Do you think the crowd did anything wrong that day, Darrin?
Keep going
Do you think the crowd did anything wrong that day, Darrin?
Keep going with what? I agree with you, the two aren’t comparable. One was an existential threat to our democracy and could have sent the country into total anarchy. The other one was an Islamic terrorist attack.
Refute it.
How is 1/6 a lesser event? Because less people died? Country was betrayed by her own president and his supporters followed.
Home of Trump attorney Michael van der Veen vandalized
"Traitor" was spray painted in red on his driveway
sucks to suck
The Donald should have at least told them to use blue spray paint.
Well, we would first need to establish that 70 million voters thought he was a good president, as opposed to just merely better than the alternative.
I am, I'm posting to you.
He upheld rule of law
His bank account does not suck
You can't escape the tribalism mentality. It's not surprising you'd think I'm defending "my side", since you've dedicated your life to the "party".
Did 70 million vote for the attempted coup?
Why would you need to establish that? Since when has that ever been known?
It was an attack on the US government no matter how hard it makes you laugh.
What's the next regression? Forced entry?
He’s a cut rate PI lawyer. Lawyers like van der veer are the gutter rats of the legal community.
No regression, an attack on the US government is an attempted coup. Trying to stop the certification of electoral votes is a literal attack on the Cons ution -- our form of government. It's also a fairly stark break from the hitherto US norm of peaceful transitions.
