that's a cop out. evading responsibility for ones words or actions. a common problem with both democrats and republicans.
the constitution labels treason as waging war against the US..............so i'm thinking your definition is only a wishful thinking pipe dream
when they went unarmed, I laughed my ass off thinking how stupid they were. I knew at that point, they were not going to be able to do anything, much less actually be an insurrection

Evading what responsibility? I simply asked you to provide me one of his posts to prove your assertion about him. That's it.

the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
Some were armed. One was charged for having a gun.when they went unarmed, I laughed my ass off thinking how stupid they were. I knew at that point, they were not going to be able to do anything, much less actually be an insurrection

I did not say that it was, but the only sentence I quoted is what I found relevant to what I said.

that is not what the Constitution defines as treason.......thats the only thing that's important
one was charged, but that person was also NEVER in the building, if you'll remember. so, nobody was really armed for an actual insurrection

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
Yeah that makes a difference.one was charged, but that person was also NEVER in the building, if you'll remember. so, nobody was really armed for an actual insurrection
And yes many were armed. It's astounding that you deny that reality.

dude, flagpoles and baseball bats are no match for guns.........knowing that the capitol police had guns and they still went with no guns, plus the idiotic thought that the cops would be on their side? it was doomed from the start and can hardly be called insurrection. that's the realityArticle III, Section 3, Clause 1:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Always find it entertaining when another attempts to break down the events of January 6th into a semantical debate as if any of that hides or lessens the realities of that day
Bottom line, a group of supporters of one particular politician attacked the US Capitol, the very seat of the Americas' democracy, with the intent of halting the Congress from executing their assigned Constitutional duties. In their attack they vandalized the Capitol, injured 140 Capitol police, and endangered members of Congress to include the Vice President of the United States. It wasn't a protest that had gotten out of control, just a riot, and hardly a "lovefest," one wonders what would have happened if the attackers had gotten their hands on certain members or leaders of Congress
Seeing nothing close to it occurred in US History since the War of 1812, it deserves full examination

They didn't have guns prior to 1600's.
rebel
this is the hyperbole I talk about when you make these claims. The capitol building is not the very seat of Americas democratic institution. That resides in the 50 states. WE created the federal government with our democracy, not the other way around.

Relevance being that guns are not necessary for insurrection and treason.

that's a false analogy.
