That's precisely what a distraction is for to distract you.
Distract me from what?
Does it matter? People flipping out over this wailing about insurrection and carrying on like it was ten civil wars doesn't seem suspicious to you?
No, it seems entirely appropriate. Trump, who said the 2016 election was fixed, outdid himself in 2020. The 2000 election controversy garnered a lots of attention as well, but the "Brooks Brothers riot" was small potatoes compared to Jan 6. Name a bigger US political story since the 1970s. Watergate was indeed a "third rate burglary" -- as Nixon put it -- in comparison.

This had advance publicity by Trump, had his call to arms with apocalyptic language (see Henry V below), even had a bit of comedy with the guy sporting horns, plus lots of other bells and whistles. It was the right wing's unsuccessful Bastille, a US version of Adolf's 1920s Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, only Trump didn't make it to the parade after his speech. Like St. Crispan's day. "This story shall the good republican teach his son,"GOPers of the future will think themselves "accursed they were not there, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us on Jan 6." (Apologies to the Bard.)

That's what Trump has counted on for many years. Still does, reportedly to the tune GOP's $250 million.

Alas autistic screeching about Trump. It would be worth it to elect him again just to see it break you people some more.Tha

Trump Raised $250 Million Since Election To Challenge Outcome—Here’s Where Most Of The Money Will Actually Go
New FEC filings show how many fundraising dollars Trump accumulated in the weeks after the 2020 election.
Ok, let's stop beating about the bush. Enter your opinion of the various Trump scams: university, foundation, steaks, birtherism, using inaugural donations for himself, violating the emoluments clause.
Don't care. Far less currupt than anybody that has held that office before or sense.
Hearing you say this after finishing your plate of bs and your 15 the helping of it is rather ironic.
He's a saint compared to Bush 1&2, Obama, Clinton, Biden, and just about anybody else you can think of.
Give me a break. No one comes close to Trump. Insults, open corruption, support of torture and war crimes, unwillingness to accept defeat, whatever. Name anything like his university scam that Obama or the Bushes did. Didn't reveal his taxes, didn't separate himself from his businesses. Go ahead, donate to his latest $250 million hustle.
No breaks given you're blind to the corruption of your party because you don't give a shit about corruption. If you did you wouldn't be focusing on Trump he was probably the least corrupt politician in modern history.
Ignoring everything else $250,000,000 bilked directly from his supporters is quite a grift indeed. Don't feel bad, he scammed a lot of people.
There's video proof of an insurrection. Mob breeches capital in order to "stop the steal" => insurrection. You can call it a tour or a picnic lunch, but nobody cares. Just because it failed doesn't mean it was a peaceful gathering of idiots wandering around. Oh, they were idiots, yes, but they did more than take pictures and visit the gift shop.
pretending criminal behavior didn't happen because it was your tribesman that did it isn't a grift it's exploiting your tribalism.
It wasn't an insurrection. That is Hysteria.
I'm not blind to this - this is exactly what Trump did. I call it a grift, you call it exploitation. It's both, really.
I'm not being hysterical, I'm perfectly calm and reasonable. I'm here, and other places to make sure I stay out of a bubble - I appreciate that you do the same. That said, I don't think it was the most adept insurrection I could have imagined, but that doesn't mean that a mob didn't bust into the capitol of the United States calling for the head of the Vice President of same who was supposed to be counting the votes of the EC at the time. The tally of which would remove their Dear Leader from the office of the Presidency. What do you call it when this happens? Trespassing? Dude. Get some Perspective. This is your country and electoral process that NEEDS to be followed. Without that, we're all lost.
all of this has been proven false.
politics has nothing to do with it. We have actual footage of what happened here. It's objectively true that she was justifiably shot.
It was sedition, by law and definition.
Sedition.
Trying to rationalize away the fact that the events of 1/6 were by definition and law, sedition, doesn't make reality go away.
You think you have but you haven't. You don't understand what an investigation is.
I've wasted enough time with you. Best of luck.
