January 6

Look at Kamala bailing out Republicans from the BLM riots. She really could have been a President for all people. Please note my sarcasm.

“Far more telling is her support for bailing out the 2020 George Floyd rioters, endorsing a bail fund that put violent repeat offenders back on the streets of Minneapolis.

Chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” she tweeted as the city burned (and as Gov. Tim Walz dithered on the mayor’s request to send in the National Guard).”

That endorsement helped the Minnesota Freedom Fund raise $40 million, cash it soon used to release accused murderers, rapists, and thieves.”

Your illogical argument that the majority of BLM rioters political affiliation is unknown 100% applies to the potentially unknown political affiliation of J6ers.

So it has everything to do with J6.

I fear you’ve taken one too many mandatory DEI classes at the office.

Gee, that's odd...

I kinda remember one of our two major political parties elevated and showcased Black Lives Matter at their 2020 national convention.

And guess what? It wasn't the Republican Party!


From the Washington Post dated August 18, 2020:

Democratic Convention Embraces Black Lives Matter

"The Democratic Party fully embraced the imagery and themes of the Black Lives Matter movement on its convention's first night Monday, highlighting family members of Black men who have been killed by police and showing footage of marches through American cities..."

Same as the Jan 6th rioters. Assumption is Trump supporters, but that doesn't mean Republican. Or that they weren't plants. Or Antifa. Salty's been talking up Ray Epps for years.

What data, links or sources do you have for the political affiliations in both instances?

Are you sure there weren't some very fine people in that crowd?

Acknowledge your biases and lack of full info. It's the smarter play than making blanket statements. Originally Posted by HDGristle
Good advice, Gristle. Please tell that to tommy. He's the one who made the blanket statement "those weren't democrats".


Do you know how many rioters were registered to vote? Or do you just assume they're not Dems? Originally Posted by HDGristle
Fixed that for you. Now please direct your questions at tommy.

Nothing required fixing. But if you wanna ask him, man up and ask him directly instead of sending in the big guns to tackle that issue.

Tommy has been asked by me on his BLM riot political affiliation statement perhaps in this thread or another. I’m not checking which thread.

And Lustys “fixing” was appropriate. No matter how much you want, you can’t have it both ways.

We both know tommy is more likely to acknowledge his obvious biases and refrain from making silly blanket statements in future if he hears it from you instead of me.

Why can't you hold all posters in this thread to the same standard?

I don't know that, nor do you.

I'm not here to do what you want. I'm here to be entertained. Like I am when I watch another Jan 6th rioter get sentenced. Or a BLM activist who commits arson get sentenced.

So, actually... I kinda do get to have it both ways

Ill advised?

Cross examination is a bad thing?

Or, are you not to be questioned?
