When did Kamala or Joe tell her supporters to lynch her deputy and storm the capitol?

Seems to be a key fact that is ignored in this "both sides lied to gaslight voters" argument.

I don't recall Trump telling his mob to hang Mike Pence on their balsa-wood and glue gallows.

What Trump's behavior, or that of his supporters in 2021 has to do with Joe Biden and Harris speaking in bad faith in 2024 I have no idea.

You know as well as anybody that he incited a mob against Mike Pence. That might be one reason why he has a new VP who previously compared him to Hitler.

Why do you think they had to be acting in bad faith when the Hitler admiring fascist incited a mob against members of congress because he lost an election and couldn't bear to admit it?

Since when did the passage of time mean this wasn't a relevant fact?

History teachers never talk about the Beer Hall Putsch or the Reichstag fire, they just start in 1939, when it all began.

Meanwhile as reported last week:

Today, President Biden’s 235th life-tenured federal judicial nominee was confirmed. This marks the largest number of confirmations in a single term since the Carter administration.

*snip*

During his four years in office, President Biden has transformed the federal bench and appointed over a quarter of all active judges, and helped to ensure that the Judiciary looks like the communities it serves.

Biden and Senate Democrats placed particular focus on adding women, minorities and public defenders to the judicial rank. About two-thirds of Biden’s appointees are women and a solid majority of appointees are people of color.

President Joe Biden has secured the 235th judicial confirmation of his presidency. That's an accomplishment that exceeds his predecessor’s total by one.

They are highly qualified and both professionally and demographically diverse. Another notable aspect of this record is that the vast majority—more than 80 percent—of these confirmations have been bipartisan.

Of course all this effort has been a complete waste of time as Donald Trump the fascist existential threat to democracy will just have all federal judges that owe their position to Democrat presidents arrested on January 21st.

Trump press conference is more of another infomercial than an actual one.

But you do.

No. I really don’t.

Not sure if you actually believe what you wrote here, but you are flat wrong. Trumps refusal to condemn the chants was essentially a green light. Also, I wouldn't want to take my chances on those 'balsa-wood and glue gallows'. They look pretty substantial to me.

No I don’t.

Don't feed the troll. In another era he would have been a carnival geek biting chicken heads off and fed on scraps.

Why do you think they had to be acting in bad faith

Because if they were operating in good faith and reasonably before the election, they wouldn't behave in the manner they have been since November 6th would they? This isn't complicated.

Did you glance at the links I just posted about Biden's record 235 Federal judicial appointments? If you clicked on any of them and read them you'd be struck by this fact - the Democrats are expecting these judges to influence matters for decades.

How could they have this expectation if Trump and the GOP are going to overthrow the state and arrest anyone that does not fall down and adore Apricot Adolf?
