i said she didn’t pose an immediate, lethal threat to anybody. but she was trespassing, maybe guilty of vandalism. not normally considered capital offenses, but certainly crimes.
you just lie and make up whatever suits your demented narrative.

And there is video evidence that she was trying to stop the vandal who smashed in the glass pane through which she jumped, possibly to escape any danger from the crowd that was being pinned in by the swat team. The video strongly indicates that she did not want to destroy government property or attack anybody except the vandal who was breaking the glass.

Michigan state senate candidate Mike Detmer (@DetmerMike) tells a crowd that he wants citizens to bring guns to polling places: “…if we can’t change the tide, we need to be prepared to lock and load. So you ask, ‘What can we do?’ Show up armed.”

Right now, under the rules as the leader of the Republican Party has defined them, Kamala Harris on January 6, 2025, has the right to name anyone she wants as president for the term that begins two weeks later.

Someone didn't think that through. KH names Biden again, in 4 years she names herself, in 8 years her VP names KH again and so on.

John Dean, who served as the White House counsel during Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal, has condemned former President Donald Trump's claim that he'd consider pardoning the January 6 Capitol rioters if he were to win the presidency in 2024.
"If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly," Trump said at his Save America rally in Texas on Saturday. "And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. Because they are being treated so unfairly."
Dean, who was disbarred for obstruction of justice and held in government custody for four months during the Watergate scandal, tweeted his disagreement with Trump's promise of pardons.
"This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators," Dean tweeted.
"He is defying the rule of law. Failure to confront a tyrant only encourages bad behavior," Dean added. "If thinking Americans don't understand what Trump is doing and what the criminal justice system must do, we are all in big trouble!"

Bill Clinton pardoned his brother (half brother?) Roger, who had been convicted of trafficking cocaine.
Clinton also pardoned Marc Rich, who had fled the country because he owed $50 million in unpaid federal taxes. The pardon came after Rich's wife donated more than $1 million to democrats.
And Clinton is an absolute hero on the left.
BUT TRUMP!
I have no problem pardoning anyone who was guilty of trespassing, yet is sentenced to years in prison. If they actually were holding hostages and making demands that the election be overturned, charge them with insurrection.

Mr. Trump’s public confession last night, where he all but dared the Attorney General to seek a grand jury indictment against him for seditious conspiracy and for giving aid and comfort to an insurrection to “overturn the election,” is the last straw. The Government must call his bluff.
I suppose he was just “kidding”

Seems you like to start a thread a day or so. You can start one about Clinton Tues.
As much as I disagree on those 2 at least they didn't invade our capital and try to subvert the will of the American people who elected Biden by preventing the peaceful transfer of power

me?
since you didn’t tell pete he was starting to many anti trump
threads ( and he started way more than i ever have), then using your logic, doesn’t that mean you don’t have any principles?
If I did the search correctly, I started 11 in January. Your math is about as sound as your reading comprehension. But that's too many...

I know John censured him but you prob. have more posts (never mind the # of threads) in this forum., then using your logic, doesn’t that mean you don’t have any principles? It looks like he has only started 1 thread on the front page???? Looks like out of the about 25 threads 21 or so where started by the right here with the vast majority started by you. With some real winners such as Biden vs Doucey II and did they arrest the gun. Look at those and tell me you don't complain about anything and everything.

"Trump didn't win in 2016???"
And Biden won in 2020. Right?
"Was it wrong when the democrats tried to do so? As Wayne has pointed out hundreds of times, the magnitude is not nearly the same."
The congressional democrats didn't engage in any violence. But they protested the electoral results of more states than the GOP did in 2020.
It was a very small number of congressional democrats who did this in 2016. Some of them are still in Congress. Did they try to subvert the will of the people?
"You're really not an actuary. Just come clean, we care less"
Given my ability to yank your chain, you might think I'm a pshchiatrist. But I'm an FCAS. Why ask if you don't care?

When Trump won in 2016, some congressional democrats challenged results in several states in an effort to get the electors "to subvert the will of the American people who elected Trump by preventing the peaceful transfer of power"
Was it wrong when the democrats tried to do so?
How were the rioters going to overturn the election, Paul?

What D. state governors and Sec. of states tried to throw out the election results? What D states passed laws to change voting laws?

trumps Texas rally
The former president also dangled pardons for Jan. 6 rioters and urged his throngs of supporters to descend on New York, Washington or Atlanta for street protests if he is convicted of crimes in ongoing investigations, intimations of support for violence that within hours
But Biden’s the threat to America
Says Republicans Lol

Are politically-motivated protests always bad? Or only when Republicans do it? Seems like a simple question.

Trump: 'Unselect Committee' Should Investigate Pence, Pelosi
So pathetic to watch the Unselect Committee of political hacks, liars, and traitors work so feverishly to alter the Electoral College Act so that a Vice President cannot ensure the honest results of the election, when just one year ago they said that 'the Vice President has absolutely no right to ensure the true outcome or results of an election,'
Still lying tru his Teeth ,

Try and make it complicated
Barr refuses & resigns. DHS is a no. With new post-election appointees at DoD, all former living SecDefs write an Op-Ed demanding hands off & even Rudy agrees. So who keeps it moving-soliciting, attempting & conspiring to overthrow the election? The guy tearing up the records.

Some records sent to Jan. 6 committee were torn up, taped back together — mirroring a Trump habit
The National Archives confirmed Trump’s unusual habit of ripping up documents, which forced aides to attempt to piece them back together in order to comply with the Presidential Records Act.
Of course no respect for the office AMERICA 1st LOL its always been Trump 1st
