No, its sedition.

Yes, it is.

Sedition is inciting revolt against a government, or monarch.

Monarchs can call anything sedition. Governments can make broad, or narrow, rulings.

But it doesn't change the definition or the attempt to destroy the country and the laws they swore an oath to defend.

As goofball as it is, its also very serious. There's no "equivalence" to this, no "yeah, but what about.." argument. This is an attempt to destroy the country at a time when we have a pandemic to deal with.

There's also no excuse that is valid. It isn't a joke, it isn't some goofball punching himself in the nuts to make the libtards cry. This is serious.

Buddahaid · 12-12-20, 01:13 AM

It's not clear to me what you are calling sedition here. Please explain.

ET2SN · 12-12-20, 01:50 AM

-A candidate refusing to accept the results of an election because he lost.

-That candidate's party ignoring the law and filing foolish law suits in an attempt to start a dictatorship.

Is been in the news, you should have heard about it.

So does this SCOTUS judgement bring an early end to the pantomime season?

The author illustrates it quite well, the rest is illustrated by Trump himself and his demagogic agitation.

Only in so far as a court judgement can heal a patient with a serious personality disorder.

Trump was a Democrat in the 2000s, so can we still blame the Democrats for the ruling made by the Supreme Court justices appointed by Trump?

Justices who would make decisions based on the Constitution rather than political bias or social justice 'feelings'.

The person who should be the most concerned with those kinds of rulings is not Trump but a guy named Joe.

Biden's inauguration is still in jeopardy

Looks like the "plan" is working then.

5 Breathtaking Numbers Reveal The Unsettling Cost Of Stimulus

Rob Berger Advisor Contributor

Stimulus spending sent both the FY 2020 deficit and the national debt to all time highs. Here are the numbers that show the breathtaking scope of the cost of the stimulus packages to date and the likely cost of the next round of stimulus.

The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown gas on the fire. As Congress negotiates a stimulus deal, then doesn't negotiate, then holds press conferences, then leaves town, then comes back, then tweets, then has a meltdown on CNN, it's worth taking stock of just how much we've spent on Covid-19 relief. We should also take stock of what the folks in Washington are proposing we spend in what would be the fifth stimulus package. After all, our great, great, great grandchildren will have to pay for this someday.

Yes, I believe this is the end, Monday the Electoral College will elect Biden, time to move on. I just hope they don't stick me in a re-education camp, I want to get some free college.

I dunno, ask Donald Trump, the president the Democrats have been hostile to from the day he took office, with RUSSIA DID IT! to Impeach Now!

Quote:

Too many Democrats have gone from being anti-American— that is to say, hostile to the country in which they live — to being anti-Reality — that is to say, hostile to any semblance of sanity and antagonistic to the idea that the people should be accountable for their actions, responsible for their existence, and expected to make their way through life without the wise management from the Democratic party.

.

Fixed that for you.
