Not surprised.  
 

Must admit, your sense of humor is better than most of your comrades.

Nikes were looted in BLM riots though, as well as actual businesses burnt down, people murdered and it was a mostly violent protest.  In Jan 6 stuff no vice president was hanged, no democracy was overthrown, and no transfer of power was prevented.   If the BLM riots were a mountain then January 6th was a pebble.   

The fact that they failed doesn't obliterate the fact that the intent was to steal the election.

 

It's like arguing that a bank robber who failed in his attempt should be exonerated.

Your demand for an insurrection far outweighs the supply of one.  I feel everyone on the left was invited to a mass delusion event that I missed out on as I am yet to see anything compelling that actually suggests insurrection rather than a few people bumbling about trespassing where they shouldn't be.   Did they have nukes in their pockets or something and carry any kind of actual threat?  

 

Wow.....that is an amazing response.....truly amazing.

 

I'd love to say way, but I'm sick of being suspended.

We have never heard that version before.

 

It brings on a whole new perspective.

Let's be positive. There were a few good moments... 😆

No need to thank me, personally. You can thank the American people Mr Non U.S. citizen. 🙂

A parody of some of our liberal friends that can't spell or correctly define some of the words they use so often.

They have already had a snowball fight.  Does that count?

 

Honestly, I don’t think the left could pull it off.  They’re not that bright, sorry.

I've heard this argument before.  Could you elaborate on how 100 people without weapons could steal an election away from a country that has tanks, fighter planes, a fully equipped military and nuclear weapons at its disposal?  I cannot work out the logistics here, but I am not an expert insurrectionist as you appear to be.  I put their chances at about the equivalent of a 6 month old toddler crawling into a bank, disarming all the security guards, hacking the cameras, cracking open the safe and leaving with all the money.

[GammaGlobulin]

When you speak in hyperbole, such as this, I find it difficult to take you seriously.

 

In my view, the REAL "Day of Infamy", was this one:

 

 

 

I am OK with Trump, as he is, today.

 

However, I would never have another GF, as long as I live.

 

By comparison, Trump is much easier to take than even one more GF.

And I say this, honestly, and absolutely not hyperbolically.

Such blatantly ridiculous statements as this are embarrassing ......"100 people without weapons"

 

Estimates suggest that approximately 2,000–2,500 individuals entered the Capitol building during the riot.

 

Five individuals were arrested that day for carrying firearms without a license. 

 

• Rioters used flagpoles, baseball bats, crowbars, and hockey sticks as makeshift weapons.

• Bear spray and pepper spray were used against law enforcement officers.

• Some carried taser devices or stun guns. Some rioters were found with knives and body armor, indicating preparation for confrontation.

• Tactical gear such as helmets and military vests was also widely observed.

Not to mention the fact that most of them left the Capitol without being arrested and searched. Most of those who got convicted have been identified later, in particular thanks to videos the dumbasses posted themselves on SM.

January 6th, a day that left-wing nutcases wished lived in infamy, but has already been forgotten by most.  🤦‍♂️

 

What about the BLM riots?  Months long, millions of dollars of damage, multiple people killed.  But no, we should keep in mind the time that a few guys walked into a building and took some selfies...  🙄

 

Pathetic.

When January 6th (currently irrelevant) is all you have left, it’s all you have left.

 

Other than you and a few other sore losers, NOBODY CARES!

 

Wait until Trump pardons the participants the way Biden pardoned his son and commuted the sentence of Federal prisoners.

 

The look on your faces: PRICELESS!

Prove what? I acknowledge the result of the election.

Unlike you and other MAGAs, I am able to accept reality. I'm not going to evoke ridiculous conspiracy theories for years because I don't like the result of an election.

Incoming soon to be convicted felon demagogue president elect Mr. Trump is actively trying to rewrite history.

That's what authoritarian leaders always do.

This is why these types constantly want to remind people about it. They even want it to be literally called "Jan 6", like it's 9/11 or something.

 

It's pathetic propagandist nonsense. To keep dragging up something that was far, far milder than the left-wing riots of the same time period, but to not also bring those up, is completely one-sided and hypocritical.

Think it is a good thing we don't easily move past Jan 6. Was it a major threat to our democracy, probably not, but what fools.  99% of conservatives would never participate in such utter idiocy.

There was never any real threat to democracy. There wasn't even really a riot. Those involved were qute peaceful and simply wandered through the building taking photos.

 

The fact that the BLM riots were far worse in every way, including being a far bigger threat to democracy, along with public safety, yet people are bringing up the Jan 6 incident in isolation, and saying only that needs to be remembered, really speaks volumes.
