    I never said, hinted, or implied that questioning is anywhere near cruel and unusual. However, locking someone up with no bail for months on a trespassing or some such charge certainly gets pretty close.

    An extremely self serving generation for the most part, they won't go easy or quietly because if always the other guy's fault.

    It has not been shown or proven that there was no election theft. In any case one cannot prove a negative. Secondly AFAIK no court ruled or said that there was no election theft. All but one court pretty much hid behind the three monkey defense or the Sgt. Schultz excuse and didn't say anything.

    First of all there was no insurgency or insurrection to overthrow our constitutional republic and no one I know would ever support such a thing. And the present regime does have totalitarian instincts in dealing with its domestic opposition that the courts and the filibuster have been able to restrain in some cases.

    Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, Trump.

    That's all I got.

    So does releasing someone who has attacked a police officer after a slap on the wrist

    I have been following this - the ones who remain locked up represent a clear and ongoing danger

    Looked pretty clear to me and the majority of your fellow Americans seem to agree

    You shouldn't just guess why they are being held without bail.

    These individuals are suspected of roles in the serious assault on our form of government.

    Also, it's not just the charge that determines bail. Some could have other issues affecting bail - such as being flight risks, being a danger, possibility of affects on evidence by collusion with other perpetrators, etc.

    The violent overthrow of our election process for our highest office and the murder of VP Pence and (according to the stated objective of some) Speaker of the House Pelosi is EXACTLY an overthrow of our democracy.

    The problem with your view of our government is that you think that in a democracy, everyone should follow YOUR ideas, and if they don't, then you want to claim America must be heading for evil.

    Sorry. You aren't even one in a hundred million.

    You have to decide which side you are on.

    Are you on the side of democracy?

    Or, are you on the side of something that is very much NOT democracy.

    I've asked before. And, I do want an answer.

    Trump can get back into the White House on a tour guide.

    I already stated that I am on the side of preserving our constitutional Republic.

    I mean at some point those radicals on the right were gonna say well that seems to be the only thing that works so let's try it too. The burning and looting of local, state and federal offices with PEOPLE INSIDE. The occupying of private and public land in cities and declaring themselves insurrectionist and their own governments. Remember when the left tried to shutdown the Kavanaugh hearings "obstructing and official proceeding" and how the MSM reported that?

    What did "the left" actually attempt and accomplish? Did the MSM miss the part where they fought with and overpowered police, broke and entered the building, invaded the chambers, riffled through desks and made a giant mess, stole laptops, nameplates and other things, etc? Did the MSM fail to report an actual insurrection attempt by extremists on that occasion?

    You missed it for two years? Yes the MSM missed reporting everything they engaged in and even standing in front of burning buildings pronounced it "mostly peaceful".

    The Orange Stain has always been an idiot. It seems like they rather like it. I don't know what the criteria is. Must not be too much.

    You're putting online memes and disinformation into the MSM's mouth.

    To Trump's blind worshippers, Trump can do no wrong...
    Whenever Trump Scams them and tells them to "Go to Hell", they just donate more money and thank him for the trip.
    It is what it is.

    There was no election fraud. Every single case was thrown out of Court. Hell, Judges even asked if the suits brought forth were fraud suits and every single one of Trumps lawyers said no your honor.

    You see Rob, lying to a Judge in their court house comes with consequences. Lying to you and other rightists and trumpists is meaningless because y'all fall for these lies and throw away your money to them because they played ya.

    It's a shame to see a post from rightists and trumpists such as yourself defending these traitors.

    Trump has convinced you all to hate your Country while he wraps himself in an American flag pretending to love it.

    He hit the marks jackpot with the right.

    Sad.

    I would kinda "get" it if he was subtle or stealth but he says it aloud and they gloss over it or rationalize it and point fingers elsewhere. I would kill and/or die for my children and I don't even just blindly accept EVERYTHING they say. He's not even likable. They voted for a predator with a hooker to be in our White House. Michelle is accomplished in her own right and a tough act to follow but they didn't need to dumpster dive. /smdh

    It's a shame you can't deal with reality. How long did you think the leftist radicals would be allowed to engage in their insurrections without rightist radicals from seeing the success?

    Deal with the reality instead of trying to attack me for my honesty.

    They don't even care when Trump uses their campaign donations to buy personal possessions.
