President Trump?

Nope.

Kamala Harris earlier this year regarding BLM. Those “peaceful protests” caused $2B in damage.

Please spare us your hypocritical outrage.
Have you ever wonder why the right-wing didn't called for her removal from office? Under normal circumstance, it'd have been protocol.

The only reason the Republicans were silence is because the Trump administration were committing worse crimes than her.

The exclamation mark after the question as well as the separate period suggests rushed judgment.

Put things in perspective:

These people sacked offices used to fund private equity firms that increase the demand for child slave labor at Cobalt mines in the Congo.

Who is the real villain?

They literally think that people are going to watch the Mike Pence say he's going to be loyal to the constitution, the President and his son tell the sheep to march to the Capitol and show strength while Mike Pence is doing his job, pictures of known right wing nutjobs entering the Capitol...

But somehow this is all ANTIFA's doing.

The right-wing has gotten away with it for too long.

Letting this go will only embolden the criminals.

In fact, THIS happened because they thought they could get away with it.... again.

Yes, they did. CHAZ was an overthrow of the government. Burning police buildings was an insurrection against the government. Kamala clearly made known she was on their side, as did many other government officials.

In any event, if one has cheated, to convince others that they are not cheating now, it is not enough to say, "No, I am not," or to say, "Show me the evidence.". If one has cheated before, they really need to go out of their way to show, to demonstrate that they are not cheating.

But.....I suppose when one is holding all the cards, it is not necessary to have people believe in one, to trust one.
You realize that you cannot prove a negative. You can only prove affirmatives. That is logic 101.

Again, do you have any footage of him inciting the riot, or calling for people to storm the Capitol ?
I'm not defending what happened in any way, just keep hearing how he was the one that caused this. There were thousands of people there, of them what, 500 nutcases decided to do something extremely stupid. Come on, use some common sense, we all know you hate the guy but stating he started this is laughable at most and does nothing for your credibility.

I was wondering when one of the Trumpies would say it was just a big panty raid.

Amazing what short memories they have? Or just plain willful ignorance.
