The parents were MAGA nuts. The father went to Jan 6 with a gun. The son turned him in. The family is shattered. The damage Trump has done to our country is immeasurable. The family had yet to fully resolve the perceived public betrayals and failed attempts at reconciliation in the more than two years since the attack on the U.S. Capitol, and Peyton, 18 years old at this latest gathering, wasn’t sure whether she was ready to confront her brother, Jackson, for everything that had happened since he secretly turned their father in to the FBI. “Actions are actions. Dad went to the Capitol with a gun,” said Jackson, then 20 years old. “He walked up the Capitol steps with a gun on his hip.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...elationships?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f003
He’s the single worst thing to ever happen to the United States, IMO. I will literally celebrate the day he dies - catering, band, full open bar etc.
Glad that kid turned his dad in. Every one of those bastards should pay a price for what they did. Too bad so many of those anti-maskers finally found a reason to wear one ... they really should have rounded them all up as they left the building instead of letting them all leave.
If I recall correctly, the only one shot and killed on Jan 6 was a vet! Not so much as a slap on the wrist for the shooter! Hell of an insurrection when there are no weapons! All planned by the deep state!!
A “vet” breaking and entering an office area and trying to lead a deranged mob through a broken window. I guess you conveniently forgot that part.
Disagree. Trump is a disposable man no doubt. But we are discussing a grown man making his own decisions. All blame, all fault, lies solely on his shoulders.
So Manson was blameless for what his little group did? Your take completely ignores the applicable laws in this area.
I don’t know if I would classify slavery as something that “happened to” the United States. It was an institution here before we were even a country. It existed for 300+ years. But no, Trump is not worse than slavery.
No, there is blame to go around. Trump is to blame for taking advantage of weak-minded people like the father in this story. And the father is to blame for letting himself be taken advantage of and ruining his family.
Yeah those two are comparable. Each man is responsible for his own decisions. The buck stops here. Don’t blame your wife. Don’t blame daddy for not hugging you enough. Don’t blame the rap Music.. each individual makes his or her own choices and lives with the consequences.
Yes I agree Trump Took advantage. But that wasn’t the illegal action. The illegal action was on the dad. Is it sad? Absolutely. Is trump Scum? No doubts.
Totally ignorant of the applicable law. If I do some act to aid, abet, assist, help or encourage you to commit a crime, I am guilty of your crime.
He will no doubt serve the longest sentence of all the protesters that invaded the capital.. puppet master that he is. This poor man had no option. No one at out. It’s not his fault he marched up those steps.. trump MADE him do it.
The dad (nor any other 1/6 rioter) cannot blame Trump to absolve his own responsibility for 1/6, but that doesn’t mean Trump isn’t largely responsible as well for the overall events that day. There may have been many parties inciting and gaslighting their zombie followers that day, but nobody more singularly responsible than Trump.
Also Strong flex my Man. Pat yourself on the back and let out your mighty roar. Meanwhile I’ll still take responsibility for my own actions and not try to blame peripheral persons or circumstances.
