Me? I read everything that comes before me, even in this post. But most people on the left refuse to hear anything that runs counter to the leftist narrative, even when it comes from their own side. Case in point, they are trying to cancel Jake Tapper because of his book on Biden's mental health cover-up.
So, rather than back your post with evidence, you instead continue to make unevidenced swipes at "most people on the left", which still says everything about you and nothing about actual people on the left.
There was a credible report that came out during the presidential campaign that she did support them, I will try to find it.
Yeah, maybe try looking up your "facts" before posting rather than making a vague promise after it's challenged?
Thanks for the link. Has interesting stuff on it.
Can you be more specific, because according to the persons who were detained, themselves, they spent months at a time in solitary confinement and were abused by the prison staff. Most were incarcerated without charges ever being filed.
Can you provide evidence for these bald assertions?
Thanks for the AP article, from one of the leading left-leaning publications in the country.
Lol. It is, indeed, one of the leading publications globally.
But speaking to the "dozens of people charged have been convicted of serious crimes and sent to prison." That's great, but there were 1700+ that were arrested. And most of them were not convicted or jailed. Only the "dozens" who committed arson, or other really serious crimes.
Apples and oranges. There were roughly 9,000 demonstrations that year over a period of many months in jurisdictions all over the country. If you don't like the results, take it up with the local prosecutors. You want to compare that to a single riot in a single location on a single day? They're not comparable.
Compared to the majority who were thrown in jail for January 6 for walking around looking and taking pictures of the building, only a handful actually committed a crime.
Yet another unevidenced, counter-factual claim. For details, see
this excellent, informative thread.
You all harp on the one cop who was beaten but refuse to acknowledge that one of the cops shot and killed an unarmed woman who was no danger to him, or that another woman was trampled to death from the hysteria (absolutely not a riot) that ensued from a cop shooting into the crowd outside. Neither of them were charged with anything. But nobody else was killed, just 2 Trump supporters. And the person who beat the cop served time in jail for it. The rest served 2-3 years with no charges being filed. THEY are the ones who did not get due process.
What a Gish Gallop! There were many more than a single cop beaten, the traitor Babbitt posed a threat to the people that the cop was charged with protecting, the trampled woman - ironically holding a "Don't Tread on Me" flag - died of a drug overdose. Who served 2-3 years without charges?
Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the House was in charge of the security of the Capitol.
No, she wasn't. Check your "facts".
The Sergeant at Arms (who is a member of the Capitol Police Dept.)) reports directly to her.
The House SSA reports to the Speaker and the House as a whole. The Senate SSA - equally responsible for security - reports to the Senate. Yet some people hypocritically want to put the blame on Mame but not McConnell? Pfft.
As chief law enforcement officer of the Senate, the sergeant at arms is charged with maintaining security in the Capitol and all Senate office buildings, as well as providing for the protection of senators. The sergeant at arms also has responsibility for and immediate supervision of the Senate floor, Chamber, and galleries. The sergeant at arms can compel senators to come to the Chamber to establish a quorum and helps to oversee the operations of the Capitol Police.

Trump offered her the National Guard, TWICE, and she refused on the grounds of "optics" (because she had recently appeared to support defunding the police, and it wouldn't look good. She, Nancy Pelosi, admitted that very thing to her daughter, who recorded it and turned it over. So there is audio evidence for that.)
Who decided the "optics" wouldn't be good? It was Trump who declined to deploy them until hours into the riot as he was the one with the actual authority. Let's hear your "audio evidence".
The proud boys themselves, said that two "new members" came in and proceeded to ask if there were plans to storm the Capitol, but there weren't, and the "new members" came up with the plan. The FBI refuses to speak to Congress about it because of "ongoing investigations". I believe the proud boys over the swamp.
That is ridiculous. Jan 6 was planned for months. The riot was a diversion until the fake electors could be presented - but that didn't work as planned.
Please support the statement about Babbitt. She wanted to make her voice heard (her right), and was in the process of climbing through a window when she was shot. She was unarmed and the other cops around the one who shot her lowered their weapons because they deemed that she was no threat. Your comments are so biased that it is unbelievable. Do you mean to tell me that 4 armed men couldn't subdue one small woman? Really?
The one small woman was the spearhead of a riotous mob. Four armed men stopped the mob by shooting the person at the forefront.
How would the cops know whether or not the person, trespassing, crawling through a window to get to the senators who were mere yards away was armed or not? She was not alone as you well know.
And, for the record, I believe nothing that comes out of the DoJ's office, him being the person who weaponized the DoJ.
What a surprise. But, yes, Trump has definitely weaponized the DOJ and made it hyperpartisan.
And Trump, The person who offered the National Guard twice, who told the people who came to his speech to peacefully and patriotically go to make their voices heard. I can see how that is instigating. j/k
One behind-covering phrase, in the middle of an hours long speech, did not mitigate the rest of the instigating rhetoric.
It's OK to have an opinion about something. That was Trump's only fault. It's certainly not nearly as much of an instigation as Biden saying someone has to take out Trump who is a threat to democracy and someone taking him at his word and actually trying to assassinate him. But sure, go peacefully and patriotically can be quite threatening.
It is a lie to say that Biden urged his followers to assassinate Trump. Oddly, both the men who attempted it were MAGA (but you think they were influenced by Biden
).
