I don't believe I've ever posted a laughing emoji in response to a directly answered question.  Rarely get the opportunity since the right so rarely direvcly answers questions.  Cryptic, evasive responses trigger actual laughter at the pathos...

Sure

How about they did nothing to preempt it, left the standard Capitol Police contingent swinging in the breeze to deal with 100K protesters, and let it happen while the National Guard was held back a couple blocks away until 8 PM when it was all over in order to exploit it for political purposes?  How about those people?  Not a one of them responsible for allowing the Capitol to be undefended has been questioned or held to account.  But Joe Public taking selfies in the Rotunda gets a year for trespassing.

How does his eye roll use differ from your constant use of the laughing emoji? 
 

It’s a rhetorical question. 

I've gotten the eye roll when I post something I'm quite sure he agrees with.

It's knee jerk. Poster = A; Response = B (eye roll)

There's a thread here about "why are you here?" I was nice and said sometimes I learn something. People have different experiences and knowledge, and believe it or not, sometimes I do learn something.

More often, though, it's like a window into people who are just impervious to logic or reason. People who keep posting the same things even when I've pointed out how they are objectively wrong. Example: I've now seen the "Vanguard and Black Rock own a huge percentage of Apple/Microsoft/Netflix/Whatever." I've pointed out that this "ownership" represents the mutual funds/ETFs that individual investors and things like pension funds own. Vanguard/Black Rock do not own them in their own portfolios.

Instead of saying, "thanks for the clarification" or at a minimum simply not repeating that misunderstanding, they continue on as if nothing has changed.

So I'm not here to change anyone's mind. But I have learned a lot about how some people are so dug in to their beliefs, even if those are based on misinformation, that those beliefs will never change. 

That's real insight ...

Even if this was true, no one forced them to illegally trespass.  you seem to be saying the traitors were entrapped?  C'mon....

Thanks for stepping up and explaining redhawk’s over-reliance on the laughing emoji. I thought it was just a matter of personal insecurities. 
 

In both situations it’s lame.

exactly.   This hate for mutual funds is bizarre.  And he's on the side calling others commies or socialists.  These people are certifiable and should be ignored except for entertainment value.

Please tell me how you are absolutely certain based on vast knowledge, that trump couldn't fire the Fed chair.  It's sure to illicit a laugher.  Oh, and then call anyone who disagrees a fool...x for the Wharton prof with a JD who specializes in SCOTUS and works for Brookings...

Quack MD.

 

Doors were opened in some cases from the inside at the Capitol on J6. People streamed in, single file right past Capitol police officers and continued between the velvet ropes.

 

We have a guy blaring from a megaphone at the top of scaffolding exhorting people to first "move forward" and then "we're in, cmon, we need your help, let's fill up the Capitol!"

 

Strangely enough the FBI has no interest in this character whatsoever. I wonder why?

 

Don't tell us...Qanon!

 

Ray Epps himself used the defense that he thought the Capitol was open on J6 as to why he was encouraging people to go INTO the Capitol that day.

 

Curious why he told hundreds of others that WE need to go into the Capitol, that he thought was open, but then he never did?

 

If the I thought the Capitol was open defense is good enough for Epps, why not for others? 

 

Officers standing by letting people in might give one the impression that the Capitol was indeed open, no?

So you're ok with the Ashlii Babbit shooting then?  Because that area was locked and people still tried pushing through and broke the window that she then climbed through all while being ordered not to.  

 

I honestly don't know what the policies are involving the Capitol being open to the public day to day, but I'd assume that normally during the certification of an election, it is closed.  I may be wrong.  But even if people were let in, the actions by some of the people after that caused problems.  if I have a party, and have people inside, and 3 of the 15 people invited start causing problems and breaking things in my house, everyone is out.  And those that then refuse are now there illegally, whether they came in invited or not.

 

And I'm not agreeing if people were "let it" or not.  I have no idea as I wasn't there.  Just showing that even if they were "let in", that doesn't give them free reign, or establish that they continued to be peaceful once inside.

Why the eyeroll at the posting of the poll?  after you asked for it?  You're a clown, as cali guy would say were he here.

You should wear an eye roll from him like a trophy.  He's a banal incel.  Every single post is the same.  You ever see Debbie Downer on snl?  That's him except male/incel.

True. 
Believe it or not, I have posted likes and agrees for lots of posts coming from people ostensibly on the other side of the political spectrum. Read the post before responding!

What's worse, an illegal trespass at the southern border or a citizen entering their countries capital?

 

The hypocrisy from the left on these things is remarkable.

I do also, on occasion.  Unfortunately, the occasion rarely arises from the other side.  But I rarely get likes from them...and that's just fine by me.

Yes, because you're with the party of law and order.  Except when you aren't.  Did you notice any liberals crying about Hunter being likely to get 10 years?  Any "but what about Kushner?"

So fun seeing leftists triggered by emoticon reactions to posts

 

Here's a few more for them...

 

  

 

For the sane, you do realize that this will be their next angle to complain to mods, right?

 

But he eyerolls all my content! 

 

Additionally we have useful idiots getting triggered by:

 

Ignoring them. (The King and Finding Qanon)

 

Tagging them and the notifications it generates (The King et al.)

Asking you to share actual facts and sources to support your claim about something is an inability to discuss fact?  

 

Every time I have posted facts Trumper responses have been to jump topics, ignore, or insult.

It's at least somewhat encouraging that you would not cast a vote for Trump since his lie was the inspiration for the violence.

You blame they, when they were Trump?

Is this the flat-out lie that was pushed that Pelosi held back protection when she had zero power to do so?
