To be fair they let Trump run with this stuff a long time. It was really only after he led an attempted insurrection based on these "claims" that they shut down his ability to keep spreading this stuff.

  Are we to believe that you don't understand object permanence? Your argument amounts to "certain images of this event appear peaceful".

    It was a "mostly peaceful protest."

    Cherry pick all you want, your thoughts are more propaganda than original.

      You've said nothing but diversionary conservative talking points. You can't refute anyone's point, you're only able to muddy the water with willful ignorance.

        Charade this, charade that. Reality is hard to face, but it gets harder the longer you wait.

    How is it an attempted insurrection by any stretch of the imagination...? You choose not to see how hyperbolic MSM's coverage of the whole thing has been. I weep for how many of you have been blinded by your own flavor of propaganda, while you coyly act as though "only the _other side_ could fall for that!"

Whom among the capitol protestors is being charged with insurrection?

  The first “protestor” pled to seditious conspiracy just yesterday. https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1462481/download https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1462481/downl... Likely many other people will be pulled into this if you read the above indictment.

    I'm not sure how many "many" is, but my understanding is the vast majority of people involved were merely trespassing.

      Is that what you call this? Trespassing? https://twitter.com/RepLizCheney/status/1489691175883882496 https://twitter.com/RepLizCheney/status/1489691175883882496

      What would you call it if Democrats and BLM protesters had stormed the Capitol in 2017 demanding the vice president be hanged for not agreeing to turn over the election result? Please don't try and with a straight face claim it would be trespassing. I'd have called it insurrection.

        You do realize left-wing protestors did actually destroy a fair bit of DC in 2017, right? And when DC boarded up again in late 2020, it wasn't in fear of right-wing protesters. Anyway, while I do disdain the use of violence for political ends, I do think the events have been exaggerated and misrepresented by the corporate press for political purposes.
