Larry answered the question. Nobody paid any attention.

But jon his opinion doesn't matter and is irrelevant because I don't like it.

Everyone thinks it was a big deal, but there’s a bifurcation in the GOP between those with the courage to blame the author of the drama and those who lack it. It is interesting to see which side individuals fall on.

So I take it that henceforth that Rockwell style picture of the past Republican presidents sitting around a table palying cards and laughing will have Trump airbrushed out?

Somehow I cannot see Eisenhower, Ford, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush wanting him at the table.

Living presidents have already condemned him for his actions. But the Democratic ones don't matter because who cares what they have to say anyway, and look, with W, we're going to employ a tu quoque fallacy and point out how hypocritical it is that the left is quoting him now.

See? Now I'm all nice and comfortable again and I don't really have to deal with any of this.

Don't think Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt would be all that impressed with his presence either.

So if you don’t virtue signal in twitter you are suspect? House on unamerican activities committee?

[jon-nyc]

Calling out the President of the United States for inciting an insurrection is virtue signalling?

You guys are wondering if some has-been politicians will love the anti-politician.

They won't.

They are politicians.

I think you are still missing the point of yesterday's exercise.

You and others seem to not know the difference between commenting on (relatively speaking) the biggest threat to the peaceful transfer of power in the country's history and commenting on the abortion beliefs of the people who made your chicken sandwich.

There you go trying to sound smart again with your obscure history stuff.

There you go again with those negative waves, Moriarity.

Of course not and that is not what I said.

I’ll post again. My point is a response to this comment only.

Disingenuous nonsense designed to give him excuses. No different than saying he is occasionally impolite. In reality he is more like rarely, if ever, polite.

The moment your so-called anti-politician took the Oath of Office he ceased to be the anti-politician he might have campaigned as and pretended to be. He then became a politician whether or not he or is base wanted him to be one.

Likewise yesterday, when he rallied his mob and sent them onward to the Capitol Building. He certainly proved himself to be every bit a politician as any past has-been political demagogue that ever walked this planet.
