    What happens before bail?

    Good goal post move. Your initial "question:"

    Were any arrested?

    Not whether some were not arrested.

    It shouldn't be, but attempts to gaslight are generally intended to be confusing.

    Now that we have dealt with your deflection, what do you think of using government funds to pay people for hitting cops, and smashing through windows and doors in the Capitol in order to stop the transfer of power due to an election?

    That might make sense had I suggested that every, single BLM rioter/looter was arrested.

    No, you suggested none of them were...after asking about their bail.

    Okay, here is your bringing up bail:

    Then your suggestion that none of them were arrested:

    BLM riots are a false equivalence to begin with. Jan 6th was protesting the valid result of a political election. BLM was protesting the killing of unarmed civilians by the police. Just because one political party has no issue with that doesn't make it political in nature.

    Let's just imagine the two things are equal. To me one of the problems with politics is that we don't say (enough), "hey, that's not right with my party, we shouldn't do that." Way too much of, *yeah, but look over there at what they did.* This isn't a race to the bottom (or shouldn't be).

    What conservative value is being represented by what Trump is talking about here? Even if it were true that they were really liked by people in the government...is that an actual justification to compensate them? Is it not enough that they are no longer being expected to pay for the damage that they did cause?

    Go GATORS!

    I think we agree on two things:

    Both political sides support their bad actors.

    Trump is not supporting accountability by pardoning or compensating people who actually broke the law.

    Maybe someone else can explain it to you. I'm not sure where you're getting confused.

    I am not at all confused. You asked about people's bail and then suggested that no people had been arrested. A basic logical fail. Now, you are trying to cover up for it. But it isn't working.

    Our problem apparently is that we are using words as real things. LOL

    Compensation isn't nearly enough for the brave, misunderstood Jan 6 patriots. They are surely deserving of no less than a ticker tape parade in New York City.

    That's because MAGA argues with a cartoon in their head. Any person who isn't in complete lockstep with everything they say (not matter how hypocritical), is that LibErAl cartoon in their eyes. Again, simple concepts for simple minds. It's the best they can muster with those 4 collective brain cells.

    Brilliant! (And this idea is actually possible.)

    Maybe Trump will award Enrique Tarrio the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony similar to the presentation of the same award to Rush Limbaugh.
