When he told them to go home, they immediately left. AND they were all hooked up through Trump's people, like Manafort, Rudy, Flynn and Steve Bannon.

Many have already been convicted of conspiracy.

But you defend everything Trump does.
2,000 rioters entered the building. Maybe 500 were there with the intention of insurrection.
500 is not a large number and thet obviously had no plan of action, no weapons and no leadership either on the ground or central planning beforehand.

They were there at the call of Trump. And he made sure there were hours without any backup arriving.

But oh no, Trump had NOTHING to do with it. And when the DOJ indicts him, you'll say it's all political and they should be in prison for attacking Trump.

Trump completely mishandled the situation and imo did so knowingly.
But, you can't on one hand say and believe that Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks. Then turn around and claim he masterminded a coup.
The maybe 500 people who were at the capital believing they were about ti change our country are being dealt with properly by our DOJ.
The same for the people who got caught uo in the riot and those who were basically looky loos.
At the end of the day you folks on the left are simply trying to make something out of the 6th which simply isn't true. Doing so for political gain.
Our country was never in danger. There was not an organized coup. It was more of a riot than insurrection and those involved are now facing the bar of justice.

Trump worked hard with lots of crooks and lawyers to put it all together. From Jan 6th to fake electors to trying to get states to overturn the will of the people in their states, they conspired to overthrow our government.

And you defend him.

You are good at pissing backwards. You said "show me the conspiracy convictions". When we did, you moved the goalposts.

Even if Trump is indicted and convicted of engineering the coup, you'll say he didn't.

He didn't "mishandle" anything. He did it on purpose.

Your first paragraph us true but is unrelated to the January 6th riot.
We both said he mishandled the events of the 6th on purpose. So on that we agree.
I will l be surprised if Trump is indicted for what occurred on the 6th. But, unlike you I trust the special prosecutor and will support his decision.
Before you go off on the Garland tangent. Nobody saw Garland appointing a SP and I was specifically talking about whether or not he would indict or not indict.
Since Garland handed the ball to the SP I now have the same opinion about whatever he decides. In regards ti indictment.

He didn’t “mishandle” anything. It was all ON PURPOSE.

And there was always a possibility of a Special Prosecutor.

But don’t worry, you’ll take up for Trump - you ALWAYS do.

Sorry, but I linked to articles that talked about it. It was suggested many places because Trump was going to announce as a candidate.

But go ahead, defend Trump.

Proof you always try to downplay Trump’s coup.

The Department of Justice has just arrested the 1,000th insurrectionists, with plans to arrest hundreds more.

Yet you lie and try to downplay it - “maybe 500”

House GOP Chairman Calls It ‘A Mistake’ That Trump Didn't Bomb Meth Labs In Mexico
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) appears to be the only House Republican wishing we had launched a military attack on a longtime U.S. ally.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/james-co ... a42a71bfc7

The House Republican chairman with oversight of border issues said Tuesday that it was “a mistake” that former President Donald Trump didn’t bomb meth labs in Mexico, an idea so extreme that even Trump wouldn’t confirm he reportedly said this behind closed doors.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the new chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends” that it was too bad that Trump didn’t launch a military attack on Mexico, a longtime U.S. ally, to try to stop drug traffickers.

“One of the things we learned post-Trump presidency is that he had ordered a bombing of a couple of fentanyl labs, crystal meth labs, in Mexico, just across the border and for whatever reason, the military didn’t do it,” said Comer. “I think that was a mistake.”

In 2020, Trump allegedly proposed firing missiles into Mexico to his then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who wrote about it in his book, “A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Defense Secretary in Extraordinary Times.” Esper, stunned, said Trump suggested this several times, telling Esper he believed “no one would know it was us” so they could keep it a secret.

[snip][end]

Grand. So we should have invaded a sovereign country, a neighboring U.S. ally, and blown up all the labs there, possibly killing innocent people living nearby. Even Trump was careful not to say this too loudly.

Re. Comer, there's meth labs in trailer parks all throughout your glorious home state of KY. Should we drop bombs on those as well?

Nonbinary Oklahoma lawmaker censured after protest arrest

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Republicans formally censured their nonbinary Democratic colleague Tuesday after state troopers said the lawmaker blocked them from questioning a transgender rights activist accused of assaulting a police officer during a protest over anti-trans legislation.

The party-line vote means Rep. Mauree Turner, who uses they/them pronouns, will be removed from all committee assignments unless the second-term lawmaker issues a formal apology, including to the Highway Patrol, which provides security at the Capitol complex.

Ron DeSantis Calls on Biden to Grant Djokovic Vaccine Exemption Ahead of Miami Open

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is the latest public figure to call on President Joe Biden to make an exemption for Novak Djokovic and let the Serbian tennis star into a tournament in Miami despite not being vaccinated against the coronavirus.

In a letter obtained by NBC News, DeSantis urged Biden to "put pandemic politics aside and give the American people what they want."

Anyone denying this is no different than the 911 truthers, flat earthers or even holocaust deniers. There is a huge pile of evidence, video, arrests and charges. We all watched it on TV. There’s a SC assigned and juries empaneled. Trump is still claiming he won when he’s let it slip and stated otherwise, continuing his coup attempt. Debating with a clown who doesn’t live in reality is utterly pointless.

Go join the dark side Manchin you won’t be missed.

Manchin will vote against Biden’s pick to head IRS

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Wednesday announced he will vote against Daniel Werfel, President Biden’s choice to head the Internal Revenue Service, because he is unhappy with how the Biden administration is implementing the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided nearly $80 billion in new funding for the tax enforcement agency.

Manchin is fuming mad over the administration’s implementation of the generous electric vehicle tax credits that were also included in the sweeping climate and tax reform bill passed last year.

Unfortunately most if not all of my predictions have come true especially the ones about how horrible the Republicans would be But even I did not see people like Boebert and MTG coming.

Trying to remember the nickname for MTG, maggot traitor something.

I remember being scolded for saying Gorsuch would line up with the fascists :lol: , yeah the ONLY prediction I remember making that has not come true to the number was when I said maga would kill 5000 citizens. They only killed a few, so far. But of course more are to come.

Xi awarded 3rd term as China’s president, extending rule

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping was awarded a third five-year term as the nation’s president Friday, putting him on track to stay in power for life at a time of severe economic challenges and rising tensions with the U.S. and others.

The endorsement of Xi’s appointment by the ceremonial National People’s Congress was a foregone conclusion for a leader who has sidelined potential rivals and filled the top ranks of the ruling Communist Party with his supporters since taking power in 2012.

House Republicans refuse to join Democrats in denouncing white supremacy

More than two dozen Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee have refused to join Democrats in signing a letter denouncing white supremacy.

Earlier this week, ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sent a letter to Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) urging Republicans to join him and his fellow Democrats in denouncing “white nationalism and white supremacy in all its forms, including the ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory.”
