If the January 6 Riots Are "Terrorism" Because They Used Violence to Force A Political Outcome, Why Aren't the Year of BLM/Antifa Riots Also Terrorism?
A question righteously asked by Doc_0.
John Hayward
@Doc_0
If the 1/6 riots were an act of "terrorism" - using force to achieve political ends - then so were the BLM riots. The difference is that the latter were successful - and their success was a bloody disaster for Americans, especially black Americans. The grotesque spectacle Democrats and their media are putting on today is not a condemnation of "terrorism," or "insurrection," or "attacking elections." They aren't planning to say a single damn word about the very recent times THEY did all of those things. This is all about crass political opportunism, and reinforcing the claim that left-wingers have a monopoly on "righteous" political violence. When lefties use violence on YOU, it's "mostly peaceful" and you should stop whining and walk it off - even when they kill people. I've never had any patience for rioters or political terrorists of any stripe, from Occupy Wall Street through BLM, Antifa, or the 1/6 crowd. NOBODY should think they can achieve political goals through violence and destruction - but that's not the America we live in, is it? That sure as hell isn't the message sent by an obsessive hyper-politicized focus on one act of political violence that personally discomfited the ruling elite, while other terrorism is minimized, excused, indulged, and rewarded. People outside the Ruling Class bubble are sick of this crap. Did any of the geniuses who planned the big Insurrectionmas holiday bash stop to think, "I wonder what someone who lost their home and business - or a family member - to BLM riots will think when they watch this?" No, of course not - because those people don't matter AT ALL to the elite and ruling Party, except maybe as votes to be "harvested" after they finish dismantling our election system. The message today is that only THIS ONE violent outburst matters. Only this one is contemptible. And only this one is supposed to reflect negatively on people who weren't at the Capitol on 1/6. Only this one was "caused" by political rhetoric. Only this one "justifies" speech controls and punitive political action against people who committed no crime. The people running today's media and political circus events are much more aggressively, and effectively, using an act of violence to achieve political ends than the boobs who perpetrated that violence a year ago. The rioters didn't have a rational endgame. The opportunists do. By all means, throw the book at EVERYONE who thinks they can impose their ideology by breaking the law - but we need to worry a lot more about the people writing the laws, and what they really think about political violence. They most certainly do not reject it entirely. /end
Tell me more about the PTSD you feel from Jan 6 when there are people out there who literally had their entire neighborhoods burned down in the summer of 2020 in riots shrugged off as “mostly peaceful.”

Of course - the 2020 election was conducted under an implicit (and sometimes explicit - looking at you, Kameltoe Harris) threat that if the leftists didn't get what they wanted, the rioting would resume in response to a Trump re-election. This is one of several reasons why the Biden Presidency is not legitimate by U.S. standards (the ones we judge other countries' elections by, I mean).

That's not the only difference. In fact, that difference is likely meaningless.
The real difference is that one group is aligned with, enabled by and under the protection of the Complex, and the other group is an enemy of the Complex.
That is all. If you're on the team, there is no law. If you're not on the team, everything is illegal. That's all. It's very simple.
The argument laid out is perfectly fine and correct, but it is irrelevant given how the system works. Facts don't matter. Rightness doesn't matter. Law doesn't matter. You're on the team or you're a non-person.

Overreach is not in the Democrat's vocabulary. Neither is it in the media's. But they succeeded in doing it with aces today. I keep using the word provocation and I really think that's the game plan right now. If the leftists can illicit a specific response from Trump or one of his surrogates expect the gloves to come off.
Maybe not mass arrests, but they'll go hard after anyone they feel is a threat to their plans. They want control of the election process and they're willing to start a civil war to get it.

