    it’s all a moot point anyways. Biden will be shown the door soon. Whatever your opinion of Trump, Joe is doing a horrendous job a year in. I expect more from a 50-year politician.

    So for Trump supoporters, breaking down barriers, doors and windows is meandering, yet blm is violent.

    Sounds like a good legal defense :)

    That’s your opinion. In my opinion, Biden is 1,000 times better than the last guy.

    Whatever dude. Believe what you want. The approval ratings speak wonders. You can’t even separate Biden from Trump. That’s how you compare them. As a standalone President, Biden is Jimmy Carter bad. In 10-15 years from now, he will be long forgotten while Presidents like Obama, Trump, Bush won’t.

    Mind you, these are the same people who accused Trump of politicizing the justice system! The American Gestapo is what it is, it can no longer in any shape or form be called the department of justice.

    No one is defending these actions. There is a necessity for a politically neutral(better yet, politically irrelevant) department of justice. When the DOJ over charges, specifically to send a message that is a chilling message to citizens in the country and that is precisely the intent and has been the intent of this DOJ from the beginning(FBI sic'd onto parents.) For that incident alone, AG Garland should be impeached and removed from office.

    The Gestapo like tactics in response to 1/6 has us as a less free country, as political speech could be criminalized in the future, depending on how this committee acts.

    Political speech should never be criminalized. If they do things like that they’ll only be adding to the fire. Republicans will take over this committee next year so unless they can push something through their divided ranks I wouldn’t worry about it. They couldn’t even agree what foot the left shoe goes on right now. For being a single party they have no real leaders to bring them together. They’re weak

    The group stationed armed members on the outskirts of Washington to serve as so-called “quick reaction force” teams.

    The Oath Keepers even discussed a naval operation to ferry in guns to the militia. One Oath Keeper, Thomas Caldwell, asked fellow members if anyone had a boat that could handle crossing the Potomac River. “If we had someone standing by at a dock ramp (one near the Pentagon for sure) we could have our Quick Response Team with the heavy weapons standing by, quickly load them and ferry them across the river to our waiting arms,” the documents quoted him as saying.

    Rhodes went on a buying spree in the days leading up to the attack, spending more than $20,000 on guns and equipment for the attack. In December Rhodes bought two pairs of night-vision goggles and a weapons sight for about $7,000 and shipped them to Virginia. In January he spent another $5,000 on a shotgun, scope, magazine, sights, optics, a bipod, a mount, a case of ammunition and gun cleaning supplies. Two days later he spent $6,000 more, and then about $4,500 the next day.

    I don’t like the Guardian, but if these assertions are true, then that group was definitely engaging in seditious activities.

    A quick google search will show that there are numerous sites sharing the very same information.

    I wrote that most of them merely meandered into the Capitol. Some small handful were violent or destructive, and they should be appropriately punished for that. But the vast majority of protesters that day, and even the vast majority of protesters that entered the Capitol, did so non-violently, and AFAICT without any intention of "overthrowing democracy". Do you disagree with that?

    Not sure what he was doing but it seems odd to think that this guy was planning on taking over the US with a shotgun and some expensive accessories.

    You shouldn't talk about other people being embarrassed after the above post. You are spewing propaganda and not even dealing with the reality of the event.

    Note: This is on January 6, prior to the riot.



    Now you know the truth. Please quit sharing things that are demonstrably false. You're welcome for the education.

    Anyone who believes that elections are rigged or who supports a politician who spreads that lie doesn't have a lesson to teach me about the evils of propaganda.

    Get yourself a mirror.

    No, the vast majority of the protesters never entered the Capitol building. Most of them never attacked a cop. Those protesters, which again represent the vast majority of the tens of thousands of people who came to DC that day for a political rally, committed no crimes.

    When you have drop boxes with no chain of custody, millions of unrequested mail in ballots, 90% Legacy News Media coverage negative against one candidate, Big Tech censoring facts that hurt one candidate, changes in laws not approved by State Legislatures that favor one candidate, vote harvesting, etc... you have an un-secure and "rigged" election. For you to not know that Trump called for "Peaceful protests" or that the election may not have been stolen, but was certainly rigged means you are either uninformed, or willfully believing and repeating known false propaganda. Which is it?

    Florida is definitely a hot spot for fraud. It was proven to have affected a local election, but Florida Republicans refused a do over since their guy won.

    Yet, everyday the extremist right sheds crocodile tears because the election was stolen from Trump.

    LOL! Just goes to show how badly our government needs to be overhauled. The DOJ should be gutted and relocated to another state.

    Yes! Yes! A Conspiracy... just like Hunter's Laptop, the diary, the Democrats and Hillary paying for the Steele Dossier, mandates, and endless jabs. Everyone take notice, what this poster did is what Leftists do when they have nothing. He can't dispute what I wrote, so..... "It's a conspiracy". They are not honest.

    There was never any threat to "Democracy" fallacy 2

    No one ever said that all the protesters represented Oath Keepers. Fallacy 3

    The FBI believes the opposite.

    But I know that for you Trumpists, the FBI has been part of the swamp since 2017.
