem? Who is so deluted they claim merely winning an election will bring peace to the Middle East and Europe? Who threatened to pull support from allies -- in the midst of a war -- because they want dirt on political rivals or to catch up on underpaid bills. (Trump knows a thing or two about not paying when he owes someone.)

Why the silence about my other remark? Does assaulting, denigrating, and stripping the rights of women not bother you?

Why do you carry water for this man?
