    lol at conservatives trying to both sides an issue when they know they have no leg to stand on…just stop

    when Democrats storm the Capitol, claim fraud with damn near every election they lose, and a majority of the party still thinks a presidential election was stolen years later, lemme know…

    Democrats get mad, riot all over the country for a year with way more deaths than Ashley Babbit, and claim that conservatives are the violent group. You folks need to calm down and quit resorting to violence when you get upset.

    Who is committing most of the acts of politically motivated terrorism when they don’t get their way? Yeah, I thought so…

    Who is writing all these alt right manifestos?

    gimme a break…

    Democrats did not riot all over the country. The FBI hasn't designated left-wing terror groups one of the biggest threats to the country

    What an odd way to describe a coup and insurrection. Out of line? Are you seriously dismissing the magnitude of that day to that?

    What is there left to question about 2020? There might have been legitimate questions about it at one point, but those have all been answered.

    Anyone still questioning 2020 is preposterous in their questioning. Democrats never claimed that the votes were fraudulent. Not even Hillary at her worst

    PA will not flip.

    GA/NV/AZ will flip.

    NH is a coin flip.

    CO/WA are long shots to flip but possible.

    You folks need to refresh your memory on the summer of love. Over 20 deaths. Those "protests" were politically motivated. Yes, babbits death was also politically motivated and everyone condemns that day. I bet the FBI doesnt classify the firebombing of the anti-abortion clinic as politically motivated either.

    Everyone doesn't condemn that day. People like you, Trump, and his right wing supporters think it was justified. The incitement, propaganda and lies continue. It's this type of crap that people like Putin, Hitler, and the rest use to stir up support from the people they brainwash and spread lies to stir up hate against opponents to stay in power or do the unthinkable.

    Make no mistake, the greatest physical danger comes from the far right. You should worry more about that, but I know it's tough for you to see who the biggest threats are.

    White supremacists comprise “the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism portfolio overall” and “have been responsible for the most lethal attacks over the last decade

    https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/s894/BILLS-116s894is.xml

    Most violent far-right perpetrators were motivated by white supremacist or anti-government sentiments, and they committed most of the fatal attacks in 2021. Of the 30 fatalities in 2021, 28 resulted from far-right terrorist attacks.

    White supremacists killed 13 people, a violent misogynist killed 8, anti-government extremists killed 4, and an anti-vaccination perpetrator killed 3.

    https://www.csis.org/analysis/pushed-extremes-domestic-terrorism-amid-polarization-and-protest

    Earlier this year an intelligence report warned that racially-motivated extremists posed the most lethal domestic terrorism threat. It said the menace was now more serious than potential attacks from overseas,

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/08/post-911-domestic-terror

    I doubt you'll hear this coming from DeSantis, Fox News, Trump, Cruz, MTG, Matt Gaetz, or anyone else in the GOP. They don't want to lose their hate group and radical right supporters.

    you’re embarrassing yourself now…just stop

    right wing domestic terrorism has killed far more than 20 people…the Buffalo mass shooter killed 10 in just 1 afternoon

    and I won’t even mention all the terroristic plots that were stopped before they could be carried out like the guy who was plotting to bomb a children’s hospital

    u have zero leg to stand on, and these weak attempts to both sides things is fooling no one

    and no, not everyone condemns January 6th…stop lying

    The protests that turned into riots following the killing of George Floyd had nothing to do with an election. Also many “Democrats” decried the violence. In fact I and my Democrat voting neighbors went out and protected our neighborhood from people rioting and destroying property.

    Also what was less reported nationally was that in Minneapolis that summer after every night of damage and destruction thousands of people came out and helped to clean up the damage.

    Yet another false dichotomy.

    I remember the deaths and riots of 2020. It wasn't encouraged by Democrats who spoke against violence at the time.

    Ashli Babbit wasn't the only death related to right wing violence

    The suspected white supremacist who plotted to bomb a hospital facing the coronavirus crisis was in touch with a then-active U.S. Army soldier who wanted to launch his own attack on a major American news network and discussed targeting a Democratic presidential candidate, according to an FBI alert summarizing the case.

    On Tuesday, as 36-year-old Timothy Wilson was on the verge of trying to detonate a car bomb at a Kansas City-area medical center, agents from the FBI’s field office in Missouri attempted to arrest him. But shots were fired, fatally wounding Wilson, according to the FBI.

    Ahead of Tuesday’s incident, Wilson “espoused white supremacist ideology” and “made a threat that if any agent attempted to [search his property] they should ‘bring a lot of body bags,” said the FBI alert, distributed to state and local law enforcement agencies in the region on Wednesday.

    Didn’t we have terrorists plot to kidnap a governor, and wasn’t there recently some moron who attempted to kill FBI agents in another politically motivated attempt at a killing spree?

    LOL. Yeah, those damn immigrants raising our power bills and breaking our grid. Those damn immigrants posing as Americans and gunning down school children. Those damn immigrants making our loose gun laws and manufacturing and selling those assault rifles. It's on them! It's because of them people can't afford healthcare in Texas too!

    PA will be close but the while Oz is trending still appears to be unable to make up the difference with Fetterman. Last night’s debate likely doesn’t change anything. Neither candidate was able to substantially do better then the other.

    NV is likely to flip. Laxalt appears able to hold onto the lead.

    Az will not flip. Kelly continues to maintain a lead and Masters is underperforming even with Kari Lake over performing.

    CO won’t flip nor will WA.

    NH is closer than expected but won’t flip.

    NC is a long shot to flip but much more likely than CO, WA or AZ.

    GA is likely to go to a run off which will benefit Walker but if I had to put money on it my guess is Warnock holds on.

    Also to add there is a good chance that OH will flip. I think Vance likely will win this but Ryan is either trailing very narrowly or tied. This one might also come down to the wire.
    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/24/ohi...nce-tim-ryan-even-in-race-new-polls-show.html
    J.D. Vance, Tim Ryan in dead heat in Ohio U.S. Senate race with two weeks until the election, new polls show
    • Republican J.D. Vance and Democrat Tim Ryan are running neck and neck in the Ohio Senate race, according to new polls from Spectrum News/Siena College and Marist.
    • The race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman is one of a handful that will determine which party controls the Senate.
    • Both polls find women prefer Ryan and men prefer Vance. The gender divide suggests that abortion may be a factor in the tight race.
