Senate Report Details Jan 6 Intelligence and Law Enforcement Failures

Because Trump has the right to say he thinks he was robbed.....
How could he think that after his DOJ investigated every election fraud claim and conspiracy theory and came back and told Trump there was no such fraud, and all the Secretaries of State he called told him his fraud claims were false, and his 60 lawsuits about the election all failed for lack of evidence, and at that point how can ANYONE "think" the election was stolen? No, he didn't think he was robbed, he knew there was no evidence the election was stolen from him. He knew, and proceeded to defraud the American people anyway, and apparently you and these other sorry apologists believed him? You gotta be kidding me! This is utter insanity.
 
DCCougar said:
Section 1505 outlaws obstructing congressional or federal administrative proceedings, a crime
punishable by imprisonment not more than five years....
The thing here is that Congress is not an agency or a department of the USA.
It does codify obstructing Congress when it is in committee or engaging in some type of investigation.
But none of that was going on Jan 6,
Are you serious?
 

Whatever. The issue here isn't his judgement. Its whether he has criminal culpability.
 
1) you don't know that
2) irrelevant
But we do know that: There were conspiracy trials, people were convicted.
Neither nor any of his aides were indicted, or even named as an inindicted co-conspirator.
Stone wasnt on trial. So again irrelevant
Yes- because there was no evidence to suggest he was part of any conspiracy to storm the White House.
Smith isn't going to find anything different.
sure but thats not what we are talking about here..so irrelevant

Oh, but it is. At its core, that is all this is.
Actually there is.. its called conspiracy.

No-- its not conspiracy to argue a specious constitutional theory.
Again you have nothing
I don't have to have anything. You have to have something.
 
Pure trollshit that deserves no further response.
The Democrats used it like they used Covid and the overturning of Roe V Wade. They have nothing else to offer but fear.
 

No you prefer propogandists from trashy right wing blogs with little or no credibility.
Yes, and learn some things.

No one every learned a thing from one of your posts, other than what the noise machine and “some guy on the internet” told you, so you could repeat it.
 
More pure trolls BS.
The Democrats have replaced Christianity as the largest cult in America and have adopted quite successfully all of their tactics to get and keep converts.
In the early stages Christianity had trouble with the guilt trip of original sin as their only drawing card. That concept is adopted by the left now to control unruly and unbelievers that there is systematic racism. So the left uses fear like Christianity uses the concept of hell. it works like a charm.
 


There is systematic racism, as the Supreme Court and its right wing accolades have demonstrated.

The core of trumpism is white “nationalism” (bigotry).

What comes out of the mouths of GOP politicians today is identical to the language that came out of racist politicians in the 1950’ and 60’s.

When Texas introduced its latest round of voter suppression laws, the speaker was reminded that he was using the exact same language to justify his actions and Texas legistors 150 years ago used to introduce “Jim Crow” laws. Almost word for word.

Why do you think that Fox Noise feeds you a constant B roll of black people in the streets (even though it was four years ago) as if it were breaking news?
 
The Democrats used it like they used Covid and the overturning of Roe V Wade. They have nothing else to offer but fear.

Fear?

Covid was real. It was also global.

So, there’s little point in trying to deliberately misrepresent it as just fear.

Similarly, there is no point in labeling the repeal of Roe Vs Wade as a fear issue.

It has proven to be wildly unpopular with most American, even as reactionary Republicans in state legislaturges have taken steps to fully justify any “fear” that the largely pro choice public has.

Fearmongering is a right wing tactic. It is one of the core values of right wing media.
 
I was reading an article in The Economist. One of the people there went absolutely nuts when Trump said what he did on Jan 6th and started breaking windows, etc. This lady had never been in trouble with the law and was only going there to hear him speak, not to participate in the ransacking of the Capitol. There is something to be said about Trump's "talent" to make people do something they would never ever do in a single speech.
 
Nationalism is good and necessary as is being proven by the Muslim riots in France as i type this. Dioversitry doe not = strength. Set asides and AA has ruined black America,

I have to have an ID to vote. It is an elitist insult by white saviors that blacks somehow don't know how to get an ID.
 
This infantile comment is about as effective as "I know you are but what am I?"
Why? Everything the Democrats do and their tactics used to make people obey and control them is identical to how the Christians get and keep converts and believers. I can think of not one method that the Christians use to indoctrinate and propagandize that the Democrats do not also use.
 

For the first point, I'm not entirely sure what AA, black America, and Muslim riots and France have to do with American nationalism and Jan. 6th. But assuming for a moment they are all related, American nationalism, or "classic" nationalism, the pride in one's country, was never the issue. The issue is taking pride in factors that can't be helped (i.e., skin color) and assuming that people of one characteristic or another is my desirable. That is not what I would consider "American nationalism," that is a bare minimum, someone looking to grasp at straws for something to be proud about (i.e., a bum who hasn't amounted to anything manufacturing something to be proud of), and at maximum, raw xenophobia. See, the problem is not pride in one's country. The problem is that unchecked pride leads to white nationalism, leads to raw xenophobia, with the latter two holding up progress.

