I'm aware of chants. Were people actually trying to kill them?

Not sure about the pipe bombs. Kitchen timer detonator. Not clear it was ever activated. Or maybe it was and didn't detonate? No way to select a target with that. Was around both DNC and RNC HQs. What is the general thinking with the pipe bombs?

Why is questioning the official narrative of what happened on Jan 6th so important to you? Is it so you don't have to feel so shitty about supporting Trump?

I was asked a question, I'm not sure why. I gave my response.

Well just threatening is illegal, acting on it during a protest is even more illegal. Breaking into the capital building and searching for politicians while the capital police are shooting people probably legally qualifies as “tried”

Riots are ok so long as they aren't trying to overturn elections.

Maybe they are just both wrong but some are worst then others ?
It’s bad to steal but the consequence of stealing millions isn’t the same as stealing 1 bitcoin or even 20$ .

But obv you know that so u really seem to like trump to push those kind of equivalence non stop shrug.

Gotcha, so BLM riots were worse since more financial losses occurred

We should compare the average cost per day.



That call for unity, predictably, lol

They were chanting, “Hang MikePence.” Were they supposed to not evacuate Pence just to see if the chanting mob would ACTUALLY try to kill him? And then intervene if they ACTUALLY did?

Your question is gotcha ****ing bullshit and you know. Trumptards are such disingenuous ****ing *******s.

He's irredeemable trash. When he behaves like trash, it should come as zero surprise, for that is exactly what he is.

How many blm « riots » they were ?
How many January 6 they were ?
How many total persons were involved in blm riots ?
How many total person were involved on January 6 ?

U think comparing the 2 situations are fair ?

Put another way , you believe creating hundreds/thousands of January 6 events with the hundreds/thousands of blm that happened , blm would of been worst ?

For example ,
1 January 6 -> around 1.5 to 2.75 millions in damages .
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharysmit...

The final cost of the Capitol riot could exceed $30 million, taking into account the cost of mental health counseling for riot victims and other more indirect costs incurred by rioters, Brett Blanton, the architect of the Capitol, told Congress in February 2021.

But let’s take just the damages to building for now .

Seem blm protest amount between 7k to 11k events .

I wonder how much it would cost having over january 6 X 7000 times .

But I guess fighting against police brutality
( with good reasons since chauvin got condemn 25+ years)
for you and trying to deny democracy is equivalent as well ?

Exactly .


Jan 6 court costs need to be considered. Weren’t like 500 people charged

Why is it so important to you to equivocate and/or compare them? No one thinks the riots were good. No one tries to claim they never happened. No one tries to describe them as "guided tours" and no one votes for a participant for president.

Everyone agrees that those that broke the law should be punished. Some don't think that about Jan 6th.

The 2020 riots were a result of people protesting police brutality, which everyone should be against and protesting, but usually they riots were incited by those not sympathetic to the cause (ie white supremacists, police, etc.)
The Jan 6th riot was a result of people trying to overturn a fair election and force their will on the country over the will of the people in an election. They took this action upon themselves, and were proud of it. They planned it quite publicly, and even HAD T-SHIRTS MADE AHEAD OF TIME.

What you're doing makes zero sense.

It makes sense if (a) he/she’s just a dumbass troll or (b) he/she is trying to justify to themselves the unjustifiable position of being a Trump supporter. Either way, he/she is not worth the spit in my mouth and thus gets the ignore button.

"We figured we'd forestall future arguments by the MAGA brigade that they were just out for a stroll in the capitol by letting them hang the bastard".

Many pro Israel folks support Dems. And Republicans.

The antisemites are just a vocal minority of the Democrat Party. Too bad we dont have a European parliamentary system where the antisemites can self segregate into their own Islamist and Marxist/Communist parties; so they aren't just lumped in with all the Democrats, most of whom support Israel and Zionism.

You do realize the rioters today burned an effigy of Netanyahu while praising Hamas and chanting they were coming to get him. Which seems especially poignant given being deliberately burned alive by Palestinians (Hamas and civilians) was exactly how so many Jews were killed on 10/7.

But the Democrat response of course will be very muted. Some Democrats, such as squad members, probably approve of such behavior. While others, even if they dont approve, realize they need the anstisemite vote.

Remind me who the "jews will not replace us" crowd were voting for again? Hillary, was it?

Seem so , hopefully it’s not .

But why be shy of it if true ?
I keep hearing from trump supporters, republicans will easily win the election with a huge majority .
Why be shy when u have the majority thinking on your side ?

U know they actually protesting against democrat in power right ?
So democrats would create their own problems with other democrats for what reasons exactly ?

The great thing about democrats is maybe they just don’t let the extremist take over the party like republicans did with maga ?

None of this bullshit has anything to do with what I wrote. Take your whataboutism and cram it.

I think they were conflating the Capitol building with 'Camp Auschwitz'.

You are right. My bad for trying to derail your very serious comments about a right wing riot 4 years ago by my flippant remarks about antisemites in the US today burning effigies of Jews in the streets while chanting Hamas is coming for them. Not even worth commenting on, such an inconsequential nothing burger.

Well at least they aren’t praise by the president and promise to be pardon arent they ?

Because they don’t have the majority on their side. Trump lost by millions of votes in BOTH elections, and will lose by millions in this election as well.

GOP policies are not popular to begin with. Put ******* Trump on top of that **** salad and the GOP gets even less popular, hence Trump losing by 6M+ in 2020.

But you’re not looking in the right places if you’re not seeing bold Trumptards. I just yesterday was “at the cabin” and saw a TrumpWasRight flag hanging off a dock, amongst other insane Trump flags.



by Dunyain P

You are right. My bad

This is all the further I got, as it’s all that was needed. Apology accepted.