I realized the hypocrisy of the left long ago when I confronted a union rep about how they only difference between them and those they oppose is that they want the other folks job. They want to be in charge not change anything.
He hated me from that day forth for exposing him.
And ever since i've applied that perspective and realized that the left does not play by any rules that have been created to be fair. They don't want to win fairly. They want to win at any cost to anyone else and they will do whatever needs to be done for that to happen.
They do not care if they have to lie, cheat, steal, murder. They will destroy anyone and anything in their path and not think a thing about it.
That the Republicans never seemed to see that or if they did they did not react to it has always stumped me as to why did they ignore what the left was doing?
I still don't have an answer. I'm sure it has something to do with them actually being on the same side or they think they're on the same side but they're not and those on the right don't find that out until too late.

It's not a democracy, it's a Constitutional Republic.
Posted by: Seems Legit at January 06, 2022 01:24 PM
Correct, but the Dems don't like the Constitutional Republic part. The Democracy part where they can pad their numbers through fraud? They like that part.
I just did the math on a story I read this morning. Someone claims they got paid $10.00 a ballot to stuff ballots in Georgia and made $45,000. The claim is that perhaps one million ballots got stuffed that way.
Pause for a second and do the math - that's *only* 10 million dollars. Now look at how many millions Facebook gave away.

It was the "assault on democracy" line that sticks in my craw. It was all over the media. Like trying to get Electoral College members to vote unfaithfully? Hillary did that. Or maybe like falsifying evidence to get a warrant to spy on political opponents like the FBI did? What about sending home election observers and continuing to count votes, votes that ultimately decide an election. Have we accosted our Democratic Principles enough yet?

Pointless to ask these questions. You can't shame Democrats on the issue; they've openly supported terrorists for decades (the Weather Underground, Black Panthers, Palestinians, on and on an on). And you cannot communicate this fact to anyone who doesn't already know it, because they are low-information types who simply don't care.

For those who wonder why Trump has not been more clear about his support for the Jan6th people.
One question, do you really know what happened on Jan 6? I saw some photos of peaceful people wandering around the building. Grandmas, and the guy with the body paint, and head dress. But we also hear about people that broke down barriers. Breaking through windows. We hear about people threatening cops.
If I were Trump, I would be worried about blanket statements. If he says, I support those people. Then they show that one guy, maybe a fed, who is breaking down a barrier or threatening a cop? It was a complicated situation, that many of us here feel was an op. And as one of JJs articles mentioned, it may not be over. It may be that it is somewhat designed to create bigger problems for Trump, and anyone who says anything positive about Jan 6th.

So Doc_0 is calling "the 1/6 crowd" "rioters or political terrorists"? How is that any different than what Ted Cruz said. There was no riot on 1/6/20 and there was no terrorist attack.

The 1/6 protest wasn't a riot. Why must conservatives always adopt the frame of the liberals?
Posted by: jimm
To be fair, yes, there was a riot *at* the 1/6 protest. But also to be truthful, that riot was planned and perpetrated by the FBI, DOJ, and the Left. But it was a riot, albeit extremely localized within the much larger protest and rally.

I'd rather they all showed their clay feet as soon as possible so we can get that out of the way and concentrate on those that might be worth the effort instead of finding out we'd wasted a lot of time on someone who wasn't really who we thought they were.
I'm all in favor of people showing their true colors. I'd prefer that some of my bubbles not get popped but better now than later and late.

So Doc_0 is calling "the 1/6 crowd" "rioters or political terrorists"? How is that any different than what Ted Cruz said. There was no riot on 1/6/20 and there was no terrorist attack.

100 >>Horde - if Rand gives a speech today for the Dem's operation, don't tell me
Given Rand's multiple experiences with political violence from the Left, including the Alexandria shooting, his neighbor, and in the DC streets following Trump's acceptance speech, I would be surprised (and terribly disappointed) if he equated 1/6 to political terrorism.
Posted by: Lizzy at January 06, 2022 01:36 PM (URNdm)
That's why he's got my vote sewn up if we don't have the other two...when he got attacked, he kept his positions, so I doubt he's buyable or looking to stab us on purpose...I may disagree on some issues with him, but at least I know where he stands...and that's gonna be my leading requirement for 2024 - when push comes to shove (like it does if a Repub wins), will you stand fast?

