    Yes, Chi-Com McConnell said the president incited riot by repeating lies about voter fraud. This McConnell, whose Chinese wife was given the job of Labor Secretary, is getting his revenge on the millions and millions of Trump voters, and in turn blaming the president for the fact of voter fraud. What a complete loser he is to not realize that he and his never-Trumpers that got the party to this point. When Trump won the presidency in 2016 he also got them the house and senate. They stupidly fail to forget that or ignore it.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday accused President Donald Trump, a fellow Republican, of provoking the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

    “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor.

    The whole world saw what he said and did and what happened after that. McConnell spoke the truth.

    Well sure, if one would sycofantly subscribe to THE MSM Narrative, sure... makes perfect sense. I am concerned about the utter disingenuousness / castigation that is going on here. It is a universal truism that there always has been election fraud. We have multiple agencies set up, at our tax payer expense, to mitigate such... Yet in this "Perfect Storm" scenario of Covid, we have "Nothing to see here folks"...

    There are so many examples of fraud - evidence not seen & adjudicated upon, yet because evidence has not been allowed in the courts, tis not recognized... At some point our Nation will perhaps come to a "reckoning"... We may have several more SCOTUS justices, 2 or 4 US Senators & a "balance" (or lack thereof) of power...

    It is genuinely entertaining to see Trumpers flip on their political allies for the mere crime of making factual statements that make Trump look bad.

    FYI, even the QAnon shaman is blaming trump :)

    https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article248518380.html
    “He took seriously the countless messages of President Trump. He believed in President Trump. Like tens of millions of other Americans, Chansley felt — for the first time in his life — as though his voice was being heard,” Watkins said.

    This thread is not apologizing for Trump or anything. Trump has NOTHING to apologize for. If you are really happy and proud to have a dim-wit puppet as president and a corrupt CA prosecutor as vice-president, then you will have plenty to apologize for. Trump's record speaks for itself, and twitter, msm, cannot change his record. No matter how they will tell you what to think Daniel, President Trump's great achievements will stand. We know how your mob likes to topple statutes, erase history and wear face diapers. The lack of critical thinking in the people that oppose President Trump, including the numbed up republicans, are letting this huge colossal farce take place.

    Are you kidding me right now. True conservatives know McConnell for what he is, and also Lindsay Graham, Cornyn, etc. You just don't get it, do you? President Trump was never a politician, that's why he was elected twice. The majority don't want someone as president that has been in the swamp for 45 years. It's repulsive that you do.

    Why was it necessary to point out Mitch's wife is Chinese? She is an American citizen. Is it like a negative against her or are you questioning Mitch's patriotism and loyalty by marrying her? Is that why you called him Chi-com Mitch? You do realize that Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan which is not even communist China but regardless of where she is born she is currently an American citizen serving her country.

    Why, because he is indebted to China. The left is now defending McConnell, oh, the irony.

    Of course, this is the establishment's way of distancing itself from what the people actually want. The political hacks are only out for themselves.

    The strange thing is you believe that only the left would speak out against your statement.

    You nailed it here, but I will make a small note about the part that I have bolded.

    I absolutely refuse to refer to Biden as a President, due to the Presidential election faulting (due to blatant fraud and a complete disregard for various election laws) in at least six States across the country (I would even say plenty more than those six).

    Instead, I refer to Biden as "Prime Minister of the SOA". As you can also see, I do not refer to this country as the USA anymore (it effectively died on 01/06/2021, and will seemingly officially die on 01/20/2021)... It is now the SOA (Socialist Oligarchy of America). We are now an oligarchy, ruled by Demonkkkrats and RINOs.

    Precisely. I see it all over these boards and elsewhere. It's rather sad to witness...
