    You’re not sure why? Maybe because every Fucking day we find more and more illegal shit that has gone on and nobody is ever held accountable? Literally each week Trump or one of his cult is found to have done something and nothing happens. You’re subpoenaed! No show. Nothing matters and nobody is held accountable. That’s why.

    ^TDS is real. And even two years after he’s gone it persists. Long TDS perhaps? Must be a terrible condition to live with.

    Sorry, can you please provide credible evidence to back up your assertion that Democrats caused more deaths than our Jan. 6 heroes?

    The difference is fairly minimal!
    bullshit!! They set a government building on fire with people inside!!!!
    Now watch it get minimized as.. “oh it was just a molotov cocktail on the outside of a brick building…”
    This is why conversing with you and some others on this subject is futile. You are incapable of referring to things impartially.

    people in masks set a building… screw it. They tried to set a building on fire ( they did more but I'm actually compromising here) with people inside. How you are downplaying that, is simply disgusting….
    The January thing was just as disgusting. But it happened first!!!
    So dont minimize one while saying the other was sooo much worse. Or you are simply wrong and i will continue to consider your posts satire…

    How did I downplay it? The fire started , the other protestors put the fire out and turned evidence over to the police which helped put the people responsible in jail.

    That's literally what happened. And good riddance.

    I'm not minimizing anything. I'm glad the responsible individuals are in jail.

    This is why it's hard to have a conversation with you.

    revisionist history. At the time it was happening this was not the take at all. Not one person was saying thats treason and they need ot be rooted out and arrested.
    There were comments like, no one got hurt, and the people werent in the section that was on fire, etc.

    I just did a search and cant find one article showing the arsenists were turned in by the protestors. Link?
    Or just more bs?
    Also come up with something original bro.
    You Re hard to converse with.
    No you are
    No you are
    ….

    is that what we have devolved to? Instead of proving your points, you just finger point back? Lol

    you say they literally did this, then i would think there would be a bunch of links from the liberal media showing how the innocent protestors turned in the criminals?

    not finding one link. Sorry.

    Who do you think took the videos which were used as evidence? The Proud Boys? It was very clear when the Proud Boys were down there. And they weren't there that night.

    The commissioner of the fire department said the fires weren't put out by the fire department. The protestors actually had emergency response teams who were putting out fires and giving first aid, etc.

    Nobody is defending the idiots starting fires in Portland. Nobody is minimizing them. Dumpster fires are what they are. Trying to burn down a building is arson.

    Attacking the nation's capital and beating police in an attempt to obtain and assault lawmakers and overthrow an election is simply different. Far, far different.

    So you don't have proof and because you think proud boys didn't take video it was the protestors and they turned them in?

    no link? no proof?


    Yeah i stand by my first statement. Nothing but satire….

    Original. The Trump hate continues because he doesn’t go away. He’s not gone, as you say. He and his shitbag followers persist. I would love it if they were “gone” as you claim.

    You are 100% correct! TDS is a very real thing and it DOES persist. And it IS a terrible condition to live with, because it’s proof that those in power are never held accountable for their misdeeds. TDS persists because of the incredible damage that asshole did to the American psyche. I honestly wish I could be as cavalier about it as you are, and I struggle to understand how you can be so combative about something so black and white as what happened on January 6th. It was an attempt to overthrow the legally elected government of America, and NO amount of spin or snark by you or anyone else can change the facts. I believe what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. Apparently the truth hurts your ideology so you deny the reality. No wonder America can’t move forward…….

    Johnnyboy just wants things kept in perspective and for everyone to know that Jan 6th was not worse than a nuclear bomb full of herpes.

    And Jan 6th was not worse than a blimp full of puppies crashed into a volcano. I really wish people who stop saying that it was.

    Trump physician and GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson 'broke legs off chairs to use as clubs and ripped the base off a hand sanitizer dispenser to wield as a baton' to confront Capitol rioters
    • GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson broke up furniture in an effort to defend the House chamber on January 6, according to Jeremy Peters' new book, Insurgency
    • Jackson and two other GOP lawmakers 'broke legs off chairs to use as clubs and ripped the base off a hand sanitizer dispenser stand to wield as a baton'
    • 'They picked up whatever furniture that wasn't bolted down - desks, cabinets, chairs - and piled it up in front of the doors,' the book said
    • Jackson took off his necktie as rioters approached thinking: 'it was best not to give them something to strangle you with'
    • Peters' book provided new details about the events on January 6, including what happened to one of former President Donald Trump's top allies
    • After the attack, Jackson went on to vote against the election results in Pennsylvania prolonging the joint session of Congress to count Electoral votes
