Comments by "Samuel Weir" (@samuelweir5985) on "Day of Rage: How Trump Supporters Took the U.S. Capitol | Visual Investigations" video.

  1. "I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day. And I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable." - Michael Pence, former Vice President of the United States of America.
    255
  2. The Republican Party before Trump: "We are the party of Law and Order!" The Republican Party after Trump: "Hey, at least our riot wasn't as bad as Antifa's."
    81
  3. They're always ready to invent a new wacky conspiracy theory whenever they don't like the truth.
    52
  4. Here's a question for everyone. You Trump supporters are welcome to offer an answer, too: What kind of President says the words "We love you. You're very special." to a mob of rioters after they just spent hours rioting in the US Capitol?
    30
  5. Republicans before Trump: "We are the party of Law and Order!" Republicans after Trump: "OK, but at least we're not as bad as Antifa!"
    29
  6. That guy and his fellow rioters were the ones who were trying to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.
    27
  7. Thanks to digital technology, this video will be as clear and crisp 100 years from now as it is today. The January 6, 2021 Capitol Riot will be a permanent stain on the Republican Party.
    20
  8. Trump supporters claim to support the US Constitution but yet support an ex-President who was claiming that his own Vice President effectively had the power to choose the next President.
    18
  9. Trump - Federal Penitentiary, 2024!
    12
  10. Concerning Ashli Babbitt, watch the video starting from 27:00 . In the moments leading up to the shooting of Babbitt, I heard the rioters shouting "He's got a gun!" or "There's a gun!" multiple times. I heard the word "gun!" at least four times being shouted by the rioters as they warned each other that the police officer had drawn his handgun as a warning to anyone who breached the door and tried entering the corridor he was defending. But despite those multiple warning shouts, Ashli Babbitt decided to breach the door by going through the broken window. Why?
    12
  11. Looks like he's a loser to me.
    10
  12. You Republicans should make sure that someone else other than Trump wins the Republican nomination because, I'm sorry, but if Trump wins the Republican nomination then I and a lot of other independents are going to automatically vote against him.
    9
  13. Massive crowd of sore losers.
    9
  14. Hmmmm......I don't remember Democrats rioting on the US Capitol in an attempt to steal a certified US presidential election.
    9
  15. Yup, you get hunted down, arrested, lose your job, your career, your friends, and destroy your family relationships.
    8
  16. The Capitol insurrectionists thought that saying the Pledge of Allegiance or singing the Star-Spangled Banner justifies their insurrection riot or would prevent them for getting arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy. Funny.
    7
  17. 488 days now since the Capitol Riot and STILL no proof or solid evidence presented for the alleged "stolen election".
    7
  18.  @lavarburton1849  Sure we believe you. 😄
    6
  19. Trump (on 1/6/21): "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!.......YOU FIGHT! AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!". Also, FYI, Trump used the word "peacefully" only once in his speech on 1/6/21. He used the words "fight" or "fighting" nineteen times.
    6
  20. A massive crowd of sore losers....
    6
  21.  @johnmiller7612  Yeah, because he wasn't man enough or mature enough to admit that he lost the election.
    6
  22. Trump (on 1/6/21): "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!......YOU FIGHT! AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!". Trump used the word "peacefully" only once in his +1 hour speech on 1/6/21. He used the word "fight" or "fighting" 19 times. Yeah, you cherry-picked the one time in his entire speech that he used the word "peaceful" and ignored all of the 19 times that he used the words "fight" or "fighting".
    6
  23. What kind of President says "We love you. You're very special." to a mob of rioters after they spent hours rioting and assaulting police officers at the US Capitol?
    6
  24. That reminds me: Your wife said to tell you that you still haven't finished mopping her kitchen floor of all the tears you shed in the last election.
    6
  25.  @oooops8883  Yeah, I guess that those screams of "Hang Pence!" by Trump supporters angry at Pence for not halting the counting of the Electoral College votes were all my imagination.
    6
  26. And just like that Republicans were beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them.
    6
  27. Trump telling his supporters to be "peaceful" on 1/6/21: "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!.......YOU FIGHT! AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!"
    6
  28. No "stolen votes", but there was a President and his supporters who tried to steal a certified Presidential election with a riot on the US Capitol.
    6
  29. The participation of some to many of the rioters may have been spontaneous, but there's no doubt that some of the rioters came prepared and equipped for violence with plans to breach the Capitol.
    6
  30. "Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6", USA Today. "No Proof that Trump offered 10,000 Guard Troops for the Capitol", Politifact. "AP FACT CHECK: Trump distorts record on National Guard in DC", AP News. "Trump Lies Again That Nancy Pelosi Refused National Guard Help For Jan. 6", Yahoo News.
    6
  31. "Wow. All those FBI agents and antifa with Trump hats on." 🙄🙄🙄
    6
  32. No, all the Capitol insurrectionist rioters did was to try to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election and destroy over 200 years of American Democracy.
    6
  33.  @XYZ-sq7ki  "yes, but MANY trump supporters deny that the majority of the rioters there were truly trump supporters… " Yeah, well many Trump supporters also believe in Trump's "stolen election" lie, and that voting machines were hacked by "Italian military satellites" and "Chinese thermometers".
