    OK, so all those Nazis, right-wing extremists, white supremacists, QAnon nut jobs, and assorted deplorables who tried to overturn the elections on 1/6/2021 were full of bravado and kept saying they would be back with arms, today. Fast forward to today, and when faced to a real force, the National Guard, these cowards are no longer as brave, huh? They didn't show up...

    Oh, but they did organize at least one protest. Attended by numerous, right? Huh, no... ONE person. LOL. And another nut job he is, to boot.

    I dunno, it looked like a pretty violent and destructive inauguration to me.

    Guess the bravado goes out the window when they can’t rely on a pardon from Dear Leader.

    I guess this thread answers your question in another thread where you asked how big the Qannon this is.
    Now you know. ;)

    So, it means, all the bravado this time was done by cowards, right? Glad that you agree.

    No, it doesn't answer how big they are. It does answer how cowardly they are.

    Exactly... they got arrested, lost their jobs, and Dear Leader actually turned against them and denounced them, strong-armed by his lawyer who said he'd face liability if he didn't... And after Dear Leader said he wouldn't allow anybody to mistreat them, again his lawyer, acolytes, and other members of the family dissuaded him from issuing pardons to the insurrectionists, as it would be very bad for his Senate trial, and other potential prosecution and liability.

    Trump is never one who hesitates in throwing his loyal fans under the bus when it's convenient for him. I hope they learned a lesson today. At the stroke of 12 noon, no pardons for them... some of them are facing 20+ years in prison.

    Oh, so they are cowards if they don’t attack the capitol/government?
    Damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

    OP, you seem disappointed that there wasn't violence today.

    Or it was a bs claim from the word go. So they could make it look like Bide wasn't speaking mostly to empty pavement.

    Not a problem. The protester couldn't have gotten past 25,000 soliders

    The 6th leads me to believe there may have been something to it.

    What "bravado"? You're not making any sense.I don't see any violence and arson and destruction at the inauguration today like there was at the last inauguration.

    Can you provide links to the "bravado" you're seeing today?

    Why didn't they arrest all the troublemakers at the last inauguration?

    To be fair, some of them are really big.

    No, they are cowards when they attack a small and unprepared force, and scurry out in fear when there is a real force there.

    Oh, you didn't see all the chatter about 1 million people marching on Washington DC today, armed to the teeth? How cute. I don't need to post it. It's been posted by a fellow poster. Look up the posting history of @Grey Matter - he provided plenty of examples of the chatter, complete with screen shots.

    They weren't Republicans and they didn't need an excuse to shut down free speech.

    And the leftists riot mobs that have been rampaging from coast to coast in large force over for a year now for over a year now are what? Prepared and brave? And that makes them somehow noble, and better?

    Is that how that works?

    If the right wing kooks are so cowardly and unprepared and incompetent, then why are we pretending like they're huge threat, and why did we call out the Army in huge and expensive force against them?

    It seems that mixed messages are being sent.

    No idea. I never supported any rioting mobs of any kind and I'm not a leftist. Go complain to them. I'm decisively anti-Trump and I profoundly dislike neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and extreme right-wing nut jobs, but that doesn't make of me a leftist (I'm sure you'll have some trouble understanding the concept, but that's OK, I wouldn't expect you to understand anyway, so go ahead and keep thinking that I'm a leftist if it comforts you). And by the way, two wrongs don't make a right, so the riots you're referring to, which were wrong, don't make the riots on 1/6/21 right.

    It doesn't even make you curious as to why there's such an inordinate response to right wing Vs left wing rioting mobs, when the left wing mobs are clearly far more dangerous and destructive?
