    I’m not defending them, I’m pointing out the left is now on the receiving end of what they gave for years. Seeing them all the sudden be hypocrites and have an issue with civil disobedience is astoundingly unsurprising.

    It is becoming clear that Trump will have to be "Involuntarily Extracted" on the 20th.

    Oh, yeah. A felony. It looks like the insurrectionists, who thought to take over the government, will now have their voting rights taken away.

    Incorrect, my previous statement stands despite this misrepresentation.

    I haven't seen anybody defending their actions.

    I'm sure there are a few, but unlike the riots over the summer, these events are unanimously condemned.

    Stop your whataboutism bullshit and just call it what it is.

    That’s not going to happen. It’s not insurrection, from an objective point of view.

    Nope, zero percent chance. The House could certainly vote for impeachment, but there's no way they get a conviction in the Senate.

    Trump wasn't right.
    He was far-right.
    Now he is done.

    With Merrick Garland as the new AG and the need to makes examples of some of these felons, they'll be busting rocks in a federal pen. for years.

    As they should be. Trump supporters may not respect the law, but they rest of us do.

    There is every reason to believe that the election was stolen. If the RP/DP leaders thought that it was a free and fair election they would have held public hearings and proved it.

    Incorrect.

    The far left are the only ones who think this.

    Well, it's just so good that the US can now join the likes of Argentina and Venezuela and a dozen other third world countries where citizens have
    attacked their own capitol building ... such a proud moment for the Trump crowd ... congratulations.

    It isn't "Half The Nation". :roflol:
    Not even close.
    Quit posting Bullcrap.:bored:

    The 74 Million who voted for Trump comprise 22.5% of the Population.

    People pushing that crap would be lucky IF it was 1/4 of America who actually believed that Ridiculous Tinfoil Hat Fantasy.

    "half the nation"? :roflol: :bored:

    Perhaps dems should have condemned this type of behavior when it was their own doing it.

    They didnt.

    Now, they are getting what they gave. This was completely unsurprising.

    This is not civil disobedience, an act that is usually seen as noble. Civil disobedience is about violating a law in order to draw attention to the injustice of it. Were these terrorists trying to draw attention to sedition laws? Trying to call this civil disobedience is, indeed, an attempt to defend it.

    NO. There Isn't.

    That sounds like a fun game, though?

    Can I Play?

    There is every reason to believe that Bigfoot Exists...
    There is every reason to believe that 2+2=5...
    There is every reason to believe that The Earth is Flat...

    Got any more?

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. Reports are that Pence is who mobilized the NG. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump is effectively isolated. It could be made official immediately after counting the votes.

    Twitter is ready to shut him down. They will, as Trump won't heed the warning.

    This is absolutely civil disobedience. Most simply wondered around.

    Mostly peaceful to.

    Dems threatened the core of our democracy by refusing to condemn the murder and violence of antifa/Blm. They refused to condemn when right of center personalities had their homes attacked. When they claimed anyone who disagreed with them deserved it.

    Now they are dealing with what they created.

    Be prepared for images of the Summer protests. The RW can never defend their actions without invoking whataboutism.