Back in the day people were all in favor of what Cheney was doing. What he stood for. How the left hated him.
Cheney's implementation of his ideas failed. Rather then fighting a short, brutal war that beat the violence out of our enemies or at least made them fear us, he choose a long war that did...nothing. Sure, the Dems didn't want that short war...but so what? Leaders have to lead - and he and Bush 43 failed to.

107 95 It's not an equation, it's a comparison. "The closest thing we have for comparison is the riots from the previous summer and your reaction to them - and that comparison is awfully damn distant both in terms of what happened and how you responded to it."

"Occupy" is the operative word for every political action the liberals make, sometimes figuratively but very often literally. Occupy as a term is associated at least in my mind with the left. It's a thing they do.
They willfully misunderstand the 1/6 protestors as having "occupied" (and not even for very long, as occupations go) the captiol simply because it suits their narrative to call it terrorism, and because they are actually terrified at what will happen if the right does start to occupy places.
I would add that the two times I have seen the right occupy - Madison over the teachers union issue and Austin over an abortion bill--the right won the battle. I'm sure the left knows and hates that.

"...when there are people out there who literally had their entire neighborhoods burned down in the summer of 2020..."
So?
Don't seem to remember anything from the summer of 2020 having to do with ransacking the Church of Democracy, our Capitol.
When was that?

The United States forfeited all right to condemn others for human rights abuses when it engaged in state-sanctioned terrorism against its own citizens from May through December 2020. Yet the same fools who defended the violence now condemn a half-ssed riot. It is beyond ludicrous but typical of the dying empire.

I know it happens and not being snide or anything about it. We all do it. It just seems that everywhere we look we are surrounded by those who will take away our freedoms, our rights, our lives while claiming they're doing it for the best. Best for whom? It just makes me want to give up I feel so overwhelmed and beaten at every corner. So to see those we once praised being now attacked makes it more apparent we cannot rely on anyone it seems.

Not much point in the "But BLM riots!" argument. BLM riots are readily distinguishable from Jan. 6 riot since the BLM riots were not at the Capitol and not when electoral college certification was being handled.
But Dems (and allies) doing a rather fine job of overplaying their hand on the Jan. 6 stuff, might as well just let them run with it for another 10 months or so.

Apparently there were cameras on the ballot drop off points, and people were opening back packs and dumping a hundred ballots at a time.

139 with respect, some of you seem to want to cast the riots as righteous or legal or something.
The thing is, when you use illegal means to effect a political change, it's only "legal" when you WIN and can retroactively legalize your actions by rewriting the law.
When you lose, it's illegal.

Lets get an electronic sign in front of the US Captiol which shows the number of days since the last insurrection.
Next January, when McCarthy (*blech*) is sworn in as Speaker, the number goes back to 0.

Meaning there will be an insurrection to prevent McCarthy being sworn in, or that his becoming Speaker is itself an insurrection? Or both?

I don't care in the slightest about anyone "breaking the law" to achieve one set of ends or another. "The law" only has value when it's passed and enforced by a legitimate government, and due to the theft of the Presidency for all the world to see, with congress' open approval, and the judiciary's implicit approval, there is no longer any part of the federal government that can be seen as legitimate.
And that's before we discuss the federal government's efforts to murder us with a biological weapon jointly developed with the ChiComs, and its deadlier "cures".

Apparently that twittidiot forgot the 3-night riot outside of the WH where multiple Secret Service agents were wounded, and Trump was moved into the bunker, while the twittersphere taunted Trump by calling him "bunker boy." IIRC, the mob was demanding Trump leave office at once, or they would drag him out -- even if he won re-election.

