    what the hell would you call it?
    actually I would call the above a mostly peaceful protest lied about by an idiot lib'rul.......nobody threatened to kill anyone, hang anyone, searched for anyone, or broke into anything.......

    I see many of you have received marching orders to push his no war thing....

    I guess I could point out Venezuela ran into poverty, smothering Cuba again, assassination in Iran & provoking them or lifting lil kim un to respectability, but yea, he didn't start a war...........

    I wonder if he was perhaps was saving it for his second or third term

    I think it's a very apt comparison....and follows the story: Dr. Frankenstein creates the Monster then betrays it. In Shelley's story the Monster seeks revenge. Given have many nutjobs were Trump fans, most of whom now feel betrayed, I wonder if Trump's story will continue to follow Shelley's.

    Trump may try to placate them but the knife he stuck in their backs is still there. Hundreds, of not thousands, will now have convictions on their records. Sure, many may just get probation, but many are being fired from their jobs while in their late 30s to late 50s. Others will serve prison time. That's something that won't be easily forgotten.

    Agreed Trump isn't wise. He's delusional, never very bright and doesn't fully comprehend what he's done.

    Good to see you acknowledging your ppl engaged in a insurrection against the USA..

    Even the one that spoke the insurrection into existence publicly betrayed them

    Some of the insurrectionist displayed various Christian symbols etc..

    trump failed to order them to stop & your leadership still supports trump

    Really, do you have a leg to stand on??

    You've no idea what an insurrection is, you just heard CNN say it so you are repeating it.

    An insurrection is an organized effort to topple authority and this was no such thing.

    I doubt any of them even knew what was going to happen that day other than hearing a speech by Trump.

    The left really are idiots.

    So how is that Civil wat going cause I haven't noticed it.

    People can shout whatever they want but that doesn't make it true.

    If they shouted they were doing it for Obama would you believe them?

    Because that is not the definition of an insurrection.

    An insurrection is quite a MIT more organized like the Revolutionary or Civil Wars.

    This was a single event in an era of such events by one tiny group of protestors.

    If this was an insurrection then what do you call what Antifa are doing?

    Or various Hollywood celebtities calling for the death of the president.

    You are being extremely selective in your outrage.

    A rising or rebellion of citizens against their government, usually manifested by acts of violence.

    Under federal law, it is a crime to incite, assist, or engage in such conduct against the United States.
    So what BLM has been doing for years then?

    It failed. Idiots are being arrested as we chat about it. Were you hiding so deep you never heard about it? Many of the big talkers on JPP missed it. Laundry day or something. Is that what happened to you?

    Agreed.

    I only believe in facts and a consensus of reasonable people. What do you believe?
