    Trump apologists ridiculing police attempting to defend the nation against a goon attack is repugnant to decent Americans.

    Even quite a few of the Loser's chronic apologists don't have the stomach to endure his blatant lie that he won the election in a "Landslide!", or pretend that he was not responsible for the goons attacking the Capitol.

    "The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people."
    Senator Mitch McConnell (R)
    [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...mes-trump-for-deadly-capitol-riot/ar-BB1cTsVA]


    “The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters”
    Representative Kevin McCarthy (R)
    [McCarthy says Trump ‘bears responsibility’ for Capitol riot]


    "When it comes to accountability, the president needs to understand that his actions were the problem, not the solution,. It breaks my heart that my friend, a president of consequence, would allow yesterday to happen and it will be a major part of his presidency."
    Senator Lindsey Graham (R)

    "I have said that what President Trump did that day was inexcusable because in his speech he encouraged the mob, and that he bears some responsibility for the tragic violence that occurred. .. some of the language in his tweets and in a video showed sympathy for the violent mob."
    Senator Rob Portman (R)


    "Make no mistake: I condemn the horrific violence that engulfed the Capitol on January 6. I also condemn former President Trump's poor judgment in calling a rally on that day, and his actions and inactions when it turned into a riot."
    Senator Dan Sullivan (R)


    "I think it was irresponsible to encourage people with the false notion that the election could be overturned."
    Senator Rand Paul (R)


    "The president's language and rhetoric often goes too far. I think, yesterday in particular, the president's language and rhetoric crossed the line and it was reckless."
    Senator Rafael Cruz (R)


    "It's past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence."
    Senator Tom Cotton (R)


    "No one can condone the horrific violence that occurred on January 6, 2021–or President Trump's words, actions, and omissions on that day. I certainly do not."
    Senator Mike Lee (R)


    "As the leader of the nation, the president bears some responsibility for the actions that he inspires — good or bad. Sadly, yesterday he displayed poor leadership in his words and actions, and he must take responsibility."
    Senator Chuck Grassley (R)


    "The president did not display good leadership, and I do think he bears some responsibility for what happened."
    Senator Jodi Ernst (R)


    "If anything [Trump] urged, in a very emotional situation, very inappropriate action by people that appear to be his supporters."
    Senator Mike Rounds (R)


    "What happened on January 6 threatened our foundational transfer of power and the actions were an embarrassment to our country and everything that we stand for. The actions and reactions of President Trump were disgraceful, and history will judge him harshly."
    Senator Shelly Moore Capito (R)


    “I think the president's decisions and his actions that day and leading up to that day on this topic were clearly reckless."
    Senator Roy Bunt (R}


    "President Trump was wrong to continue to spread allegations of widespread fraud and not immediately discourage the reprehensible and unpatriotic behavior."
    Senator Jerry Moran (R)


    "I think most would have a lot of trouble saying there was no connection" between Trump's behavior and the deadly attack on the Capitol.
    Senator Mike Braun (R)


    "The call to march, and to, you know, march down to the Capitol, it was inciting. It was pouring fuel on a spark…”
    Senator Kevin Cramer (R)

    I don't think any of those Repubs want the Orange Insurrectionist to run again..........for all the obvious reasons. But if he does I very much doubt any of them will have the courage of their convictions, like Liz Cheney, and oppose his candidacy. They'd vote for Putin if it meant getting control of the WH.

    Still, their remarks deserve to be entered into the official record of any Congressional inquiry into the goon attack upon democracy.

    I expect the Cry Baby Loser's running amidst his imminent civil and criminal trials is yet another delusion, but it's one that inflicts paralysis on much of the GOP.

    This is the internet champ. No proof, just opinions. However there are law enforcement agencies gathering evidence right now who will produce it in court soon.

    LOL Y'know Georgia's Secretary of State reffered 36 cases of voter fraud for criminal prosecution right? MSM hasn't sensationalized it, because it does vindicate those that claimed an audit was appropriate. What's apparent is that you need to find alot more legitimate cases of voter fraud, than you do suspected cases of police misconduct for the MSM to claim the problem is "widespread" or "systemic".

    Yeah Trump supporters thought so much of him they "cancelled" him.
    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/28/georgia-secretary-of-state-gop-478251

    Let alone he defended the certification in GA
    https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/05/politics/raffensperger-georgia-bad-data-cnntv/index.html
    "We have the numbers on our side, and that's why we had our press conference. We showed that of, I think there's 10,000 dead voters, he said -- we had two," Raffensperger continued. "We had no underage voting at all in the state of Georgia; everyone was 18 during that election. He just has bad data, and when you have good data, you know that you can stand by your results, and our results were accurate."

    Raffensperger just needed to be cancelled, and Fulton county obviously agrees. They've just started an audit not trusting anything to his assessment. Raffensperger's "audit" barely ranks as one, he essentially just recounted.

    That was not peaceful during the Kavanaugh hearings, they were screaming and yelling and chasing members, some trapped in their offices and elevators and they had to stop the proceedings which is the complaint about Jan 9. At the WH over 60 law enforcement were injured, a church, a national historical site, was set on fire. At the SCOTUS were it not for the heavier doors and better security Schumer would have led the crowd in disrupting those procedures. And ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY we have seen the violence and destruction and anarchy and insurrection. It ALL needs to be investigated.

    That's what Trump supporters do, if anyone goes against Trump, remove them. That way, reality doesn't have to be :)

    I like NPR radio they have lots of good shows. But every time I tune these days it seems I'm being blasted by how evil white people are. Now this 100 year old Tulsa story. It's gotten where I can't listen to NPR any more. It's affecting my self pride in a negative way. But then maybe that's their point.

    One story for two weeks before the 100th anniversary of Tulsa and two weeks after. It gets old. Pretty sure they're still airing it.

    Republicans do this, too. Their list is just much more specific (and absurd):

    There’s plenty real evidence of democrat members of Congress supporting and bailing out BLM and Antifa domestic terrorists all spring summer and fall last year.

    Because thinking somebody stole 100,000 ballots out of the mail, forged them all, and nobody noticed, is batshit insane. That's why.

    When are you guys going to stop clinging to Trump like a comfort blanket? Trump wasn't the only one who voiced concerns, and because Raffensperger opted to recount VS audit he was harshly critized. The only reason the 2020 fraud cases surfaced was because Stacey Abrams / Raphael Warnocks PAC was still being investigated for fraud that occurred in 2018. Look at my avatar. Georgia might as well have named the new voting regulation bill the Stacey Abrams act. :roflol:

    Then why is a signature verification audit such a problem for the democrats to allow?

    Your desperate, hyper-partisan attempt at diversion fails.

    "Oh, yeah!
    Well, what about...?"
    If can can document any instances comparable to Trump's goons directly attacking Congress to prevent America's democratic process from taking place, you can initiate a thread concerning that topic.

    I am unaware of even remote equivalencies to this violent assault upon our government, nor of officeholders in any way endorsing such violence.
