If I break the law I would expect them to come after me. That’s how law and order works.
Before trump and today’s republicans attacking your own Capitol used to only occur in third world authoritarian nations.

 
Uh oh!

Never forget that we moved heaven and earth to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Not because he flew an airplane into the World Trade Center on 9/11, but because he incited his followers to do it for him.

Now the world is waiting for us to hold Donald J. Trump accountable. -

It is interesting that Matt agrees with you. Do you think democrats are different than republicans on law and order? They/we are no different. I think we all defend our politics even when we should admit fault. Maybe it is the anger that motivates us to do this. In my opinion it is a displaced sense of right and wrong. I am pretty good at defending my faults. How about you? This has been going on in us humans since the beginning of time so we are all the same no matter what politics we defend. What this is all about is whether Democracy works when a Country becomes so divided by politics. Both sides are at fault for creating this division. The Democratic Party is now our only hope for Democracy but I am seeing too many flaws by defending people we should not be defending. I really believe Biden is a Good President but if I can not see his flaws then something is wrong with my perspective. If our perspective becomes extreme and is motivated by anger it will not end well for our happiness. Happiness is what we all want. Support from family and friends is what we all want. Life is short. Be happy. Practice moderation. Defend less. Listen more. Talk less. Practice what you preach :) Me got a long ways to go and a short time to get there :)

You do realize philosophers are the first to die in a revolution?
