    Trump's "Call to Violence" Against FBI as He Faces Espionage Act Charges Is "Replay" of Jan. 6 Riot



    Trump is clearly weaponizing his base. Yet, again.

    Threatening federal officials is a crime. An asshole just got three years for threatening Dr. Fauci.

    Fair enough, some of it appears like it would be something I would categorize as a riot -- but the difference here that I am trying to draw a distinction to is that there was not a highly organized insurrection to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President. In my original post I used the word revolt, which was a better word to use in my second post.

    Sweet jesus. You asking me for a link? Most of you live around Portland, where the federal courthouse was seiged for 100 days. They tried to set it on fire with people inside. That alone was more violent than jan 6.

    Blm riots were extremely violent and democratic leaders supported them and contributed to their bale.

    Antifa goon shot guy on cold blood, countless assaults. Your so brainwashed you can't see reality.

    Pay bale? A bale of hay? I do recall horses in Portland. Not sure of the relevance.

    Do you think most of the people in the various posts in that thread committing crimes are republican or democratic leaning people?

    Most street criminals aren't particularly tuned into politics, I'd imagine.

    There was no coordination. That was an act of an individual, who is now in prison. Nobody ever supported that person. And that building was never in danger of being burned.

    They were protests. No Dem leaders supported violence. Just the right to assemble and protest.

    We've gone over this. According to the shooter, that was self defense. The video appears to back that up. The deceased was harrsssing protestors, and chasing the shooter.

    You don't get to harass, threaten, and chase people while open carrying a semiautomatic weapon with multiple extended magazines, and then claim you are a victim when the person you're chasing fights back.

    And the illegal hit on a US citizen, ordered by Trump, is just more proof of his authoritarian desires. As was his support of using violence against protestors. Which is why the deceased and his gang was there in the first place. With the support of Trump and law enforcement.

    The problem with this is republicans are constantly called on by the left to condemn those doing harm within thier own.
    Where are the Dems condemning their own?
    Where is your statement, “yes it was also wrong of the left to do so and so…”
    its always minimized and excused like you basically just did.
    Because someone isn't in the same room as where they broke in and lit a fire its minimized?
    No one was in the white house rooms that were broken into, so no one was in danger their either then correct?

    huge double standard.

    “They were protests. No Dem leaders supported violence. Just the right to assemble and protest.”

    no one supported it. Just turned their backs on it, but then rail on republicans when they turn theirs back on things and don't speak up.

    huge double standard my man. Huge.

    Nobody turned their back on anything. The fire was put out by protestors, the individual was turned in by protestors, and the video that convicted the guy to prison was taken and turned in by protestors.

    There was no support at all for this person. Nothing was dismissed. This person is in jail where they belong. The protestors handled it correctly. No further action was needed.

    No double standard. Anybody who commits property damage, theft, or violence should be arrested and charged. As this person was.

    What else are you suggesting I do?

    The people broke into the White House should also be tried. Same standard. If anybody ordered them to do it or enabled it they should also be tried and convicted.

    Just as any Dem leader who encouraged violence should be. But no Dem leaders have done so, as far as I am aware.

    Not pinpointing that one instance overall, only specified it because it was already mentioned.

    let me ask this. Where are the dems regularly condemning the actions being done by those in the Americas crime spree thread?
    Its like picking a needle out of a haystack.

    I would say condemn equally is all. Many here do not do so and it comes off as very biased.
    I recall reading in a thread that if one doesn't speak out against, they are in support of.
    Looks like many people support the crimes sprees the left has been engaging in.

    can you please stop saying no one or anyone and just speak for yourself? I am sure you agree you don't know what everyone says or doesn't say out there in the world.

    Can you please be specific? Who is supporting the increased crime? Who is actively encouraging it?

    No, unless you can show me evidence of somebody supporting those things they were not being supported by anybody who matters.

    I'm not sure what you want Dems to condemn. Please be specific?

    okay. You yourself have said if republicans don't actively speak out against things, they are effectively supporting.

    How is that not carried over to this topic of crime? And how is this standard not held against dems like it is reps?

    Where are the numerous posts on this site and in the social media world, from the left, condemning the crimes happening?

    To your credit, ive read you, more than most here, condemn things from both sides. Most of the left does not though. Its plainly evident in the crime spree thread.

    How many left leaning posters post in there that things happening aRe wrong vs how many regularly post what the reps are doing is wrong and they should call out thier own?

    Calling out there own is a two way street and from my vantage point, its skewed one way in a pretty drastic way.

    You say call out there own as if random street crimes and smash and grabs are all done by democrats? And for reasons of supporting democratic policies? It's one thing to condemn a crime where someone does it in your name or support. the crime spree tread is random criminals that nobody would support. Why would democrats have to specifically condemn a random individual that robs a plaid pantry? Maybe use specifics instead of talking in grand sweeping generalizations?
