I thought that's all it was? That's all I hear from apologists, that it was a mostly peaceful gathering of minds.
There are lies, damn lies and statistics. At least you didn't refute with a statistic.
Even Tucker, admittedly biased, has never said this was a peaceful meeting of the minds, so I really don't know if you actually heard that or invented it out of whole clot. What has been said, repeatedly, is that Trump told the crowd to protest peacefully.
I also wonder about the total lack of curiosity about whether the government, or assets of the government, helped egg on the crowd and created the riot. Epps has become a classic example...He's now shown to be on tape, but he was not arrested or charged...Primarily because it's common knowledge (but as yet unprovable) that he was a government informant.
Maybe the hate or TDS is so strong within much of the population, they simply do not care about dirty deeds or manipulation or denial of evidence in something they have deemed the worst episode in America since Pearl Harbor. Nobody cares about equal justice under the law, people's rights (after all they're
JewsMAGAts). No, nothing matters except a burning desire to punish, cancel or kill (if they could), those people who do not agree with them politically.I understand arresting people and prosecuting them for violations of Federal law. I do not understand sentencing people in a most unfair manner, or using the power of the government to commit lawfare until an individual's resources are depleted and the outcome of a prosecution is assured.

Show me where exactly he did anything to try to prevent more outrage from his base. And then let's compare that to everything he said and did to try ginning it up.
I'm not interested in playing word games and bad-faith interpretations, he made the outrage worse and that was clearly his intent. Plenty of conservatives who disliked the outcome of the election can clearly see that.

I personally don't give a shit because it's not anything new.

It doesn't detract from the fact that the crowd had a choice to not, you know, disrupt a presidential election and make our democracy an international laughing stock.

Funny how the ones who said fuck this and went home weren't even charged with anything.

Why should he? It was a political rally, with the express purpose of trying to put pressure on Congress. I think Trump would have been delighted if 200,000 people would have marched on the Capitol, waiving signs and chanting slogans.
There's a problem with political expression in America? Or only that expression that is allowed?

Oh, but that is a BFD. What if those firestarters were acting on the instructions of their handlers? What if those firestarters were actually Federal agents? And why do you give Shaman four years in prison and let Epps walk?

WTF does that have to do with the price of rice in China?

Bad argument. He successfully antagonized their outrage, and then the outraged crowd expressed their outrage by attacking Capitol Police officers, breaking into the Capitol and disrupting a presidential election.
That has nothing to do with whether or not it's legal to talk publicly about politics in America.

Then get the evidence.

One doesn't have to do with the other. Yeah, that Qanon dipshit should spend many years in prison.

All you're focused on is what the bad liberals did in response to an incident that never had to happen in the first place, if MAGA nutters hadn't broken the law.
Please love yourself.

I remember a number of people here saying the Proud Boys were just a great bunch of guys.
Well, they fucking weren't a great bunch of guys.
You can go on about FBI plots and lack of security all day, but it doesn't make them into a great bunch of guys, any more than it makes Alex Jones into a truth-teller.
I was only joking

Kinda hard to do, when Ax's unbiased committee would release no video or ask any pertinent questions.
I have higher hopes for the GOP led committee...Which, BTW, let the Dems pretty much seat their own members (with a few exceptions, such as Schiff-fer-brains), instead of cherry-picking.

Do tell...No, and I didn't imply that anywhere. I'm just pointing out that what was being said about those particular folk was way off-base.
Obviously, there was a huge mix of people at the protests. Some of them were people with lots of problems. And they brought those problems with them. And some, I assume, were good people.

The gay community has already appropriated the word "proud". Add "boys" to it, and the phrase all but sashays.

You think that’s why they don’t seem to like women?
