Actually, I made a factual statement versus your feelings on when because Trump should follow your timeline…and they left by curfew. If they wanted them gone sooner they should’ve made curfew earlier.

Yet you clearly are saying he is endorsing? So are you being honest or just gas lighting, because you got a new screen name?

You’re obviously unwilling to see that your feelings aren’t factual or show proof. You’ve gone from saying because Trump condoned violence without any proof to trying to use a timeline to try to reinforce your allegations.

I’ll certainly support him as a qualified leader/candidate. I also certainly want to see proof to your statements.

You don't even agree with what you are saying:

Sure you do, it means you said stupid crap, got booted, and then lied (providing another email address) to get back into CD. It's pretty simple.

In other words, you have no proof that will hold up in court, only proof via speculation?

This is to your post 319 above.

Why did you not quote the ENTIRE post of 318? Would you have to be honest if you answered or would you be embarrassed or both?

Post 318 is below and the only thing you quoted was the bold portion, why?

Careful, you're going to pull a muscle stretching like that.

You've already lost this debate and now are twisted up like a pretzel trying to back pedal. Nothing Trump said, did, didn't say, or didn't do, caused the riots. I think this really comes down to the fact that, like all liberals, you can't seem to accept the notion of personal responsibility. Only those that participated in the riot are responsible. It's no more difficult than that. Are you an adult? When's the last time someone forced you to do something illegal? Even better, when was the last time you did something illegal because of a political speech?

You continue to provide no proof to your claims, only feelings.
You mean when they were breaking windows an assaulting guards it was no big deal to wait a few hours to call off the rioters from his rally, really. Just cutting off the vote certification was some minor incident.
