    Well, I have to take your word for it. I didn't know but found it hard to believe that Pelosi kept the Republican appointed Sergeant of Arms of the House. In any case she is his (or her) boss and was around Jan 6.

    Also worth noting that those Q-GOP terrorists were targeting the House rather than the Senate. Why would they focus on the House if they weren't extremist rightwingers?

    You are trying to confuse Pelosi's control (day to day or otherwise) of the Capitol Police, which she has, with the specific directives for the Police to stand down (if there was such a directive) and the directives to not have riot gear and get no reinforcements (which were given) on Jan 6. Pelosi did not give those directives (as far as anybody knows), but the Board did.

    I suppose because the House was the location of the joint session for counting electoral votes. DUH!

    Show me anywhere that states the speaker of the house controls the capitol police board. They are overseen by congressional commitees, not the speaker. You are making the mistake of granting imaginary powers to Pelosi.

    For many that will be the truth. Of course it’s on any prosecution to prove otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt due to presumed innocence

    Why do you PERSIST in REGURGITATING your FACTLESS opinion?

    How about providing ACTUAL FACTS instead?

    Thank you for CONFIRMING that the Domestic Terrorist SUPPORTERS of YOUR biggest *LOSER* were attempting an INSURRECTION against the duly ELECTED government of We the People!

    DUH!

    The CAMERAS contain are ALL the EVIDENCE that the prosecution needs to CONVICT the Domestic Terrorist SUPPORTERS of YOUR biggest *LOSER*.

    They COMMITTED their CRIMES in FULL VIEW of the cameras AND even took selfies while ILLEGALLY inside the Capitol AND then they POSTED that selfie EVIDENCE all over the internet.

    No amount of "presumed innocence" is going to override that HARD factual EVIDENCE of their GUILT beyond any doubt whatsoever.

    Sad!

    That’s just it. The cameras for most will show nothing worse than trespassing with no vandalism or violence. Most while in the Capitol actually stayed within the velvet rope lines for tourists while there.

    More than 400 Domestic Terrorist SUPPORTERS of YOUR biggest *LOSER* have been ARRESTED and CHARGED with CRIMES that are DOCUMENTED by the CAMERAS as being significantly WORSE than trespassing.

    No mention of CHARGING those who were merely TRESPASSING.

    FACT matter!

    I did nothing of the sort, no implication, not even a wisp of a hint. But separate from me, not one single part of your post has even one iota of accuracy.

    These are YOUR own WORDS;

    NOT my problem that YOU clearly STATED the insurrection INTENTIONS of those DOMESTIC TERRORIST supporters of YOUR biggest *LOSER*.

    Sad!

    To protest peacefully and patriotically?

    You know what I say about emojis, don't you?

    What happened on 1/6 was NEITHER peaceful NOR patriotic.

    Sad!

    FTR what you want to BELIEVE about emojis is entirely up to YOU.

    In essence there is ZERO difference between the abbreviation ROFLOL and the corresponding :roflol: emoji.

    Do YOU have a PROBLEM with abbreviations? :eek:

    After 6 pages of thrust and parry over a "Stand Down" order that may or may not have happened,

    1) Did a crime take place ?
    2) If so, What crime ?
    3) If so, how serious ?
    4) If so, what should be the consequences ?

    And remember, folks, you are setting a precedent with your answer.
