    Phony polls are meaningless.

    Make all the excuses you want for that traitorous SOB, but don't forget the video of Roger Stone conversing with the Oath Keepers just before they attacked the Capital.

    So find out what Roger Stone was talking with them about then. Pretty apparent that crimes committed by these militia persons had nothing to do with anything DT did that day as this was something they had decided before the day had even begun. Unless something more has come out on this, what I've read was they had conspired to breach the capital. I have not heard that they had planned anything beyond this operation or what they thought that would accomplish.

    While being sentenced and crying, they all claim to be following Trump's orders, and you seem to conveniently leave out Stone's role in the WH.

    I have zero evidence that Stone was talking with them about anything nefarious and neither do you, let alone trying to tie their discussion to DT. That is the stuff that crazy conspiracies are made of.

    So the Oath Keepers are saying they were following out DT's orders? When do the Oath Keepers say The Donald gave them these orders and what specifically did he tell the Oath Keepers to do? I think you're sadly lacking in facts and making up for it with a vivid imagination.

    that was not all Trump or his group of nut balls said though

    be like if someone said "Burn this ---- down" and also said “…peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” and one only recognized the later


    "this is a nice business you got here, be a shame if anything happened to it?"

    or like saying that is not a threat, he was complementing the store owner

    I see it a lot like deflate gate, then the "home" team tried to play down the deflating of the ball

    the 1-6ers were trying to steal the election, they believed they were doing it for Trump

    Umm, that wasn't a poll. That was a pundit handicapping the election.

    Maybe you should use Google before you make claims like that.

    The sitting President is responsible for much more because Americans say they are. It is as simple as that.

    I understand the lure of propaganda and hypotheticals, but it's always amusing to watch it claim it's followings ;)

    You don't understand Americans, clearly! Elections are a long way off, we have short attention spans and summer is a time we all turn our attentions to FUN TIMES.. Unlike others that live in the mire of politics as a full time job..

    And who was it that organized the entire thing, on that day, at that time, at that place?
    No one forced the Proud Boys to do anything, but there was a lot of coercion. Leaders that have followers have a responsibility. Trump failed miserably in the "leadership" aspect Jan 6th. So far, I've seen nothing concrete to actually charge him with legally, but morally he didn't just drop the ball, he booted it.
    But, if they can prove that Trump or his associates promoted the nutballs (Proud Boys, etc ) to get "wild", maybe they can make a incitement charge stick.
    I doubt it will ever fall on Trump, though. He makes sure he is insulated, someone else would take the heat. He never takes responsibility for anything, unless he likes it, then he will even take responsibility for something someone else does.

    Oh yeah, and Trump pardoned Stone because he was innocent. :)

    Well if you have a shred of evidence then present it. Conspiracy theories are fun but nothing more.

    The Trump admin organized the rally and then DT encouraged them to walk to the Capital. Not an uncommon thing in DC, although Trump's crowds tended to be significant which is why I believe he requested extra security. Could he have done more, I believe in hind-sight he could have handled it better. I'm of the opinion that Trump can be quite ego-centric which can lead to unintended negative consequences.

    No one faked the video. Why are you spewing absurdities? All you have is McCarthyisms.

    All we have is seditious conspiracy from Trump and his supporters. BTW, the investigation continues. :)

    Only in your imagination. Setting McCarthyism aside, seditious conspiracy to breach the Capitol by certain members of a militia group is all we currently have.
