    Trump supporters lie, biden supporters lie, surely the people who support neither also lie.

    What are we doing here?

    No, Trump did not order 10,000 troops to secure the Capitol on Jan. 6

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...-not-order-10000-troops-secure-capitol-jan-6/

    “Don’t forget, President Trump requested increased National Guard support in the days leading up to January 6. The request was rejected — by Pelosi, by congressional leaders, including requests, by the way, from the Capitol Police chief.”

    — Sean Hannity of Fox News, speaking to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Dec. 13

    What we also know is that President Trump wanted to make sure that the people that came, that there was a safe environment for that kind of assembly. And I’ve said that publicly before — the 10,000 National Guard troops that he wanted to make sure that everything was safe and secure. … Obviously having those National Guards available, actually the reason they were able to respond when they did, was because President Trump had actually put them on alert.”


    — Meadows, to Hannity

    It’s always dismaying when false claims that were previously debunked turn up as accepted facts months later. Yet, increasingly, Fox News hosts and their guests appear to live in a world untethered by the truth.

    As we have documented before, President Donald Trump never requested 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the Capitol that day. He threw out a number, in casual conversation, that is now regarded by his supporters as a lifeline to excuse his inaction when a mob inspired by his rhetoric invaded the Capitol.

    It’d probably be easier to list things he didn’t lie about. Smaller list.

    So then where do the people who know all politicians are liars stand when they know that what happened last year is wrong BECAUSE it was predicated on the BIGGEST liar to ever be in office?

    Because that's where I stand. It's fucked up no matter WHOSE side youre on, and the fact that there are people that got brainwashed by the biggest liar to ever be in office is the problem. The SINGULAR problem. With the stoking and the misinformation and the hatred. And that, for lack of a better word, trumps everything else. THATS the problem.

    We all know politicians are liars. But this is BIGGER than that.

    (I'm not directing this at you, just my point of view).

    And I am a HUGE Obama guy. Yet I know he lied too. But it never turned into this. Because it's bigger than just a politician lying. It's the misinformation and the stoking that led up to it that led to this SINGULAR epic issue.

    THATS the difference. And believe me, if it was a democrat who caused the disinformation and the stoking and the hatred I would be just as pissed and be an independent which is where I feel I'm at regardless.

    Trump attempted a coup of the US government... Biden has never done so.

    There is a big difference between supporting a coup and not.

    Kevin McCarthy said if Republicans get House majority, Adam Schiff, my congressperson Eric Swalwell, and Ilhan Omar will be removed from their committees. This had been punishment for egregious misconduct, which no one has alleged. Schiff and Swalwell were prominent in impeachment of previous guy and in January 6 investigation. Omar has been under the radar lately but she is female, Black, Muslim and immigrant so that's enough of a crime.

    Just had a random thought.. do you think the FBI has assets inside these fringe groups i.e. proud boys, oath keeps, ect.? You have to hope they have infiltrated them, right?!

    Law enforcement generally tends to be more concerned with left-wing fringe groups than right-wing, due to their own political leanings.

    Infiltrated, perhaps perpetrated.
