Three Percenters Charged With Conspiracy in Jan. 6 Attack

I'm not interested in playing your game of semantics; splitting hairs.
I meant no offense but it is important.

America IS a democracy....(a republic, which is a democracy)...you said its not a democracy.

Clarification was necessary. Facts matter.
 
You think?

She said "America is a Republic not a democracy".

Key word "not".

Please explain.
well having once been the ranking student in the Yale PS department, she is right in the sense that while a republic is a modified form of democracy, those educated in the field will often use the term Democracy to mean something without say a senate or the electoral college, while a Republic is a different beast, with some similarities

it is not a (pure) democracy by any means and that is what she meant.

Nonsense.


Facts. The USA is a Republic, which is a type of Democracy. The UK, has a parliamentary system, which is a type of democracy. When we refer to the worlds democracies we include both..

Those educated in the field would not be so clumsy and inacurate with the terms.

The sentence "America is a Republic not a democracy" is factually false because a republic is a democracy.

Hopefully Yale taught you that much at least.
 
Nonsense.

I find your pretense laughable. I know what she meant, she knows what she meant you don't score any points for such silliness

You're obfuscating, hence, you refutation is rendered moot.
 
And they should face justice if the case is made...That you couldn't care less about those who carried out far worse actions last summer shows me all I need to know....Thanks...
Do you ever get tired of playing that same old idiotic tiny violin?

Just clarifying the facts.

Facts are not pretense.

:LOL: 🤣😃 Yeah right! Uh uh.
 
is that an attempt to rebut what I said, without being able to do it?
That you were a 'ranking' Yalie? A review of the totality of your posts should easily more than suffice in rebutting that claim. Go sell that crazy somewhere else.
 

A group of men affiliated with the anti-government Three Percenter movement was charged with conspiring to block the electoral vote confirmation of President Joe Biden at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

The Justice Department on Thursday unsealed charges against Alan Hostetter, 56; Russell Taylor, 40; Erik Scott Warner, 45; Felipe Antonio Martinez, 47; Derek Kinnison, 39; and Ronald Mele, 51. All six are from California.


About 30 people - including members of two other right-wing groups, The Oath Keepers and The Proud Boys - have been accused of conspiracy, the most serious charges related to the riot. Those pending cases are the largest and most complex of the roughly 500 brought by the Justice Department since the attack.

I look forward to these insurrectionists being sent to prison.
They need to be in gen pop with trump and the rest of his crime family.

you cannot rebut that. You are just speculating because you are most likely upset that your educational resume is deficient compared to the one I claim to have.
 
Clinton's first, and Senile Joe and his corrupt son are equally guilty.
What an obtuse post. Whatever crimes in your mind Biden and Hunter have committed, they pale in comparison to trump trying and still trying to overthrow our Republic.

Get away from us with your lame gaslighting attempts. They don't work anymore.

Wow, can you give us one incident that is equal to the trump supporters trashing the capitol, chanting hang mike pence and looking for nancy so they could kill her too? Just one of your oh so horrible incidents will do in comparison to the folks stopping the steal and trying to overthrow a duly elected president with force. What america do you live in? Wherever it is, I want no part of it.

You forget that I and everyone else can read your posts. I know plenty of people that are highly educated and from what I've seen you wouldn't be able to even begin to hold a candle to any one of them. I call BS and laugh because it's such an obvious joke.

Trump was not convicted of such charges. Why do you hate the longstanding concept of INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY beyond a REASONABLE DOUBT? Do you also hate our constitutional rights as well?

Sure you do. Sadly for you, enough people know I have the education I claim.
