Cat bit your tongue, all you law 'n order types??
Anyone who minimizes what happened on January 6th truly has a case of the "twisties"

And what are your thoughts on the blm/antifa destruction in 2020?
Those officers were wearing cameras I presume. Let's see the video of all the drama they faced. Hand picked officers whose jobs depend on you know who. Let's talk the the officers on vid who escorted the protesters in and the others who stepped aside for these people. Let's see what they have to say. Let's ask the P Hat from Illinois if he shed a tear for David Dorn. Maybe we can find out why Steve Sund and Paul Irving were forced to resign. Let's subpoena them and find out what happened.
You mean those who defend rioters invading the Capitol?

No. I think he refers to those libs who bailed out rioters last summer

As opposed to those right wingers who defend the rioters at the Capitol?
Both are wing nutties, defending the indefensible.
Given what else is happening… this will barely be an historical footnote.
A few loonies let in by careless security and who were never close to achieving anything beyond colorful selfies.
It’s your country. Not a “no biggie” to the rest of the world.
Watch the video. All of it.

A "few loonies" you say?...check out the link...but, be that as it may, let's let our minds wander
just a bit and imagine what would have happened on Jan. 6th, had the Capital and D.C. police not been able to hold back those loonies from laying hands on any and all House and Senate members present that day...
Given the extreme violence displayed by the loonies on innumerable videos against those Capital and D.C. police officers, what do you think they would have done to Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, other Democrats, or even their staff members who might have tried to intervene?...would they have sat down for a round table discussion of grievances?...or might some of them have followed through on their oft repeated threats to injure or kill those they considered "traitors"?
Since they had, for some odd reason, quite a few zip ties with them, what would the scene have looked like when they gained physical control over those congress members?...would they just use the occasion for "selfies" and let them go about their business?...would everyone simply disperse and say they made their point...hop on airplanes and treasure those memories?...or would there be a violent confrontation with the Capital as the battlefield?
Another question...do you think that President Trump would, after seeing what transpired, immediately mobilize the National Guard and go after those loonies...cordon off the entire Capital grounds and arrest every last one of them?...even if lethal force were required?...or would he continue to cheer on the loonies as he did in his pre-riot speech...demand that the election results needed to be thrown out...and declare Martial Law, with him as the sole source of governance?...it certainly wouldn't be out of character for an off-the-charts narcissist who was facing total ruin once he left office.
Maybe it's just me, but I suspect that this sort of scenario is what so many people are concerned about when they talk about an attack on our democracy.
Calling this a "footnote" will become a world-class understatement once the testimonies are heard, court cases are concluded, books are published and movies distributed.

Let our minds continue to wander.......................
After antifa/blm set fire to historic St John Episcopal Church and invaded Lafayette Park on their way to the White House, Let our minds wander...what if they made it over the WH gates and got as far as the WH itself? That would have been the worst event since the Civil War.
Try to focus...this thread is about the Jan. 6th riot/insurrection...I know it's hard to look at,
but it's important enough that representatives of both parties are holding hearings on it, due to the fact that the objective of the event was to thwart our democratic process.
As for your reference to the violence surrounding the George Floyd protests in D.C., while always unlawful, this one was caused by outrage over the unnecessary murder of a black man by a rogue white police officer...not even in the same 'zip code' as what transpired on Jan. 6th...there was no intent to overthrow our democracy...a better comparison of this event would be the riots that occurred after Martin Luther King's assassination...again, unlawful...but understandable.
BTW, the actual BLM demonstration that followed was peaceful...up until Trump and Barr used excessive means to stop the criticism.
Not as hard watching your side looting, beating, vandalizing, murdering, burning their way to glory.

C'mon, is it really that hard to face reality?...it's not a good look with your fingers in your ears
Even lifelong Republicans with impeccable Conservative voting records see the Capital attack for what it was...a shameful attempt by a narcissistic and corrupt President to hold onto office, in spite of losing an election that every state certified as being won by Joe Biden...even Mitch McConnell...no friend of Democrats...made it clear, he agreed.
btw, in hopes that you'll get the message...I speak for myself...as I've said before, I've voted for probably more GOP Presidents than you have...so, please stop with trying to make it easier for you to discount my opinions...(one can dream...).
I've been voting R since the early 1970s. Never voted D........................
Voted against Richard Hatcher every single time. R party in Lake County, Indiana was and is virtually non existent. It really messes with your mind that you cannot change peoples minds or sway them one single inch with your MSNBC points. I love messin' with you and all the lefties around here because youz guys are long on talking points and short on actual facts.
My voting record only serves to amplify the distain for what the GOP has become...no party platform
even for the 2020 election...just blind subservience to narcissistic idiot...per his own cabinet members...culminating in an insurrection...so my question to you remains...what do you make of the Jan. 6th attack on our Capital?
Surely you have an opinion...let's hear it..."mess" with me a little ;-).
A “few loonies”? Looked like lots to me.
Your footnote prediction will be as accurate as your initial COVID predictions.
COVID is already a minor pandemic compared to most.
We will forget it happened in a couple years.
Sure we will, just like less than 10 thousand were going to die from it.
You sling bullshit like itโs hash.
Confiteor Deo. A year or so ago I believed Dr. Fauci
Today I feel he is the biggest fraud since Lance Armstrong Of course millions did not die due to his doping.
Sure it’s all his fault. You have hit the trifecta of being wrong on this thing.

More traumatic than searching out IEDs in Iraq, surrounded by ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Did any CNN anchors get choked up yesterday listening to this crapshow?
Ahhhhh, the scary, sobby "transcript." Terrifying stories!
There are cameras on every square inch of the Capitol. Funny how none of them seemed to capture any of these frightening encounters.
And of course, Harry Dunn stepped up and did his duty with the script of awful race-related verbal assaults.
Did you need to read the transcript on a fainting couch?
Exactly. Without video clearly identifying individuals (in synch with audio)....
I don't want to hear it. There's a reason we don't have that.
Those loons were never close to "robbing us of our democracy". That's absurd.

It's the rallying cry of libs trying to gaslight their way through mid-terms and distract from the biden administration.
The Jan 6 rioters were assholes who deserve to be prosecuted and/or imprisoned.
Trump should have told them to stand down or be peaceful.
Trump is an asshole who is unlikely to get re-elected.
But suggesting that the entire democracy is at stake is ridiculous.
BLM, Antifa, Portland are all complete assholes.
But they will not bring down America.
Wrong is wrong. Both sides are to blame.
Conor doesn't debate. Instead, he issues maudlin, melodramatic declarations that declare all those..
opposed to what he believes to be bad people.
See my thread below regarding the feminization of our society and recognize the traits.
Much better to issue such declarations that men should never cry in public, Trump’s post
COVID recovery statements are an example of stoicism that should be emulated. Those are tough, manly declarations even if they are BS.
And your insistence on dragging your losing arguments into separate threads. That too is...
the sort of behavior that I described below. Deep down, no guy feels good about behaving in this fashion. You know there's something wrong with it.
Is this another effort to get a thread/sub-thread locked by Mark? Knock yourself out, but do it on your own.
Truth hurts. The king of declarations complaining about others doing the same thing.
You are special.
One of yr better posts ๐
