    1) Dear Leader is innocent. He said so. believe and follow him blindly

    2) if he did do it, it’s all legal. You just don’t understand.

    3) if it’s illegal, all evidence was planted, entire fed law enforcement is in a big conspiracy to get trump. They all hate America. Believe and follow trump, he never lies.

    4) if he did it, it’s illegal, and there is evidence; let trump do what he wants. Because maga will kill people if trump is held accountable.
    just keep sending money to Dear Leader.

    Mobster mentality: " Nice country you have there, it would be a shame if something happened to it. Pay up" (i.e. let the orange god do whatever the hell he wants no matter how illegal it may be).

    Break-up is a viable option.

    Problem: Biden says he has F-16s.

    That unarmed woman was essentially a victim of a charismatic persuasive cult leader. She was persuaded by the leader of the cult that the election was stolen from him and had the misfortune of being in the point of a gang of his followers that almost certainly would have attacked and murdered members of Congress if given the opportunity. The plainclothes Capitol police officer who shot her prevented a potential massacre. Your feeble attempt to draw an analogy between Bernie Sanders and James Hodgkinson with Trump and his followers completely falls apart. Unlike Trump Bernie Sanders never urged his followers to violently attack the political opposition. Just a reminder.
    Trump to far-right extremists: 'Stand back and stand by'
    Proud Boys were 'thirsting for violence' on Jan. 6, DOJ says in closing arguments
    I guess you can argue that Trump didn't expressly urge his followers to use violence on January 6th although it was rather obvious that from his speeches that he intended that they do so.

    Americans still deeply scarred by unarmed selfie-taking eccentrics who left the Capitol when police arrived and told them to go home.

    Darkest day in American history.

    I tell you what. Read the dozen or so articles I linked in this thread then come back and discuss. Some of you here are hyper focused on something else ( I know not what) and ignoring the issue raised in the OP. 150 race riots is not good, but that is nothing compared to the mood today. Social media (including videos) spread discontent at a near instantaneous speed (not blaiming, I support 100% transparency). We live in a different time now. If you don't want to acknowledge that, so be it. I don't really care.

    Nonsense. Trump didn't pursuade anyone to do anything. And he certainly did not call for violence. He asked people to be peaceful. You are not entitled to your own facts to support your hate. But that is not the topic of this thread, is it?

    The former POTUS will be held accountable- in some fashion as he should be. Extremes on both sides will not like the results.

    Some socially estranged radical idiots with guns will do or attempt to do what the socially estranged radical idiots with guns do. LE will deal with them as they always do.

    We will NOT have a civil war.

    Sure. That's why he watched the violence unfold on TV doing nothing to help and put out a hit on Pence via Tweet in the midst of it.

    Well...there you have it. It has been decided. Nothing to see here. Everyone step away from the computer.

    When the dust settles we can revisit to see which one of us was more correct

    She forgot about all the Bolshevik Loving Marxists and the American National Totalitarian Indoctrination Federal Agency's supported RIOTS in dozens for cities across the U.S.A..

    We do live in a different time now, a time where people mostly make stupid and edgy arguments online rather than fighting in the streets

    Even Christopher Wray said to one of our congressional committees that ANTIFA was an idea... no one seemed to understand what he was saying becasue there were no follow-up questions.
