Yet they're somehow able to completely ignore it. They are either truly idiots or they're so easily brainwashed by the media that they can't help but comply.

reply

the riots had a genuine reason , misguided as it was

the jan6 was all based on complete bullshit and was literally treason instigated by Trump , he should be in the electric chair

of course this is just the same conversation thats happened a thousand times here during and since trump so no ones mind will be changed either way.

Liberal hysterics. There is NO legitimate reason to riot. There is no excuse whatsoever that can be made for the summer rioting. People's lives were destroyed by those unhinged lunatics.

What happened at the capitol should not have happened. Period. However, it was NOT as it has been portrayed by the media and democrat politicians. It was not an insurrection. It was not "treason". It was a protest that got out of hand. Some glass was broken. Some stupid people did stupid things and took stupid pictures of themselves. The only person killed was the unarmed USAF veteran shot by capitol police for no good reason. Where's your outrage for her? Where's your outrage for the retired police chief murdered by rioters? Where's your outrage for the dozens of police officers ambushed and murdered?

You people are 100% phony.

reply

"There is NO legitimate reason to riot. "

I wouldn't go that far. Lots of historical examples of people living under repressive governments and riots breaking out as a result. Boston Tea party, 1863 draft riots, and the French revolution. Kind of hard to argue against those people being angry and taking action.

reply

You’re changing the context.

reply

Go to your state capital bjuilding, break some windows and try to crawl through them, and if you get shot, I'm sure someone will explain why.

reply

You really think someone should get shot for breaking and entering?

And you do realize that American citizens have a right to enter the capitol building, right?

reply

January 6th riot is worse because the President was attempting to overturn the election. Trump was trying to exert pressure on Pence to not certify the results of the election and he sent his supporters to the Capitol to do his dirty work. Trump even had a "stop the steal" rally before sending the crowds to the Capitol.

Remember the riots and insurrection hearings in 2016 when Democrats demanded electors go rogue and elect Hillary? Me neither.

There could have been a riot somewhere. The US now has riots every few months so I can't keep track of them all. The riots used to happen every twenty years but there has been at least one per year over the last decade. There were a few celebrities griping about the election but I don't believe Hillary Clinton was actively trying to overturn the election.

The article below states that there were seven faithless electoral college voters during 2016. They all voted for candidates who had zero chance to win.

reply

Far left radicals burned buildings and killed people because Hillary Clinton lied about the 2016 election being stolen, she then purchased a fake dossier with Russian disinformation as a way to overturn the 2016 election, it was a coup and an insurrection and I am so mad at Trump for not throwing the bitch in prison when he had the chance.

reply

I'm not aware of any actions by Hillary Clinton to overturn the election. Over the last few years, people have been rioting for any number of reasons. I don't believe Hillary Clinton was encouraging people to riot. Many of these people participate in riots so they can get free stuff. Donald Trump held a rally and encouraged his followers to march on the Capitol.

The Steele dossier was originally funded by a Republican backer but the Democrats eventually took over the funding of the dossier. Most of the dossier has been corroborated while only a few issues have been disproven. There was the spicy allegation about Donald Trump watching models in a hotel room and I'm certain that Donald Trump wouldn't miss that show. After all, he was caught having affairs with a porn star and a playmate.

There is plenty of evidence of Donald Trump's cozy relationship with Russia and the Soviet Union.

You shouldn't confuse moviechatuser by stating facts. The truth seems to confuse him.

reply

Hillary Clinton bought a fake Russian Dossier and she encouraged her mob to terrorize major cities after the election, she very much did try to overturn the election and yes the Russian Collusion assertion was very much a hoax, it has been debunked and if you had any integrity you'd support the prosecution of every single swamp DemoKKKrat who lied to us for 4 straight years. This isn't anything new, even your cult has stopped with the whole Russia conspiracy lies, someone forgot to give you the memo.

reply

There is zero evidence of Hillary Clinton urging mobs to terrorize cities after the election. I'm an independent voter so don't accuse me of being a member of a cult. The Russian collusion assertions were never disproved. There is plenty of evidence of the Trump team's collusion with Russia.

