    No. That's ONE cop who is complicit in a crime. But if you watch only that and just assume that's the whole story, so you turn to the Disney channel... what you describe most definitely IS Alice in Wonderland.

    It went on for night after night and the rioters even took over part of a city. The liberal city leaders did nothing while the liberal media made excuses. It was all right there on my large screen TV.

    You seem to say that the OP is imposing something you do not believe....
    If the statement below is not accurate in your view....
    "This was a riot about race and power. If there was economic anxiety, it was spurred by the rioters’ false notion that their place in the world is under threat."

    then what in your opinion was the riot about?

    How do you know that a "very large % of the audience and the revolting mob in the capitol were known racist fascist white nationalist/supremacist, Qanon batshit crazies?" Do you have polling on the participants?

    Oh I don't know, just watching the videos and seeing it unfold in real time and then theres all the social media postings, and criminal charges and the nation wide man hunt, but I did notice intermixed with the racist fascist white nationalist/supremacist, Qanon batshit crazies, were any number of self entitled privileged white people who were there solely on the strength of the Big Lie and Trump et.al.s immediate incitement.

    But hey, I can totally understand how there should first be an investigation into the lack of investigation into the massive voter fraud at the heart of the insurrection, before you can make any assessment about how many truly scumbag lowlifes were masquerading as patriotic americans.

    so that is your justifcation for desecration of the Capitol.

    People, including many professionals, have told me repeatedly that accepting a spectacularly infantile false equivalency as justication for a truly atrocious inexcusable act points to serious emotional and intellectual deficiencies. I don't know, what do you think?

    The Capitol Police are under the Capitol Police Board and about 2 levels down from direct connection with any part of either Congressional Chamber. Nancy Pelosi would likely not be informed at all of anything the FBI knew.

    I think it is certainly fair game to discuss "died with Wuhan Corona" vs. "Died from Wuhan Corona."

    Um.......this isn't my thesis.

    I gave my opinion in the second post.

    The "I'm trying to be the smartest guy in the room act" doesnt look good on you.....

    So you really don't know anything, you were simply being insulting.

    No idea what you're talking about. What I'm talking about happened on January 6. Though they might attempt to repeat it.

    By "night after night" I'm assuming you mean they kept showing re-runs of Alice in Wonderland.

    That even a single COVID1984 death, or ordinary deaths allocated to COVID1984 for $$ and political gain, were caused by Trump is a lie. Red herring also, anticipated that by the slanted, infantile nature of the OP post.

    You need to find out how you can help your president get out of the sh** that he's in since he's set the office of the President's bar so low.

    You have such praise and admiration for him. Go on smart guy, get to work.

    Intellectually it's equivalent to the empty calories of a jelly doughnut.

    Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how suddenly the liberals and the media now want rioters charged with a crime? And now the liberals and the media are all for police and guns and bringing in the Guard. Anyone notice the media is not giving us the story every night of the lady being shot while climbing through a window at the capitol. Only liberals and the media can do a 180 so quickly and tell you how smart they are. They want the Capitol rioters locked up while releasing prisoners who are serving time for all sorts of crime. Liberals and the media remind me of the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz -- "If only they had a brain".

    No, I'm being open and honest and vocal about my deep seated animus against fascist racist white nationalist/supremacists and Idiot QAnon batshit crazies.

    As to the % of them in the mob that invaded the Capitol, you can quibble about whether it was small or large, but there is not escaping the evidence of their prominance.

    But I totally understand how you have to focus on something as minor as how many lowlifes were in the crowd. Considering the entire mob that entered the capitol either by window or open door was engaged in federal criminal offenses, I should think you'd be more focussed on the CRIME and the bullshit that motivated it.

    Why are you in such a hurry to change the subject? I'm still trying to figure out what Trump's speech had to do with Trump supporters main issue being the economy. I know I know, you just post opinion pieces, you don't understand them, but it seems like someone might have wrote a pretty dumb article that you seem to think is some smart opinionating, even though you don't even claim to understand it.

    I've already posted my thoughts on the crimes involved, but since that doesn't seem to have to do with this thread or your previous posts in this thread, I'm unclear how your charge of "fascist racist white nationalist/supremacists and Idiot QAnon batshit crazies" can be demonstrated. And you do lose points for using the term "fascist." Even though they don't seem to have anything to do with the Capitol Hill Riot, there actually are such things as White Nationalists/Supremacists and Qanon crazies. But what their seems to be a lack of are 21st Century fascists. What country is currently fascist? Anyone using that term except in a historical context, strikes me as uneducated.

    I am totally not surprised that my understanding of fascism might seem uneducated to the uneducated and those who choose to ignore all the warning signs. Over the decades, I have become intimately familar with nazis and the rise of America First Fascism in America in the 30's and the american network of holocaust deniers, white supremacists, neo nazis and the rest of the scumbags that peddle jew hating holocaust denial and black/brown inferiority.

    Now we can quibble about how fascist the far right is as measured by the 14 characteristics of fascism, but something tells me you are unaware of this rather widely accepted concensus of historians and political scientists. I realize any resemblance to trumpism is merely coincidental, but is entirely sufficient to attract the right wing fringes where the nazis live in support. Not that their participation in anyway taints the pure ideals of the cult of Trump.

    As to my certainty of the significant participation of these fascist racist white nationalist/supremacists" and the QAnon crazies. look no further than the list of current arrests. Examine the videos and images. Listen to the on sight interviews.
