    You heard me. The whole "storm the capitol" event was staged and Antifa was called in to "play the part"... There are currently efforts for Antifa to do a similar thing again at various State capitols across the country. Hopefully Trump voters do not show up and fall for it.

    Lefty projection once again.

    Appeal to Popularity Fallacy (specifically, a dismissal as "conspiracy theory").

    Nah.

    You are WRONG. Period.
    ^And, Everybody KNOWS that.

    And "Antifa"?

    I heard Bigfoot was the Ringleader.

    Heard it from "some guy on the internet".
    Gotta be true.

    Anyway, back to the OP (and Murkowski), I think it would be a great idea if she switched parties.

    He didn't express anywhere near as much sympathy for violent actors as did Biden/Kamala and the media over the dozens of riots over Floyd. Where was the condemnation of violence as people have been killed or lives ruined inthese "racial" riots the last few months? Trump supporters get point blank executed right out the gate as they tried to join BLM down the path of looting and destruction.

    I'm not even bothered by extremes. I am bothered by the size, cost, incompetence and corruption of the federal government. If government would work for the common good and personal freedom, I would let them be as extreme as they like. A single term limit can fix a lot.

    The left denies everything. You just have to ignore that and enjoy the entertainment. The 2020 riots were way worse than the one last week. Not a single leftie will admit that. Just watch.

    What nonsense are you saying? Trump said to the rioters "We Love you". DIRECTLY to the rioters. Nobody said anything even remotely like that about any rioter during the Floyd protests.

    Have you ever even bothered to try checking reality before you post?

    Maybe he was speaking to his peaceful supporters there. Oh yes, the old most are peaceful protesters out. Why doesn't Trump get to take that route?

    Not at all surprised, she quit the Republican party a long time ago. They call them "Republicans in name only" for a reason.

    This is a central issue today, so it has to be addressed directly.

    Trump repeatedly called for direct action to stop our democratic process.

    His mantra and those of so many Republicns was to "stop the steal".

    This is NOT advocacy of a policy position.

    I IS a call to immediate action - an incitement.

    That immediate action came down to the one action required to block our government from carrying out our democracy.

    And, that was to invade the Capitol and stop congressmen and our vice president from carrying out their constitutional duty.

    We saw the president, his brainless family, Giuliani and others speaking to the crowd of insurrectionists, telling them they needed to marh on the capitol and to "be strong" to "stop the steaal". Giuliani actuall called for violence at one point.

    So, let's just be square abou this central issue:

    Trump incited the criminal acts of January 6.

    There is NO other possible interpretation.

    You’re as accurate with numbers as Trump is. It’s not hard math. It’s called “ counting.” 34-40...???
    A building ? Try several. I bet people who say this stuff were at the head of the Benghazi and the birther movement too.

    Perhaps this is news to you, but Murkowski is a Senator. It's the House that's voted on impeachment today.

    I’d be careful what I wish for. She still voted 74% with Trump. She still believes in the fallacy of trickle down among other things that are fact-less. Republicans who want to leave the party imo, should register as Independents. Imo, it would be better for independents dealing with a convert then having a party. It would also raise her standing among members in both parties.

    Quite right. And because Mitch has refused an early Senate hearing, he is setting Trump up with the new Senate.

    I wonder how the supporters of this coup will react on the day that Trump supporters finally decide to be just as vicious and amoral as the Left? Those that imagine it could never happen are just kidding themselves. These fools seem hell-bent on starting violence in the pursuit of vengeance. Oh well...

    Apparently Nasty Nance isn't planning to send the papers over to the Senate until after Biden's first 100 days.

    Coming from you, there's no feeling. You've lost all credibility on the topic.

    You don't even know the difference between riot and protest. I guess that makes you a tRUMP voter.

    It's a little creepy you hang on my every word. Are you the moth to my light?

    Perhaps you were unaware of this too, but the "new Senate" is already in place. Been that way since January 3rd.

    Now, there will be a bit of a change in a week or two when the two Georgia runoff Senators are sworn in, but the other 98% of the Senate is already there and serving.
