I'd like to hear defenders of Donald Trump - such as @TRUE LIBERTY, for instance - defend what happened back on Jan. 6th, 2021.....

Defend it? Nothing to defend it was a stupid move. But it was no insurrection it was stupid actions of vandalism brought on by the capital police and the fbi who wanted this to happen by higher powers in government and they fell for it. The punishment they are doing isn’t matching the crime and it’s kittens play compared to the riots, murders, destruction and actual acts of insurrection during the year of 2020 when the left went on a rampage. But it seems those crimes have been forgotten and forgiven.

Sure, and Trump's words up to, on the day/night of the election, and in the 2 months prior to Jan. 6th were all just blather, huh? Words might not physically have an effect but gin up a crowd enough and even the smallest spark can ignite a fire. And slagging the FBI once again? Given their history and set of controversies over its' existence, I'll let that one slide for now.

Given the violence of that day (and no, it wasn't ginned up by provocateurs' either) they should be lucky they're not being charged with worse (though there have several convictions and multi-yr. sentences handed out thuhs far).

Apples and oranges...and given what sparked those off (the murder of George Floyd) good luck prosecuting those cases.

Trump didn’t say squat about promoting violence in any fashion no matter how many times people want to claim it.

Not slagging the fbi it’s absolute fact at this point they staged it along with the capital police to make it happen and sadly people fell for it. The capital police started the violence shown on video that made it happen and escalated.

They should be charged for destruction of property and that’s about it.

No it’s apples and apples if you go by leftist logic except what they did ruined far more lives who had businesses, killed people and put over a thousand officers in the hospital. Prosecution would be easy if put on trial they were hated by the community in those areas. And now that Black Lives Matter is a fraud and just stealing the money for their own gains people in those cities have had enough.

He didn't have to; he and his supporters kept ginning up conspiracy after conspiracy after conspiracy....then all he had to do on 1-6 was light a match with his words. (And even then, an awful lot of them said outright they were there to stop the electoral count.)

What events were you watching that day? No, don't answer that; that was a rhetorical question.

As I said before, any prosecutor going after 2020 protesters would be lucky to get a conviction given the prevailing winds at the times. No argument on BLM but if things are so hunky-dory as you think they are, tell that to the Philando Castiles and Sandra Blands of the world. Get back to us when you do.

Conspiracy’s that were factual.

He didn’t say anything that suggested let’s riot. But the state police sure did when they started tossing in smoke bombs and beating people before a single person went democrat bat shit crazy.

Actually didn’t hear about it until the next day.


Conviction would be a far gone conclusion in today’s atmosphere of crime ridden democrat cities and states and they know the good people in those inner cities have had enough. When San Francisco the capital of whacky leftist ideas has citizens rethinking the way they vote.
 
they know the good people in those inner cities have had enough.
And yet whenever they try to redress those grievances they're almost always told "Know your role, slow down, know your place...."

I suspect that boat has sailed....

In democrat held cities, soooooooo😂
 
I would like for you to provide me with factual proof of this from a reputable source.
Serafin can't. Hence the Babylon Bee comment.

And he should realize that you can have deaths attributed to something that weren't directly caused by the events therein.
Case in point: Brian Sicknick wasn't directly injured by insurrectionists yet later died as a result of the events that happened.

This person must have me blocked because I don’t see this quote anywhere. So a reputable source this person approves of. Give me any source I don’t care I’ll either agree or won’t.

No he died because of bad life choices.
 
(The Guardian) January 6 committee begins fourth hearing
The House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection has begun its fourth hearing, focusing on Trump’s efforts to convince state officials to swing the results of the 2020 election in his favor.

Among those testifying today will be:
--Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who last month fended off a Trump-backed attempt to oust him from office.
--Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system implementation manager during the 2020 election who is now Raffensperger’s top deputy and vocally condemned Trump’s baseless claims about the integrity of his state’s election.
--Rusty Bowers, the Republican speaker of the Arizona House.
--Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, a Georgia poll worker who, along with her mother, was accused of rigging the vote in a number of conspiracies promoted by Trump supporters.
“Don’t be distracted by politics. This is serious,” Liz Cheney, the January 6 committee’s top Republican member, said in an appeal against partisan politics as the hearing began. “We cannot let America become a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence,” she added.

Yet Cheney herself may not be able to escape the partisan implications of her strident denunciation of Trump and his actions around January 6. She’s been booted from her state’s Republican party and is facing a vigorous primary challenge.
 
No, he died as a consequence of the injuries suffered that day; hence, he died as a result of Jan. 6th.

No his death had nothing to do with what he was doing on the job. Bad life choices did it, nothing else.

No, his death was a result of injuries suffered that day, not any bad choices elsewhere.

Absolutely not, his death had zilch, zero, notta to do with anything except what he put in his mouth.
 
Some thoughts from a former GOP strategist on Tuesday's hearings....
 
The take away is nobody is watching and that’s why even the leftist news media broke away from the hearings for something else.
