As a side comment Scheon is an Observant Orthodox Jew. I read an article today mentioning how he touched the top of his head every time he drank some water during presentation, apparently it's a ritual Orthodox Jews practice. BTW - Unaware of Buddhist Holy Days??? How long did you live in Thailand?

How long did I live in Thailand? Long enough to know they don't have a fixed day of the week off for religious reasons.

 

You could have found it out quite easily by using google, which informs us at the top of the page when googling buddhist holy day of the week

It is not a sacred day of the week. It is better to call a cycle of the moon. Buddhist calendar and most of South Asia and South East Asia calendars are lunar based. The moon circles the earth every 28 days and each quarter of the cycle, there is Observant Day - Uposatha day.

You referred to Buddhist holy days, not a regular fixed day of the week for observance. Hindus also have multiple holy days a year. Enough now as off topic.

I found an example of the New York Times using "fighting" language, or is it different for them because they are not Trump?

 

The Democrats Are United to Fight Trump, but Policy Fights Are Looming

They are not telling private citizens to fight. But does show dems are a lot more intelligent by not actually fighting. Trump supporters dont have the intelligence.

 

The only reason the terrorists were there is because trump invited them. Said it was going to be wild. Told them to go to the capitol.

 

listen to the terrorists themselves, they said trump ordered them to do it. When trump finally asked his special patriots to go home they went home.

 

But lucky you arent a trump supporter.

How can they leave out the "peacefully and patriotically" order Trump gave the crowd? It is just so dishonest. Goes way beyond spinning a narrative to suit their needs , it is more akin to pushing an entirely false narrative if they leave out his orders for the crowd to behave. Total disgrace.

The Democrats selectively spliced together a bunch of random scenes and left out President Trump's calls for a peaceful protest. The American people will see through this and this entire charade has no chance of success. 45 Senators have already declared it unconstitutional so it's DOA.

Not that I actually think that even you believe that Trump's incitement was peaceful , if however you do then please explain the following;

Why did senior republican figures such as Mitch and LG immediately condemn Trump after the event ? 

More importantly , when it became patently obvious that the demonstration was out of hand , why did Trump do nothing for a number of hours ?

According to OAN, the pro Trump "news" service, the real person to blame for the riot is none other than Pierre L'Enfant, the city planner who created the layout of Washington, D.C.

OAN Blames Capitol Riot on 18th-Century D.C. City Planner Hired by George Washington Instead of Trump

"That’s right: the right-wing cable news upstart went after Pierre L’Enfant, hired by George Washington in 1791 to lay out the plans of the capital. Reading over footage of Trump and D.C., an OAN narrator says, “There’s no evidence to suggest that President Trump coordinated with city officials to create some sort of route for protesters to go from the White House to the Capitol. Further, it was in fact Pierre L’Enfant, the architect of Washington, D.C. around 200 years prior to the events of Jan. 6, who designed the city to ensure that all roads led to the beacon of democracy he placed at the center of the city, Capitol Hill.”

Given his legal team's past performance, is it so unreasonable to expect that they might adopt this argument as Trump's defense?
