US Capitol breached

did you even read what you posted? let me help:
oh, but i digress. to have made this a peaceful protest, fires would have had to be started and looting to occur.
though there was a few deaths and the police stood down.
conservatives are new to this "peaceful protest" thing. We'll work on that for the next four years.

These things are not mutually exclusive. Trump's been inciting these events for weeks (and months, and years) on end. That's why it was a misnomer to seek out some specific sentence or phrase in the Jan 6th speech that was a 'smoking gun.' It's been literally everything he's been saying, before, during and after the election. How the whole thing was a fraud, how he won in a landslide, how the election was stolen, how people needed to step up, or face losing everything, that they need to stand and fight, and on and on. That just threw oil on the fire of an amped-up, hardcore extremist base who hold these same views to begin with.
Thankfully, this thing seems to be simmering down, and hopefully the Bogaloo Boys and Oathkeeper clowns back off their threats for the weekend and Inauguration week.
I think to some degree you are buying a narrative here. We have the best health care system in the world. We did before Obamacare and we do now. Sure, it has issues, but it is still the best. Maybe it shouldn't have been messed with to the degree it was with Obamacare. Little tweaks may have been good enough. The problem with a Republican response is to fix a mess like Obamacare now takes another government answer. Is that really what we want?

Please contact the FBI and share your knowledge of the planning of the attack.

They don't care. Let the peasants squabble. Just keep them away from us.
So true, ha ha!
I'm looking around....
Nope...can't think of a single Conservative I know personally, indirectly, any talking head I may listen to or any article I've ready where they have called for Unity.
Stupidest meme of the month. Conservatives aren't calling for unity. Those calls came from the Left after Biden was media-dictated President Elect. For about a damn solid week, we heard calls for unity from the Left.
You may find one Conservative, somewhere, who may have called for it, but I'm not hearing it, not seeing it, and not reading it. It certainly isn't in the Conservative talk track or thought pattern today for sure.
and, again, as pointed out pages ago - even though you prefer to stay on the current page and go forward (komrade) until it suits your purpose to go backward - it is in how his words are interpreted.
you've been shown how Dem politicians have used more abrasive terms, called for more violent actions, sometimes - most - in the same breath. Yet you've never, not once, considered clutching your pearls over their violent rhetoric. Why? Why not? Is it because it would upset the apple cart of your bias?
I will say this - and it's something that has been overlooked, i believe.
the BLM protests, you know - the "peaceful protests" that sparked billions in buildings burned down, businesses torched and gone bankrupt, store owners beaten and others shot and trampled by the massive, violent mobs have something in common with what happened at the Capitol Building.
the vast, vast majority of the people there did not want violence. they didnt want to see things go sideways. they wanted their voices heard.
we've seen videos and tweets after the fact of BOTH protests from antifa shitheads wanting to cause disturbance. you see these antifa shitheads - the same goddamned ************* you, Tibs, compared to brave, selfless American soldiers landing on the banks of Normandy - strolling through the streets of cities, smashing windows with their skateboards and starting the uprising. If you care to see it, there are the same tweets prior calling for antifa shitheads - the same goddamned ************* you, Tibs, compared to brave, selfless American soldiers landing on the banks of Normandy - collaborating on how they would create chaos at the Trump rally.
the very ******* fact that politicians from both sides refuse to see this should be brow-raising (not you, BAS).
both sides are pointing fingers at each other. The Left is using this as - correction - used this as another way to get at President Trump. Afuckingmazing that these cucks, cocksuckers, butch lesbians, champions of 5,366 genders somehow managed to come together and pass impeachment on President Trump in a matter of days, but drag their goddamned ******* feet to help American taxpayers during a pandemic. PROOF that they do not give one goddamn about any of us. Only when it concerns them, do they act. ONLY THEN.
that the spineless, ***** Republicans sided with the evil Left shows that politics is all a goddamn charade. these ******* are all about themselves. not you, me, or anyone else in this country.
**** every single one of them.

You could throw into the 2020, burn,loot,destroy,attack...UNITY.
Supe addressed most of this garbage. Allow me to add what you consistently, persistently and intentionally overlook and refuse to ackwoledge.
What we saw on January 6 was really no different than what we saw across the nation last year. <-------that is the KEY point
You and the Left can and do argue they are different based on nuance. The Right can do the same.
You'll say last year was about social justice (an angry populace) and therefore warranted. The Right will say January 6 "protests" were likewise warranted as our personal freedoms, our liberties and the integrity of elections are at stake.
You'll say the Right's January 6 protest was more wrong because it was an attack on Congress, our Federal Government. The Right will say last year was full of attacks on Federal facilities and our Government, correctly.
You attempt to argue that Trump fanned these flames with his continual rhetoric leading up to Jan 6 and "therefore" he incited the violence, though he never called for violence. The Right will say last year countless numbers of your leaders implored their followers directly to violence in some cases, in others imploring them to take to the streets. Hell those calls came from Obama after Trayvon and Floyd. The Left leaders from Maxine to Nancy, to the Squad, to so many others, near demanded their minions take to the streets.
You'll argue that the Right planned and coordinated the attacks on Congress on Parler. Likewise, it has been shown, printed, documented, evidenced that the Left planned their insurgency last year on Twitter and Facebook. Facts. It has also been shown, printed, documented that AntiFa gave out instructions on Twitter on how to infiltrate the Jan 6 protests posing as Trump supporters. The Tweets are out there.
In every way, what happened last year is no different than Jan 6. None. If ANY difference were to be made, one can make the logical argument that Trump never asked for violence. We can use quotes to show the Left in fact did call for violence.
Last year was no different than Jan 6.
What IS IN FACT different is how those incidents were handled compared to January 6. Handled vastly differently by our politicians and our media. This is what millions of Americans plainly see that you continue to spin as you try to paint them as "different."
Big Tech didn't shut down their services last year when AntiFa and BLM planned attacks, coordinated the delivery of bricks and 2x4s for riots and protests. They did shut down Parler and ban people from Twitter for Jan 6. The Left stood down and allowed last years' carnage to happen, refusing to step in, refusing to ask the violence to stop, refusing to condemn it. Now, the Left is making lists, asking for a purge, and to cleanse America. Last year the Left refused to allow the National Guard to come in to protect the innocent and businesses and restore order. In fact they called Trump a tyrant for wanting to do so. Now the Left has demanded and made sure the National Guard is being used to quell any future protests that may get out of control.
All of this you willfully refuse to accept and see. We see it.
You can spin and genuflect until you are blue in the face to justify differences between the two. There is none, save for how both sets of incidents were reacted to.
Anything different is blatantly wrong.
You realize this. You're just pushing an agenda.

