Something has occurred to me since Barr's sedition comments.

He says that when we protest the government, it is as if we are attempting to overthrow our government. Well, isn’t the very same thing they are attempting to do? They pack the courts to benefit themselves, they make up laws as they go and disrespect the laws that are already there, they have a useful idiot acting as an illegitimate president, they aren’t showing the willingness to compromise in any way, they feel that they are more privileged than everyone else. These are how dictatorships start, by overthrowing the laws of the lands and making the laws their own. Nothing will stop them, but our votes will! We have to stand up to these ignorant fools and make them obsolete by the powers of the Constitution. I will vote against their ideas of privileged righteousness and have the dignity and discipline to be free! So Mr. Barr, you say “sedition” is a protest? Well, I guess voting is a type of sedition and I hope we all overthrow your attempts to steal our country.

this way when they try to steal the election, they can jail the people who are protesting it. At least, that's what "people are saying".

The full weight of blind justice must fall upon their heads. It is, imo, the ability of the rich and powerful to avoid justice that has brought us to this nexus in history.

They are ok with armed protesters because the armed protesters side with their interests. The list is a mile long.

How many of these Repucks are Russian Agents? Think of all the important bills that the Repucks have turned down! Also the Mueller Report alone should have impeached the fraud in the W.H.! Nancy's not happy & she's got some things up her sleeve...
