    It looks serious enough that these Oath Keepers are going to jail.... for sedition.

    They will be out fairly quickly asa sedition is clearly an over charge for the sake of show.

    Sure.

    Except that not so long ago, the 1/6 was supposedly only a nothingburger because no one had been accused of sedition....

    Today, you need to move the goal post.

    And it makes me laugh.

    So you accept that But den was the legitimate winner of an election untainted by fraud (at least on a scale that would have affected the outcome)?

    No...that election will be forever tainted by fraud, but, that can end now with Republican legislatures enacting election integrity laws. The Virginia governor’s race was a sign of things to come.

    yep, these Trump supporters were stupid, many criminals are

    because a bank robber tries to rob a bank with a toy gun or even his finger, doesn't mean he did not try to rob a bank

    fact is, they tried to obstruct Biden from taking office via force

    they could of protested like the people outside did, but no, they chose what they choose

    No one was trying to overthrow the government. We aren’t quite outraged enough yet, but it won’t take much more.

    Seeing what ByDumb has done in one year, the only thing proven here is destructive bias. Although in ByDumbs defense, he is to braindead to have master minded this year of failure, this shitshow fall squarely in the laps of ALL THOSE mutts the leftist have elected to represent them.. ByDumb just seems to be par the course for todays uber misinformed star gazers ;)

    Tainted by fraud … :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    Only in the minds of those who have been conned by the big lie. And much of the “election security” that you are talking about is
    - making it harder for citizens to vote, and
    -making it easier for Republican states to ignore the will of the people if they don’t like the result.

    That’s what I believe. I truly believe that most people in this country are true idiots and voted for him. Yes, I do.

    Well good for you. At least you have not been conned by the big lie, as so many other trump supporters have.
    Of course it is an insult to say that anyone who voted for Biden is an idiot, just as it would be an insult for me to say the same about anyone who voted for trump.

    I still think there was a lot of fishy stuff going on though. Around midnight, Trump had a fat lead in literally almost every state left on the map… Tue election freezes… 4-5 hours later, Biden flips them all. You can’t argue that that looks off.

    And without firing a single shot. I hope something like this never happens again. It’s disgusting and those who breached the capital deserve what they get. They’re morons.

    However, I still don’t believe they had intent to try and overthrow a country. They definitely had a voice they wanted heard but it was not peaceful and therefore illegal. We shouldn’t defend these actions.

    As I recall, that was predicted. All based on mail-in votes and when they were counted. Some states counted them early, some states counted them late.
    I recall watching the election coverage in Florida when Biden had a big lead, but the talking heads kept saying that they predicted it would change significantly. Which it did.

    Some of these things might look “off” because we don’t fully understand how the process works, and because the process is different from state to state.

    But election observers, poll workers, state authorities all accepted and eventually certified the results.

    There is no evidence of widespread fraud. The only problem is that Mr. small hands / small ***** / thin skin / huge ego / crybaby (aka dirty donny bonespurs) can’t accept that he lost. Boo ****ing Hoo.

    You put words in my mouth lol. I have neve removed the goal post. I don’t care who is accused of what, or irrationally charges with what. The evidence is clear. It’s a nothing burger and these people will be free quickly anyways. It’s a no issue. The fiery but mostly peaceful protest isn’t hitting like dems wanted.

    I would wager that if that had happened visa-versa, you would be screaming fraud. Nothing like a good hypocrite.

    You would wager wrong. And there’s nothing like calling someone names and making assumptions about them, without any evidence. You guys are good at that.

    I remember reading an article a few days or weeks before the election. It pointed out that different states had different processes for counting mail-in ballots. Based on what they knew about the registration of voters etc. and when mail-in ballots were going to be counted (when they came in, on election night or after the in-person ballots were counted etc.) they predicted that certain states were likely to show early for Biden but would change to trump, and others would do the reverse. And that’s what happened.

    As an example, Florida showed Biden with an early and generous lead, but later votes went to trump. Just like predicted. And I’m not crying fraud about it.
