The major flaw in JSO’s logic is ASSuming that demographics will ALWAYS vote the way they have in the recent past. But, like any other analysis he does, he doesn’t consider the underlying issues that may CHANGE that pattern. There were a couple counties on the border that went red in 2020 for the first time EVER.

That is a faulty premise. Trump wasn't impeached b/c he lost.

It doesn’t say he was impeached BECAUSE he lost. It says he was impeached AND he lost. Unless he didn’t.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I read it differently. But I can see your perspective. It's still a faulty premise. Trump wasn't impeached b/c he was exposing some lie. His words and actions from before the election right up until Jan 6 were inspiring others to be violent. Then his supporters, hearing that they have got to do something, attacked the Capital, ran around shouting the were gonna murder the VPOTUS and tried to stop the certification process in an attempt to overturn election results. It was a failed coup.
And before you deflect - the Dems in the summer of 2020 are equally guilty re: riots / looting

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I wasn't aware the seat of federal power had been moved to Portland.
What the BLM/ANtifa crowd did last summer was wrong. 100%. No question about it. But to say it is like storming the halls of Congress, threatening to murder Pence and stop certifying the election and sealing Trumps loss is just a false equivalency.
And saying one group is worse b/c they were more violent than another violent group is just ridiculous. We have the right to peacefully assemble. Anyone going beyond that is 100% in the wrong, regardless of their politics.

You said “a branch of the govt”. That was a federal courthouse they attacked. Last I looked, the judicial is a branch of the govt.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Don't be obtuse - you know what I was talking about.
To your point - that was still wrong. Why didn't the US Congress and Trump go after them? Feckless punks on both sides, if you ask me.

difference being the ones in Portland were trying to destroy a nation. The ones in DC were trying to save one.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
The dead horse of we've already debated this. There were similarities and there were differences. The January 6 riots were worse in some ways and the BLM/AnTiFa riots were worse in others. Arguing that one was definitively worse than the other is dishonest.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I agree with BDK, they are attacking the government. It might be at a local level but it is still the government.
For the most part, the crimes were local crimes and the justice system in Portland/Multnomah County is giving them preferential treatment like the courts used to give whites preferential treatment. It's outraged, faux-progressive privilege.
