Republicans are Blaming Antifa. Really.

Have they ever told the truth? Serious question. I cannot recall there being an honest Republican since Abe. Certainly Ronnie was a lying piece of shit, as were both Bushes. Trump never tells the truth and the whole party followed suit.

I guess Ike was honest. But, Nixon more than made up for it.
 

Either that or Republican Del. Derrick Evans is Antifa, but we all know he's "FA"
 
The military has a lot to say about people who attempt to palm off personal responsibility on someone else.
If I am not mistaken, if they find out someone did that, isn't the penalty for the infraction worse than if they had owned up?
 


Post fail(LOL)
 
Isn't it something how it's been the radical right that have been murdering liberal protesters, and now they are the ones that have committed Insurrection and Rebellion against the United States, and murdered a Capitol Police officer, but they keep saying everyone else is worse?
 

Everyone of those who took part in the coupt earlier this week should face the maximum penalty. They are traitors to there country.

How many peaceful protests stormed the Capitol building to interfere with the transfer of power?

Churches were fire bombed. People were assaulted, beaten and killed. A police station was occupied and then burned. A Federal Court house was attacked and the "mostly peaceful protesters" tried to burn it down.

Is it only the particular location of the "mostly peaceful protest" that has you concerned?
 
They murdered a Capitol Police officer, brought guns, Molotov Cocktails and pipe bombs, and caused extensive damage to the historic Capitol building. Are you for real?
 

Can you grasp the significance of assaulting the center of power in a transfer of power for our entire country?
 
Trump's contribution to America in a single picture:

Standing after midnight in a Capitol Rotunda still littered with the dirt and detritus left behind by the mob that breached the building, [Representative Fred Upton of Michigan] said: “This is his legacy, not the tax cuts, not the judges. Today.”

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who Mr. Trump has also demanded be unseated, offered a measure of deadpan when she said Republicans should part ways with their divisive leader. “I think today is a pretty good reason why,” Ms. Murkowski said walking into a Senate chamber surrounded by machine gun-bearing law enforcement officers.

I'm not endorsing the violence, assault, arson, murder or mayhem committed during this or any other "mostly peaceful protest" conducted over the last several months. Did you condemn other "mostly peaceful protests" as they were happeneing?

Regarding the weapons you list, were there explosions or fire bombs employed in the "mostly peaceful protest" that has you so upset? I've not heard of them.

Do you see no equivalencies in the frustrations felt by those who gathered in this "mostly peaceful protest" and in all of the other "mostly peaceful protests" across the last several months?

To me, the "mostly peaceful protestors" protesting in ALL of the "mostly peaceful protests" felt that they were not being listened to.

Are some "mostly peaceful protesters" justified in being frustrated while others are not?

I can.

Can you grasp that people across the political spectrum are frustrated feeling they've been lied to and ignored for years? Is one political position more justified to conduct a "mostly peaceful protest" than another?

I don't think any particular political position justifies the violence we've witnessed in any of the "mostly peaceful protests" over the last several months.

Do you?
 
You don't need fireworks when the cops guarding your goal bring cookies and help you down the stairs.
 

then maybe these “no one will listen to my rural white grievances” people should meet up with the “I’m African American and worry every day a cop will murder me” people and agree that solving their respective issues needn’t be a zero sum game, and choose to work together to solve these issues, and to firmly marginalize politicians who drive fear of the “other” to score political points.

In what world have Trump supporters been lied to and ignored for years?

Has Trump lied to them? Sure, I guess. But that's their own fault for trusting them.

Its not boring. It is self serving. If it had been 10,000 chinese guys storming the capitol, I don't doubt you'd have an opinion. However, because it was 10,000 white folks, killing cops, spreading covid and destroying property, you need to wait for the dust to settle.

We see you chuckie, we've seen you for a looooooong time.
 
When someone calls an unorganized club of college students that occasionally punch nazis at demonstrations, "a violent terrorist organization", you know why. You know why a gaggle of nobodies, that have never killed anyone ever, is being elevated to The Great Boogeyman. It's a pretty obvious agenda being served there.

It's like calling New York Jets fans, "a violent terrorist organization". But the narrative isn't sports fandom, it's racism.

Is mostly peaceful protest now being called treason?

I thought mostly peaceful protest was a blessed event as described over the last several months.

What's changed?

So looting a apple store is some sort of moral equivalent of looting the Capitol? It doesn't surprise me that many trump supporters can't recognize the extremely nuanced difference. Naturally false equivalency is the only reliable emotionally acceptable defense.

The QAnon Shaman, his views are well known. He has no connection to BLM or ANTIFA.

Nice try but you have been fooled again for believing memes.

when in a constant state of being fooled, is it grammatically correct to use "again"?

Election reform for what? To appease those who are detached from reality and bought into Trump's unhinged conspiracy theories? Our government is not, nor should it be in the business of mollifying deranged citizens.

At this point it's not a conspiracy theory. He was just being a con man trying to save face in case be lost.

How anyone believe him when he did this TWICE blows my mind.
