Not a coincidence that the Proud Boys/MAGAts/Neo-Confederates/traitors preferred downtown dive bar (Harry's) is also a cop bar.

This person is a member of my family. It's worth noting he was also booted from the Air Force academy for-wait for it-honor code violations.
What do we do with people that fraternize with officers while a cadet and then lie about it? Make them DC Metro cops, and put them in the intelligence division!
Where he also was fraternizing with a superior officer.
Funny, that. His dad's buried at Arlington, too. Shame on you, Shane.

I thought it was George Soros and his army of COVID vaccine controlled adrenochrome powered socialist super zombies that emerged from under pizza parlours all over America just to make daddy Tump look bad after loosing an election that George also somehow rigged without their being a shed of evidence.

It’s whichever the wind is blowing that day and what fits their narrative best. It’s confusing.

u/Mental_Examination_1 11d ago
It's whatever is most convenient to their current argument, I've heard them say it was antifa, it was real patriots fighting the left, it wasn't violent, it was violent to make trump look bad, it was a revolution, it was just a guided tour and innocent protest
Huge amounts of those ppl have never even bothered to watch the hours upon hours of video or looked at any of the court cases and their evidence, they certainly don't know tons of trumps people and his own children testified how he was involved in influencing and using it to his advantage

Good, he is a traitor to his own nation and deserves the old school traitor punishment.

Exactly. The news is nothing more than a psychological torture device anymore.

Says the people supporting an unelected cabal that’s been leading the country unconstitutionally the past 4 years due to Biden mental decline.

u/Ezren- 13d ago
Sure, whatever you say cupcake. A comment like this shows more mental decline than anything Biden's ever done.

Hard to have quality news with ad hominems like that.

Nothing quality about your point of view there. Mental decline is almost too kind.

How did they get and hold you? Is it Kool Aid from the Trump Online swap meet? Did you know he a couple days ago, he added new sales items for purchase by you cult members? He'll have plenty of time to market his items, as President Musk will do the heavylifting at the White House.

Well first time my wife saw double digit pay increases I her career outside of working at a firm was during Trump. 16% in 2017, 17% in 2018, 15% in 2019, nothing in 2020 due to the pandemic and back to 2.5 or 3% in 2021 same as it was under the Obama years. That was a pay increase from $110k to over $150k in 3 years. That was pretty god koolaid.
But you al drink that cyanide laced flavor aid.

We've had a better economic recovery than every other western nation post covid, your anecdote about your personal pay doesn't reflect the reality of situation, the entire world was negatively impacted during covid and our recover has been exceptional compared to the rest of the world
also we were hit so hard economically by the pandemic in part to trumps insistence on keeping the economy running so hot despite the clear signs interest rates should have come up, not to mention his denial of covid initially, throwing out the plan we had for such occasions and starting bidding wars between states for medical equipment after his nepotism appointment hired kids to source supplies

So a coordinated attack perpetuated by the President to over throw the government including a known domestic terrorist group coordinating with DC cops isn’t terrorism but a woman saying the three words a dude said while killing a CEO on the phone is terrorism. Full on Trump’s America.

So, if he knew ahead of time about what was going down, doesn’t that mean it was an inside job the whole time?

So, are you are saying that the Feds knew about it ahead of time, but still didn’t try to prevent it?

u/Grand-Cartoonist-693 10d ago
Can you explain what would have constituted trying to stop it to you? I saw a number of actions that fit the bill right there in the article. Up to a point (breaking in) those people had a right to be there for a political rally. The actual President incited a mob, how do you stop that?

If it was truly a “coordinated attack”, they obviously could have beefed up security. Unless, they actually wanted it to happen.

Trump will pardon the police officer. This is an outrageous error by the judicial system.

Whenever Trump mentioned pardoning those convicted for Jan. 6th crimes, why didn't anyone ever ask if that included those convicted of sedition?
