It was an embarrassing black eye to America’s democracy. To any external observer. It’s embarrassing to try to argue to the contrary. Laws are a piece of paper. Cracks in democracy form when doubt creeps in on the people enforcing them. Trump put dynamite in those cracks. For now the country holds.
So THAT is your go-to response when people bring up Trump’s role in the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol??? You’d think he MIGHT be important to the discussion being POTUS and all at the time.*
I was a fool? I didn’t vote for him. And given all of his shenanigans before the election, I didn’t expect him to concede. I was just grateful we got his butt out of the WH without more bathsh!t craziness than we experienced.
The first time in the proud history of this great country that a peaceful transfer of power didn‘t take place — but that’s NOT a black eye? Whatever, man*
A peaceful transfer of power did take place. Stop watching MSNBC and wake the fúck up.
It was embarrassing for the people who were rioting. If that also makes you embarrassed for democracy, I don’t know what to tell you.
LOL Yeah, I forgot, what we all watched on Jan. 6th last year DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN!!!!
I suspect the Capitol police might have a different opinion.
That's like saying even though Antonio Brown made an embarrassing spectacle of himself in the Bucs/Jets game, it wasn't really all that bad because he walked off the field on his own.
No, what you’re saying is that if the Bucs and Jets play an excellent clean game, it wasn’t really a clean game if there are some fans who fight in the parking lot.
Anything short of the military getting involved is a peaceful transfer of power
Your analogy falls flat because Antonio Brown wasn't some fan in the parking lot. He was one of the Bucs' star players.
I’m not surprised you don’t follow the analogy. You’re one of the dumber people here.Your analogy falls flat because Antonio Brown wasn't some fan in the parking lot. He was one of the Bucs' star players.
I find it pretty damn impressive that you can spin your 'nobody believes Trump won' line while at the same time opining that 'Trump wasn't an instigator of the Capitol riot' with his morning warm-up "STOP THE STEAL" campaign-like rally prior to Congress's verification of the EC vote.
Yeah, everybody KNOWS Trump lost the election BUT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, he did nothing to instigate the Capitol riot?!??!
Truth be told, you're one of the better posters here. I don't know why you feel the need to throw in an insult with every post.
It has a lot to do with the fact you constantly put words in my mouth I’ve never said. When you do that consistently, I can only question either your honesty or your intelligence. I don’t believe you to be a dishonest person, but maybe you prefer to debate ideas you have a response for over ideas you don’t.
I've been posting back and forth with Shuckster for 15 years. He's not unintelligent, just very very disingenuous lately.
I understand where he’s coming from. He’s singing the same song as the Capitol rioters, just a different verse.
Doesn't matter at this point.
“It is unclear who wrote the draft order, which is full of legal language asserting presidential powers to seize the election equipment and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.”

Yep, nothing to see here, perfectly normal to discuss declaring a national emergency and seizing voting machines.“It is unclear who wrote the draft order, which is full of legal language asserting presidential powers to seize the election equipment and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.”
“Addressing the Politico reporting, Rep. Elaine Luria, a Democrat from Virginia and a member of the House committee, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that "it's incredibly concerning if this is in fact a verifiable document."
“One source who was interviewed by the January 6 committee told CNN they were asked about the existence of a draft memo that outlined plans to seize voting machines. But the source couldn't confirm that that the questions were specifically about the draft published by Politico.”
I feel like we’ve seen this kind of reporting before.
Of course, the most important thing is: “Trump never signed the executive order.”
Politico: Draft Trump executive order in December 2020 would've directed Pentagon to seize voting machines and hunt for fraud
A draft executive order that then-President Donald Trump considered signing in December 2020 would've directed the Pentagon to seize voting machines in key states and hunt for evidence of fraud, according to a draft published by Politico.
Some cult member proving my point by trying to yawn away this latest insane bombshell?
This is a smear job on a document that might not even be real and, even if it is, says nothing about what Trump said about it. He could’ve thrown the author out of the room and banned them from ever coming back for all we know. The only confirmed fact in that entire piece is that no such EO was signed.
He knew damn well there wasnt voter fraud and he knows he lost.
There really is no point to having a discussion with you when you gaslight anyone who tells you how things actually work. So, adios and vaya con dios.
The talking heads will say its because of Trump running the party, but in reality it's because the committee is doing some pretty shady shit.
If that's all it was it would be one thing, but illegally obtaining phone records is quite another.
No, it's because the party is loyal to Trump, because they are scared if they turn against him they will lose their seats. Its Trumps party now, and it is pretty obvious.
She didn't want to comit perjury. She without saying yes, we did, confirmed it.
