"It is not violating any integrity ( an oxymoron) of the bureaucracy."

Some things are sacred to American history.

Those who have no sense of sanctity for American exceptionalism would see nothing but a creaky old building that should be torn asunder.

Sorry, I'm not in that camp.

Couldn't care less about the adjacent office building.

George Washington did not lay their cornerstones.

I have no need to read past what you thoughtfully and intentionally wrote.

If your 2020 signup date is because you may have been band in the past, well that is your history.

That damn building is the People’s House and don’t you forget it. Those criminals inside who plan crimes against the people allow all kinds of leftists to storm into the chamber and disrupt all the time. They all aren’t peaceful either, but nobody murders them.

Who the hell do you think you are mr jeepers?

This was rabble, led by Antifa agitators and infitrators.

I agree 100%. It's almost like it was pre-planned?

You are exaggerating, entering a building does not mean they want it torn down.

At worst, they are trespassers who entered a gov office without authorisation.

American exceptionalism is built from its unique constitution, not some building in DC.

Oh F off Dumbo. I have no need to prove anything to you or to validate your stoopid ideas.

Dox yourself first, idiot.

Is that your incisive detective work? Scrutinizing signup dates to generate your thought bubbles?

Useless.

"some building in DC."

Lol. I see your point. It's just a pile of cement. Who needs it?

So entering a building without authorisation leads to who needs it?

nice liberal tactic of making valid exaggerations and twisting the argument.

"Who the hell do you think you are mr jeepers?"

I think I'm a patriot with some kind of reverence for the physical and symbolic representations of American history.

I think I'm against Antifa communists leading an assault on those symbols through their infiltration of other patriots. It's no different than the obsession with tearing down statues (destruction and desecration of history = Year Zero).

I think I support any and every activity that's not merely impotent frustration.

I only wonder what Washington, Jefferson, and Adams would advise.

Your tactic of twisting arguments to make exaggerated arguments is exactly what liberals excel it. Go STFU.

He soiled the integrity of the United States Government.
.................................................
Nonsense! The integrity of the United States Government has been continuously soiled since the ‘08 electoion by lawless, treasonous politicians and bureaucrats who collectively comprise what for several years now has been rightly referred to as the Deep State.

“conservatives” should do everything possible to adhere to the law.
.................................................
Depends on the law. Everyone has an obligation to adhere to government enacted laws that are not contrary to natural rights, i.e., inalienable rights not dependent on those laws. But no one has a duty to adhere to laws that violate inalienable rights.

Now we know why you were previously banned.

Is your "Dox yourself first" some sort of admission that you were in the American Airlines Center?

So why was it ok for Democrats to invade and physically disrupt the Kavanaugh hearings, and those folks were praised, and yet these people are called traitors?
...............................................
Because obviously there’s a double standard at play!

Give him a break. He would have been bitching at Jesus for impugning the sacred honor of the sudducees.

I get it when he said no one will listen, none of our institutions will listen.

I remember at the beginning of the Obama administration, they held Town Halls in every state to sell the idea of Obamacare. Of course they said, “We want to hear from you,” but that was such a load. Here in Maryland, Senator Benjamin Cardin came out on stage and started with that spiel, and then he said [inexact quote] “But first I want to introduce a young mother whose child has a severe illness...” and the rest of the sentence hadn’t left his mouth when the entire room started groaning and hissing—here in blue blue Baltimore-Washington area.

They had us write down questlons on 3x5 cards, but of course none of them were answered; it was such a con job.

Our voice to protest government was the voting box. Now that is gone. Dominion machines, mail in ballots, Harvesting, etc. has nullified our voice

I think we partly disagree about the facts.

Your larger concern is that this make Trump supporters look bad in front of the media. Did the Antifa/BLM riots --often publicly supported by Dem politicians-- make the Dems look bad?

The media painted the very polite Tea Party supporters as terrorists and racists and likened Bush and Romney to Hitler. Do you think they would ever treat our side fairly?

I refuse to be limited by what my enemies think of me, and I don't think being polite is going to work anymore, and there is probably no institution more emblematic of the corruption and despotism flowing out of DC than the Congress and the phony certification that took place yesterday.

Lol. Never banned. Completely idiotic statement Inspector Clouseau.

Good thing you haven't yet posed a single arguable thought in this thread, given your limited mental equipment.
