OK. So then both Bondi and Trump have no understanding of the words "domestic terrorism" when they use them.
Just more of that political hyperbole that really means nothing.
Cool.
I guess the defendants will just go free, then?

As far as I know, Bondi and Trump have used "domestic terrorism" in conjunction with "act of violence."

Were they attacking people, or objects?

Are you suggesting it's only violence if people are attacked? Dictionaries disagree. If you want to call it vandalism, go ahead, downplay their actions all you want.

In Colorado, first-degree arson using explosives is considered a "crime of violence."

The Oxford dictionary suggests damage to a thing can be violence.

Downplay? By contrasting it with the attempted coup of January 6th, in which people got pardoned, and Trump wants to PAY them for?


I guess I'm just suggesting an even playing field with similar rules, and similar consequences for actions.
Since these Tesla vandals will just get pardoned and paid for doing what they are doing, why bother with prosecution and conviction?

When have I ever suggested J6 protesters shouldn't have been prosecuted? I came out against blanket pardons. If you have problem with a position Thx or somebody else posted, don't take it up with me. So you're on board with prosecuting firebombers?

He refuses to understand anyone's positions.
I 100% know Jan 6th happened. I fully believe people who committed actual crimes that day should have gone to jail. What I don't believe is that "Orange Man made them do it".

Orange Man didn't make the do it. He definitely laid the groundwork for it happen, but "fight like hell" isn't "kick in the doors of Congress." Nevertheless, I'm curious if the people so intent on J6 rioters being punished feel the same about the firebombers? In the case of 2 of the dealerships that were shot up, a computer monitor got shot; luckily nobody was working late those nights.

Keep in mind what is driving EDS. They're pissed off that he's attempting to eliminate wasteful gov't spending. They also claim he's failing miserably and only saving fractions of what DOGE claims. So if he's only touched a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the budget, then why TF are the EDSer's so pissed off? Do think their own narratives through to their logical conclusions?

The press should be held accountable as well for feeding these mentally handicapped people. They for sure are mentally handicapped to think it is ok to handle a situation by going out and firebombing or shooting up a dealership. Acts like this should show how mentally unstable so many people are. I am just curious why I see people on the left acting out like this so much more than people on the right. When you think about it the majority of news media is left biased. Think about that for a bit.

I was gonna make a list of what the current dems/libs stand for, but then this guy dropped this video. One big problem for the left is they've been slowly taking over institutions for years (ie teaching/public schools & colleges/universities). When those institutions just keep ******* in unbelievable amounts of money and resources (ie time) and deliver terrible results it makes it too easy to know where to point the finger.

If you like Asmongold, you'll probably like this guy - they land about the same place on the political scale (aka reasonably intelligent and politically unaligned).
