Read Hillary Clinton's Concession Speech for the 2016 Election

Come on, man. Google is not that hard to use.

Revealed? Where? That double standard argument is only political rhetoric so far; especially proven with the claim before an investigation is complete. Present otherwise. Just saying it’s happening, along with many right media talking-heads daily, because it supports political leanings, doesn’t make it so.

Blah blah blah. Left leaning talking heads regurgitated, blah blah blah.

 

[Recording Engineer]

How so? Make your case. Alternatively, it’s just being reasonable.

I missed that. As it was not at the javitz center and the night it happened.

BLM was not called to action by a sitting president. BLM did not threaten the peaceful transfer of power that is a keystone of the American system of govt. Apples to kumquats.

no but they were called to action by sitting members of congress and former presidents. But if you wish to compare self guided tours of the capitol to burning down cities be my guest. I can think of dozens of times members of the party on the left called people to action against the trump administration. Remember people like maxine waters who said if you see them in public to make a scene and get in their faces to tell them they are not welcome here? What about people who have threatened the scotus justices trump nominated? remember when senetor rand paul was attacked?

All in all they have found nothing that he could face a criminal charge for no matter how they make it up.

Maybe the gold standard is having at least what resembles bipartisan agreement surrounding certain issues. If it were as simple as no criminal charges coming to fruition, it would seem that you'd have to say that logic should apply to other things.
like...
republican saying no election fraud is ok
republican saying no Trump impeachment or other crimes ending without punishment not ok...
etc

remember when senetor rand paul was attacked?

He was attacked by a neighbor over a lawn dispute. If you mean the time he was confronted by protesters over Brianna Taylor no physical harm was done. The word snowflake comes to mind.

And yet it (or duckduckgo, really, because that's what I actually used) worked remarkably well for finding out that pucho was....misinformed.

I was thinking more about the time he was playing baseball and was shot at.

Steve Scalise. And I didn't even have to look that one up.

EDIT: I looked it up. Rand Paul was present but not shot at.

He said he was standing by the batting cage when Scalise was shot.
"There was a rapid succession of shots, you know, five or 10 shots," Paul said. "In the field, I see Representative Scalise is shot..."

I googed parrot playing tic tac toe .... the video that pops up is on a girl's channel that has a bunch of pole dancing too.... neat...

I walked into a job a couple of months ago and the tenant had one in her living room... pretty cool...

Any reasonable person would count being there as being shot at. No different then being out and about and a mass shooting happens.

 

[Recording Engineer]

Then why only mention Rand Paul, if that’s what you were thinking of?

There were Democrats there too. The narrative isn’t that they were shot at.

Ah, yes, "the narrative" must be served. The truth, however, is that a Bernie supporter shot a Republican congressman at a baseball game. No Democrats were injured.

 

[hodad]

If you read Rand Paul's own words, it doesn't really sound like he was that close. It sounds like it was over by the time he knew what was happening. You're really stretching the definition of "being shot at," which I typically wouldn't be all that concerned with, except today it seems to have fallen to me to correct conservatives on matters of fact and be ignored or outright dismissed. On a certain level I'm thrilled that you and John have "risen" to the occasion so predictably, illustrating a common problem with conservatives--a great many of them are largely incapable of acknowledging mistakes or renouncing beliefs that are demonstrably in error.

I mean, really, what good is the truth if it doesn't support what one wishes to believe?

(***I don't wish to dismiss the possibility that Rand Paul suffered trauma due to his proximity to this shooting, but sorry--he wasn't shot at.)

Say what you will about Wayne, but he really gave a masterclass is the best way to interact with the Brewery. Once a week, drop an unsubstantiated turd into each thread, then just ignore all the replies.

Would you prefer they were?

 

[AnalogPackrat]

Use the search, Luke. Here's a diagram of the shooting. If Rand Paul was in the batting cage which is along the first base line beyond the infield, the initial shots were in that general direction. As people tried to funnel out of the one exit gate the shooter moved around that way while exchanging fire with police. Anyone near the exit gate or batting cage was very near the shooting and generally downrange from the aggressor.
