The Insurrection Thread

[Tim Steelersfan]

Lot's of insurrection this year. One side there has been one insurrection. The other sees insurrection happening nearly daily in riot-ridden cesspool cities across the country.

Many (ahem) are confused about what insurrection actually is: Insurrection defined: "The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government."

This includes storming the US Capitol, attacking Federal courthouses, attacking state buildings and capitols.

Example of the Day:

‘You Are Traitors’: BLM Protesters Storm Into State Capitol To Protest Law Protecting Motorists From Rioters

Roughly two dozen people interrupted Oklahoma lawmakers at the state Capitol by chanting “Black lives matter” in protest of several bills.

Insurrection! BLM Rioters Storm Into Oklahoma State Capitol to Oppose Bill Protecting Motorists Who Hit Rioters While Fleeing

Roughly two dozen people interrupted Oklahoma lawmakers at the state’s Capitol by chanting “black lives matter” in protest laws that would protect motorists fleeing riots and another that would ban transgender people from girls’ sports.



Protesters entered the fifth floor and chanted “We will use our voices to stand against corruption, to fight hate, to defend black and brown lives,” Fox News reported.

Some protesters were asked to leave the building following loud chanting, including “no justice no peace,” KOCO reported.

Following several minutes, the session resumed.

The protesters were demonstrating against Republican-backed bills. One bill, which was signed into law Wednesday, protects a driver who “unintentionally causes injury or death” while fleeing a riot, according to KFOR.


“You can protest all you want, I encourage that, but once you start throwing things at people’s cars, and trying to break their windows and pull them out of the car, it’s no longer a protest, that’s what you call a riot,” State Sen. Rob Standridge said, according to KFOR.

Another bill signed into law, House Bill 1643, made it a crime to dox law enforcement officials online.

“You are traitors, insurrectionists, seditionists,” one woman shouted ( ) at the lawmakers, according to Fox News.

The “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which would prohibit transgender girls from competing in female sports, passed the House by a 73-19 vote.

Battle lines are being drawn.....

I'm afraid these "insurrections" are going to look like Childs play in the near future..
Man I hope I'm being overly paranoid and pessimistic about the future of our great nation....

God Bless America....more now than ever.

We cant let it come to that Dj...

This country needs a real hero or two to step up and reel us all back in...
Need a mix of a Lincoln, Luther-King, Kennedy, and Reagan type leaders to show us the way.

If we can just get to the 2022 elections, maybe, just maybe, we can vote out some of these worthless politicians, and elect leaders on both sides of the aisle that can reverse this disastrous course the county is on..

But I am skeptical....unfortunately

All we have left now is hope...and that's not a good place to be.

You will never see another fair and honest election. You have seen your last GOP president, as well.

I pray for this EVERY day.
The problem is most Americans value their “team” ( Republican / Democrat ) than they value their own values and common sense.
BOTH sides NEVER point a finger at those from their own team, only the opposing side. And then make illogical excuses defending their side while turning a blind eye.
Until we as a collective start voting for a person, and not yet letter behind their name, we’ll be stuck in this endless cycle.
What’s the definition of insanity?

I'm going to disagree somewhat. When Trump ran for President some of the Reps became never trumpers. They voted for Hillary and openly spoke against everything he did. The dems never go against their own. Reps do it all the time. Which is why you can have a dem governor wearing a KKK robe, a dem governor killing off old people, and several dem governors going against their own orders on COVID restrictions still being in office.

Oh yeah I’m gonna call bullshit on this. I am a small government conservative that believes in self rule and personal liberty. I am only a Republican because the Republican Party supports those things at least nominally. The issue is there are way too many RINOs in party leadership. Those people need to be purged the **** out of any leader ship role in the party so we can put real Republicans with spines in place to fight the anti-American socialist agenda the Democrats are pushing.

Well, I consider myself an American Human and don’t pledge allegiance to a party. I have voted for all kinds of letters. I vote for a candidate’s character first and foremost, because even if a candidate believes the complete opposite of me, if they’ll sit down and explain themselves and likewise hear me out, that’s all I need. Our elected crooks, on both sides, are not trying to serve the people. They’re not trying to find solutions. They’re not trying to give EVERYONE the same opportunities. If you think the Republicans are the lesser of the two evils, you’re still playing the unwinable game.

Hilarious.

Congratulations you are compromising your rights I am property away.

what you just said is you are more than happy to ignore the policy and record of a candidate if you like them. Moreover Democrats always pretend to be centrists to get elected and once elected they always go left. And don’t tell me that the party trying to cut taxes, shrink government and stay within the limits of the constitution is JuSt As BaD As ThE DeMoCrAts.

Don't kid yourself, there are big-government and globalist Republicans too. Starting with the Bush family and it works it's way down from there with people like Mitch McConnell.

Bush was clearly a fraud, which is more evident by his actions after his presidency. McConnell is worthless. Another poster child for term limits.

Yeah, because no politician ever lied about their stance on an issue, or their view on policy. They’ve also never “changed” their mind after a hefty sum from a lobbyist.

Corruption is the first pillar of modern USA politicians. It's the life cycle of a nation. We are at the back side of the curve. Historical solutions are mostly very unfortunate.

Move out of the cities.

This is a rather lofty holier than thou speech. Congratulations on speaking yourself onto a perch.

The reality is the party lines are drawn. Some see it some don't.

So, educated man of leisure, you say you vote for a candidate of character first...because....if they'll sit down and explain themselves and likewise hear me out, that's all you need. That's a big word salad.

Which Disney politicians fit that mold for you? Who have you cast your vote for that you believe embody the word salad above?

(ps....pols on both sides are crooks, we agree)

Sorry, I am not trying to sound holier than thou.
I did not mean it to come across that way and apologize for it sounding that way.
I only meant to say, genuinely and not condescendingly, that we have to hold those accountable whether they’re on the “opposition” or on “our team”. We have to use the same measuring stick equally across the board. We can’t judge those who think differently than us unless we’re using the same standards inward. I’ve grown weary of the double standards and lack of awareness when it’s something that paints a bad light on a team we’ve chosen to align with rather than speaking up. I’m not going to follow a party blindly and support EVERYTHING they believe just because I think they’re the lesser of two evils and/or they mostly got it right.
That’s all I was trying to say. I wasn’t pointing a finger at anyone in particular here or trying to preach at anyone. Just trying to collectively wake everyone up to not just go through the motions.

Not sure why you quoted me in this. I never said Bush wasn't. My entire post was about never Trumpers. Republicans are replete with globalists' and big government lovers. My point was that you rarely find division in the Dem party. But it happens all the time in the Rep. party.

I get that, I was just adding on to your point. You are exactly right.

Very good response, I enjoyed reading that thank you. I get you now. Sorry for my own "tone" in return.

Tone and intent are sometimes hard to feel, as is sarcasm/joking.
No worries. I appreciate the dialogue.
