    Oh yeah, entering through unguarded and unlocked doors looks exactly like "storming".

    Standing in front of gates versus hacking at doors, tearing down barriers and breaking windows to gain entrance does seem a little different. entering Capitol

    That should be so self evident but you got a ton of people who are constantly asking us to ignore reality.

    Why is it "self evident" what exactly the idiotic mob did? It's not "self evident", only evident by evidence. I admit that that footage Kluurs shared looks more like storming than I had in mind.

    Presumably, the baby-eating cabal funded by George Soros has doctored all the photos.

    There's no shortage of histrionic rhetoric around the Jan 6 Capitol invasion that purports to be self-evident, but is only TDS service or more basic anti-Republican service. My bad for objecting to "storming", which is a fair word. The idiotic mob stormed the unlocked and nearly unguarded Capitol, and it dealt a severe blow to any political objective they may ever have had.

    The fact that the inept, incompetent, and frankly quite bizarre group of people who gathered under Trump's banner were such a useless bunch of morons, shouldn't detract from what, in their clearly quite delusional way, they were trying to achieve.

    What do you suppose they were trying to achieve? I suppose their goals were as clear as a child throwing a temper tantrum.

    Ask the the child throwing a temper tantrum who was egging them on.

    His goal wasn't to have idiots illegally storming through the unlocked and nearly unguarded Capitol. I know millions of people think he's an insane imbecile, but I don't think he had such an insane and imbecilic goal.

    Other than taking more money off gullible idiots, what was his goal?

      He can't accept losing and was whining about how unfair it was, to sympathetic ears. Creating his own social bubble in which he didn't really lose.

        So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

        Because if an election's unfair, obviously the most natural thing to do is to go to the Capitol to provide pride and boldness.

              Pretty sure I read opposition to that here somewhere. 89th was raked over the coals for suggesting it.

                            I'm pretty sure that Trump denies any responsibility for what happened, so therefore so do his most avid supporters.

                            Also, Kevin McCarthy says Trump didn't provoke them. If I could be bothered, I'm sure we'd find a lot more examples.

                                        It's obvious to you and me. Not everybody agrees.

                                        Then again, Jewish space lasers. Some pretty loose wigs out there.

                                        It's not clear to me who would deny that "the emotion of the mob was about election theft, an idea propagated mostly by Trump".

                                        I'm pretty sure that Trump denies any responsibility for what happened, so therefore so do his most avid supporters.

                                        Also, Kevin McCarthy says Trump didn't provoke them. If I could be bothered, I'm sure we'd find a lot more examples.

                                        That's all a war of rhetoric, where one chooses which words to mince or not. The mob believed a thing that Trump said (and said, and said), got emotional about it, and did something incredibly stupid, illegal, self-defeating, and absurdly easy.

                                        So, weasel words. Clearly Trump should take some responsibility for what happened. That should be obvious to anybody.

                                        Sure, and anybody who believes and propagates the fictitious BLM narrative that incited violent mobs to take over neighborhoods, should take some responsibility for that, too.

                                        Trump did a bit more than just believe and propogate. He invented the narrative in the first place. He went on about it for months, he actually prepared the ground prior to the election. He presumably paid other people who work for him do the same, and he organized a protest. He then told a crowd to march on the Capitol.

                                        He didn't just make a few posts online - he was central to the motivation behind the conspiracy theory.

                                        You can try and minimise this all you like, but it's pretty obvious what happened.

                                        I was only joking

                                          Yeah I'd be interested in hearing this, too.

                                          He can't accept losing and was whining about how unfair it was, to sympathetic ears. Creating his own social bubble in which he didn't really lose.

                                          So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

                                          Because if an election's unfair, obviously the most natural thing to do is to go to the Capitol to provide pride and boldness.

                                          His rhetoric certainly contributed to the reckless idiots who stormed the Capitol. I don't think anybody is denying that.

                                          I will.

                                          There is no advocating violence in any of his statements. There is a call to exert political pressure. And how do you do that? Through peaceful, but very loud protest.

                                          Is there some unwritten law among leftist idiots, that only people who are leftists/socialists/communists who hate America are allowed to protest and attempt to influence politicians?

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