Manafort gave his associate campaign polling data and it ended up with Russian intelligence agents. Roger Stone was coordinating with Wikileaks about Hillary's e-mails that were released by Wikileaks. Trump granted Presidential pardons to both Manafort and Stone to protect himself. The Trump campaign met with the Russian lawyer in Trump Tower about opposition research on Hillary Clinton. Facebook blocked Russian propaganda accounts that attempted to influence the election. Trump also asked Russia in a speech to hack into Hillary's e-mails. Kremlin documents were unearthed that show the Kremlin intended to help elect a mentally unbalanced Trump to the Presidency.

reply

Hillary announced that the election was stolen and then bought a fake Russian dossier. As a result her mob rioted and burned cities. When you are a lying bitch like Hillary telling her cult that Russia is controlling our elections there is no other option than to be violent. She knew the risks and still lied. I’m also not entertaining your far left fake news. Russian collusion was a lie and she should be in prison for it

reply

BLM said they would burn the country down until the police were defunded and they were changing “shoot the white folk”. What happened at the Capitol was a largely peaceful protest with a couple of bad apples. It’s not even close, the Capitol paled in comparison to your typical BLM riot but the DemoKKKrats selectively cherry-pick what incidents they are going to bitch and moan about depending on what’s best for the politically.

Barely anyone cares about 1/6 except the far left. What most people care about is how the DemoKKKrats plan to undo the damage that Diaper Joe has already inflicted on our economy.

reply

Hoodlums in the streets burning down stores is nothing new. It's been happening for the past fifty years. A US President plotting to overturn an election has not happened very often and Donald Trump's plan for his Vice President to not certify the electoral votes may be unprecedented. The Capitol riot was NOT a mostly peaceful protest. The article below notes that 140 police officers were injured during the riot. There were plenty of videos from that day that showed violent confrontations.

reply

DemoKKKrats encouraging thugs to burn down cities and loot stores is something new and it did happen. The fact that you don't care that Biden, KKKamala, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. actively encouraged BLM and Antifa to terrorize innocent people is very disturbing, this is treason and they should all be in jail.

Both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton plotted to overturn their failed elections so yeah it's nothing new.

The Capitol was mostly peaceful, there were a few bad apples who broke things and those are the only pieces of video that the far left, hate Trump smear campaign is going to show you.

BLM and Antifa murdered over 20 people (including a St. Louis police captain who if you care was black) and injured thousands, also caused billion dollars of damage. Plus they plotted to storm the White House and murder President Trump and even today they are plotting to murder conservative Supreme Court Justices.

The committee is a complete scam, it is a distraction from the DemoKKKrats failed economic and foreign policies, and it's designed to smear the character of President Trump because they are afraid he's going to run in 2024 and if the election were held today he'd probably win. Protecting "our democracy" is very much a secondary priority and it's kind of sad you've allowed this cult to brainwash you.

reply

There isn't any evidence of the Democratic party encouraging thugs to burn down cities and loot stores. There was a rally held by Trump and his cronies to stop the steal.

Al Gore did have a valid legal challenge in the state of Florida since a lot of votes were not counted. There was a whole controversy over hanging chads and butterfly ballots. Al Gore wanted to have a recount in Florida but the Supreme Court stopped the recount. I've seen zero evidence of Hillary Clinton attempting to overturn the election.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-ballots-story.html * Al Gore legal challenge *

I believe one of the committee's goals is to prevent Trump from running for office again and the Republicans will quietly thank the Democrats for their efforts. It might be a waste of time since Trump will NEVER win another election. It's against the law for an insurrectionist to seek public office and they might be able to disqualify Trump from running again if they can prove his involvement in the violent Capitol riot.

reply

Diaper Joe called the police the enemy

KKKamala said the riots won’t stop nor should they

Pelosi said she didn’t care if they rioted

All of those quotes are directly inciting riots and they have blood on their hands

Al Gore fought tooth and nail to overturn the 2000 election and wanted to disenfranchise the voters of Florida, he’s a criminal

Of course they don’t want trump to run again because they know he would defeat Diaper Joe, it’s not about getting to the truth, it’s about smearing a politician who is a threat to them. Protecting our democracy isn’t a concern to them, if they wanted a fair process they wouldn’t have kicked off anyone who didn’t vote to impeach trump

reply

Good question

reply

Because orange man bad and they’re mentally ill.

Any questions?

reply

Why do republicans think a coordinated assault on the seat of Democracy is of no concern while a spontaneous uprising of disenfranchised citizens against systemic oppression is tantamount to cancelling Mr Potato Head and other such atrocities?

reply

Because everything you just said was a lie.

I also don’t understand why your cult attempting to murder Justice Kavanaugh isn’t a big deal, that is a far bigger threat to our democracy than a couple of idiots walking into a public building.

reply

unless you are a pure utilitarian there are other factors, often non monetary ones besides "this caused X damage so its "1.2 million dollars worse than this event".

in this case its clear. an attempt to overturn democracy by storming the capital and finding the politicians and forcing them to overturn it.

I dont think any riot is good. id never call the George Floyd ones "good". but do I think some repairable property damage is less bad than an attempted coup egged on by the former president? yes

reply

Because the George Floyd riots make them look bad.
