    There was only one person who was violently killed that day, and it wasn't anyone defending the Capitol. The election certification continued right after the Capitol was secured. Previous attempts to disrupt official government activities were never considered an insurrection. It's only when it involved a sitting President that the democrats suddenly redefined riots or attempts to disrupt an official government proceeding as an insurrection. Of course doing so could potentially keep Trump from holding the office of the POTUS. The others didn't involve him.

    Most were prosecuted. Most of them paid fines...that's what happens when you are found guilty.

    The Kavanaugh protesters did not overrun police barricades, they did not assault police officers, they did not illegally enter the Capitol building, they did not illegally remain in the Capitol building after being told to leave, they did damage the Capitol building, they did not cause the House chamber to be evacuated.

    But other than that...yeah, they did the exact same thing as the people on 1/6 (Hint: That's sarcasm)

    And yes, they have been convicted of trying to stop the certification.
    There is no specific charge for stopping the certification, it falls under "obstructing an official proceeding" and MANY have been convicted of that.

    Actually it was after police were assaulted and, as you admit yourself, members of Congress had to be evacuated for their safety.

    So, yeah...an insurrection.

    The Kavanaugh protestors broke the law. They were never convicted. No one's above the law. Right?

    They WERE convicted. Where do you get the idea that they were not?

    The Trump goon attack on outnumbered police failed to prevent Congress from formally recognizing the certified electoral votes of all the states. Th goons were incited to attempt to sabotage the democratic will by a loser's lie.

    The disgusting spectacle has been condemned by decent Americans, Republicans as well as Democrats, and America's judicial system continues to bring the Trump goons to justice.

    I'm not sure what your point is. Have I ever justified the riot of 1/6? No. In fact I've said on several occasions the idiots only made it worse for those who really believe in law and order. The MAGA supporters are being demonized because of the actions of a few idiots.

    The Loser who incited his goons, over a thousand of whom have been identified, captured, and prosecuted, still can't summon the integrity to respect the democratic will.

    Trump's persistent lie that he won?

    I have noted the documented reality.

    You are under no obligation to accept it if you don't like it.

    You don’t know what you’re talking about. He wanted the suspected corrupted electors sent back to the states for an investigation and confirmation.

    Face the truth.

    The loser refused to accept the will of the People as expressed in a democratic election certified by all fifty states.

    There is no credible evidence of the Loser's stolen "Landslide!" nor has he even contrived who "stole" it or how over two years later.

    The Loser still lacks the integrity accept his rejection by the American electorate..

    After finding out how democrats edited videos and altered evidence in the Jan 6 investigations I hope they are all freed by the next sensible president who is Republican.

    If you say so.

    The documented reality of Americans having elected Joe Biden President of the United States in 2020 is a truth that a vestige of democracy-hating incorrigibles still have difficulty with, despite no credible evidence to the contrary, and no legal or legislative challenges anywhere.

    Seeing that 60% of the population believes the current president is doing a port job, that’s kind of telling.

    No, the certified democratic election is not impacted in any way by subsequent polling.

    The fact that the President is still preferred to the candidate he defeated by over seven million votes has no bearing on the 2020 election.

    When you look at Biden’s approval rating issue by issue, he’s doing far worse.
