How much time after the start of the assault? 

 

"Here’s what President Trump did during the 187 minutes between the end of his speech and when he finally told rioters to go home: For hours, he watched the attack from his TV screen. His channel of choice was Fox News. He issued a few tweets, some on his own inclination and some only at the repeated behest of his daughter and other trusted advisors. He made several phone calls, some to his personal lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, some to Members of Congress about continuing their objections to the electoral certification, even though the attack was well underway. Here’s what President Trump did not do: He did not call any relevant law enforcement agency to ensure they were working to quell the violence. He did not call the Secretary of Defense; he did not call the Attorney General; he did not call the Secretary of Homeland Security. And for hours on end, he refused the repeated requests—from nearly everyone who talked to him—to simply tell the mob to go home.

Once I saw the source, I decided against wasting 3 seconds of my life.
 

Contrary, you’re deflecting.

[G_Money]

Meanwhile the silence if deafening.

 

No opinions on the “mostly peaceful “ summer of love mayhem.

 

I haven’t seen anyone “wearing flowers in their hair “ or meeting “gentle people “.

 

However, no shortage of opinions about January 6th.   Strange, but true.

What was not true in the Reuters news, too?

Trumpers are so funny. They cannot defend Trump by contradicting assertions, so it's always but, but... BLM, summer of love, or whatever false equivalence they may think of ( or rather, have been fed with).

[G_Money]

This is what happens when a liberal crybaby’s plan doesn’t work out to their agenda.

 

The face of him shown in the article is the face of a very disturbed man.  His eyes are not even focused.

 

And you call Trump a dictator.

I’ve given my opinion of January 6th. 

 

Waiting for the opinions of the “mostly peaceful” Summer of Love.

I have given facts, not opinions, about Jan. 6, which you did not contradict.

 

If you want to talk about the so-called summer of love, why don't you open a thread about it?

[G_Money]

What I find most surprising on this thread of the SCOTUS unanimous decision is not reading the opinion of WALKER.

 

Myself and others were looking forward to a detailed thesis on wrongful decision made by unanimous decision of the SCOTUS.

 

Similiar to Keith Overbite’’s opinion posed above.

Dems better get the tissues ready for November. They did everything they could to make him go away and it just made him more popular.

Thank you for the clarification of the “attack”.  Not an insurrection.

 

 I was almost “attacked” by Soi dogs once.

 

Citizens are “attacked “ every day in America by thugs.  Some thugs are USC’s and some are illegal aliens.

 

Some of these “attacks “ range from being pushed in front of a subway train, being mugged, beaten or murdered for being Asian, car jacked, vehicles being broken into, domestic violence, drug dealing gone bad to name a few.  

January 6th was not an insurrection.  It was a disturbance, protest and at times violent, even riot.  But no insurrection!
 

It was conducted by a bunch of idiots  

 

Trump, the sitting President at the time of the alleged insurrection did not plan and execute the disturbance.  He encouraged and told them to stop and go home peacefully.  Plenty of footage of him saying this.  You and most here have heard or watched the footage, most likely.

 

Whether you or the rest want to admit seeing the footage is up to you.  Your denial is no excuse for me to post the link, stats or proof.  1 minute of google search and you got it

 

Fox News did not support the disturbance and vast majority of conservatives did not support it either, myself included.

 

January 6th was one day 

 

The mostly peaceful summer of love several years ago by comparison was much closer to an insurrection than the 6th but also was not an insurrection.

 

Encourage and supported by Maxine Waters, Pelosi, AOC and her worthless squad to name a few.

 

Footages available even though you have seen it, most likely.

 

Mayem, Anarchy, looting, murder, burning that made the 6th look tame.

 

"January 6th was not an insurrection.  It was a disturbance, protest and at times violent, even riot.  But no insurrection!

Trump watched the mob he had summoned to Washington rampage through the Capitol for three hours before he did anything.  Numerous people urged him to act and he just sat and watched the rampage on television.  Only when it was clear that the mob would not succeed in preventing the election certification did he send out a text calling the "bunch of idiots" patriots, repeating the stolen election lie, and asked them to go home.

 

POTUS watched his supporters rampage in the Capitol and did nothing.

 

The man isn't fit for any government job.

not much but someone brought up Jan 6th saying it was a violent insurection  and someone else says the "summer of love" was worse for death and destruction  but one event is portrayed as

"the end of democracy" and the other as "mostly peaceful"

Agree it’s getting off topic from the thread title.  Make sure you go back early in the thread and remind your fellow comrades to stop using insurrection when describing Trump.

Meanwhile, where’s WALKER?

However it ends up going, this one is going to be very entertaining.

What SCOTUS didn't address was the Colorado ruling that Citizen (not president) Trump is an insurrectionist. So as it stands now, Trump ... is  also an adjudicated insurrectionist.

Such complete nonsense.  Trump was not accused of, or prosecuted for, never mind convicted of, insurrection (media craziness excluded because it doesn't count).

The summer of love is out-of topic. Moreover, they did not assault the Capitol in order to steal elections, so the comparison is irrelevant.

Trump winning the primaries Is good news, as Haley was more likely to win the election.

Nobody assaulted the Capitol to steal elections, Biden took office as planned  one event was dismissed as "mostly peaceful" even though there was much more death and destruction the other was hyped to oblivion into "the end of democracy"

They assaulted the Capitol in order to block the process of certification and bypass the legitimate electors vote. I call it trying to steal the election. How would you rather call it?

I would call it a mostly peaceful protest  up until the police opened fire with tear-gas  on a section of the crowd   whilst another section of the crowd where ushered in and escorted around the Capitol building by police.

Can we talk about the pipe bombs and Rey Epps yet ?
