I keep hearing trumpists trying to focus on whataboutism and not the fact that this was a insurrection organized and perpetrated by trump and his supporters he so loves. There is a STARK contrast between the force and treament for BLM in DC and the preparations for Save America. That's a fact you can't whatabout or ignore. Its a lame false equivalency that what The PRESIDENT said and did on Jan6th to egg on his mob to fight to save america from the clutches of a legally elected Democrat by storming the capitol and acongressperson supporting peaceful protest of racial injustice. All of that hate and anger generated over bullshit conspiracy theories and outright lies. As for identity politics, that is EXACTLY what The Storm and Save America and MAGA is all about. The evil evil leftst BLM Antifa monsters coming to eat up all that southern cooking and destroy all those statues of racist traitors. How's this for identity politics - one of the inflammed by bullshit patriotic trumplicans accidently killed himself by tasering himself in the balls. Killed in action in true trumpian fashion.
LOL that you think Trump still has any power. No one is following his orders any more, not even Pence. He's done, irrelevant. His political career is dead, deceased, it has ceased to be, it has expired and gone to meet its maker, it is a late political career, it's a stiff, bereft of life, it rests in piece, if you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up daisies, it is an ex political career.
OK, how about "when BLM protested in DC it WAS different". We know what DID happen when BLM came to DC. No speculation required. Do you remember what happened? There were people in various sorts of uniforms everywhere. Some of those in uniform lacked identification - just like the guys in Portland who dragged people into unmarked cars and detained them without charge. Remember that? Rememebr the response of Trump supporters here? They cheered the 'little green men' snatching people off the street. Funny how Trump supporters bringing up Portland never mention that. Anyway, back to the DC protest. Do you remember the tear gas? The crowd wasn't rioting. They were just in the way when Trump wanted a photo op with Gen. Milley tagging along. Again, Trump supporters cheered. So, BLM protesters surrounded by men in uniform & tear gassed so Trump can get a picture in front of a church, Trump supporters allowed to smash into the Capitol building & murder a policeman. No need to imagine the difference, we cah just observe it. I keep wondering if I will see any Trump supporter just admit that this was wrong without then launching into an attack on BLM, Democrats, ANTIFA, media they don't like etc. I'm yet t osee on on this forum.
I am experimenting with pointing out to obvious to them occasionally to see effect. He has definitely lost most if not all of the center right, leaving only the racist/fascist/nationalists and other true cultists.
I must confess that I been having repeated attacks of shivering shadenfreude as retribution is finally upon him and his.
I don't think the Trump family will ever live in poverty. All they have to do is ask their followers to donate to their gofundme page to fight liberalism. Their followers are just so easily gullible.
I also look forward to seeing him face the consequences for his crimes and dereliction of duty after January 20. I was happy to just let him fade away after he left office, but his behavior since the election means that we now have to come down hard on him and his insurrection attempt if we want to preserve our democratic standards. His actions had consequences and people died as a direct result. That can’t be ignored.
black lives matter held entire cities under siege for months this incident does not fit the description of islamic terror
Didn't look like a bunch of insurrectionists to me. Looked like a few who took advantage of light police presence that led to a bunch of people there to protest to get caught up in entering the building. "The nation needs to heal" as heard from Biden and MSM. You want healing? Stop calling all of these people insurrectionists when it's obvious they weren't.

He can subcontract it to his penpal in North Korea. After all, Trump had already planned in being in Scotland.
Then you can explain why 70% of MAGA’s believe that the election was stolen, becuase Trump said so. And those MAGA’s were fervent enough to actually storm the capital with weapons to try to stop congress from actually doing their job, because they didn’t like what they were about to do. And maybe you can explain why so many of them were carrying ZipTies ? Lemme get that for ya....they were carrying them because they were going to “arrest” those legislatures and “put them on trial”. So while you yourself may use some critical thinking skills, thousands of Trump supporters have not, and did not. Those riots, and the charging of the US capital was insurrection, fully created by Donald Trump and his lies.
Oh I think the Democrat's sphincters are fully relaxed now that even his own VP no longer follows his orders. His political career has shuffled off its mortal coil.
I've told you a million times not to exaggerate. And the failed coup appears to fit the legal definitions of terrorism, sedition and treason.
Undoubtedly many in the mob were merely dupes, but too many weren't as both the chatter on social media beforehand clearly indicates and as their actions demonstrated. But I guess some people think that SAVE AMERICA, KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES, TRIAL BY COMBAT, BE STRONG AND FIGHT, WE WILL NEVER CONCEDE, WE WILL NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE, FIGHT FOR TRUMP, WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO LET IT HAPPEN, don't inflame emotions in crowds of like minded individuals. I guess the principles of mass psychology don't apply to to trumps faithful. As for healing, the first thing you have to do is cut out the gangrene or you die.[/QUOTE]
some democrats, but most will be laughing as he continues to squirm. There is a tsunami of legal woes coming his way in two weeks. I predict business is going to be bad for Trump Inc.
The reason the house leader has given is that she considers him too dangerous and unhinged to be allowed to stay in power for the remaining days of his presidency. I don't particularly like her or agree with her divisive tactics but it is hard to disagree with her on this.
If BLM does something wrong and they have how in the hell does that justify Trumpian terrorists attacking the Capital? I did not at least in post equate this Trumpian terrorist mob to Islamic terrorists. So were did that come from?
No, he should accept responsibility for trying to turn America into a banana republic and resign. Storming the seat of government and chanting ''hang Mike Pence'' is a coup.