In Shogun by Clavell, there's a back and forth between the English Pilot and Toranaga where the Pilot says that there are mitigating circumstances around insurrection against their king.
And Toranaga asks "what circumstances?" And the Pilot answers: "if you win!" And Toranaga agrees that is mitigating circumstances for an insurrection.
And this is where we have failed. We have failed for two reasons. We have relied on those we had not vetted thoroughly or hid their true selves from view. And we were not ruthless enough and driven enough to fight and win. We were/are weak. I think mostly because we don't feel that we are a large enough and solid enough and clear enough about what our goals are and what we're willing to do to achieve those goals. We don't even seem to be sure we should be fighting at times. At least it looks like it.

Political violence has only come from the left. Any answer to the violence from the right has been labeled as hate and violent. When real violence happens it will be overwhelming. Nobody wants war but the rachet effect only goes one way and the pressure builds ever more. The explosion that is coming is a terrible thing. Yet the left keeps pushing. One day the pushback won't be polite.

I think mostly because we don't feel that we are a large enough and solid enough and clear enough about what our goals are and what we're willing to do to achieve those goals.
One part of the left's plan, which was executed brilliantly, was their destruction of pretty much every conservative institution and movement.
It wasn't that long ago that a group like Operation Rescue could throw a protest that would actually scare the left.
But through blackmail, bribery, and social intimidation they've taken down all those organizations and all those would be leaders, except I suppose Trump and maybe DeSantis.

But where was the riot? In the tunnels, there is video of the woman being beaten up, pulled away by peaceful protestors, and then grabbed back by the cops to be beaten again...that was the most violent video I've seen (what happened after that precipitating act).
So, is that really a "riot"? Or is that self defense against an aggressive attack?
Look, I'm not saying anyone should have been there. I also encouraged all I knew to stay the heck out of DC that day b/c it screamed "something bad is gonna go down from some side"...
So, all who were there were dumb or naive...but should we really demonize our own side b/c folks were so enthusiastic for it they got duped...and then kept getting duped that day...

In all of this it is not stated enough that the fraudulent election is the linchpin to everything. If the election was stolen then the protest was valid and everything done to counter it is wrong.
So the election can never be fraudulent. That would destroy the entire narrative arc. And no election can ever be allowed to go the other way because that would also point to 2020 being fishy. Everyone knows it was stolen. But that doesn't matter. They've constructed an overarching narrative like global warming, covid, CRT, all those things are BS but can never be denied. They are unfalsifiable components of the left's evolving religion. The cult and all its adherents will do whatever they think is necessary to end all heresies. The media are their prophets.
I'm living in a crazy assed violent theocracy. What a stupid time to be alive.

But it's hard to feel that way when 90% of any information we have access to tells us the opposite. Along with our "opposition" party. And it's nearly impossible to find like voices or organize like they (easily) do in any meaningful manner. That's why we've got to start at square one. Locally. Friends and neighbors.

Was it a riot? I have no doubt it was someone involved with antifa and John Anderson who broke the window that Ashli was trying to climb through. Funny how he only released footage of her climbing through, not the 10 seconds before.
It might take years to separate the FIB, Antifa, the 'police informants' (who were never charged) from the trespassers.
Nancy got exactly what she wanted. That's where the blame lies.

The LEO hits the woman many times with a nightstick, then decides to switch to fists, then back to the nightstick.

I can't toss him. I'm not a Texan. That said, I absolutely will not support him going any higher. This isn't saying "one thing I hate" this is carrying the Left's "violent insurrection coup attempt" narrative, which is intensely dangerous as it is obviously working toward classifying anyone who questions the election as one of those terrorists. And we all know what right-thinking people do with terrorists, don't we?
That's not a nothingburger. That's a serious problem.

you may not care but in this in-between time before the old regime has been swept aside, can we stop quibbling about whether illegal riots are in fact illegal?
My point is that "illegal" has no meaning when there is no law. If you want me to admit that riots were illegal under the laws of the old United States of America, sure, they were. But given the lack of prosecution of BLM, it's clear the USA ended much earlier than Jan 6.