As far as your second point, if you think that's the problem with voter ID law, then you're missing the forest for the trees. The problem with instituting voter ID laws are twofold: 1) the requirement for a voting ID (Which can be restrictive -- a tenant might not be able to meet any of those requirements), and 2) the timing of the introduction of the law. Texas once passed a law within a week of an election. For me, a white guy, I couldn't get a voter ID in that amount of time. I'm a pedestrian and have no license. And depending on the area, Ubers might not be available and I might have to bum a ride from someone.
 
On your voting situation, no one ever said life was easy.

On Nationalism, are you saying that Hispanics and blacks should not be a Nationalist, which means pride in your country, America/

Regarding France, there is a near blackout of news on the riots which are by MUSLIMS because they don't want to be considered racist. This Muislim was a career criminal and the officers' life was in danger. But like white on black in America now, they blame the white guy first even if it is a cop. France is what happens when globalist ideas take root where a country takes in all comers and gives them stuff like we are doing ourselves here in the USA. Those newcomers have NO allegiance to the country they invaded. Their allegiance in the case of France is to Muslims and Islam. This is what diversity, inclusion, equity, and globalism do to a country.

Fortunately, this also means the demise of Macron. The French people have had quite enough of his globalism now.
 
"No one ever said life was easy" -- that's what you'd say to the millions of people, both white and black, who would have the same problem I would have had? The court decided that the law was legit, but the timing was not, so the courts allowed the law to take effect next election, thereby giving everyone 2 years to get an ID in the next federal election and making it almost impossible to have an excuse for not having an ID. Which solution is more practical?

I never said anything about which race should be Nationalist. Read. my. posts.

Which riots are you talking about? The riots over pension reform? Or the riots over the teenage boy who was shot and killed by police? Be specific.
 

Racism masquerading as “nationalism” is still racism. It’s just hiding behind another name. And not very well, at that. As the riots in France demonstrate.

“Diversity does not equal strength”

Yes, we know. We heard that from Hitler, Goebells, Julius Striker and the rest.

“Set asides and AA has ruined black America”.

Try backing up that empty claim.

Of course, you could ask Clarence Thomas. He is a product of AA.
 
Actually, both now that you mention it. The riots over pension reform just show how entrenched people get with free stuff. In this case, being paid NOT to work and complaining about having to work to the ripe old age of 64!!! Once people get used to something like that it is near imp[ossible to break them away from the teat.

The riots in France now are ethnic-based, just like the BLM riots here in America. It is difficult to fathom there would be riots in France now had Macron not been a globalist open borders guy like Biden. I suppose the Muslims there would call dissenters to open borders French Nationalist, racist nazis.
 
I am not so sure he is. He is a highly intelligent individual. I believe he got in on his merits.

Oh, WAIT! He's black but a conservative so he's a bad man.

The riots in France now prove you wrong and the airplane movie is right.

As cop cars are being burned, buildings burned, and riots in the streets, Macron has to call in 40,000 more troops because a Muslim who would've killed a cop was himself killed, and the riots are BY Muslims who invaded France because of Macron's globalist policies and NOT being a Nationalist, the left says:

"There's nothing to see here, folks. Run along now. Nothing to see HERE!"
 

I'm definitely not for free and open borders the way it's usually meant. Do I believe that maybe borders could be easier to transit across? Sure; there's always room for improvement in the system, etc. - but free and open borders implies that you wouldn't be tracking anyone at all. This could be dangerous, especially if we let terrorists in without being checked and just sort of lose track of them. That said, I believe part of the problem on the U.S. Border is that ICE's mission involves doing too many things and needs to be simplified. For instance, ICE's skill is catching those crossing the border illegally, which does not make them uniquely qualified for running immigrant detention centers (FEMA could do a better job with housing, for instance, maybe ICE keeps track of who is in the centers?).

You've identified two riots. One happened yesterday, one a few months ago. Which is the one you believe Muslims have co-opted the most? Also, #BLM is not "ethnic" in the same way Muslims are "ethnic," or at least not as you mentioned it above.
 

Clarence Thomas has said on multiple occasions that he is a product of affirmative action.

Airplane movie????????

Oh, and the French far right is as shot full of bigotry and the American right is, and has the same pseudo fascist flirtations.

You never saw the Airplane movie? There is a scene that perfectly depicts the New Modern Democrats. Airplanes are crashing all over, falling from the sky. Buildings are on fire, and cars exploding. People running around frantically. The police are trying to maintain order and keep people away. A crowd starts to gather and the lead detective tries to keep them from pushing through the perimeter as they crane their necks to get a better and closer look. He tells them"

"There's nothing to see here, folks. Run along now. Nothing to see HERE!"

I believe in the same movie or second one, it shows how political correctness and inclusion destroy people's common sense and mind and actually happened in America not too long ago with 20 FBI thugs raiding the home of a Catholic family in the wee hours of the morning to the terror and screams of their several; children who were awakened by the swat team. So, whoever made the Airplane movies was a prophet along the lines of George Orwell because it perfectly depicted what is happening today. here is that scene:

A group of nuns is at the airport going through the check-in line. The crack team of checkers thinks they look suspicious and pulls all of them out of the line. They make them face the wall with their hands up while they frisk them and rough them up. Meanwhile, A terrorist group in fatigues and carrying machine guns is going through the checkout line and the checkers smile and wave them all through.

PS. That is what globalism and inclusion is.
