The Counter Points thoughts on this issue.
Video shows the full conversation and a bunch of background/history.
This country is truly descending into a big pile of manure. Such primitive thinking. I saw Trump doing the whole fistfighting thing against Biden, too.
Yeah, we've all seen it. You're real manly men.

We just have to get it out of our system is all. That, and finish the Civil War.
(I kid, I kid! Er, kinda.)

Well my preference would be on the winning side.
Oh I see, a centrist, poor simple bastards
Actually, an opportunist. Learn your words.
That gop senator is little bitch Markwayne Mullin.
Here he is cowering during the "peaceful tour" of Jan 6.
Whatever you do, please don't share that with him on Twitter or email him with it.
Lets be fair, if he was under a desk because of a major earthquake, would you use that against him as well to tarnish his reputation?
Its not like the Congress' rule book for an armed insurrection breaking in has a section called "duck and cover" in it. You figure this shit out as you go, in real time. And taking cover is a reasonable thing to do.
I think the guy acts like a meathead, I'm no fan of his, but to use this picture is something of a cheap shot on your part.
If a guy says, "earthquakes are no big deal. I don't see what the fuss is about." and then goes to duck and cover it's worth pointing out their foolishness. It's not about his actions on Jan 6,which were completely understandable. It's about his actions on all the other days.

Not disagreeing with you overall, but the image associated with the comment I replied to was a very specific moment in time.
Bernie once again demonstrating that he's the only adult in a room full of children. It's got to be frustrating as hell to be surrounded by these morons constantly.
Once again, people worship the ground Sanders walks on and shit on all the other people in the government working to accomplish things.
The gop are increasingly realizing they can destroy the entire government by doing what they are doing. But there are plenty of Democrats who are still putting in the work and trying to do what they can. And all this "King Bernie" talk does is devalue the work of others. Some of which were actually inspired by Sanders.
This has got to be the highest ratio I've ever seen in a single Lemmy comment.
Hilary rigged the DNC.
Democrats have been ignoring their constituents to pursue their own personal enrichment since.
The people are still waiting for the leader they elected.
Wow, that was pitiful. It's embarrassing that some district elected this bully of a man-child.
A whole STATE, even. Granted, it's one of the ones with the population of one of the more populous COUNTIES and more heads of cattle than humans, but it still counts as an actual state, unfortunately.