I don't have issue with anything in Jesse's statement.
I don't agree, as I think Cruz's error is disqualifying for higher office... but I will agree it doesn't automatically disqualify him as a senator.

LOL. The only "breech" Biden has ever "stood" in is the breech between Tara Reid's legs when he shoved her up against the wall and pushed his hand under her skirt.

He's also probably keeping his mouth shut about the fact that he and how many others in the House and Senate have been getting the HCQ and Ivermectin treatments that have been banned for the rest of us.
Fuck every one of those assholes in DC as well as their asshole friends like Jesse Kelly. We're in a fucking war with people who want us dead and these assholes are deferring to friendships and polite statesmanship bullshit. This is exactly why the right always loses.

I have no issues with keeping the battles in house. He'll talk to Cruz and they'll ether remain friends or he'll convince him to take a different position. If not, that's his choice. I don't fault him for not wanting to use social media to fight the battle.
If no one did that, social media would die it's rightful fucking death.

If next month the election results were overturned and Biden was removed, there would be actual riots in the streets, with massive damage, bloodshed and cities would be lost to total destruction.
If next month Trump was arrested and jailed without bail, there would be shock, disbelief, some would trash their keyboards and some people would beg for others to have faith in the process and in a peaceful, respectful manner, support DJT.
Most on the right still love our country, obey laws and are patriotic.
Can Joe Biden's speechwriters claim the same?

The coup organizations told him, if he kept fighting, him or a member of his family would be killed or at least arrested.
Trump wasn't ready for that sacrifice.
But a deal with the devil never is honored ....

Impeachment 3.0
Democrats quietly explore barring Trump from office over Jan. 6
https://t.co/5zWJyujNpS
In the year since the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a handful of Democrats, constitutional scholars and pro-democracy advocates have been quietly exploring how a post-Civil War amendment to the Constitution might be used to disqualify former President Trump from holding office again.
Calls for Congress to take steps to strip Trump of his eligibility, which reached a crescendo in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot, have since decreased. But those who remain engaged on the issue say discussions about applying Section 3 of the 14th Amendment have been ongoing.
"If anything, the idea has waxed and waned," said Laurence Tribe, a constitutional expert at Harvard Law School. "I hear it being raised with considerable frequency these days both by media commentators and by members of Congress and their staffs, some of whom have sought my advice on how to implement Section 3."

And when you do something they want you to do, they surround you with love and kisses and affection and positive reinforcement.

We're the elephants, Ted. We remember. And we remember all that occurred on election day and the two months afterward where Trump was denied even the fig leaf of a show trial over the election irregularities, in state after state and at the federal level.
You want to couch the response to that on inauguration day, the day that Pence and the GOP (you too) finalized the act of stealing the election as "terrorism" then be my guest. But the idea that we should continue to support you through the system of elections in this nation has immediately become hilariously ironic.

Before the Inauguration, I thought Trump should take the helicopter straight to Dulles Airport and leave the country with his family for the UAE (non-extradition country). That was based on what I thought the Dems would do.
I think there was some sort of deal to keep Trump penned up in exchange for keeping the dogs at bay. But even THEIR polls are showing that rematch between Trump and Just Joe would have Trump winning the popular vote. He's too big of a threat. They have to take him down.

Before the Inauguration, I thought Trump should take the helicopter straight to Dulles Airport and leave the country with his family for the UAE (non-extradition country). That was based on what I thought the Dems would do.
I think there was some sort of deal to keep Trump penned up in exchange for keeping the dogs at bay. But even THEIR polls are showing that rematch between Trump and Just Joe would have Trump winning the popular vote. He's too big of a threat. They have to take him down. That's what all this is about.

That's what this is all about. Or one large part of it. Soften the target, prepare the field, for arresting or charging Trump.
Secondly, to prepare for further DOJ actions against conservative activism. That is, pave the way for the next stage of totalitarianism.

