    In the stiffest punishment yet for a Jan. 6 defendant, a N.J. man was sentenced to 41 months for assaulting a D.C. police officer

    Scott Kevin Fairlamb is the first person sentenced for assaulting a police officer in the Capitol attack. The gym owner punched a D.C. police officer outside the Capitol and later apologized for his actions.

    Violence is part of the liberal American culture and then they want to be excused for their actions blaming the police or anybody else for their poor choices. That's the truth! Stupidity is part of the American culture and the liberals lead the way.

    A fiery but mostly peaceful protest.

    What does that have to do with the topic, Jan 6th '21?
    I agree that the events you bring up are ugly sides of our society, and should be dealt with as such, BUT you are using them not as other examples of ugliness but a way to deflect the ugliness of Jan 6th. They also differ in that the protests were aimed at influencing our government to address real issues of wrong doing. The Jan 6th event was orchestrated to subvert the democratic process of electing our representative officials. Both reprehensible, but separate events that really have nothing to do with each other.
    If you can demonstrate the relevance to each other, please do so.

    Trust me on this, there are no boundaries for stupidity in America. There are idiots on both ends of the spectrum, and many in between. You are deluding yourself to think it's a one-sided thing.

    You have to read the threads that the person was responding to before you jump to your faulted conclusions.

    The January 6th event was not orchestrated at all. It was a protest that turned into a riot, just like all of those I quoted. Not different. If you watch the beginning stages of people entering the Capitol it was all calm with police directing them where to go. It transitioned to something worse over time with several bad actors.

    And let us not forget, an unarmed woman was allowed to enter the building and then killed by a coward! Had that woman been black and killed by a police officer on the street our country would have spun on its head, even had she been threatening them.

    Where in my statement did I say anything about the conservatives not having a violent side? I said violence is part of the liberal American culture. There is no delusion there. It is fact.

    Appeals court temporarily blocks release of Jan. 6 documents to consider Trump's request

    A three-judge panel agreed to pause the release of Trump White House documents to a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and scheduled arguments in the case for Nov. 30. The House panel had been set to receive the documents on Friday.

    Another stalling tactic from Trump?? He is behaving like he has a lot to hide.......and that makes him look very suspicious.


    How sad that he can't go away with a true dignity of a former POTUS...........But then many continue to support and reinforce his dysfunctional, and delusional behavior. They seem to perceive him as the "strongman" type...........(like Putin).......and others of his ilk)..............and they like that. They see that as "strength) while ignoring all the negatives of the man. The main one s being his personality disorder and his contempt for true democracy. At his core....he is a dictator........and controls others with fear, threats .......and other nasty tactics......including lawsuits.

    Nope.........Violence is an integrated part of the AMERICAN cultures...... Violence is not partisan ........until it tries to over tun an election..........like they do in despot nations. That is how far the Red hatters have gone now. This tells us just how far they weld g o to get their way........... and tonally ignore the fact that this is a DEMOCRATIC Republic....It is as if they are tried of democracy and want something authoritarianism..........which they would get with Trump.

    Former Trump aide Mark Meadows is no-show for deposition before Jan. 6 investigation committee

    Mark Meadows, who served as former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, did not appear Friday before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Meadows, like several other Trump aides, has indicated he is waiting to see whether Trump is able to invoke executive privilege to shield his testimony.


    https://links.nbcnews.com/click/256...Tk2NTgxZWZh/5dfd4928dabb3400482e342dC71173457

    Not exactly adult responsible behavior..........But very Trumpian... where the rules don't apply..........and are made up as they please.

    This conduct suggests that riots, uprisings, and attempts to over throw an election........are acceptable in this country. It also suggests that Trump is controlling these people with an iron fist. and this is anti democratic.

    It also suggests that ONE MAN......... is more important than the country, than democracy ........and the law.

    Steve Bannon indicted for defying Jan. 6 committee investigation

    he Justice Department has charged Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to President Donald Trump, with two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide documents and testimony to investigators probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/...-defying-jan-6-committee-investigation-521177


    The House referred Bannon to the Justice Department for prosecution last month, after he refused to cooperate with a congressional subpoena. The move is a major victory for the Jan. 6 select committee, which has viewed Bannon’s recalcitrance as a stumbling block in their probe, encouraging other potential witnesses to stonewall investigators.


    Good. This kind of behavior is getting tiresome...........But worse...... it reflects badly on the country and its system........(and people).

    A protest that some turned into a riot at the Capital. Who has been charged with anything more than that?

    What kind of behavior are you talking about? Do not citizens have a right to due process? Is there not a Constitution? This committee under it's charter cannot write up legislation. Congressional subpoena can only be issued for legislative purposes not investigations and let's see what we can find inquiry especially into private citizens. Has Bannon been charged with any crime associated with Jan 6? If so by whom and for what?

    And for what is he being called to testify about? What happened in the Oval Office, his discussions with the President? They have no right to that testimony.

    Remember when the Generals and Secretary of Defense were testifying before both houses of Congress and members would ask them about what they said to or advised to the President and they state they could discuss those conversations with the President and they would move on.

    NO..........the truth is that Americans (non partisan) are very prone to violence......when it does n t have to be.

    Why make everything a partisan issue?? That only contributes to the major divisiveness that already exists.

    The only thing I think that should be examined is what involvement the federal police forces had in it and whether or not those federal police forces you should continue to exist.

    They tried to organize a second rally in September and that's when we were all introduced to the phenomenon known as a glowie.

    I wonder why you're so caught up in the tribalism of this to punish the Trump people when in reality everybody in the federal government knew what was going to happen it could have produced a bigger police force. They chose not to prepare in the slightest and that seems extremely fishy.

    I'm thinking FBI was involved they seem to only be able to solve crimes they commit.

    I feel sorry for them. The media has gotten them so incredibly invested into tribalism they don't care about the Constitution just as long as the people they view as their enemy who really aren't are prosecuted to the fullest extent of above and beyond the law.

    I really think there was some justice department knowledge about this event before it happened. I didn't say a word because they wanted it to happen.

    I'm thinking an event a lot like the Reichstag fire. We saw in September federal police tried to provoke another January 6th style thing and failed. That was the event that the only person arrested was a federal agent that seemed to vanish from the news the second it was determined that it was a staged event.

    I'm wondering if the January 6th event was the same way and people just didn't know any better

    There was bound to be a few people there with screws loose. He did recover a couple of weapons and a couple of Molotov cocktails but they're not saying who's they were. Who brings such a thing to a riot and doesn't use it.

    Look at what they did to James O'Keefe and veritas if you don't know who that is you need to know.

    'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley sentenced to 41 months for role in Capitol riot

    Captured in photos on Jan. 6 in horns, fur and face paint, one of the most recognized figures in the attack on the U.S. Capitol had pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of Congress. Prosecutors had asked that Chansley serve 51 months, saying he came into the building with a six-foot spear and left a threatening note for Vice President Mike Pence. Chansley's attorney said he cooperated with authorities and suffers from mental health problems.

    Roger Stone and Alex Jones subpoenaed by House committee investigating Jan. 6 attack on Capitol by pro-Trump mob


    The select panel issued subpoenas to five individuals, seeking records and testimony. Stone, a longtime ally of former president Donald Trump, reportedly was in Washington on Jan. 5 and 6, the committee said. Jones, the far-right radio host, reportedly helped organize the Trump rally on the Ellipse.

    I love it when my government wastes time in the midst of the beginning of the Third Great Depression.
