WTF - Gov Polis vetoed a bipartisan bill to require social media companies to ban accounts that engage in illegal activities and the legislature couldn't find the 2/3rds votes to overturn the veto. Defund the police, legalize crimes, not requiring bonds, etc, etc, etc. When/why did the left become pro-crime? And then the loonie libs wonder why they're referred to as deranged.

Effort to override Colorado governor's veto fails in the House

After success in the Senate, sponsors of the bill did not have the votes in the House to override the governor's veto.

It's all pandering. Make criminals think you are on their side and that you care about them and the stupid ones will vote for them. Keep things in disarray and you can move money around more easily as well.

Looks like someone got all triggered and worked up, lol.

Says the guy posting meaningless memes. Memes he claimed at one time to not use to make his point.

It's really loonie, letting these people get away with internet crime.
Those crazy liberals. What are they thinking?!?!

Jan 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for running an underground online marketplace where drug dealers and others conducted more than $200 million in illicit trade using bitcoin.
The Republican president made good on a campaign pledge to free Ulbricht, 40, who was arrested in 2013 and sentenced in 2015 in what became a landmark U.S. prosecution launched only a few years after the emergence of the popular cryptocurrency.

Share your example, after you share your proof of my "lying", after you share your proof that at least FIVE dictionaries have the definitions of "verbatim" wrong.

Wow. Demented POTUS censors free speech by threatening mega-corporation.
I just can't understand why the loonie left is comparing him to a certain Nazi leader.
Very odd.

Listen liar, every time you claim I said something or I think something you are lying.

Proof is you saying this:

"Stick to things like telling us Erykah Badu coined the word "woke" in the 1930's.
Oh. Wait, bad idea."

I never said that. I never mentioned the 1930's, that was you. Not only that, I never said she "coined" the phrase. You are just that stupid. Liar.

I'm not sure why they're trying to create chaos, but clearly they want chaos.

Keep the people distracted with chaos and you won't notice the one behind you with his hand picking your pockets.

You've posted about this before and I agree, absolutely insanity. The question becomes why is acceptable when it's Dems that "encourage" criminality? I don't recall anybody on the left criticizing the Dems for legalizing crime, not punishing crime, etc. Is it safe to say that you're as opposed to Gov Polis's veto as you are to Trump's pardon?

Listen liar, every time you claim I said something or I think something you are lying.

Yet you cannot prove the claim. Makes YOU the liar, then.

Proof is you saying this:
"Stick to things like telling us Erykah Badu coined the word "woke" in the 1930's.
Oh. Wait, bad idea."
I never said that. I never mentioned the 1930's, that was you. Not only that, I never said she "coined" the phrase. You are just that stupid. Liar.

You said Erykah Badu coined the term in her song. Your wrods were: "It was originally a lyric in Erykah Badu's song "Master Teacher". The lyrics are "I stay woke" It worked its way through African American music into the hands of politicians."

I know the language is difficult, but the term "originally" means "from or in the beginning; at first." and "in a novel and inventive way".
If the lyric originated with Badu, and then worked its way into the hands of politicians, then Erykah would HAVE to have done so in the 30's. Maybe she co-wrote a song with Ledbetter?

"Black American folk singer-songwriter Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Lead Belly, used the phrase "stay woke" as part of a spoken afterword to a 1938 recording of his song "Scottsboro Boys", which tells the story of nine black teenagers and young men falsely accused of raping two white women in Alabama in 1931."

The question should be why it's loonie and unacceptable if the left does it, but acceptable and applauded when the right does it.

Commit insurrection, get pardoned and paid for your time. Set a vehicle dealership on fire, go to jail for 20 years.
The difference between the two criminals: one voted for Trump.

I support lawfulness as opposed to lawlessness.
I also support keeping the playing field level. So we are forced to decide: Does each party operate under a completely different set of rules, or do they both operate under the same set of rules?

Which one should it be?

No liar. We aren't talking about the first time it was ever said. This is a political thread and my post is in reference as such. Huddie's song was about ****, Erykah's is a political reference.

Go do something useful like flush your brain down a toilet.

Not a native to America so his ways of showing his heart goes out to you is not typical of how an American might do it. But you keep on truckin' looking for anything to use against people. You racist.
