Your attempt to minimize the insurrection on 1/6 by VASTLY misstating the cost of the destruction, is not nit-picking. 
You have no point to make.

RE: The Official "Damned Trump" Thread
Hi everyone I may pop in and out now and again. Though I feel quite a bit better getting away from the forum for a bit. Though I'll likely be here less consistently to avoid another burnout.  

Now as for the subject 

Insurrections are not defined by the death toll or damage done. They're defined by the goals of the insurrectionists. The goal of the Jan 6 insurrectionists was to prevent a wing of the government from performing their duty and overriding a fair and free election and attempting to kill members of the government based on a lie invented by the president of the United States and at his behest. If that's not an Insurrections I don't know what is. None of these conditions are met by the uprising of 1967, And it's telling someone needs to go back to freaking 1967 to downplay the severity of the greatest domestic threat to American democracy in recent memory. Disgusting  Dodgy

And FYI No Trump, No Big Lie, No capital storming, No dead guard. He is to blame by all evidence we have.

His while shtick during this whole thing is to either downplay it or desperately compare it to things that are nothing like it. He thinks riots and street violence are on par with trying to overturn an election  Dodgy

Piss off.

You concentrate on the dollar value and overlook the fact that " your team" is fine with death and destruction as long as you' re the ones doing it.

Keep telling us how holy your cause.

Maybe we will believe.

Just like you.

RE: The Official "Damned Trump" Thread
You're the one who brought up dollars and death in the first place to try and downplay the severity of the insurrection, And then you got caught downplaying the actual cost. Then like always you tried to make a false equivocation between street violence and an attempt to overthrow a wing of the government due to lies about the election now. The two aren't equal because the goals are not equal.

There are valid reasons for using historical events as a reference or for precedent, but it's a hilarious stretch to compare the 1967 riots to the 1/6 capitol insurrection.  About the only thing they both have in common is that violent mobs rioted and did a lot of damage.  Comparing the extent of the damage is not relevant.  Comparing the intent and potential outcome of the rioting is irrelevant because no one in 1967 had the intent or potential to overthrow the federal government and install a despot.  This is how countries transition from republics to dictatorships.  That is precisely what the 1/6 insurrection was about, an attempted coup.  Ham-fisted it was and unlikely to succeed, but I don't recall ineptitude being an excuse for breaking the law.



Quote:Hillary was poison.

The GOP could have ran a dead squirrel against Hillary and won - the LOGICAL choice would have been BIDEN.  But noooooo... The Dims had to go with "You OWE ME Hillary" and got us stuck with the worst president in 100 years......

Way to go....

That's not even close to accurate.  Clinton polled very popular just a few years before 2016 and led most polls against projected Democrat AND Republican contenders.  It wasn't a matter of Democrats having to have Hillary so much as Hillary running an extremely strong campaign, so much so that many qualified Democrats hesitated to join the race.  Hillary's real Achille's heal was Bernie and the under 30 voters, who saw her as too entrenched.
Why is it so?

RE: The Official "Damned Trump" Thread
It's probably more accurate to say that hitlery was poison - to the conservative mind - . People who'd been listening to hate radio for decades. She was popular with the establishment, and she did win the vote.

OTOH, she made those same hate media consumers panic vote for the donald.

Plus I wouldn't be too surprised if people like OLB's orange fuhrer and his brownshirts are putting pressure on them.  Late night telephone calls, letters in the post, bullets with their names on them, that kind of stuff.

Many Trump supporters were AWFULLY interested in knowing who shot Ashley Abbott.
