    I'm a big law and order guy. Very conservative. You must have meant this for someone else.

    You can't troll harder than by excusing terrorism by claiming that the targets of the terrorism were unpopular.

    "Trump should not have held that rally this morning. Even though he told them to all go home afterwards, it was inciteful. He should go on TV right now and denounce and tell them to go home. The mostly peaceful protestors should go home. Any of them who can be identified committed a crime arrested and prosecuted. This is NOT how free speech and petitioning the government works."

    What are you missing here? Stop with the fallacious claims about my position.

    And yes I know how to search which pulled up 4 instances going back to 2018 and they were lightweight at that.

    Something about a group of people who injure security guards and break through windows to force their way into the capital building while wielding guns, pipe bombs, and nooses doesn't seem like peaceful protesters to me. I don't want to say it's terrorism per se, but I think it's gone beyond the point of them merely being protesters

    Notice how Trump DELIBERATELY made it worse by telling his animals that the election was crooked....instead of calming things and telling them to go home he deliberately incited those WHITE folks...

    I asked if you could do so without changing the subject to the left. Try reading the rest of your own post. Is this too much to ask?

    What did he say to defend it? I heard Ivanka and Don unequivocally condemn it along with Pence. And as I already said Trump should go on national TV and condemn it and tell everyone to go home which he did and it seems it's dispersing. What did he say to defend it exactly?

    I just wished this site moderators would, for once, reprimand those on the right condoning the acts of those seditious mob and/or state what this site owner position is so we can decide if it’s still worth our time trying to have a civilized discussion about politics here.

    some of the posts here are sickening and the amount of conspiracy theory word pablum is a bloody waste of bandwidth.

    I've reported several posts advocating political violence. I respect our moderators, but I fear the sheer volume coming out of this will take some time to catch up to. It has to be hard to keep up with the pipeline.

    On the plus side, at least we are getting a full picture of which Trumpers have left reality, and apparently their integrity, behind.

    Today "protest" You call taking over the US Capitol building WHILE Congress was in session a 'protest'??
    What is wrong with you?
    Just where is the line for you? The line of decency that even you won't cross?
    Where is that line?

    I told my son on Monday that Trump would incite his minions and they would storm the capitol. Though in my scenario they would hold congress people hostage and force them to overturn election.

    Not clear why DC was not prepared for this or why anyone is surprised.

    There are 2 weeks left - this is not over. Trump will move to his next coup strategy

    Well you can put me in the latter column. As I have all anarchy that has been going on. This just took it up another notch the question is what do we do about it now.

    I honestly didn't think it would go this far, but let's face it, inauguration day will be far worse.

    Sorry I don't have to comply with your specious demands for lack of something of substance to say. I posted my position and you can't deal with it................oh well. Stop misrepresenting it.
