isn’t it a good thing Trump is encouraging people to get the vaccine and booster?
You’re attacking him for that?

A year out from 1/6/21, we've arrived at the point where considerable numbers of pro-Trump people declare their outright support for the attack - and where the willingness to cover up for it is the test of orthodoxy for Republicans seeking nomination to the House in 2022

Seems, since it took violent actions against the government to create the U.S., that such violence is sometimes is justified. Unless you're not a fan of the U.S. Or of other violent revolts against governments, especially in Europe, that deposed authoritarians in favor of governments closer to the wishes and needs of the people. |

and probably 10 out of 10 democrats feel that way, evidenced by every political riot from the last 35 years except january 6 - anti police riots, black lives matter, antifa, any of that ring a bell?

I wonder what the numbers are for Democrats that don’t think protests need to be peaceful

Some of us said it protesting was good, violence was bad, whether D or R and they were excoriated on the "muhhh BOTH SIDES" thing.
But Jan 6th was a Mostly Peaceful Protest. |

Just think of all of the hungry children they could have fed this holiday season instead of funding a massive effort to hand out all of those “parading” tickets

They have hundreds more that will receive “tickets”
The Capital police who bore the brunt of the attack and the perpetrators who have and will receive prison terms would disagree with your gaslighting

Ross saw it was NOT mostly peaceful, which is why he reacted to John’s post. I had the same gut reaction, but I wasn’t sure if John actually believed that to be true or the post was sarcastic. Sorry anyone thinking that was mostly peaceful is blind, never saw a single video released or want to white wash it away like many on the right are attempting to do. Carry on with, as others have so accurately described this forum, the endless circle jerk. |

Police ended up dying and committing suicide shortly thereafter.
Lot's of people get charged w/murder when they participate in crimes even if they didn't pull the trigger. |

Trump didn’t change the current GOP, he revealed it. To look the other way is to deny the grave danger to democracy that is the truth of the Republican Party.

Sure Jan,
Trump instilled doubt in the "rigged" election, pressured officials, installed DeJoy, admitted he wouldn't concede, appointed someone in the Supreme Court who he believed would help overturn the results, and fomented the violent attempted putsch#^&at the Capitol. It was all Trump.
Even Ivanka says so

we were ALL in grave danger. Grave.
the fact that the lefty riots last summer killed infinitely more people ( since the january 6 idiots killed zero), and caused billions more in property damage, matters not.

72% of Americans believe the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were “threatening democracy” and most believe Trump is responsible. I think you’re underestimating how much people want to see accountability.

Do do you think Jim knows what infinitely means? Should he be allowed to do a job that requires math? |

If you can shrug it off as just another incident of Trump talking too much, then you have already signed up for the next incident—and the one after that.