This is incorrect. I am not 'pushing an agenda.' Never have and never will. Just like yourself and others here, I present my own views and opinions on this board. You happen to strongly disagree with them, and likely don't appreciate my delivery, as it gets under your skin. I tell it like it is, exactly how I see it, often crossing the line by being too vociferous and confrontational.
But I am not pushing any type of agenda. If I am doing that, you may as well say every Trump supporter here is doing the same.
As hard as it may be to stomach, this is who I am, these are my own views. I'm a lifelong, left-leaning conservative. Admittedly, I've had a rock-hard boner for the last four years in opposing Trump in every which way, and every step of the way. That's been a visceral, gut reaction on my part to the man himself. My opposition to all things Trump is not part of any agenda, or some liberal conspiracy, pushed on my by others. I own it, 100%.

All there to preserve a fraudulent US Election and protect government business while politicians failed overwhelmingly to protect American small businesses and citizenry from Leftist violence and insurrection in 2020.
Go figure.

Just when you thought the embers of the violent, far-right MAGA insurrection are dying down, Sojourner comes along to provide us a stark reminder how and why the Capitol was stormed last week, why 15,000 troops are currently securing the Inauguration in DC, and why State Capitols are on high alert throughout the nation. Thanks, Sojourner!
don't worry, Tibs. you've now shifted from RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA and corrupted elections to screaming that our election process is the MOST pristine on the planet. virginal even. Four years ago, it was awful and should be overhauled. Electoral college should be abolished. Now? NOW that your idiot is "President-elect" you've ceased calling for abolishing the electoral college. Because your idiots will seek to make states of areas that probably should not be given statehood - and by doing so would effectively end the Electoral College for the foreseeable future.
congrats on pushing for more corrupt elections and election processes.
and plan on hearing more about "fraudulent elections" for the next 4 years, since it's quite obvious that is a painful point for you to accept.

I don't know how anyone can equate an attack on the Capital with protests that lead to looting retail stores. These two things are light years different.
because you're a low-IQ simpleton idiot who doesnt understand ****.
If you're not already, you should be consuming your meals through a straw in your vegetative state.

Indeed. In fact, it's one of the more shocking things that's played out over the past 59 pages of this thread.
If you wanted to summarize it, what's irked the Trump supporters on the board more than anything else, is that the reaction to the events at the Capitol were not matched in kind to the reaction to the rioting and looting that took place this summer during the BLM rioting.
In other words, how dare anyone be this upset by the storming of the Capitol who wasn't at least this upset by the BLM/Antifa events in the past?
That's it, that's the gist of it.
Of course, what they are ignoring point-blank, is the simple fact that white, conservative MAGA supporters of the President went on a violent rampage, attacked police like savages, killed one with a fire estinguisher, broke through police barriers, busted through doors and windows, threatened to kill the Vice President and sitting members of Congress. These facts and the actual events on the ground don't seem to trouble anybody.
Again, how dare you raise your voice and be upset by this? Where were you six months ago when stores were looted and buildings set on fire?
It's absolute insanity.
It also shows how this violent, seditionist attack on the Capitol seems to have shaken the 'woe is me' Trump supporters to the core. They cannot digest these events, or wrap their heads around the fact their very own, the MAGA base and staunchest supporters of the President, went down the same exact path of sowing violence, chaos and mayhem that the wild mobs of Antifa and BLM have done in the past.
Their extended moral outrage about BLM/Antifa protests has been summarily reduced to a pile of ashes. Because there is no possible way you can argue that there's an inkling of difference between the maniacal, far-right MAGA base, and the crazies on the left. Those two are now on equal footing, forever linked, by their violence and barbarism.
And that is simply unbearable for conservatives to confront and to accept.
Hence all the wild discussions we've seen of false equivalency, amplifying how people are reacting to these disjointed events, while completely ignoring the actual events themselves.
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. you're absolutely insane or choose to not read/understand what has been laid out in specific detail over the previous pages.
I don't know why you waste your time. Beat your head against the wall instead. Try this: Cities destroyed by ANTIFA/BLM= frustration, Capitol invaded by violent Trump/MAGA mob=terrorists

Burning federal buildings, Courts and taking over police stations isn't looting retail retail store you dumbass. There is a direct correlation! In fact these were worse as they burned them sometimes doing so whil people were inside and they tried to brick them in! Stop being willfully ignorant.
