And no, the behind-the-sofa comment was pure silliness. Few Presidents in the last 100 years have sustained a political fight like Trump has. Maybe no President since Andrew Johnson or Grant has sustained such unrelenting bad press...Not even Nixon or Hoover.
So why didn't he join the march as he said he would do - you think maybe his bone spurs were playing up?

While it is sometimes okay to look at past incidents for guidance, there is also a strong reason not to do so, and treat each individual incident as a "stand alone" incident.
Does the action of the people on January 6 be excused because of what happened in another city or in another time?
Absolutely not.
But, it does seem like some try to justify the people on January 6 by saying "well, this happened in city X or Y, or this happened here many years ago and nothing was done about them."
Example
My friend stole a pair of clothes from the store in another state. He was caught and had to apologize but was let go.I stole a pair of clothes and got caught and got to jail.
Does it matter that I talk about my friend in another state to justify my crime? No.
The rhetoric is what is disagreed upon. Of course conservatives on this forum are given no credit whatsoever for admitting that the people who violated the Capitol were insane and should be prosecuted. But beyond being given no credit whatsoever for that, they are then accused of essentially defending them, joining them.
It's unfortunate for lots of Trump haters here that they really can't use their words very well.
what is unfortunate, is that none of the conservatives on this forum have the ability to see this event for what it is, and who stirred it into action. Trump should already be in a jail for this alone. I do not envy his future. He's gonna go broke not paying all the lawyers he is going to need in Georgia and NY alone.

You can't kill an American citizen even in a line of duty legal shooting and remain anonymous.
We rather famously killed a US citizen in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
Did they release the name of the drone pilot?
Lot of difference between a military drone strike of a combatant and an officer shooting somebody in the line of duty.

You are very poorly educated on this. This is pretty simple. Read up on Brandenburg vs. Ohio. This established the Brandenburg Standard. Every single criminal lawyer that has commented on this has stated there is not a chance that Trump's speeches and statements pass the Brandenburg Standard.

And that's a red herring. Hoe does whether he was there or not, factor into sonebody else turning violent?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I didn't say it had anything to do with the violence. What it did have was an illumination on his character. He told the crowd he was joining them. Then he went home. He stirred up all the anger amongst the gullible folks there who believed in him, then he fucked off home to watch it on TV and Tweet his usual self-congratulatory bullshit.

There is not a single person in the entire world that doesn't know what he said and what it means.
It does not mean that he is going to walk down the street physically with them.
Not even one person.
Not even the cnn geniuses that pretend to believe they expected him to march to the Capitol.

I disagree. And I detest projectors, for which Trump is one of the biggest. Anyone who still holds an iota of esteem for Trump has cognitive dissonance, and that’s no joke. I’m very sorry for you.

Jolly likes Trump's administrative decisions. Therefore, either Jolly thinks Trump is a good guy who must always be defended, or Jolly thinks it doesn't matter that Trump's a bad guy and will defend him anyway.
Please love yourself.

I think all politicians are bad guys, or they wouldn't be in the biz. I like the majority of Trump's policies. I really like a lot of his judicial appointments.

No, that's not a vote.
I disliked Joe Biden a lot less than I disliked Donald Trump. I'd have voted for Biden in the last election in a flash, and I'd have voted for Hillary in the one before that. Doesn't mean I have to think they're any good.
