I'm surprised that the January 6th "insurrection" didn't involve more guns considering that Trump supporters are gun lovers.
A real insurrection involves guns.
I think the Democrats don't want anyone getting too close to the 2020 election because they might find the truth in the anomaly.
Insurrection is simply the takeover of a government. These people made our elected leaders hide in safe rooms or flee underground while they were trying to peacefully transfer power. Many assaulted police officers. I don't normally care if politicians get a little roughed up, but had they actually caught Pelosi we all know she would he dead right now. Pence too. They were recording themselves talking about it.
Lol. Not true at all.
Unarmed people were not about to kill anyone or take over the government.
Don't downplay J6 as some non-event. It may have not been an insurrection, but it was a travesty. It was not a bunch of tourist going down the wrong hall by accident like you guys pretend. It was a bunch of fringe right lunatics that were trying to stop the certification of an election. They forced Congress to abandon the Chamber and delay certification. That is illegal and deserves prosecution
and many of them spent years in jail for it. Most of what happened that day would be less than 5 years at the state level. They were way over prosecuted, judicial review proved that
The key phrase is State Level. I agree at the State level it would be less. But, it wasn't. It was Congress and a National General Election. How can ANY Nation not come down hard on that? Did they think the Federal Government was going to just say, "OK, slap on the wrist. Disrupt our Presidential elections any time?" To quote a great line from Tulsa King - "What are you a child? What did you think was going to happen?"
They tried to stop, delay or change the Certification of an election. What did they think was going to happen??? If the plan all along was pardon, then Trump hung them out for four years. If they thought it would be ignored, which I have no idea how anyone in their right mind thinks J6 on National TV would be ignored is beyond me.
Honest question - would it change your opinion of J6 if there was proof that Pelosi and the administration deliberately denied security, planted props such as the fake pipe bombs, and planted FBI informants to instigate the crowd in hopes that things would get out of hand and they could use an insurrection narrative against Trump and his supporters? If not, then I think we're simply at an impasse. I cannot support a government or political party like that.
For what it's worth, it has been proven in court that the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping case involved entrapment by the government. J6 seems to have been entrapment on steroids. I'm hoping we will be able to get to the bottom of it.
If that is proven, yes. If it goes down like Watergate, where people go to jail because it is proven in a court of law? Of course! Then it would beat Watergate. No question.
Flbear: 'its only worse when the government says its worse'
No. But there has to be some process where both sides get to address the evidence and a judgement is reached. It can't just be one side saying this or that, for both sides. Where else but the courts does that happen in the arena we are talking? It is not like a scientific experiment or data analysis.
I agree that one side saying something doesn't make it true. But we were able to see lots of evidence and statistical anomalies that cast doubt on the integrity of the 2020 election..
There were scores of affidavits from election workers across the country sworn under the penalty of perjury (criminal liability) that simply went disregarded. These affidavits reported all sorts of election irregularities… Votes, arriving overnight with no chain of custody, etc. ballots that had no crease in them… Meaning that they weren't ever mailed. To top it off, we were told to accept that even though Biden won far fewer counties nationwide than Obama did, he somehow received 15 million more votes than Obama. It simply didn't add up. There was no way for it all to be investigated in the short time that the electoral votes had to be certified, and once they were certified, there was no will on the side of the Democrats to investigate. Not only that, the Democrats accused anyone wanting to investigate these alleged irregularities of being election deniers, of obstructing the law, and even being insurrectionists.
If the Democrats refuse to indict or even investigate potential election fraud, then how can the courts weigh in?
Does the truth of a matter depend on a conviction in court? Did you believe OJ was innocent? Reasonable and intelligent people can look at all of the facts and conclude that the 2020 election was not on the up and up. In the meantime, we were being gaslit that it was the most secure election ever.
Leading up to the 2024 election, absentee voting was made more secure by the courts in many states over the objections of Democrats, and voila, the Democrats received 20 million fewer votes than in 2020. Nothing to see there for some people I guess. To many fair minded people, it was even more validation that the 2020 election was ridden with fraud.
