It's not even close. The terrible policies that followed the Summer of 2020 were devastating to the country, while after J6 the Capitol got $2B in security improvement and people taking rallies more seriously. 1
Niagara Bill Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 32 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: The most important example of the clips Tucker showed was NOT of the protestors, but was the edited clip of the congressional representatives running from the chamber. The clips were edited to make it look as if only one member was running away, but the entire clip reveals that not only was he not the ONLY member running away, but he was NOT in the lead. In fact, all of the members were following the direction of the Capitol Police and the member in question was actually bringing up the rear. Shame on the Committee and on anyone who listened to a word they had to say after seeing that example! Don’t believe or agree with me. Consider this….a jury just sent Murdoch away for LIFE for lying about video evidence. I support what you are saying in this post. Only 1 issue, invasion of congress and who helped plan and support it. The rest is bullpoop. 1

My point is that Jan 6th was the polar opposite for the American psyche compared to that of Lake Placid 1980. And people are trying, unsuccessfully to rationalize it. Can't be done to a logical human... Sherpa is a good poster, though I don't see him playing many games. He seems pretty direct and gets to the point. A logical human realizes that things don't happen in a vacuum, and that context matters in a hyper-politicized environment. Same video of Team USA, take the emotional temperature of the people when the McCarthyesque Part Deux Russia debacle is in full tilt, American psyche is "...polar opposite...compared to that of Lake Placid 1980". L. Ron said, and more than a few agree, that he didn't care about that version of lies and manipulation when people were pitted against each other. You implied it didn't really matter much, those particular claims of stolen elections. I used to wonder "why two standards?", but I've come to realize people can fool themselves into believing the lies they were fed were necessary to achieve the greater good, and sort of skip right past the obvious and stunning hypocrisy of their point of view. Me? I wish the democrats had played it straight in 2016-2020, come after Trump politically without unfounded and scurrilous allegations of treason and fraudulent elections, and the absurd Mueller probe. I wish that had Trump lost thereafter, that he would have left the WH, regrouped and attacked the dems politically. However, the dems lied, schemed, manipulated and persecuted for 5 full years...and won. It seems highly illogical to assume that their destructive yet winning formula would not be reintroduced in 2020, so we get what we get. These are the rules of an ugly game, but that's what you wanted. 1 3

There is absolutely no way to justify what happened on Jan 6. But feel free to continue your flimsy attempts. The silver lining is that the R party is effectively split right now..NH and Arkansas governors both recently spoke against trump's candidacy. McConnell and a handful of other powerful R's rebuked Ole Tuck and Fox and the usual suspects applauded him. Good stuff if you r a D Edited March 7, 2023 by redtail hawk

The whole thing was shown on every tv across the globe. That’s why the cult tries to whitewash EVERYTHING and share false equivalencies instead of acknowledging that they were conned. That’s ok - the fringe will always be the fringe. 1

The fact that you are upset that more than 1% of the video is now available to the public speaks volumes about your trust in politicians. 3 1

Good stuff if you r a D It's interesting that when I respond to your posts, which seemingly spin off in directions that are difficult to follow, you respond back with gibberish befitting a BillSy post. Over the last few days, it's been eggs, baskets, concrete walls, the national pulse after teh 1980 Olympic hockey game, and a triple lindy time travel to 1/6/2020 as if there was nothing that happened in the intervening 40 years. You're lying about my take on 1/6, there's no reason for that other than to change the subject. That's yours prerogative, but it's fairly obvious that when confronted by your own hypocrisy, you run. 3 1

I had a series of conversations about the shaman, the riot in general and the punishment meted out. I made no attempts to "justify" 1/6, and the only way to frame that is that @redtail hawk chose to misrepresent what I said and how I feel. I can't say why, but certainly can say that in person, had he done that, it's as simple as saying "You're full of ^&%&, I said nothing of the sort". On the internet, people can take the easy road and just move on. 2

First story first. Yes, the committee is terrible but expected in this political climate. You knew where this was heading, just like you knew that RoevWade would be an issue when Supreme Court members were approved...politics. BUT,, Trump went against his country, all parties, all citizens
