Homeland Security Committee chair calls Ted Cruz a "Domestic Terrorist."

[bmw]

This, from House Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson:

First of all, these folks [Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley], in my opinion, can be classified as domestic terrorists because of the actions they participated in on Wednesday. Now under normal circumstances international terrorists are out on no-fly lists. These are domestic terrorists—same thing. A terrorist is a terrorist, no matter who you are.

So this is how much the rhetoric has been ratcheted up. You now have someone in a high position of power referring to his political opponents as "domestic terrorists" and threatening to revoke their travel privileges.

I stand by my prediction of a few weeks ago that we as a country are in for a rough 2 years. The Democrats aren't interested in "unity." They're interested instead in obliterating their political opponents. This is the kind of rhetoric rarely used against world leaders from OTHER countries, let alone leaders in our own country.

You don't seem to understand that Jan 6 was a terrorist act against the USA. That is how the Government, and an overwhelming majority of the elected leaders see it. Those who don't see it that way will be marginalized or terminated. In other countries, people who do what these fringe people did are executed. Here we have a rule of law, and unlike these deplorables, the Justice Department and FBI will follow the law to see that justice is served. Just wait until the GOP regroups and tears apart the RNC's current leadership.

Just add this to another way your clan of freaks have lost. Coming back again and again to demonstrate that the terrorists lost doesn't change the reality that the Government isn't going to be overthrown.

What was Ted Cruz's specific role in these "terrorist attacks" ?

What was Ted Cruz's specific role in these "terrorist attacks" ?

Here's some insight about it. At least he probably won't be removed with the 14th Amendment Section 3, but there are calls for this to happen. The Republicans are now cleaning house of the Trump supporters. It's not personal, it's politics, like when Merrick Garland got fucked out of the SCOUTS by the Republicans. It is going to be this way for a while. The GOP is quite efficient at cleaning up their messes.

And his Home State paper's perspective.

Both links are the same. I read the article. I must have missed the part where Cruz engaged in domestic terrorism. Perhaps you could quote the part of his floor speech that reached the level of domestic terrorism.

I can explain to you, but I can't Understand it for you.

I made a simple Graph to estimate how things look today, can you see who has the smallest piece of pie?

And I pray at night that Trump starts his own political party...

it's politics, like when Merrick Garland got fucked out of the SCOUTS by the Republicans...

AND...the truth finally comes out. This IS about nothing more than politics! It is revenge.

Why can't your side just move on? You will soon be in control of everything. Why must revenge occur before you take power?

[TC Talks]

I will if you will. Actually, I don't really care that much about Garland, I was using it as an example of how your team is now out and will be torn apart by the GOP. McConnell is really pissed and knows how to make problems go away.

I will ask you again since you can't seem to directly answer the question. Accusations of domestic terrorism are DAMN SERIOUS allegations. Do you not think it is that serious? Oh, that's right, as you said, it is just political revenge. Anyways, when you make an accusation, you better have evidence to back it up. You've pointed to a floor speech given by Ted Cruz. WHAT SPECIFICALLY did Cruz say that rises to the level of domestic terrorism? You'd be in a heap of trouble as a lawyer in a court room if you couldn't directly answer such a question.

I DID. I can't help it you didn't more closely read my responses to various "stolen election" threads in here in the weeks after the election. I said, and I quote, "At the end of the day, I believe Joe Biden legitimately won the election, if maybe by very slightly smaller margins than will be certified." Not sure what else you want out of me. Unless you're playing a game of guilt by association just like you are with Ted Cruz.

[TC Talks]

I would lend to a lawyer to answer the question. Do you think the Senate would decide on removing Cruz soley on facts? You've never been in a jury. There isn't a smoking gun like there is with Trump admitting he was responsible for the insurrection to McCarthy. I believe Ted is a terrorist. Life is gray, especially in the political arena. You've certainly discounted Trumps lawlessness without any problems. It can be frustrating when people are finally held accountable for sure.

[bmw]

So you can't even explain to me how you reached your conclusion that Cruz is a terrorist.

Got it.

And btw - while I haven't served on a jury, I have helped present a case in a 3-day federal jury trial in the Eastern District federal court.

[TC Talks]

I can explain, I posted a link of his speech, that explains it clearly. you just reject my or any explanation because you don't want to hear the truth. Again, I can explain it, I can not understand it for you.

Cruz fired up the fascist crowd, and he needs to go.

Laughable.
