Two sentences. This is you admitting to my accusation.

Not saying I agree or disagree, but this guy is pretty straight-arrow:

This is gold. It's only diminishing it if you don't think the rioting was bad. You don't think the rioting was bad, so you think I'm diminishing what occurred today.

(Another classic tactic you used was switching diminishing and equate. First accused me of diminishing, now equating)

Since they got through Georgia and Michigan, it would appear that this is going to take not a lot more time than the house debate over PA.

That seems less likely, if all they have is the video we've all seen. She's in for years of Internet humiliation, though.

Absolutely love the house members humiliation when they don't have a senate signature for their muppetry. Gaetz and Co are the worst kind of scum

Given that you've aimed this specifically at me, it seems you're attributing me with much more optimism of sunny days than I really have. I expressed a hope; nothing more.

That said, I'm intrigued. I've never been remotely close to placing a wager on our forums before, but I like this one because a charity wins. I honestly don't know if he'll be charged or not, but I think there is a decent chance he will be. Even viewing this very cynically - he's just some schmuck that the deplorables will be happy to throw to the dogs to make them happy.

And either way, a charity gets $100. Booked.

Be wary of wagers here.

I made what I thought was a friendly $50 wager here recently. My first one ever. It’s a been lovely experience.

I have been called every name imaginable. They changed the name of a thread in order to mock me. And then locked me out. Create a poll. Trying to get me permabanned. Threatening anybody who sides with me permabanned. It’s been unbelievable.

All over a $50 wager made here.

You have be warned. They aren’t easy here. .

I literally laid out why I don't think all riots are equivalent. You seem intent on blurring any distinction, at least along the lines I laid out.

Yes, and I understand that the senate is going to move straight to a vote on PA, but that the house will have a debate. At least that's what I understood.

And there goes Nevada. Nice!

If I was a Dem in a safe district, I would object to some of these and troll the Republicans.

"I object based on a hunch."

"I object because aliens from Rigel VII voted in this election."

"I object and I have the signature of a member and senator but it's not in writing."

Well, I won't be changing any terms after the bet has been made, and honestly don't care much whether I win or lose because a charity is getting money. I don't even have a lot of pride on the line, since I'm not that strongly convinced I have the right side (but I lean that way). Really, I mostly care about the result because I'd like to see that wiener charged. So I have no worries, but thanks for your concern.

This was all known in advance too. I told this is the day.

I saw one of the protestors pepper spray an officer and nothing happened. The officer backed off.

If this was any other group, they would be killed. These guys went on a private tour dressed up in Halloween costumes.

Are they going to arrest these people?

Trump will pardon them. He really will. They know it.
Could it have been done intentionally? Knowing it would make the trump supporters look terrible..

From what I watched, Cory Booker, Tammy Duckworth, and Romney won the night. And dare I say Mitch earned some grudging respect from me.

Graham just sucks so bad, and was pathetic seeing him try to crack lame jokes a few hours after a woman died in the building. Cruz, Hawley, Gaetz are flat out despicable.

Well, that's cool, I guess. I think that's looney toons, but you do you. I don't think the Tulsa Massacre is equivalent to Black Lives Matter. You're welcome to quote a single lefty who thinks like you do. I think you will, at most, come up with people condoning particular riots for particular reasons and not all of them.

Also Tank Man in Tiananmen Square. I heard he was a Antifa agitator.

It's a fool's day orgy of flunky patriots, of dear leader worshipers ... who couldn't have picked a more immoral and ridiculous leader to surrender to. The vast majority of Trump's army aren't even serious or a real threat. They are just fools acting out.

That seems really, really dumb, but maybe I don't understand you correctly since I didn't follow every word of the dispute.

Our prime minister decides to make himself dictator for life. I join millions of Canadians who march on parliament, and a riot ensues.

Walmart has a Black Friday sale. Many of us line up overnight, and it turns out that the $1,000 TVs they said would be $99 for the first 100 people run out after only 10 people. A riot ensues.

Are these riots equivalent? And are we talking morally equivalent, or just in the eyes of the law?

The difference between you and I is, I condem both, and call for the rule of law, irrelevant of the reasons people are rioting, you don't.

Mobbing and rioting is bad at any time in a civilized society. You don't hold that same position. I don't buy your contempt.

You do not care about mobs and rioting, stop pretending you do. You only care about the reasons they do it.
This misses what's going on here. Rioting is bad, it directly harms many people and has longterm negative social effects. However, my concern with the insurrection in the Capitol today is not primarily about the people directly harmed or any potential longterm harm to local DC residents, but with the impact it has on our political system as a whole. That is a separate thing from people's views on street violence in Portland or something. MrWookie, regardless of his views on the summer riots, can certainly still consistently condemn insurrection.

Also, this is rightwing BS about the leftist standard being that rioting is okay. That's just a way to excuse rightwing rioting as not that bad.

When you really think about it, the mob that murdered Emmitt Till and the non-violent crowd that got gassed and clubbed to clear them out for Trump's Bible photo op were equally evil.

Wookie, are we booked? Asking for Children's Hospital in Vancouver. And for your charity.

P.S. I'm assuming US $.
