Should it bother you that I hate violence and war?

Nope. It bothers me that you think your agreement means something to me.

Not a bit. It’s just that you seem to think I need some sort of validation from you.

I don’t disagree, but I think it’s a tad more serious when the Nut Job In Chief greenlights political violence.

Boru

Would it bother you that I agree?

No, it’s bothersome that you feel the need to TELL me you agree. What makes you think that your agreement means anything at all to me?

I  fail to see the logic in objecting to agreement.

I know you you don't like me, and?

I know you don't like me and?

But why do you have such a problem with agreeing with me?

And especially what makes you think my agreement or not is bent to your likes? You know it isn't.

Has he already lost the election?


What’s winning or losing got to do with? By refusing to commit, win or lose, to a peaceful transfer of power, he’s explicitly endorsing the idea that there’s nothing wrong with using violence to seize or maintain political power. This is the sort of rhetoric that leads directly to actions like those of those waterheads in Michigan.

Boru

But you see - that is exactly the problem. Your question is not framed with "win or lose" - but simply "will he commit to a peaceful transfer of power"?

When the question is asked that way (as the reporter did) it infers that he.loses the election.

It is a "when did you quit beating your wife" sort of question.

So you have no problem with the president of the US endorsing political violence, but have a problem with his being asked if he endorses political violence?

Several right wing assholes were busted for a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

It appears that far LEFT extremists were involved in this plot. An Antifa member was taken into custody along with several members of the Wolverine Watchmen---far left, anti-police anarchists.