That was an interesting sidebar thing on underground powerlines.
At my university a crew was pouring insolation down into a power junction that went to the labs and a few windtunnels. They screwed something up so when they turned it back on an electrical arc exploded up out of the ground, up the side of a nearby steel warehouse and then up into the air where it was seen by a bunch of students throughout the campus. People saw a flash in the daytime a mile away. I heard it. Luckily no one was near it when they turned it back on so no one was harmed.

I've never been known to shy away from a Dick Cheney shotgun joke, but I at least didn't pretend that he was *really* dangerous.
It's funny that all these people babbling about "expertise" went white over the idea that the one company whose expertise was given a contract in building back infrastructure was chosen to build back post-war infrastructure. It *had* to be because Cheney used to work for that company!

The Dominion machines in Pennsylvania were not 'hardened' before the election. Such a proper procedure would have ensured that programs specifically capable of manipulating two columns of data were not installed. But those programs were installed which explains why 15,000 votes for Trump disappeared in eight minutes time.

In terms of the general populace, usually it takes something like famine. A revolt lead by elites requires a combination of perceived weakness in the central government and threat to status. Ambitious people in positions of power will also informally revolt (turn their territory into an effectively autonomous region) if conditions are ripe.

I've been told we will need to temporarily suspend the Bill of Rights, only for the period of time necessary to arrest all Republican voters. Effective immediately, all ISP's ( What the hell is an "ISP"? ) will disconnect a predetermined list of people from internet connections, and we expect to turn the Constitution back on pretty darn soon. My word as a Biden, folks, all patriotic Americans will really like how this turns out because covid will be over!

American liberals revere:
The CIA The FBI Big Tech Censorship David Frum Bill Kristol Liz Cheney Bush/Cheney spokesperson Nicolle Wallace Neocons generally (Max Boot & Jen Rubin) The Lincoln Project Scumbags DOJ Prosecutors NSA operatives
Data polling demonstrates this.
Today is so much worse and more pathetic than I expected and I was expecting it be extremely bad and pathetic.
Remember when Democrats said that Dick Cheney stole the 2000 election? How is he now -- eh, forget it.

This is tired though. Yes, he's just one Senator in the minority party. We're all aware that he's not leading committees or introducing legislation.
In the meantime, all he *can* do is talk, so what he says is magnified in importance.
Furthermore, if he's just one guy with no real influence, he should live life like there's no political tomorrow. That's what we sent him there for anyway. You think the 1/6 folks were terrorists Ted? Why haven't you been leading the charge investigating them, and figuring out how to protect America from this new branch of terrorism?
Or was that just mealy-mouthed speech to make sure you have a nice weekend eating out in DC restaurants?

One of our field techs was headed to a remote site on his snowmobile to deploy a generator, to keep service up. He came across down power lines, so decided to back down. Then a tree came down across the road behind him. He's stuck for now, till he can figure out a way to get around it.
Keep stuff like this in mind, when your internet service goes down in bad weather. Same is true of power outages. Someone has to get out there to fix it. Sometimes they just can't get through.

Most are good, moral, law abiding citizens that work, have families and honestly, for the most part can not devote days and weeks or even years of physical protests away from home and also, confrontations with unlawful, violent people.
Are there even a majority that would sacrifice their own lives and livelihoods to protest the injustice (of DJT being arrested)?

Yes, I said that. One guy. I'm wondering what Ted Cruz HAS done lately as a senator? What vote has he cast that made a difference? What bill has he submitted that made a difference? He's been part of committees and has spoken tough, yet it's done nothing. He is now calling everyone at the Trump rally that marched to the capitol TERRORISTS. Patriotic American Citizens are now TERRORISTS.
I think that trumps a whole hell of a lot of 'words' he's thrown down. In the stolen words of Barack Owebama, "JUST WORDS."

