[W:241] McConnell throws cold water on Dems' proposed 1/6 Commission

Stop trying to rationalize your bigotry by claiming that others would do it to you, so it's not wrong when you do it.

I dare you to prove that claim? I treat all people, black, white, yellow, brown, red, green, blue, and plaid absolutely equally and the way that I want them to treat me.

Any of the Trump rabble that crossed over the police barricades at the foot of the capitol steps are guilty of treason because of that action and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Those who try to defend them are just as guilty.



Start with the Mercers.

You accused me of bigotry. Nonsense libel. Prove it or retract it.

My post is not about race. I'm talking about how you want to erase the individual responsibility of the capital rioters in favor of a collective responsibility based on the worst actors.

The reasons I ask who uttered those phrases was because it matters. We can't assess any of this properly without removing partisan blinders first. That's why McConnell is right.

Sure expropriate the mercers too.

This was not an organized tour group. They were all there to further Trumps' bogus election claims of Stop The Steal. They will be judged by the company that they kept and what they did. There very last thing that McConnell wants is a non-partisan and effective investigation into Trump and the GOP because he will be seen as supporting it as well as his defense of it. McConnell does not have a backbone and they refuse to take a stand against Trump and his fascism.
 
I say lets give them the war they’ve always wanted.

I wish it wasn't the case but then again I am sure a lot of our daddies and granddaddies wished it wasn't case in 1941 either.
It's the reality and we have to accept the reality and do what needs to be done.
 
You don't want to treat the people involved as individuals. You want to treat them as a class

That's because they ARE a class and you know it, so stop talking like a weasely coward and have the balls to come right out and state that you support the dismantling of democracy by a coup detat, because that is what you're conducting your apologetics for and everyone knows it.
They are a class: ENEMY COMBATANTS.

Thank you for confirming my point. BTW, Trump was acquitted. not sure how guilt by association works with someone who was, quite literally, found not guilty.

Ahahahaha! Prove it in court, then. I suggest you learn how to make your case across the aisle, though, or you're just gonna see more acquittals. Reminder: Trump was found not guilty twice.

That's why McConnell is correct in his assessment.

No, no court.
There's no courts in a war.

LOL McConnell? Trump?
Atta boy! At least you found some nuts finally.

Trump was acquitted because the GOP put partisan unity over the country, facts, and the Constitution. It was an example of jury nullification instead of Trump being judged to be innocent of the charges against him.
 
Says a person who has no problem with the 1/06 attacks.
Assertion without evidence.

Give me a quote where I say any such thing. I have a problem with the 1/6 attacks just like I have problems with the last 9 months of Antifa/BLM attacks on citizens and cities.
 
They beat cops and broke through barriers to get into the building that was closed to the public?
They broke through into the building during the hearings, and attempted to break the doors to the Supreme Court. A bunch got arrested (though notably, no cops shot unarmed people there, unlike at the 1/6 riot).

He was acquitted -- twice -- because Democrats were utterly incapable of making their case to anyone who didn't already agree with them. Your claims of partisanship are silly. If you can't convince people who weren't already drinking the Kool-aid, then you never had proof to begin with -- just partisanship.

It was irrelevant if the Democrats made their case because the GOP rejected the facts and voted purely on party unity. They admitted as much after the fact.

Washington (CNN)Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell directly blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting last month's riot but voted Saturday to acquit him anyway of inciting an insurrection.
McConnell sharply criticized his former ally in a speech on the Senate floor shortly after Trump was cleared in a 57-43 vote, saying the rioters had been "fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth. Because he was angry he'd lost an election."
"Former President Trump's actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty," added McConnell. "Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."
But McConnell -- who, as Senate majority leader last month, rejected calls by Senate Democrats for a speedy trial during Trump's final days in office -- said Trump was constitutionally ineligible for conviction since the punishment is removal, and Trump was already out of office. McConnell claimed that a verdict before Joe Biden's inauguration had been impossible.
 
Seven died from Trump's planned insurection...

Four died in bengahzi...

Math is hard...
Where the hell are you getting this 'seven' from?

Two people died directly from the supposed insurrection. One was shot by police, while unarmed (but she wasn't black so y'all don't care). Another got trampled in a human crush (something not uncommon in large crowds, especially when police shoot tear gas, etc., and people try to escape.

A cop died well after the riot when he had a stroke, nearly a day later. Two people also died of natural causes - a heart attack and a stroke - at some point during the day but there is no evidence they were even at the riot, only evidence they had been at the rally.

So even if we absurdly decided to include those last three, that's still only 5.
 
The weirdest "weirdo" spoke to the crowd before the riot and told them to go to the Capitol and "fight like hell" to "stop the steal".
He told them to "Peacefully and Patriotically" march to the Capitol. And he used the term 'fight' numerous times in his speech, all of them in the figurative way that literally every politician in the history of politicians has used to figuratevely describe their work and what their followers need to do. He literally even said that they need to work to primary people who did not favor the challenges. SO spare us the BS. If he's guilty of incitement, every politician in DC is.
 
Stay tuned to the commission report and read slowly. ;)
IF it's anything like the embarrassment that was the House managers' case, it won't be worth anyone's time to read it.

Really? "Every politician in DC" has called his election loss a fraud? Name me one besides Mr. One and done. No President in history has called his failed reelection "stolen" and refused to concede. That is incitement alone and betrays his oath to uphold the Constitution too. How do you think those at the rally that morning could have stopped Biden from being President by acting peacefully and patriotically? How stupid do you think they are? The one term mistake told them they must take back their country and weakness would not suffice. They took him literally and the rest is history and had they succeeded in bringing down our democracy you would have cheered. You are complicit with the murder of policemen also.

I must have missed the "Kavanaugh protestors" breaking into the Capitol, carrying the flags of enemies of the United States, and chanting to kill someone. But I'm sure you can refresh my memory with a link.
Lots of people missed it. Because the media didn't call it an' insurrection', a 'storming', a 'riot', etc., because they sympathized with it.

Oh, and it included people going full Game Of Thrones and chanting "Shame!" at Pence as he walked from the Capitol (as anyone knows, that ain't a pleasant scene in the show)



 
Why are you desperate to ignore the fact that the violent Trump rabble killed a capital police officer, intended to kill members of Congress and the VP as part of their plan to overturn the election and the will of the people to install Trump as a dictator, or arent those facts convenient to your Qanon talking points? Did you think that we wouldn't notice your furious spin?
There is absolutely zero evidence that the 'violent Trump rabble' killed any police officer. Officer Sicknick called his family well after the riot and told them he was fine. It was well after that, where he had a stroke, and then died. They didn't kill any officer.

Did you know that? Or are those facts not convenient to your communist talking points? Did you think I wouldn't notice your furious falsehood?
