    He's a hysterical Trump apologist who's completely ignoring uncovered facts. It's like they have time machines and travel back in time to 1/7 and then demand that people of reason, intelligence and common sense "prove it!!"

    Now I feel bad.

    But I hope you see my rather obvious point about the "not a big deal" crowd here.

    It doesn't matter if you feel good or bad. You cannot insult other members. It's an explicit rule of the forum. There are no exceptions.

    I wasn't insulting him. Does it matter that I'm proving my claim to about the folks who trivialize the January 6 attack on the Capitol?

    The thread is inquiring as to whether anyone on the forum supports or condones the 1/6 riot/coup/insurrection. The poster you quote is not laughing at it, nor is he supporting or condoning it. He is pushing back at the left's mischaracterization of the events to score political points.

    I thought you said: "It means that you're lowering yourself in support of a guy who can't communicate. And is always the opposite of reasonable."

    He "can't" communicate? He's "always" the "opposite" of reasonable?

    Really?

    And there it is---a preposterous reimagination of another post.

    You seem to be a a 1/6 "wasn't that bad" poster, too.

    Obama wasn't a birther for gods sake.
    Those who supported Trump's lies were called birthers.

    birther
    [ bur-ther ]


    noun
    a person who claims that the presidency of Barack Obama was unconstitutional, citing a belief that he was not born in the United States, or denying the authenticity of his birth certificate.

    Why don't you learn about what you insist on discussing?

    "Obama was a birther"?

    Obama went around claiming that he wasn't born in the US? *LOL*

    As to the rest of this ridiculous screed, if Trump wanted his sycophants to be "peaceful" why didn't he get off his cottage cheese buttocks and tell them to stop attacking the Capitol for over 3 hours?

    Why did he ignore warnings of impending violence? Why did his henchmen Roger Stone and Steve Bannon work with militias to plan the attack?

    Gore actually got the Florida election DECERTIFIED and then an unconstitutional order by the FSC to get the election overturned and his slate of electors to replace the certified ones and him the Presidency.

    He did twice and they weren't listening, he had no control over the ones who came there and started the riot before he even ended his speech. He was not responsible in making sure the Chief of Police at the Capitol and the DC police had adequate security for the expected crowds and possible persons who wanted to engage in violence.

    You don't know what happened in Florida 2000? Go read Wiki or something I have neither the time nor patience to write you out a report on the matter.

    Quit ************ and quote a source. Your credibility is already shredded and in tatters. Don't make it worse.

    What was the mixed message about "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard"? And SPECIFICALLY what was the aggressive BS which was "not-so-subtly telling them to attack the Capitol"? Come on, SPECIFICALLY?

    I think we all have seen what the Jan 6th committee has uncovered, there's only so much nothing the human brain can comprehend.

    I have "traveled" back in time? You're lucky I'm so reasonable (and literate).

    You might have a point if that's all he and the other traitors said and did, but since that isn't the case, you have no point.

    Do you really pay so little attention to news and investigations that this is really all you have?

    So, what else did he do? Come on SPECIFICALLY? Do you really pay so little attention to news and investigations that you cannot provide me a SINGLE fact to counter the evidence I have provided you?

    Oh, I do pay attention. But I'm not here to cite chapter and verse for a guy who chooses to learn nothing about the facts, but gets his nose out of joint when it's pointed out to him.

    Look it up. Better yet, the 1/6 Committee is going to issue a report. Which you won't read.

    You know I provided the facts for you when you raised doubts about Al Gore's behaviour, do the same for me or quit the field.

    You provide a wiki link with NONE of the information I requested from @Bluesguy. Wow. Good job.

    I already have. Numerous times. You're really suggesting that all of the evidence provided to the 1/6 committee that's public against one disingenuous statement from Trump, the attack, and then his refusal to do anything about the attack on the Capitol means he "didn't want it to happen"? That's ****ing ridiculous.

    You lose again.

    Not very reasonable, Rob.

    Nevertheless, he mounted legal challenges, didn't concede until weeks later.

    Yeah, was a good job, told everyone everything they needed to know and more. I aways win and I'm winning now and you know it, you have provided NO evidence whatsoever and you know it, you are absolutely ridiculous.

    You're very sissy Nemmy!
