Rep. Gaetz Lays Out 'Fedsurrection' Scheme; GOP Denounces Jan. 6

As expected, the need to minimize to justify is obvious. A defense mechanism(?) but that's above my paygrade. The bolded was all that needed to be said as the rest is the same whataboutisms spun differently. This is it in a nutshell:
The Jan 6th insurrection was an attack on the US Constitution while the BLM riots simply were not.

 

We all know what this was - a protest that got out of hand
Much like democrats storming the capital in 2011 to stop a vote and much like democrats storming capital in 2018 against kavanaugh
Now that the spin has been laid out, democrats will never admit what this really is and I would not either of I were them
If you have a weapon then use it!
I hope republicans learn something from this
Being the party of morals, values and human decency doesn’t equal winning

 

Can y'all point out anyone being prosecuted for "insurrection"? Y'all got January 6th.....we'uns got July 4th!

 

An opinion for sure. Not at all foundational fact however. And as noted, there are a lot of concerning oversights contained within your statement. If it makes you feel better that those folks and both state and federal government properties not be acknowledged I can certainly see why you must. It entirely undermines your otherwise perfectly crafter talking point. And isn't that a hoot.

 

My post is entirely factual. Dirty donny bonespurs tried to stay in power even after all the states certified the results and their electors voted. His last ditch attempt was on 1/6 when he incited a mob to storm the Capitol in an effort to prevent the EC votes from being certified.

Yeah, he and his supporters tried to tear up the Constitution. Own it.

 

LOL... you must really hate Stacey Abrams then...

 

Why would you say that?

 

Keep trying with the spin but it's still spin.
Here it is again, unspun and unvarnished:
The Jan 6th insurrection was an attack on the US Constitution while the BLM riots simply were not.

 

Is so cute that you think the Republican Party even cares about "morals, values, and human decency" after they
literally elected the poster boy for the Seven Deadly Sins as President.

 

Sorry, dude - but the attack on the Capitol on Jan 6th, was an attempt to interfere with the peaceful transition of power as laid out in
the Constitution - there is simply no other way to look at it. Period. End of story.

 

The fact you don't recognize your statement as spin says all anyone needs to know about your post. Got it.

 

So an attack on a Hawaii naval base is an attack on America.
But an attack on the USA Capital during the certification of a USA presidential election process is not considered an attack on America by some?

I'd say the attempt to over throw a USA democratic process of selecting the USA president is as serious as an attack on a Naval Base in Hawaii.

 

Hmm.. so you'd agree then that say when the Kavanaugh hearings were disrupted, that was also an attack on the constitutional operations of the federal government. And we have a lot of other examples should you need them. Were you also of a mind that when the violence happened in Jan of 2017 that those crowds who violently protested the inauguration of President Trump were also similarly then an attempt at interference with the peaceful transition of power? You built your own corner.

 

I'll repeat again my sentence that is simple fact unspun and unvarnished:
The Jan 6th insurrection was an attack on the US Constitution while the BLM riots simply were not.

 

When liberal protesters tried to sack Washington DC during the Trump inauguration, you defended them. Like their attack wasn't anything more than spirited protesting. And now, you've changed your story. It doesn't bode well for your credibility.

 

Bolding the text and screaming isn't making your case any more factual or compelling. Your basic assumption is wrong, is not factual, and begs being ignored at this point.

 

So you simply can't counter the point made so I'll make it again:
The Jan 6th insurrection was an attack on the US Constitution while the BLM riots simply were not.

 

Where did I say it was OK for liberals or conservatives or anyone to "sack" Washington DC?

 

The comment wasn't directed at you. Feel free to comment then on the behavior of those liberal protesters who violently protested in Jan of 2017 at the inauguration.

 

Never understand why posters feel the need to fabricate a post and make ad hom attacks and never address the actual topic.
I guess they don't have anything relevant to say.
Which is why some have no credibility. They only do false ad homs.

 

Make a thread and link to your topic and don't derail every thread you enter.

 

You're trying to avoid the subject.
ANY violent protesters are a-holes. You're just too wrapped up in Party Politics to admit that the Jan 6th attack was designed to interfere
with the Constitutionally mandated peaceful transfer of power, so you try to change the subject.

 

The issue is that I don't think the protest was designed to do anything other than the stated purpose which was to protest that democrats in power used their power to ignore what many of the country believe were both irregularities and out right illegal acts of democrats in the election. A protest like that doesn't have the ability to effect or in any way preclude the peaceful transition of power. Regardless of the outcome. You know that is true, so why keep insisting on framing the conversation in such a non logical or sensible way?You sound much like the CCP after Tienamen square. Are you so afraid of your own people?

 

Very convenient to ignore the rest of my posts and single out just that part
In some circles this is called “denial”
Which I also think is cute

 

Since when does being incompetent in committing a crime excuse you as to doing it?

"Your honor my clients admit they attempted to the bank but they had no guns and got nothing but the die pack, which exploded and colored them all blue before they even left the bank. Their getaway car was an Uber that was 10 minutes late. One guard did die but he had a heart attack and died from laughing so hard. I submit we should just let them go."

They didn't just "walk in" they overwhelmed guards with sheer numbers and terrified all the Congresspeople. They vandalized offices, stole furniture and smeared feces on the walls. One group had packs of wire cuffs and they built a perfectly functional gallows to hang Mike Pence. This wasn't a tour.
