    I doubt even the stupidity of activists cheering over the like of levering up on Biden to kill Keystone will make way for Trump to get the GOP 2024 nomination.

    Most Americans are sick of this jackass...

    No, thank you. I think everyone knows what I am talking about. "Today's leftists" are sympathetic to the burning of Minneapolis, to antifa in Portland, and to the demonstrations on campuses to squelch conservative speech. Some are active participants in same.

    They hate cops, they hate conservative institutions, they hate traditional standards of excellence, and they hate me because I am white and "privileged." I am happy to reciprocate the feeling.

    Look at Trump's tailored suits, coiffed hair, and perpetually knotted necktie. Think about his ideas of possibly running again and capturing the votes of average Americans.

    Now look at those slobs, and tell me with a straight face that he wants anything to do with them. I'll give you one chance to be honest on this.

    Yes.
    Trump wanted to shut down the election machinery and toss the election into the House by any means necessay.
    Trump took a last, desperate shot at holding on to the White House where he hid while the Capitol violence he promoted took place.

    But you incorrectly include the millions of peaceful protesters in the "leftist" camp. This even though you know most folks at the Trump January 6 rally never rioted at the Capitol and how some liberals are making unfair comments about conservatives.

    LOL. I'm happy to condemn any rioting or injury by conservatives that you can point to here, including the very few idiots who forced their way into the capitol and stayed for a few hours. Not sure they were exactly conservative. As pointed out, true conservatives don't riot.

    How much property damage did even the worst of them cause? I'm serious, I'd like to know this figure, and I will call on them to personally reimburse the government and apologize on their hands and knees to a televised national audience. I guarantee you the OMB has calculated the damage and submitted claims to the government's insurers.

    The trouble is, seriously, that your side will not make any equivalent demands of the looters and arsonists in Madison, Philly, NY, Chicago, Portland and Oakland. Heck, you JUSTIFY it or at least raionalize it.

    You know why? Because someone will call you a racist and then you'll shrivel like a spider on a hot stove.

    You really are naïve about Trump.

    You cannot "know" what is in a person's mind unless he articulates it. Trump never called, even implicitly, for anyone to enter the Capitol, and then he told them to stop.his advisors report that he was embarrassed.

    You really are cynical about Trump. What political mileage do you think he got, or even thinks he got, out of January 6? Whatever else he is, he is a capitalist and property owner, not an anarchist.

    And I'm still waiting on some recent examples of conservative rioting that I can condemn. And I repeat that I will happily do so.

    Very, very few will explicitly condemn rioting if done in the name of "social justice". Most of them "understand" it. (I do not.) Too many are happy to contribute to bail funds to spring rioters from jail.

    Please don't pretend not to know what I am talking about here.

    Really? Any means? You think Trump thought that "if my horned, animal-skin wearing idiots can just get in there and kill the electors, I'll be President!" Did he call out the military as well, like any real fascist would have done?

    As long as you actually identify and refer to the perps, I'm with you. But you gave every impression of casting your next to Democrats generally.
    True of the perps.
    What is a "conservative institution?"
    Huh? What are you talking about?
    No, most of the perps are white people.
    Okay.

    The people who attacked the Capitol are thugs, not conservatives. Likewise, Antifa are thugs, not liberals.

    He hoped. It was his plan to so disrupt the process the election would be tossed into the House where each state has a vote.
    Yes. Stopping the process was his last hope.
    I doubt he wanted a dead cop.

    He set them on the Capitol with the intention of disrupting the final step in the election process.

    He wanted to disrupt the election process.
    Conservatives and liberals don't riot, so your wait continues.

    The military made it clear they wouldn't help Trump.
