This is just Democrats trying to fire up their base.

Ain't it the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In four months Biden and his posse have managed to create a raging dumpster fire with everything they have touched. If I was a Democrat, I wouldn't want to talk about it either. And yes 2022 is just around the corner.

...and where do you live? The pandemic, which was out of control in November, is now very much in control in just a few short months. The economy is doing fine. The right direction / wrong direction indicators are in the best shape in years.

This is a rather long video but showing much of what went on, 'mostly (very) peaceful', and there is clearly no reason why any protester there should have been murdered. And of course there was never any attempt at an "Insurrection", and anyone claiming there was is either lying or hopelessly stupid.

Does your video include the cop being smashed in the door and the mob trying to get past the barrier?

It was an insurrection. I am not particularly interested in what a foreigner has to say about it.

I hope they do. I have a feeling the capital officer being " beaten to death with a fire extinguisher", wasn't the only lie peddled by the MSM and democrat party. I used to think the Dems laid out the talking points, and the MSM parroted them, but I'm starting to think the dems take their cues from Hollywood and the woke mob on social media, and that becomes their talking points.

Watch the video yourself.

Who told you it was an 'insurrection'?

What I'm saying. Let's investigate everything and shove it all out into the open, no matter what.

The FBI has investigated that shooting and closed the case. It was justified. He was defending the capitol from a bunch of crazy rabid maniacs. Even some of the witness accounts said some of these attackers were foaming at the mouth.

We know the names of the officers involved in justified shootings all the time. This post says nothing.

Too damn bad.

It's a dangerous time when citizens approve that the killings of civilians be kept secret and no investigation is made public.

A mere four months later and still not a single panel to hold Republican leaders accountable for the attack they created and instigated with their hoax to steal the election. In the meantime, almost 100,000 former Republicans, since January 6, has figured it out.



See what I mean? No matter what, defend Trump at all costs, because ultimately you all really are only seeking to defend yourselves. Makes sense I guess, considering that Trump is already being documented as the very worst in Presidential history. The only partisan nonsense in play has always ever come from Trump Nation and its corrupt leadership. All this partisan crap began the moment Republicans decided that holding secret meetings with Russians during a campaign that saw Russian interference meant nothing. That's he began his Presidency and he ended it with at attack on the Capitol. Still, Trump Nation chooses to look away.

But funny how the deflection has become so obnoxiously absurd. Once again we see the shame of the Right, who needs to personally play off of their QAnon in order to create a "blueanon" to compensate. Conspiracy nonsense is all the Right works from anymore. No real ideologies at all. Nobody outside of the cult clings to conspiracy like the Right. Want a list? ...

This is a great example of the problem. I'd love to see an investigation into the incident and security failure that happened that day. The problem is that many on the left view this as an attempt to score political points and get into conspiracy theories.

That's an interesting standard you have there. You realize the FBI has investigated the motives of the people who broke the law as well, right? So by your standard the job is done, no need for a commission, right?

I find it laughable that many people here who are calling for an investigation are doing so under the guise of claiming they want to know what happened on 1/6, but in reality they want to exclude things that they may not want to know more about. This is the exact problem that Republicans have with Democrats proposing this. You're making their argument for them and it's downright hilarious that you can't see it.

'He invited us': Accused Capitol rioters blame Trump in novel legal defense

Emanuel Jackson, a 20-year-old Washington area man, was caught on video using a metal bat to strike the protective shields wielded by police officers as they tried to fend off rioters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
www.reuters.com www.reuters.com

www.businessinsider.com

At least 10 people charged in the Capitol siege are blaming Trump for their involvement in the attack

Criminal law experts told Insider that the outcome of the trial could help Capitol rioters shift the blame to Trump in their criminal cases.
www.businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com

How would they ever get the idea that Trump wanted them to stop the peaceful transfer of power?

What did Jr. mean at the rally when he announced to Republican legislators, "we're coming for you?" Or Mo Brooks telling the crowd, "“start taking down names and kicking ass.”

Sounds like an insurrection to me. Whats it sound like to you? Tourism?

His name is withheld out of concern for his personal safety. But his name is known. How would your knowing it matter, other than to resolve your own curiosity?
 
GDViking said:
Bullshit!!!
Americans died that day to prevent an attack on the capitol!!!

It is an embarrassment that other American citizens a d put aside their loyalty to their nation and put their cult leader over their country, and actually attacked our nations Capitol, that true Americans died defending.

Would you feel the same about the attack and Insurgence on the Capitol had your family been on flight 93???

Firefighting is a brotherhood, and we consider every firefighter that was killed that day family. I'll put it in your words, saying the January 6th riot is equivalent to 9/11 is "bullshit".

You realize there's now safety concerns with any officer involved shooting that involves a black suspect, right? Their names are still released.

I did not know. Link?

So why does your learning his name matter?
 
The "tourists" brought a gallows and were shouting "**** McConnell!" yet somehow he doesn't want to expose Trump's crimes. Strange.
