So congressional lives matter more than mine?Yes, according to the courts.
Would they still matter more than mine if I was black??
And some might consider shooting a dim congressman... A far better calling.... than just a random idiot Originally Posted by Paulie Rockstar

It's not a clever gotcha question, it's a simple question. Your answer is still not an answer. So Trump didn't explicitly call for violence, but what? How did he urge the violence? You got nothing.

If you knew how bad the Floyd riots were, it was because we told you, or you tuned into conservative media. The MSM covered it like it was mostly peaceful.That's because they were. In aggregate, across the country, they were mostly peaceful. You all make it sound like the entire nation was a war zone for 3 months. Because all you heard about on Fox News and from the youtube people you follow were the 3 or 4 cities where problems existed. And even in those cities, the problems were limited to pretty small areas. A friend of mine has a son who lives in Portland. He asked his son if he had reason to be fearful, and his son told him that no, what was happening there was confined to a small area and was nowhere near where he spent his time. But you listen to Tucker Carlson and you'd think the whole country was burning to the ground. It wasn't and it didn't.
Reading through the pseudo sophistry and fake logic, expounded by some of our poorly educated trump twinks in this thread only reinforces what Ron White brilliantly proclaimed about them in the last 30 seconds of the below clip, there's not a pill or class you can take to fix it!!!

Another shot at Project Veritas. Yeah, nothing more phony than a video camera in someone's face recording while they're incriminating themselves. It must be all fake. You bring up O'Keefe so many times, It's obvious he's struck a nerve with you. Bravo James. 👍🏻 Originally Posted by Willie WankerOh how cute.

He didn't whip anyone into a frenzy. 😂That's a good one.
The former involves a reaction to something that fits in reality. The latter involves a reaction to lies and what happens only in Donald Trump's and your imaginations.

But sure, pretend none of that means anything.

There were dozens of law breakers who truly believed Trump was going to save them and they were doing his work.
Saying he believes the election is rigged is by no stretch of the imagination whipping someone into a frenzyf, it's also not treason or even a crime. Anyone who commited violence at the capitol is solely responsible for their own actions.
Thanks for answering, I guess.
Oh, and I'm not pretending, it really does mean nothing. Originally Posted by Willie Wanker

The viking guys perception and state of mind doesn't make Trump any more or less responsible. It's completely irrelevant.
Don the Con said, I'm marching there with you, we can all go together.... we all know he ran away and hid. He had no intentions of ever doing what he said, much like the other 32,000 lies he told in 4 years.
What i highlighted in red is exactly how I feel about terrorists groups like BLM, and any other rioter, or scumbag Caucasians, I don't blindly stick up for anyone based on anything, They did it, arrest them and move on.
To compare the two is truly apples and oranges, Pelosi didn't go on tv and tell people to storm federal courts, neither did AOC or the muslim women in office. Originally Posted by bf0082

Wow, seriously? He didn't whip anyone into a frenzy. 😂That's a good one.One more time, the insurrection does not happen if not for Donald Trump. If Trump acted like every single one of the hundreds of losing candidates before him, the insurrection doesn't happen. Period. They didn't take it upon themselves to storm The Capitol and the idea that they did is just delusional beyond levels that are comical. They did it because Donald Trump gave them reason to. And it was entirely foreseeable given the rhetoric that those pro-Trump groups were spouting prior to Jan 6. All Trump needed to do to stop it was to tell the truth. That he lost the election fair and square. He refused. And not only did he refuse, but 2 hours into the insurrection he's praising the insurrectionists. You don't praise traitors and tell them you love them unless they're doing exactly what you want them to do.

Your inability to grasp the obvious is making it awfully difficult for me to not get myself pointed. Originally Posted by Doove
