    Because affidavits are not sworn testimony in a court of law.

    That's why he's facing a trial. Maybe two or three.

    I still didn't vote for Biden and I don't support his gun control policy.

    But you're posing a theory that is not based on evidence. It's merely possible. Possibilities are always endless. We need evidence to distinguish the plausible from the possible. It's possible that aliens are the cause of all our troubles, but without evidence for aliens among us, it's implausible.

    Maybe you can tell us when you think a law enforcement agency should investigate something that didn't happen.

    a republican was caught voting for dead people, and not a word from the right

    the dead people voting are always caught as each side looks for them

    This makes sense and I'm not surprised. Your livelihood (paycheck) is now dependent on you following the "official" line. The Brotherhood will protect you as long as you believe as they believe. Those holding contrary opinions will not be promoted and will not be protected.
    It is the same where ever one works in a bureaucratic system, public or private. It is also known as tribalism.

    Laughable attempt there is, in fact, more evidence for election tampering by Democrats in Philadelphia than there ever was for Russian collusion.

    what it was for was illegal, the fact that Trump failed at it doesn't make it less so

    Well I am sure if he does not get Impeached for this latest someone will decide they want justice and throw the legal book at him

    There are a lot of legal “leftists” out there outraged by the fact he has gotten away with so much for so long

    The Sandy Hook hoax idea is only believed by a very small group of people. Every republican I know believes it happened and has no reason to believe otherwise, so I'm wondering why you are tying that to Trump? I've never heard of Trump saying that was a hoax? Your post is very confusing. You never actually say that you now believe in democratic policies, just that you don't believe in crazy conspiracy theories, that that majority of us do not either.

    If you don't denounce the people who do believe Sandy Hook was a hoax, but instead endorse them for public office, you need to be held accountable for your complicity.

    You're inventing something in order to create a stance.

    Republicans believe Sandy Hook happened. Trump has never said it was a hoax, which is why I'm confused to the OP's post.

    You have shown that you have the guts and honesty to admit that what you believed in was incorrect. That is admirable.

    You brought up Sandy Hook and that hits home with me. I am 18 minutes drive down the highway from Sandy Hook even staying sot of within the speed limit.

    You don't do this..........https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/...e-taylor-greene-flaunts-great-call-with-trump

    ..........without bearing responsibility for trying to boost MTG's standing...........the lunatic who did this..............

    Marjorie Taylor Greene penned conspiracy theory that a laser beam from space started deadly 2018 California wildfire

    "In November 2018, California was hit with the worst wildfire in the state’s history. At the time, future Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote a bizarre Facebook post that echoed QAnon conspiracy theorists and falsely claimed that the real and hidden culprit behind the disaster was a laser from space triggered by some nefarious group of people.

    Greene’s post, which hasn’t previously been reported, is just the latest example to be unearthed of her embracing conspiracy theories about tragedies during her time as a right-wing commentator. In addition to being a QAnon supporter, Greene has pushed conspiracy theories about 9/11, the Parkland and Sandy Hook school shootings, the Las Vegas shooting, and the murder of Democratic staffer Seth Rich, among others."

    Just hold it a minute. If you met someone on the street who made this batshyte crazy claim you would walk the other way. You'd keep your children away from someone like that. REPUBLICANS MADE HER A CONGRESSWOMAN.

    Actually, a lot of my co-workers believe in some form of conspiracy theory or another, so there that.
