The POTUS Elect and I agree!!

Your use of "protester" vs "rioter" is as quizzical as CNN's ever was.

Allow me to say, quickly: Jayapal is a s**t person; she was double-speaking all over 10/7 and is just a snarling anti-West and antisemite at every opportunity. Efforts to get her out of office stalled repeatedly...some with my signature and statements on them.

BLM is increasingly obvious as a sham that marketed itself into being over the body of a teen thug who got killed by a wannabe cop asshat; their "protests" were another example of ignorance and rabble rousing...and anyone that did damage should be accountable, everyone of them that assaulted the police should be in jumpsuits, for years.

The Hildebeast is a full-on criminal, with her hubby in tow. One of the great failures of the GOP is to spend so many years swearing to their "peeps" that "HILLARY TO GO DOWN FOR LIBYA" and "HILLARY TO FACE CHARGES FOR..." over and over again, with no actual consequences. Toothless and pointless homophobes with a chapter of white nationalism; thy name is GOP.

I'm certainaly among those convinced that we've eroded our society for generations by eliminating consequences in the name of optics/PR, and it's damaging us with the failures in parenting, business ethics, and especially our elected trash. The fact that a known liar, philanderer, and utter whining b***h at any hint of accountability just re-gained Oval Office privileges shows how deep the damage is.

I went back and can't find any reference I made to rioters...including the molotov cocktail laden BLM "peaceful protesters"

All good my friend. I think we can turn this thread back to our regularly scheduled programming. Speaking of regularly scheduled programming, during the Monday night game the local news broke for the Police Commissioners press conference for the shooting here yesterday. That was fine...and understood...but than the local anchors spent 10 minutes summarizing all the press conference talking points and than they broke to a local reporter who spent another 10 minutes once again reiterating the same talking points. Thankfully, I had ESPN+ on my phone so I could watch the game on my whopping 7 inch display.

Hence, my wording: you used "protesters"...when they were rioters. The press did more than enough of that enablement.

Xfinity was out in my area, had to go to a sports bar...enjoyed the game, but I'll never give two f**ks for the "whiteout" unis.

Regardless of political affiliation, I think it would be fair to say everyone is in favor of treating protesters/rioters evenly?

467 people were jailed over January 6. The FBI estimates 2000-2500 participated in the capitol riot. That puts their incarceration rate at 20-25%.

Are there any other examples with an incarceration rate that high?

Still doesn’t change my mind that they should have shot the first person or two over the police line. Would have stopped that BS right there and then.

Do you shoot every protestor that crosses a police line?  I don't think the capitol building is any more important than a police line anywhere.  I do agree with the premise,   lawlessness needs to be treated the same in any situation.  When a protest crosses over the law it becomes a riot and should be shut down with force if necessary,  regardless of the intent.

Crossing a police line should be very, very foolish...but attacking the Capitol building because a pack of drooling drones had been fed bulls**t to the point that they were prepared to assault a central institution of our government?

That's obviously many, many steps more serious, and a genuine threat to our laws/governance. If they're willing to commit a crime of that magnitude, they should be willing to rot like unthinking zealots.

Attacking?   tell me you drank the koolaid without saying you drank the koolaid. A small % were guilty,  this was a political theatre by the left and their media minions and you apparently have bought it.  This was the war of the worlds all over again.

Apply logic,  if a group from the right really intended to violently overthrow the govt,  wouldnt they have shown up with a few weapons/guns?  The people that historically hold the 2nd ammendment as dear as a commandment from God,  but no guns that i recall.  To much of this defies logic to be taken at face value.  This was orchestrated by the left(FBI plants) and about the only thing  most of these people are guilty of is being gullible enough to follow a crowd.

Say you're covered in orange dust without saying you're covered in orange dust. I've pointed out how you've defended out past/future liar in chief before, and you're determined to keep that powder all over you. Hey, maybe it's a look in SD.

Sending a pack of largely unarmed (though some were prepared, by their own admission) blind loyalists into a horrible situation is pure terrorism 101, and more than 80 admitted to being armed with bear spray and other non-firearm weaponry; even the dinks stupid enough to mob the Capitol knew that a massive show of firearms would bring all forms of law enforcement and Guard in a hurry, setting up the unholy Chee-To as a full traitor with a pet militia.

Going after the computers and similar in the congressional quarters? Dude...I get that you and at least one other have binary minds, and if I'm not leaning right I MUST be a lefty...but I'm not limited to your itsy-bitsy scopes of reality, mmmkay? Please keep those limits to yourselves, and maybe wonder if they're a huge part of the problem (hint: they are).

This was almost as awful, still as cowardly, still defended by people determined to ignore the investigations and similar that ratified the election, and was s**t, commited by dumb s**t, spurred on by a known narcissistic lying sack of s**t.
The true horror is that the returning filth LOVED the attention, obviously still basks in it.

Yes. The police line was set up to protect the capitol building. There should have been secret service protecting politicians etc. 

Yes they should have shot them. Those folks who burned down the police station. Shoot em. Thugs go “shopping” in Target during a riot. Shoot em. Problems solved.

Have you ever repsonded to somebody that disagrees with you without trying to belittle them?  Your juvenile posting style has worn thin,  i wont bother with you anymore,  you just arent worth my time.  Go ahead and try and berate me in response,   i won't reply.
