    In a rare moment of clarity, McConnell said, the day after 1/6 and on the floor of the senate:

    Noting that the items in red were given at every rally for many months:

    "Having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth."

    "This was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories orchestrated by an outgoing president who seemed determined to either overturn the voters' decision or else torch our institutions on the way out,"

    "There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day," " Mr. Trump watched the events unfold on television."

    "A mob was assaulting the Capitol in his name,"

    "These criminals were carrying his banners, hanging his flags and screaming their loyalty to him."

    So, if you want to nitpick over the word 'organize', fire away, it's a moot point, given the gravity of McConnell's argument, which is, in fact, quite accurate.

    What gives you the idea that we owe Putin some sort of consideration?

    I realize that Trump fully intends to betray Ukraine, and that his isolationist base would cheer when he does his Neville Chamberlain imitation.

    So they did have weapons?

    Whether they did or did not is a fact and can be proven. That's the difference between fact and opinion.

    I think you mean he’s not an interventionist and he’s not an elite establishment type.
    They are the most opposite to that you can get.

    My pleasure. Governments ability to abuse power is in direct proportion to the lever of resources they control. To use an example you can understand, lets say that government wants to ban abortion. You need lots of people with guns, eyes and ears everywhere, and of course prisons. This is not cheap. Because abortion laws are impossible to enforce, there is no way to ban abortion unless you raise taxes significantly.

    Of course, Dems have already done that where I live. A main factor in imposing authoritarian rule, is having a weak and dependent society. Disarming them is the first step. Here in the Dems petri dish, citizens have no secondment amendment rights. Only cops (And criminals) carry guns here. So if they decide that I must wear a mask while taking a walk in the park, people with guns will force me to wear the mask, pay a fine, of lose my freedom. Did you know that mom-n-pop businesses were forced to close their doors while people could crowd Walmart to buy the exact same item? Those controlling the resources deemed Wallmart "essential" and have the power to decide who gets to earn a living and who must become dependent.

    "If it pleases the crown, I would like to support my family!"

    Both parties abuse power. Dems are just a bit worst.

    It would be more clear if you actually offered real life examples of the Democrats abusing power.

    You didn’t bother to even attempt to acknowledge anything that was said. It doesn’t matter that they didn’t have weapons (some of the did btw). The goal was to get Pence to not certify the election.

    Again, how do you not know this? Are you able to comprehend what the fraudulent electors were set do to? I can post a few links if you would like to inform yourself

    I will keep it in mind when the next riot happens and you interject — I’ll remind you it wasn’t an issue because they didn’t have weapons.

    Bbbut they didn’t have tanks and F16s! Therefore, they were not trying to stop the transfer of power! They were just like really angry tourists who deliberately tried to stop congress from certifying the election! Because the enraged Orange Failure told them to “fight like Hell”.

    So I will ask you the question that other Ukraine supporters seem to shy away from....

    How many more billions and billions of our taxpayer dollars should we give a foreign Nation to worry about their border and how long should we continue doing it?

    Hmm. Mark Milley thinks Trump’s unqualified, and so does his ex-VP. I’m sensing a trend here.

    That comment makes it appear you don't believe infringing on second amendment rights or forcing certain businesses to close is an abuse of power.

    You know very well that Trump did everything to stay in power after losing the election.

    I think what we have learned from people in the media and on the world stage in the last 8 years or so is that anyone that shits themselves and screams NAZI!!!! and FASCIST!!! is a ****ing retard who obviously has no clue what NAZI!!!! and FASCIST!!!! even means. Milley is a leftist sycophant. I dont see any reason to expect anything less from him...and certainly nothing more.

    He is anti-American. And people who have worked with him recognize the danger he poses, and have spoken out. Despite the personal cost.

    I heard Trump’s kooky claims about the Venezuelan gang. Do you have a source for your non claim beyond just asking me to “look it up”.

    I’m also asking for a source about the FBI. You don’t have one, do you?

    No, what we've learned is that seditious Trump supporters will attack our Capitol, piss on our Constitution, and spit on our military and defend any criminal and pedophile as long as they share the same ideology.
