The video from the supreme court is not what i saw. Go do your research the estimate was over 50K in property damage. There were capital officers injured and took to the hospital that day. And their were people arrested.

On the video i saw there were men with crow bard and axes. But of course it was just a peaceful protest. My point was about them being close to the same was that in both instances most of the protesters were peaceful but their were a few to set out bad things.

I didn't really read a lot of the comments you guys transparently have a lot more free time on your hands then i do. I work 55 to 65 hours most weeks since the pandemic began. I come here to read a little sports and relax a little bit.
i am not going to try and go look up some link to a news story from 2 or 3 years ago.

By the way i haven't heard anyone bashing the ABC or CNN people who say what we need is a good cleansing.

You guys have fun debating with yourselves i don't have time for this. I got way more productive comments out of congressmen then i disagree with then you over this topic. Both of them democrats that sort of agreed that their party and rhetoric of the media has to account for their part in dismissing others views.

Question for any lawyers/legal minds out there:

--If you and I rob a bank together, thus committing a felony, and you kill an officer or an individual in the process, we can both be charged with capital murder.

--So, what prevents the government from charging all of the individuals that broke into the Capitol last week with the murder of Officer Brian Sicknick?

Or the Gallia County educational system?

There's a big difference between the riots of last summer and the treason that occurred last Wednesday. Last summer was spurred by a series of murders of people who were killed largely -- and even solely -- because of the color of their skin. The demonstrations, which were mostly peaceful across the country, and the riots that followed were the culmination of about 400 years of treating Black people as less than human. No one condoned the riots. But they were understandable. People get fed up with total strangers using racial slurs, detaining them on the street, accusing them of crimes and pointing guns at them, simply because of the color of their skin. We've had civil rights laws in this country for more than 50 years but Black people still face discrimination by police and other elected officials.

The treason of last Wednesday was the result of four years of constant lying by the current occupant of the White House and his enablers. Repeatedly during the past four years Trump has said that the ONLY way he could lose an election is if it were rigged. He is such a narcissistic egomaniac that he might actually believe it. So he perpetrated the lie that he lost only because of vote fraud. But people like Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham didn't believe it but still echoed the lie, despite the fact that no credible evidence had been presented to show widespread fraud. Graham said as much on the floor of the Senate The Wednesday night. The senators and representatives who spread the lie did so merely to make political capital -- they were courting Trump supporters. They knew it was a lie but were afraid of incurring Trump's ire -- and the loss of votes in the next election -- if they didn't go along with it. They should be kicked out of Congress, or at least censured.

The fact is, both Trump and some of those who broke into the Capitol were just using each other. Trump plays to the fears of many people for his own gain. He doesn't really care about them -- before he ran for office he would call such people losers and suckers. And he got them to do his dirty work, just as he always has with people like Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani. On Wednesday he told them he would march with them to the Capitol, but didn't. He instead sat in the White House gleefully watching his supporters commit federal crimes and put themselves in harm's way. On the other hand, subversive groups like the so-called Proud Boys used Trump as a means to further their racist and hate-filled messages. Thanks to Trump, they were able to have thousands more marching with them than they could on their own.

Mitch and his senate minions won't care. And Lindsey will declare "count me out" - until Donnie calls wanting to be licked.

It's largely because The Big Lie will likely take a long time to fade away. This is from a story about the Monmouth Poll that was conducted January 21-24, two weeks after the attempted coup:

The Monmouth poll found that roughly one-third (32%) of Americans still believed fraud was the cause of Trump’s defeat. Sixty-five percent agreed Biden won the election “fair and square.” Of the Republicans surveyed, 72% said they believe Biden won due to fraud. About 10% said they would never accept Biden as president despite that he was already sworn in.

Today, all but 5 GOP Senators voted to dismiss impeachment charges.

The GOP will, yet again, refuse to hold their own accountable. Just a bunch of cowards without a shred of allegiance to anything but their own careers. They're so afraid of a primary challenge and the completely delusional 72% of Trump voters who think that the election was stolen, that they're going to let a US President get away with trying to steal an election.

And they'll probably nominate him to run again, too.

The inmates are actually running the asylum on the right these days. It's a party of conspiracies now.

Sometimes i wonder what questions pollster are asking people or how they interpret peoples answers. One of my coworkers goat call from a pollster the other day. They asked who he voted for as president he said Trump. They asked him how confident he was in the election results. He answered like was third or fourth choice which was he had some questions about some issues in some states. The next question was will you ever except Biden as your president since you think the election was stolen.

He told the poster he didn't think the election was stolen he said he believed Biden won but had some questions about the voting in Arizona and Georgia. the pollster told him he would be listed as did not respond to survey because his answers didst fit the model?

the poll was from NBC/wallstreet journal i do believe is what they said.
