they tried to steal the election by storming the US Capitol.
You mean reverse the outcome of the one that was stolen ?

It didn't work out too well for those involved, unlike their BLM counterparts.

That's not what I meant at all :-) It was the attempted steal / subversion / insurrection / coup by the former president and his co-conspirators that failed. I believe many more BLM rioters were arrested vs. Capitol insurrectionists, but maybe the numbers will equalize as the FBI analyzes all the social media posts by the Capitol rioters. (Really?

If that was a coup attempt, it was most definitely the worst attempt in history. :lol:

That's probably because there had been many more BLM riots, and a much higher total damage to people and property caused during said riots. :wink:

Yes, I agree it was a poorly organized attempt at a coup. But an attempt nonetheless. By idiots with Facebook video rolling.

Just comparing the number of arrests in DC in one day - "On June 1 alone, more than five times the number of people were arrested than on the day the Capitol was stormed, with 289 people booked." "a spattering of smashed windows and vandalized businesses" on that day vs. a violent attempt to disrupt the Congressional election certification with damage to the Capitol, beating of police, and 5 deaths.

Would June 1st be the day when the "mostly peaceful protestors" set fire to St. John's church? Oh, no, that was the day before. :lol:

Maybe the discrepancy in the number of arrests can suggest that the "peaceful protests" were not as peaceful, and the "violent attempt" was not as violent as the mainstream media (and Wikipedia's editors who diligently copy the reports of said media) are telling you?

Nah, it's gotta be because the DC cops are siding with the "terrorists and insurrectionists". I mean, we do have that video of that guy showing them where to go.

How many businesses were vandalized by the "QAnon insurrectionists" anyways during the day they "stormed capitol". Many? None? In any case we all know that vandalizing businesses is a legitimate way to protest against, well, whatever; stealing Nancy Pelosi's whatchamacallit, though - that's a big no-no, and a true threat to democracy.

Yes June 1 was the day Trump had the peaceful protesters gassed and beaten so he could peacably walk down to the church to hold up the upside-down bible.

And BTW, I have not heard any Democrats, citizens nor politicians, support the rioting, damage and injury done during the BLM protests.

However, there has been a good deal of justification lately for the rioting, damage and injury (and death and threat of death) done in the name - literally - of President Trump. The numbers 2, 3 and 4 in line to the presidency were in the Capitol building as people were attacking the building and threatening them with physical harm. IMO that is not equivalent to a street riot, but I can understand the arguments on that point either way.

The "kool aid" is media programming and is quite effective as we can witness on these threads.

It is taboo for Democrats to even acknowledge these things happen so they ignore it, unless/until it happens in their own neighborhoods.

Conservatives always exude the importance of context when it helps them, as it does here as well. They obviously wanted the maps so they could tour the tunnels during their visit. :)

Oh yeah, the democratic process of stuffing the ballot boxes with fraudulent mail in ballots.
Yes, and here is the proof!
That's all there is?

I guess... It's really hard for an individual voter to use the mail-in system to commit any significant fraud. At best you get a second fraudulent vote, as discussed in those articles.

To get a mass injection of fraudulent ballots you have to "break" the counting points. You have to somehow get a whole lot of ballots "cleared" without proper verification of validity, and at that point it becomes much harder (in some cases probably impossible) to track down the source of each ballot and whether it is fraudulent or not.

Since, as far as I understand, mail-in ballots are validated and counted en masse in a select few locations, it definitely makes them more susceptible to organized fraud. That's unlike in-person voting, where each group of voters is tied to a specific polling location, and votes are separately counted and the totals are signed off by the poll watchers at each polling point.

So, yeah, regardless of the fact whether substantial voter fraud has taken place, and whether it was enough to directly affect the swing states, the American voting system seems to be badly broken in a variety of ways. Not just the mail-in stuff, but also the fact that it's not so hard to register as a voter in multiple states, etc.

I think it all boils down to the fact that there exist no proper federal-level registries and IDs for citizens - it's all at the state level. The only federal ID I know of is the SSN, and that is considered secret and is never used for anything other than social security stuff.

Not just the voting, but many things are broken because of that it seems. Like marriage registration - you can totally marry 50 different people in 50 different states, as I was once told.

Running a country that's also a collection of partially independent states is certainly challenging.

Yes but we like it that way. And since all state and federal election officials and those with responsibility to investigate, prevent and/or indict election fraud have agreed that the certifications were appropriate and the fraudulent votes were rare, we can move on.

SSNs used to be the DL # in many states. The Military REQUIRED us to have it imprinted or written on all checks we use to pay for anything at exchanges, commissaries, fuel stations, etc. This was all before the massive ID theft issues arose and the use of paying by checks fell way off.

And, SSNs are issued to non-residents for income tax purposes.

A Nationwide citizen ID is desperately needed here.

I just got my Covid vaccine so Bill Gates now knows where I am at all times. I've been told I will get my Windows 10 updates neurologically now. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Throwing a national ID# into a federal database for voting purposes sounds great. Except maybe not.

Only if you got both doses. Because the first one only contains the 5G antenna. The RF chip is in the second one. :mrgreen:

It sounds normal to anyone who lives in a single-state country. Not just for voting.

Here - the national ID # is used for everything and no one keeps it secret. It's used for everything so much, that you can't actually do anything if you just find out someone's ID number. You need a whole bunch of other supporting stuff (in some cases - the physical ID document - that one you should keep safe). Identity theft cases are apparently not as common here.

As long as it is not a microshaft database. Gates has turned into a real bozo over the years. Just remember microsoft sucks and win blows.

Yeah I know dr_st doesn't like me using that phase, but he can always delete or edit the post.

I don't like these phrases used in technical discussions, because they are, well, just unprofessional. But this thread is basically just back and forth trolling, so why not? :lol:

I like Bill Gates. I think he's a good guy.
