The fact that you had tens of thousands of really pissed off people there and there was virtually no damage done to the capital speaks to the civility and restraint of the mob. All that I ask for is equitable treatment based on precedent with Left wing rioters, which clearly is not happening. What kind of jail stay would an Antifa goon get for smacking a police officer with a flag? A weekend? Our Vice President openly promoted a rioters' bail fund that got violent BLM and Antifa goons back out onto the streets.



    A huge portion of the Rs (e.g. Liz Cheney) have joined in on the "coup" idiocy. And that is a huge, huge problem. When your own people are adopting your enemy's narratives, you have absolutely zero chance of winning.
    Can you point to specific cases where someone beat cops over the head with bats or flag poles and then didn't even get charged?

    This is reminiscent of you complaining that the police were doing nothing to catch the people who burned down that Wendy's in Atlanta. After about 5 minutes of digging around I found that all 3 arsonists had already been indicted and were sitting in prison awaiting trial.

    I'll admit, it's probably a lot easier to catch morons who filmed themselves committing crimes in the Capitol and livestreaming that shit than people who set fires at night. Can I guarantee that every violent BLM rioter has been tracked down and punished? Nope. But I can guarantee that a lot more of them have been than you constantly claim.

      Election officials in multiple states sent home partisan observers by lying and saying that they were suspending the vote count. (this is all public record and not in dispute). Then, with those observers gone, they counted a bunch of ballots that just happened to break 100% for Biden. This is literally on video in Fulton County, GA. Does that count as evidence?
      This has been debunked by Raffensberger and Sterling probably dozens of times at this point.

        Almost Half of Federal Cases Against Portland Rioters Have Been Dismissed

        Many charged in connection with violence surrounding last year’s racial-justice protests have completed community service and won’t be tried

        Of 96 cases the U.S. attorney’s office in Portland filed last year charging protesters with federal crimes, including assaulting federal officers, civil disorder, and failing to obey, prosecutors have dropped 47 of them, government documents show. Ten people have pleaded guilty to related charges and two were ordered detained pending trial. None have gone to trial.

          Hasn't said it loudly? Yeah, I would venture to say that Tucker has never even whispered to his audience that he hates Trump with a passion and considers his Presidency a total failure.

            One of many...

            ​​

            Perfect example -- this guy throws a Molotov cocktail at the cops. It's on video. Then he has the attempted murder and arson charges dropped and gets released on $1,000 bail.

            $1,000 bail. That's literallly a thousandth of what Kyle Rittenhouse's bail was.

            September: Charges dropped against 9 out of 10 protesters | News | portlandtribune.com

            Officers originally arrested Sipe on charges that included attempted murder, attempted first-degree assault, and arson. However, the more serious charges were dropped and he now only faces one count of riot and one count of possession of a destructive device.

            The 23-year-old is identified in court papers as a homeless former Marine who has schizophrenia and an arrest warrant in Georgia for aggravated assault. Sipe has been unemployed for "a couple years" and food stamps are his only source of income, according to court documents.

            Despite that, he managed to post $1,000 bail on Sept. 29. He was supposed to appear in court again Friday, Oct. 2, but didn't show, according to the DA's office. A warrant has now been issued for his arrest. KOIN 6 News reached out to his public defender for comment, but did not hear back.

            • ESCAPING JUSTICE Hundreds of BLM rioters, looters and vandals have charges DROPPED despite destruction from violent protests

              https://www.the-sun.com/news/3123181...arges-dropped/

              An analysis of NYPD data by NBC New York has showed that out of the 118 arrests that were made in Bronx in June 2020, most cases have been dismissed, a total of 73.

              Another eighteen cases remain open and there are 19 convictions for lesser counts like trespassing, which carry no jail time, the report states.

              The data shows that in Manhattan there were 485 arrests.

              222 have now been dropped and 73 got lesser counts.

              Another 40 cases involved juveniles and were sent to family court; 128 cases remain open.

              Of the 485 cases just 128 remain open, with 40 cases involving juveniles and cases sent to family court.

                Not it hasn't. You declaring something "debunked" doesn't automatically make it so.

                Fulton County's shenanigans are literally on video. Exactly as described by the people who were sent home because they were lied to that the vote counting was going to stop. You don't need to rely on anyone's word. it's in plain sight. I have yet to hear an innocent explanation for this.

                There were even press releases that night for various states (e.g. Wisconsin) that declared that they were suspending counting of the votes and didn't. I was watching it as it unfolded.

                  Meanwhile, Jan 6 rioters are getting six month prison sentences for stuff like "disrupting an official proceeding", and many of them are rotting in jail with no bail. Every single potential suspect in Jan 6 is being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The "assault on police officer" charges could include simply shoving an officer. I haven't seen video of anyone on January 6 trying to beat an officer with a bat or throwing a Molotov cocktail at them.

                  And then there's Ashley Babbit. How many Antifa or BLM rioters have been shot for doing what Ashley Babbit did? If that were a precedent we'd be stacking BLM and Antifa bodies like cord wood.

                    It's all been called out here, ad nauseam.

                    But just go on thinking that Trump is responsible for the obscene inflation, unchecked flow of illegals, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, climate disasters and that bill that we are all going to get to pay off the loans that got taken out by Gender Studies major at Biggby coffee.

                    • I'm not going down this road with you again. It's been thoroughly debunked. Georgia Republicans who know far more than you do have said it's crap. Oh they're just RINOs and there's a vast conspiracy to deny Trump his second term. Blah blah blah.

                      It's funny how you admit that the whole "Dominion flipping votes" theory is dumb and ridiculous but the same people advancing those claims are absolutely right about all the other bullshit.

                      Election deniers are total losers and are addicted to their loserdom. Far more fun (and lucrative) to play the martyr than have any governing responsibility. That goes for Stacaey Adams at this point too.

                        A Republican agreeing with you on something does not automatically give it credibility.

                        A lot of them aren't advancing those other claims. And yes, they can be wrong about one narrative and be right about another. I wish that they would focus on mail-in ballot integrity instead of the other loony shit that caused them to lose credibility.

                          Well you could actually provide evidence that the election was stolen. With the Dominion case and the January 6th committee, the evidence they presented was all on the Republican side saying that he lost. He lost fair and square, you should have moved on. Unless you think the My pillow guy is some sort of evidence. Move on, send Trump to the hinterlands instead of being the front runner. Trump was cooking up the scheme months in advance to rationalize a loss. He was doing the same shit prior to November 2016, but he had to shit can that strategy because he won. He beat Hillary Clinton fair and square. See it's not that hard.

                          • All of this could have been avoided if Hillary and her legion of supporters conceded that they lost in 2016. But instead the D's launched the BS Russia Hoax Lie. You see when Dems contest election results it's virtuous...and lying to take down the R's is not only virtuous...but necessary.

                              True in ALL contexts. It went for Abrams in 2018 as well at "this point".

                              If that were the end of it, then that would have been great. Instead we got a prolonged bullshit investigation to say DJT didn't actually win fair and square with MSNBC pumping lies out on a nightly basis.

                              Just acknowledge that. It's not that hard.
