Breaking 1-06-21: MAGA terrorist attack on Capitol

So you can't back up your assertions. Got it.

 

It’s all out there if you take your blinders off. However; what you choose to believe is your own affairs.

 

I've seen what's out there, and most, if not all, of it has been completely debunked. But as you say, "what you choose to believe is your own affairs."

 

Pass on what you are smoking; it must be the good ****.

 

The really sad part is watching the cult followers repeat the same lies over and over and they ONLY believe it because they heard it on fox or from trump and his surrogates. When they first started "the lies" I thought people would not be so gullible but I was so wrong, you hear from the cult followers and its word for word as if its true without doing any fact checking.....................I am not going to call them dumb, but there so gullible its sad

 

the only thing that dude is smoking is trumps pole.

 

Roach clip confirmed.

 

He only got the best... is there a count on how many of his cabinet and advisers were indicted and were convicted?

 

I am sure his boy trump will put a $5 spot on his books for some much needed vaseline...............couldn't happen to a better guy, well maybe Bannon Y`all lied and tried to cheat the American public but in the end you got yours............it took too long but they finally gotcha

 

Its clear that the difference between when stefanaik released her original statement about January 6 (those who stormed the Capitol “must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”)and her current position ("they are hostages") was her shift to full on maga and her ambition to be trump's vp.

 

Judge 'shocked' by efforts to 'rewrite history' of Jan. 6 attack, those who label perpetrators 'hostages'

The "rhetoric could presage further danger to our country," the judge wrote.

A senior judge for the D.C. district court issued a scathing rebuke on Thursday of those he says are trying to "rewrite history" of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, writing he has been "shocked" to see some public figures attempt to label the perpetrators of the violence that day as "hostages."

"I have been dismayed to see distortions and outright falsehoods seep into the public consciousness," senior judge Royce Lamberth, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan with nearly 40 years of judicial experience, said in a written ruling Thursday. "I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved 'in an orderly fashion' like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as 'political prisoners' or even, incredibly, 'hostages.' That is all preposterous."

"But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country," Lamberth added.

Lamberth's comments came as part of a ruling tied to a sentencing of a Jan. 6 defendant convicted of misdemeanor offenses, James Little, who has sought to argue he's the victim of a political prosecution. Little was initially ordered to be sentenced to 60 days in jail and three years on probation -- Little appealed and federal appeals court sent it back to Lamberth for resentencing even though Little had already completed his incarceration.

Lamberth has presided over many other high-profile Jan. 6 cases including Jacob Chansley, known as the "QAnon Shaman," and Christopher Worrell, the former Proud Boys member who went missing just before he was set to be sentenced for his role in the Jan. 6.

"The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong," Lamberth wrote in response to Little's claims. "But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream."

Former President Donald Trump has referred to Jan. 6 defendants as "hostages."

"The J6 hostages, I call them," Trump said at a rally on the eve of the Jan. 6 anniversary this year. "Nobody has been treated ever in history so badly as those people nobody's ever been treated in our country."

While not mentioning Trump or others in the GOP who have used "hostages" rhetoric, Lamberth cited his decades of judicial experience and time presiding over dozens of Jan. 6 prosecutions to "set the record straight."

"The Court cannot condone the shameless attempts by Mr. Little or anyone else to misinterpret or misrepresent what happened," Lamberth said. "It cannot condone the notion that those who broke the law on January 6 did nothing wrong, or that those duly convicted with all the safeguards of the United States Constitution, including a right to trial by jury in felony cases, are political prisoners or hostages."

Sounds like the perfect type of VP Trump would want. If you are willing to bend over backwards to twist the narrative while kissing his his butt with joy in you are hired!

 

Unfortunately this is more the norm for the GOP. We’ve seen everyone from Lindsey Graham to Vivek Ramaswamy change their views about what happened Jan. 6.

Pretty much if you want to get anywhere or even maintain your position in the current GOP have to:
Believe the 2020 election was stolen
Believe January 6 was either overblown and / or a false flag.
Be loyal to Trump.

 

His words will never penetrate the bubbles where they could make any difference whatsoever, but at least a future society will find another sane voice crying out during our descent. Sigh.

 

We see it here all the time. The MAGA view January 6 and the 2020 of election as articles of faith. When pressed on evidence their views evidence is that a lot of people believe that Jan 6. Was a false flag and that rhe last election was stolen.

I’ve had debates with religious people regarding the existence of god and one of the arguments is they because a lot of people believe that God exists that means he exists. In other words the belief is the evidence.

 

It was both a false flag, and Ashli Babbitt was a hero/victim. Double speak nonsense.

“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire. If you stifle logical thinking early, it rarely develops at all. It's the core of the religious school voucher push.... that and all the grift that goes with it.

 

Does this VP come with “benefits”?

Asking for a “friend”.
