Curious how the Left like to talk non-stop about January 6th while always remaining hush-hush about the March 1, 1971 Capitol bombing committed by other Leftist extremists.

How many under a dozen do we have on this entire site who were even alive when Hillary's husband [[SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, LOOK AWAY NOW!]] was President?

Cleaning out old screenshots earlier today, I saw one from someone who was yapping at me that - I kid you not - Reagan was one of the 15 Founding - I swear - Fathers, and - no lie - of the Republican Party as well and how dare I disrespect him.

I've had multiple run ins in recent days with those who think Reagan funded & armed the Taliban.

btw, this so-called LeftRightLeftRight divide paradigm is a bit off, because thinking one is worse because they're on ye olde 'other side' is kind of missing the point, as terrorism, riots, or any other acts entailing destruction, injury, and death are all not exceedingly optimal for the general public and those hurt in the process.

Good question. We're a nuclear super power. Clearly, we could keep this unarmed clown out if we wanted.

It is important to note that holding that lectern doesn't actually make you leader of the country... no one will listen to him. It would be an over-escalation to attack him with a tank because it wasn't actually an insurrection. Just arrest him, keep him in jail for months and throw the book at him. Which is exactly what happened. Justice is being served.

The intended contrast is the Taliban is taking over the country, they will not be jailed and they now run their justice system. Totally different situation then our capital riot which wasn't an insurrection.

I agree the hundreds that have spent months in jail with no trial for their involvement in the capital riot appear to have their right to a speedy trial violated. That would only show that we're treating the rioters More harshly then legally allowed. The message from the left is that we're down-playing or ignoring their crimes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those that participated in the riot have had their lives destroyed. This is why the vast majority of Republicans don't riot. It's a very bad look. I only wish we were as harsh with the terrorist on the left who spent 100s of consecutive days burning federal buildings, taking over areas of cities and declaring the a area a new country and beating shop-keepers, police and pedestrians to death.

I totally condemn the capital riot and fully support prosecuting all crimes. I'm comparing an actual insurrection to something that has been labeled an insurrection by the media, but wasn't. I'm not "downplaying" anything, I'm making a relative comparison. Are you suggesting we should upplay the capital riot to the same level as the Taliban taking over Afghanistan? That does seem like what the left wants, and I'm pushing back and calling that ridiculous.

Insurrection is a chargeable crime. No one has been charged with insurrection.

I'm not "downplaying," I'm trying to define it as what it was... a violent illegal riot like the 100s of others we had seen all summer. I totally condemn it.

If the media branded it as "world war III" and I said it wasn't, would that be "downplaying?" It's not me "downplaying," rather it's the media/left "up-playing" this to a definition that is a lie. I'm trying to be a realist and not engage in these wild "insurrection" conspiracy theories that pollute the left.

I suspect you also like to think the anti-GOP mass assassination attempt by a Bernie supporter, in which Steve Scalise was shot, was just a little case of misunderstanding.

Could be I'm wrong, but I think you don't give a whit about life-threatening situations, but the single goal of convincing people the darkest incident in American history is an event that only left one individual dead- and that one individual being part of the insurrectionist cabal you also want us to believe in. If the intent of these rioters was murder (as you argue), Biden's FBI would have already charged them with such intent. Planning murder is in itself a felony. You know it, we all know it.

Thugs trying to kill cops...is thugs trying to kill cops. Racial justice is just a convenient term used by leftist thugs to go out try to kill people and feel good about it. Leftists can do anything they want so long as they label it "racial justice" as if they can justify killing someone or blowing up government buildings simply by dehumanizing their victims. You're murderers that love quoting mass genocidal maniacs...while demonizing, and dehumanizing anyone who disagrees with your treachery, marginalizing your distractors so that killing them makes you feel good about yourself, believing you've done the world a favor. Ya still haven't shown one case of someone being charged for an organized insurrection despite several people asking. You only believe the authorities when they confirm your bias. Worst case of cherry-picking on the internet. The only good thing about you "useful idiots" is that when all is said and done, and the government that you put in power destroys those who oppose it, they'll line you up and shoot you last. Historical fact.

First off, I didn’t ever hear Joe Biden’s quote but he’s 100% right. As for Kamala, the only “debunking” for her quote was that she didn’t specify whether she was referring to the radicals or regular protestors. Her actions show what she meant when she started a fund to bail out violent protestors. Also, the left has given her the benefit of the doubt that she wasn’t supporting the radicals in her words meanwhile in one of Trump’s speeches he specified he meant good people OTHER THAN white supremacists but that didn’t stop media from blowing it up out of context. Guess what else was out of context? His speech on Jan 6 where they play a clip of him saying “fight like hell” and stop the video after that. If you let it keep playing he finishes the sentence saying that he’s talking about legitimate legal processes, not actual physical fighting.

Also multiple lists are reusing the same quotes so the fact that you can count on your hands the number of times Democrats denounced it should tell you something. But even then, several quotes aren’t exactly denouncing it but blaming infiltrators. If you believe that then every time a right winger spouts BS about ANTIFA causing Jan 6 I guess that’s them denouncing it too right?

Leftist terrorist took over several blocks in down-town for months including taking over a police station and dumping thousands of confidential police records into the street. It's not exaggerated... it's just ignored or called "mostly peaceful." Do you consider CHAZ an insurrection?

local government in rural Australia fatally shot dogs that were set to go to an animal shelter in another town over concerns that the shelter’s employees could spread the coronavirus by traveling to pick up the animals.

The Bourke Shire Council, a local government in the remote northwestern part of the state of New South Wales, killed the dogs “to protect its employees and community, including vulnerable Aboriginal populations,” from the coronavirus, according to a statement from the New South Wales Office of Local Government, which oversees the council and other local governments.
