Lets do a recap, shall we?

BLM Riots: lasted 7+ months, 20+ murders by participants, hundreds of small businesses destroyed, 150+ federal buildings damaged, 1-2 Billion in damages, 2,037 officers assaulted, protestors bailed out, encouraged by the media and leftist politicians, downplayed by the media as "mostly peaceful"...

Jan 6th: lasted a couple hours, zero murders by participants, no small businesses destroyed, one federal building damaged, 1.5M in damages, 140 officers assaulted, protestors kept in solitary confinement, encouraged by fringe political groups and agitators, completely exaggerated by the media... and the sheep are outraged and now theirs a fuggin committee to investigate it.

And there ya have it, folks...

Insurrections and attacks on democracy don’t need a six part ABC produced miniseries to explain that they happened.

Well at least a few politicians got it right

There was no insurrection. Any attempt at saying there was is pure political bullsheit.

But I would question the reported 140 officers assaulted. I think they reported injured, not assaulted. And given the gravity of the situation I would wonder if 1/2 of them were legit, I’m sure quite a few put in claims without any injury but knowing they will all be accepted.

If it wasn't an insurrection can you tell me what would qualify as an insurrection? I'm being serious here.

CB, I think a coup would have occurred if those insurrectionists had a combined IQ of over 100. Fortunatly they did not. They were within 40 feet of Pence, and basically everyone else. They would have murdered Pelosi and Pence IMHO.

I think those presently convicted got off easy. People from multiple states seeking the same goal to illegally profit from. Profit is not necessarily monetary gain. The profit here would be Trump being president for a second term. Sure sounds like a RICO case to me.

No matter how agegious their breach of the capital was it pales when compared to their intent.

To listen to House Democrats’ — and Liz Cheney’s and Adam Kinzinger’s, but I repeat myself — shrieks of hysteria from the opening nights of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee dais is to hearken back to the Soviet-era show trials of yesteryear. Vladimir Lenin, as the veteran conservative commentator Roger Kimball reminds us, referred to them as “model trials,” wherein the “aim isn’t to discover the truth — which was supposedly already known — but to stage a propagandist exhibition.”

For Democrats, the aim of the Jan. 6 Select Committee’s “propagandist exhibition” is twofold: First, to attempt (in vain) to distract a besieged citizenry from the myriad problems now tearing asunder the country, under their leadership, in this midterm election year; and second, to lay the foundation for a Justice Department indictment against the 45th president that could hamstring his efforts to seek a second term come 2024.

To anyone paying even a modicum of attention — and I’d recommend no more than that — to the committee’s theatrics, it is obvious that the game is rigged. Consider as but one data point how Cheney, who will be looking for a new job come January, deliberately edited Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” exhortation from that fateful rally so as to omit the fact that he urged his supporters to make their way to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.”

Actually Whistle, you know the drill, moms have been off limits for a long time here. That being said, it is on me for letting a couple of things you have said put me in confrontational mode. I apologize for that.
