Exactly TheRealNorth Jan 2022 #23
I agree with you DENVERPOPS Jan 2022 #61
Also, he is the AG TimeToGo Jan 2022 #65
Agreed DENVERPOPS Jan 2022 #73
He's probably getting a phone call from the White House right about now FakeNoose Jan 2022 #7
Vice President Harris should have written his speech. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #9
True that! BComplex Jan 2022 #12
I know, I wanted her for Attorney General too FakeNoose Jan 2022 #14

No, "VP Harris should have been appointed AG," that would've been a demotion from being a senator. PunkinPi Jan 2022 #79
I disagree, He said, We don't care if the threat is made by a liberal or a conservative, all threats ShazamIam Jan 2022 #10
He said verbatim what I quoted in my post. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #21
he essentially equated BLM protests with violent storming of Capitol. Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #27
He didn't say that, that is how you heard it. I don't like it but understand why he had to say it. ShazamIam Jan 2022 #48
the DOJ has to appear unbiased... agingdem Jan 2022 #11
I initially cringed (exploded), but then realized if anyone has to thread that needle... Pacifist Patriot Jan 2022 #13
Agreed, and that's a good way of putting it. nt crickets Jan 2022 #26
not one second of it... agingdem Jan 2022 #31
He could have said nothing about political ideology BaronChocula Jan 2022 #24
He had to address it since conservatives and their media have publicly claimed ShazamIam Jan 2022 #32
I agree. Pacifist Patriot Jan 2022 #42
It's not his job to placate weasely pro-violence white nationalists. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #45
That is how you see it, you wanted a more divisive partisan kind of statement. I think he made it ShazamIam Jan 2022 #47
I think the DOJ is focused on Federal & Congressional law and regulations, the Supreme Court makes ShazamIam Jan 2022 #78
Yup. Individual responsibility, rather than group excuses. lindysalsagal Jan 2022 #56
Ugh budkin Jan 2022 #15
That was the one clunker in the speech. crickets Jan 2022 #16

He might as well have gone full out with that comparison BaronChocula Jan 2022 #33

Posting RT's Hartmann to claim political dishonesty?! Hortensis Jan 2022 #35

But Hartmann isn't. Neither are the Russians, the Republican Hortensis Jan 2022 #41
You are equating Thom with all those other groups???? Ferrets are Cool Jan 2022 #62
I'm grouping him with all those who helped sabotage Democrats Hortensis Jan 2022 #67
And you know what happens now? durablend Jan 2022 #40
