Yep. And add to that the fact that he did absolutely nothing to put a stop to it also says a lot about him.

From the time he lost the election on November 3, he repeated the claim that the election had been rigged and the Presidency had been stolen. This became a theme in his social media. He also called on his followers to "fight," to "stop the steal," on many occasions, over the months. For example:

"Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal! #MAGA." "WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT!!!" December 12

We won the Presidential Election, by a lot. FIGHT FOR IT. Don’t let them take it away!" December 18.

"Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" December 19

"If the liberal Democrats take the Senate and the White House — and they’re not taking this White House — we’re going to fight like hell, I’ll tell you right now." January 4

He had a long history of encouraging violence at MAGA rallies dating back to his campaign of 2016. He told cops to rough up protesters. He said he wanted to beat one of them and told his followers to attack another. He offered to pay the legal expenses of anyone who attacked protesters at his rallies.

To demonstrate the extent of his approval of violence against his "enemies," he pardoned a former Navy Seal who had been charged by members of his own squad of murdering an unarmed and restrained prisoner. This violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Code of Conduct of Seals. Many fellow seals testified against him and he was convicted by a Court Martial.

He made many dozens of other incendiary comments to his followers, leading up to the January 6, 2021, Treasonous Insurgency. That is why most of the people who were arrested for that act, who have commented, said they were told by him to do what they did. I take them at their word.

Rioters were already in the building while Trump was still giving his speech where he urged a peaceful march and non violence

That works as a weak ass excuse, and only if you ignore all the stuff he said for months. Go back to the echo chamber, if you want people to ignore all the facts and focus on cherry-picked B.S. It is just like saying, "I REALLY didn't know the gun was loaded." Take the example of the Real Estate Executive from Texas who flew his private jet to D.C. and went straight to the Capitol Building to support Trump. Did it just occur to him out of thin air that he should do that? He and one of his passengers are facing federal charges that will lose them their livelihoods and freedom. A second passenger is being sought by the feds. These are not "hotheads," who got caught up in the heat of the moment because of a speech. They were encouraged by Trump to come to D.C. for a "Wild," demonstration. He knew what he was saying, and so did they.

Yeah, only AFTER he was pressured into doing so after violence broke out, derp.

Nope. Wrong.

No.

But at least you got your "derp" correct.

Well, you just qualified as a liar. I have never blocked or removed a comment. I have alerted the IMGFLIP folks of inappropriate language that was offensive to women. But, other than that, I let anyone say what they will. Mostly, I just ignore people like you. I figure you are posting to reach fellow members of your cult and don't really care what I say, anyway.

His reply was to MiniApplels.
Should not have been on this meme, but he can't figure out why he keeps getting in trouble.

If I could block you, I might. But, if I did, how are you now commenting on my meme? If, as Vagabond says, this is a spat between you and Miniapples, could you please take it elsewhere? I am now going to do the thing I can do. I am going to ignore you. Good day, sir.

There is a block option, but it just designates comments from that user as "hidden," like a low rated comment, of which you also stilll have the option to tap to view.
Plus you won't get notifications from them.

Vagabond--I don't like the idea of censorship. It is sometimes necessary. But, not in this case. I believe that everyone can serve a useful purpose, in life. Sometimes an underinformed bigot is just the right bad example to reinforce my beliefs.

I gave you an up vote, because you SAY that you don't like the idea of censorship. IF that is truly the case, allow comments and ALL your memes. The one in question is clearly labeled "COMMENTS DISABLED".
0 ups, 5y
If the comments have been disabled on one of my memes it was done by someone else. I don't know how to do that, nor do I want to know. "Let a hundred flowers bloom. Let a hundred thoughts contend." Mao said that before launching a crackdown on dissenters. It did not help growth, which they needed. History gives us valuable lessons. Some of us read them and heed them.

It isn't censorship per se, as they are still able to post on your memes and reply to your comments. It only allows you to not see it.
But I do agree the more of a variety of opinions that can be seen, the better.

There are those who want blocking to got further, to eliminate the ability of the blocked to reply to the blocker, as they can still offend, harrass, whatever.
But I'd say that's taking it way too far. If they can't take other viewpoints, then perhaps they shouldn't be posting on a platform fitted for it.

Your reply up there was to Mini.

Perhaps you should look up the meaning of "obtuse" before misusing it further.

Why don't you let Larry fight his own battles. I believe he is equal to the task.

I have never blocked you or anyone else. Your battle is with someone else. Have you checked with the site operators?

I made a mistake. Should have originally made my comment on a diffferent thread. Clearly, I was wrong. It WAS MiniappIeIs meme that was Comments Blocked. Nothing else to say except I am sorry.

Cue the hyena cackling from Vag and Mini in 5, 4, 3, 2, ...
clearly, I deserve it.

No one would think badly of you if you wanted to erase any embarrassing posts on my page. I leave that to your discretion.

I did delete the posts on this subject, not because I was embarrassed, but because I was wrong.
Just because I was wrong about this meme, it doesn't render all my posts as wrong. We have a philosophical difference of opinion. It used to be that people could have opposing opinions without such rancor.

Fella, you wanted to post your irritable bowel syndrome symptoms on random comments of mine that had nothing to do with you, and I'm cool with that.

And now you shall be too.

Kinda.

I'm afraid there's nothing that can help in your case, with your head jamming up the works,,,

Um, "merry," you seriously need to calm yourself down. Or do you truly enjoy always being so delightfully triggered and butthurt? Because it is a joy to watch, and you make it too easy to inspire.
