And there's the problem. Leaders need to be concise and very specific. They have no clue who hears what is said or how it is heard.

Think back to when Obama said if you like your insurance you can keep it. Obamacare didn't do away with people's insurance, the insurance companies cancelled the policy. But to this day most of us think he lied.

When Trump says stuff like fight to keep your country, who knows how some take that statement?

I agree with George W. Bush.

Who cares? We all still have an operating brain and know right from wrong. If Trump said to march peacefully so right there one should know that he meant "fight" peacefully. Those who got out of hand were going to do so anyway so put the blame where it belongs on them and not Trump!

So the blame falls on Ashli Babbitt?

What a stupid thing to say and an insult to the victims of 9/11 and their families.





It really boggles the mind how 100 nights of violent protests across many US cities where people had their lives and their livelihoods cut down, where Billions of dollars in damages to public and private property were done, where Federal buildings and Police Precincts were attacked and set on fire, where several blocks of a major US city was taken over by a militant bunch of real insurrectionalists that declared the seized property as an autonomous zone.... can all be easily forgotten but an afternoon where a mob of angry fools overran the Capital? That will forever be etched in stone as the darkest day in American History.

That is just dumb.



There is no comparing Jan6th to 9/11.

I don't see the comparison being made here. a bit of a reach and anyone who would compare the 9/11 terrorist to the 1/6 protestors is an imbecil, period! I certainly no not approve of the 1/6 protestors but to align them with 9/11 terrorist is a joke!

Hello. Do you even know who George Bush is? Lordy talking about stepping in it. Do yourself a favor and go back to the thread title and read what George Bush said vs regurgitating some trained seal rhetoric.

Yep the RINO comments fit right in.

Domestic terrorism vs foreign terrorism is still terrorism, and no, January 6th wasn't some big love fest protest. Who ever came up with that spin narrative needs to be fired.

I'm not really seeing similarities here.

Did we invade 2 other nations, spend trillions of dollars and kill a couple million people (mostly civilians) as a result of J6, only to give up all the military gains 2 decades later?
