This is a lively read, to say the least. Here's a taste: So while I regard Trump as a lowlife demagogue with a narcissism disorder who cheats on everything from his wives to business to golf to elections that he lost, and while I think his reckless disregard for the truth and his addiction to pushing lies cynically appeals to the rage, fear, and cheap emotions of his cult followers, and while I think he is guilty of many things, including but not limited to: sexual assault, a coup attempt, and involuntary manslaughter (five people died on January 6 — a party he was responsible for throwing)…………(deep intermission breath)…….. on the other hand, I’m not sure the crime(s) he was just convicted of, while technically a violation of the law, didn’t involve some creative indicting on the prosecution’s side, and might not have been prosecuted at all if his name weren’t “Donald Trump.” https://mattlabash.substack.com/p/the-felon There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

Pretty good stretch to say 5 people died that day. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/0...-capitol-deaths.html | |||

The count is arguable. But if the insurrection riot had not happened who would be alive? It is a stain on our nation's honor, and so is Trump. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Not a stretch, just a lie. Only one person died on Jan 6th. Ashli Babbitt. Mac | |||

I think it is a pity more of the insurrectionists did not die on January 6. There should be a price to pay for trying to subvert the results of an election by attempting to seize control of the Capitol and kill elected officials, storming the halls of Congress and destroying the people's house.

Agreed, the capitol should have been better protected. Mac | |||

https://youtu.be/2KzVSDphNv0?si=5Z7uMFzFDjcAKKB1 Reality, as Trump supporters see it Former President Donald Trump's critics have been vocal about what a potential Trump election victory in November might mean for the country. In a visit to a campaign rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, "Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel talks with Trump supporters to find out what they believe would be the consequences of another Trump election loss. He also visits the battlefield at Gettysburg, where a "war on memory" continues to be waged. ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron.

A troupe of boy scouts could have defended the Capitol but nobody did. The Capitol police pretty pitiful The Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, Russians and anyone else must absolutely know they can take it with a couple of sticks | |||

While I don't know the ins and outs in detail, I have a more sympathetic view of the law enforcement actions that day. By and large they managed to let the activities run thier course and avoid any major human casualties, while also ensuring the day didnt become a standpoint and turn into a more violent event. Mo9st likely things could have been done better. But the end result, given such tension, was rather mild. | |||

Blame someone, anyone, but the man who called them to action. The man who had an affirmative duty to disperse them. | |||

Well Heym I guess if a cop sees 10 armed men enter a bank they will call the mayor to ask for help instead of just calling for backup from station. I still do not understand, if the government was about to be overthrown the capitol police on the scene did not call for all to come to rescue | |||

Yeah, everybody knows that if you need help you call for it 13 times, the first 12 might be a joke. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

WTF McKay and MLindsy!! Why should anyone have to defend the Capitol from a bunch of rioters? If riots are the answer to perceived wrongs, then BLM and Antifa got it right. IDIOTS!! Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

The President does not have an affirmative duty and direct power to defend a bank. | |||

That’s the sad reality. The same man who called out the National Guard in June 2020 so that he could have a photo op in front of St. John’s Church. He did nothing to break up the rioting on January 6 because he did not want to break up the rioting. Mike | |||
