Yes, I believe it was a full on coup attempt on your country. I mean that was after all its stated aim.

You like throwing that word traitor around...


Remind us - what did you get thrown out of the service for??

Well they were trying to overthrow a democratically elected government so perhaps terrorist is an alternative. Is that better for you?

Listen to this negotiation. This is what happens when you realize you're an asshole who jumped the shark. You start fishing around for someone who's at least no worse than you.

You've settled on The Blacks, as is your habit. On account of how our cities are all now smoldering ash.

Too bad this wasn't protest that got out of hand but an insurrection that had a goal of overriding the 2020 election and yes that is an act of terrorism.

The assohole who was pictured with his feet up on Pelosi's desk had a stun stick. What does anyone think he would have used that for if she had actually been in that office?

The Trumpists carried out an attempt to actually physically overthrow a government through violence, the BLM protests were just protests that goy a bit fiesty. The should ALL be imprisoned.

Why would any informed person agree to that nonsense? Not every act of violence is a terrorist act, and neither is every protest that turns violent.

A fairly important thing to remember (or in your case, learn) is that in almost every BLM protest that turned violent, it was the cops who started the violence. If protestors with permits are standing on the sidewalk, carrying their signs and chanting their slogans and get charged by the cops wielding riot batons and pepper spray, which ones are the terrorists?