Yes, I said that. One guy. I'm wondering what Ted Cruz HAS done lately as a senator? What vote has he cast that made a difference? What bill has he submitted that made a difference? He's been part of committees and has spoken tough, yet it's done nothing. He is now calling everyone at the Trump rally that marched to the capitol TERRORISTS. Patriotic American Citizens are now TERRORISTS.
I think that trumps a whole hell of a lot of 'words' he's thrown down. In the stolen words of Barack Owebama, "JUST WORDS."

Except Biden still calls Donald Trump "president", Michael!

That's not totally fair b/c he did it 1st...1st cowardly act or one intended to protect oneself over others tends to bring cascades continuing the same act...aka, if he didn't do it for me, why would I do it for him...

"The Dems are so confident they will retain power forever that they are openly discussing legislation charging with and convicting Trump and Trump-supporting Congressmen of insurrection and treason."
This is not confidence. It's rabble rousing. They're feeding their base and stirring them up because they're all fed up with Biden crapping his pants. This is the state of the Dem party. They have nothing else. They are absolutely doomed in four months once campaign season really gets kicked off.

Speculating that Shell sold because of safety issue penalties they've suffered [brought upon themselves].
Expect more of the same from Mexico's operation of that plant.

The Summer of Love, was also used a political cudgel. History would have gone way different in many respects were there no St Floyd.
The Summer of Love, in fact was holding the nation hostage until the Left got its way.

I've long had this theory, why Trump went from "be there, be wild" to meek, canned stump speech:
The coup organizations told him, if he kept fighting, him or a member of his family would be killed or at least arrested.
Trump wasn't ready for that sacrifice.
But a deal with the devil never is honored ....
This is bloody dangers waters were in.
Posted by: Well at January 06, 2022 02:20 PM (6Uow+)
This could be, but he's not shy about talking about the big steal.
I do wonder why he hasn't spoken more about the J6 folks kept in terrible conditions in the joint. Maybe he's been advised it could make their cases much worse? I don't know.

This needs to be what Republicans do on day once when they take over the house and Senate next year, hell they should run on it. Form the 2020 commission to see so funded the riots, who planned them, who let all the criminals get out with no jail time, who paid to bail them out. Then when they get the presidency in 2024 start charging every single one, from politicians to celebrities.
Republicans need to start acting like Democrats, no more of this shit where they get power and then want to not ruffle any feathers of the commies on the other side who actually want them dead.

Cruz also took the lead in defending Trump against impeachment both times. He slammed Rosenstein before a Senate hearing calling for the Russian investigation to end.
When he first categorized the protestors who entered the Capitol as terrorists in February he also said at the same time that Trump had nothing to do with it and the Dems attempt to impeach Trump was just a partisan attack against Trump and millions of his supporters.

Again I don't agree at all with Cruz that this was a terrorist act but I also don't downplay what happened like a lot of people are doing. I'm aggravated that I'm in a position that I often criticize . Trying to stake out a position somewhere in the middle. Feels slimey.

So what? Sen. Cruz knew damn well he couldn't stop the House-led impeachment, so he decided to trumpet that big mouth of his again! Courage. Interestingly, Cruz took a very different approach when Trump was being a harassed by the Russian hoax cabal WHEN the GOP controlled both Houses of Congress. Wonder why that was?

I've never had any patience for rioters or political terrorists of any stripe, from Occupy Wall Street through BLM, Antifa, or the 1/6 crowd. NOBODY should think they can achieve political goals through violence and destruction - but that's not the America we live in, is it?
------------------
No, child. This country was birthed by political violence by her Founders.
For 150 years, she was kept free of petite tyrants by political violence. Then, by the end of the second World War, the tyrants figured out that if they erected a standing army of career mercenaries loyal to their paymasters, they could rule in earnest, as most Americans would fear the reprisal of their own military.
And that's where we are today. Real Conservatives keep asking why no one has the testicular fortitude to start shooting. The answer is easy, our own US Military.
