Tribal politics.

And of course it wasn't an insurrection - if it was it was a FAILED insurrection.

Was it a protest.

Hang Pence seems like a chant that was definitely trying to take the VP out.

Lol. Anyone paying attention watched the summer of love folks cause violence, looting, burning it down, etc…, while causing $1B+ in damages for the last year +.
You do realize I’ve explicitly assigned blame, was personally impacted by, and condemned the riots that occurred on May 31st, 2020 in Santa Monica, CA…right?

The perps were a faction comprised of the Democratic Party/BLM/Antifa.

I think you Trumpers should stick to debating Democrats. It’s more your speed. Someone with principles (an anarchist) may be too much for you.

Except the riots occurred across the country, not just Santa Monica.

Lol. We are debating Dems. Excellent attempt at deflection, though.

Uh, ok.

All the acts of violence by that faction were wrong.

Also wrong was when you tried to kill Pence and Pelosi.

So, now what?

In other words, the violence occurred across the country by the summer of love folks.

Love the accusations. Proof to me or anyone else trying to kill Pence and Pelosi?

Yes all the riots in 2020 were absolutely wrong and did little to help promote the cause of equality or whatever.

January 6th was wrong. It was an attack on the government process of certifying the election.
It was scary when the crowd openly called for the hanging of Pence.....

Both Republican and Democrat politicians spoke of the fear they had that day.

It was bad...January 6th was bad....and yes so were the protests of the summer.

Because despite what Goldwater, Reagan or any of the Fox News grifters would have you believe, the true conscience of a conservative is $$$. Anything threatening the accumulation of this is to be discarded no matter the lack of intellectual integrity.

It will eventually come out.
Because Trump told folks to “go home” and they left peacefully by curfew at 6pm.
He waited all damned day. If he were 'aghast' he would have done something to stop it immediately

He watched it all in a soiré at the white house. Trump was enthralled by the events and had to be convinced to make a statement and after repeated attempts by Meadows and Ivanka he finally relented AT 4:20 PM!.

Even then he reiterated the lie about the stolen election and said "We love you… you're very special" to his criminal rioters.

What a jackass.

Uh yeah. Democrats have been trying to kill me, personally, for years. They were responsible for the riots last summer.

But bro, you need to hit the books on mens rea and actus rea when it comes to 1-6. You’ve been trying to kill folks too. Not me, personally, but that doesn’t mean I let it slide.

Is it too much to ask for people not to violate the rights of others?
