    At least they aren't going to storm in there.

    Are you seriously calling what happened on Jan 6th a "disruption"?

    It's not hard to distinguish the difference.

    How many cops were killed, hurt, or even attacked? How many went into the building?

    Protesters chanted outside. Was his swearing in postponed? Was democracy in peril? Did cops get beaten with an American flag or other instrument? Did they build a gallows? Did they shout “Hang Clarence Thomas”?

    "Shut Down DC" (I'm taking a tweet at face value here and assuming they exist) should be monitored for illegal activity. If they break the law, they should be cited or, if appropriate, arrested.

    If any public servants are goading or assisting "Shut Down DC" in an effort to interrupt SCOTUS, then that public servant should be investigated too.

    This is not that hard people.

    I can't believe some of you are saying: "well, here are some radical leftists climbing on things, sooo.... ummm... let's just ignore January 6, m'kay! Even though a sitting president tried to interrupt the counting of votes in an election he lost. Oops. Lulz."

    By that I mean: I can completely believe it, but it's ever more sad.

    I know you only use twitter, but you really should try to find a definition of insurrection (hint; a key element is violence).

    When people tell you who they are, trust them. Maybe he's not playing.

    I remember how MTG, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Ted Cruz helped incite the coup with Trump's lies and propaganda right before the insurrection. And least Liz has the courage to speak out! She's one of the few Republicans left in that party who isn't trying to cover up the truth.

    The attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya was investigated by the FBI, by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, by FIVE House committees (Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Judiciary, Intelligence, Oversight and Reform), and then again by a separate House Select Committee John Boehner formed in 2014.

    Hillary Clinton testified before the House committee for 11 hours in 2015.



    Michael Bay made a movie.

    Republicans rented out theaters for the movie.



    A night at the 2016 Republican National Convention was devoted to Benghazi.







    And hundreds of thousands of t-shirts were sold, like this one worn by Joe Biggs the “Proud Boys” leader that was recently indicted on seditious conspiracy for his role in the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.

    Yes. If there are people who try to invade the USSC to shut it down they should be arrested and I'm all for protecting the USSC. If any politician were to be working with organizers of it they should be at the minimum investigated and charged. If Biden gives a speech encouraging it and then does nothing for hours to stop it he should be impeached.

    I've yet to hear anything close to that.

    Only Right Wingnut SCWs have the right to protest. All others deserve to be shot.

    grasping for false equivalency, arent you?

    as soon as biden organizes a rally for them and tells them that they have been cheated, they must "fight like hell", his personal attorney publicly calls for "trial by combat" and the president says that he will march with them to the supreme court and then his supporters storm the supreme court building and assault cops, threaten to hang justices and trash the building then we can talk.

    Did they do this thinking that they can overturn the opinion if they physically prevent it from being issued?

    That guy posing as a Commodore is in reality just a Seaman Recruit swabbing BS off Trump's sinking ship.

    No violence should be condoned. Anyone committing violence should be arrested. If only you thought that way about the far right groups. You never condone them and their Orange coup leader and call for them to be arrested. You can't just pick and choose who to point fingers at and be taken seriously dude.