    6
  34. It's now been over a year since the Capitol riot. If you have some solid, mind-blowing information then you had better produce it before we all die of old age...
    6
  35. Ashli Babbitt: Rioter and a member of a mob of angry, violent rioters who were trying to get at members of Congress.
    6
  36. This all happened because a current ex-President wasn't mature enough or man enough to admit that he lost the election. He's like a little, immature brat who throws over the checkers board when he loses a game.
    5
  37. That's a whole lot of crazy packed into just one sentence.
    5
  38. #TrumpLostBigly!
    5
  39. And if you did, you would now be sitting alone in Federal prison cell waiting for your next court date.
    5
  40. Ronald Reagan would be stunned if he could watch this video and see what has become of his Republican Party.
    5
  41. Yup, an insurrection riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election is no ordinary riot. You figure it out.
    5
  42. You got it backwards: We don't need to convince you. You need to convince the rest of us.
    5
  43. He won a place in US history as America's only twice-impeached President and for inciting an historic riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election for himself.
    5
  44. Why don't you ask Fox News to do that?
    5
  45. Check out Ethan Nordean, a Proud Boys leader, introduced at around 7:20 in the video. He was arrested in February, and is now in Federal custody and upset that Trump abandoned him: Ethan Nordean: ""We are now and always have been on our own. So glad he (Trump) was able to pardon a bunch of degenerates as his last move and s--- on us on the way out. F--- you Trump you left us on the battle field bloody and alone." - "'You left us': Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean slams Trump in expletive-laden message", USA Today, 5/14/21.
    5
  46. Time for your medications, Jimmy.
    5
  47. One of the two sets of rioters tried to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.
    5
  48. Don't most rioters have a point that they're trying to get across? 🤔 Don't most terrorists have a point that they're trying to get across? 🤔
    5
  49. Let's see......Trump got a presidential election stolen from right under his nose by a "guy with dementia". Trump failed to build the Wall because Nancy outsmarted him and outmaneuvered him for four years. Trump got framed for the Capitol Riot by Democrats who used a "setup". Gee, this Trump guy sounds like a real dummy. He's getting outsmarted by EVERYONE! Why do you support a dummy who gets outsmarted by everyone?
    5
  50. Wow. You might want to take a break from giving yourself those disinfectant injections for awhile.....
    5
  51. You posted that on a video investigation showing Republicans losing their minds and rioting on the US Capitol because their guy lost the election? You're funny.
    5
  52. Eleven Trump supporter insurrectionists have been charged with seditious conspiracy. You happy now?: 18 U.S.C. § 2384: Seditious Conspiracy: "If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them,...., they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both."
    5
  53. 🙄
    5
  54. Several people died at the Capitol riot, and many others were seriously injured.
    5
  55. Trump himself told his supporters to go and march to the Capitol. Didn't you know?
    5
  56. How could someone as stupid and immature and incompetent as Trump get 74 million votes? Maybe I should throw a riot because I can't believe it?
    5
  57. Isn't your party the one which is saying that a riot is "legitimate political discourse"?
    5
  58. Trump lies as naturally as he breathes. He just wasn't man enough or mature enough to admit that he lost to Biden.
    5
  59. Ashli Babbitt was a rioter.
    5
  60. Democracy is a wonderful thing. We should respect it and not whine and promote fake "election fraud" conspiracy theories and throw a riot on the US Capitol simply because our preferred candidate doesn't win.
    5
  61. You seem to be desperate to try to blame everyone except the one guy who incited the riot on the Capitol.
    5
  62. It's not like most of these Trump supporter rioters were trying to keep their support for Trump a secret. Lots of them posted their support for Trump on social media such as Facebook or Twitter, boasted to friends and acquaintances about their support for Trump, or are even recognized active members of pro-Trump groups such as the Proud Boys.
    5
  63. Barbara, did you know that mental health treatment is covered by ObamaCare?
    5
  64. Looking forward to seeing your FBI mugshot. Remember to smile.

    5
  66. It's a riot on the US Capitol.
    5
  67.  @bobuxman69  "what about the riots that burned down citys in 2020" Republicans before Trump: "We are the party of Law and Order!" Republicans after Trump: "But, but, but,.....what about Antifa?"
    5
  68. Go outside and scream at the sky. You'll feel better! 😄
    5
  69. Oh, that's right. These people were all just "tourists" who were engaging in "legitimate political discourse" and are now unfairly being held as "political prisoners". 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
    5
  70. You Trump supporters are even bigger whiners about losing an election than you all claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost.
    5
  71. There will be a cold cell in a Federal penitentiary waiting for you.
    5
  72.  @timstingel9067  Well, the problem with your defense is that there is no factual evidence for your claims. On the other hand, we have hundreds of confirmed Trump supporters who have been identified and arrested with video evidence of them committing violent acts at the Capitol Riot.
    5
  73. Trump rioter giving his legal defense in front of a Federal judge in Federal court: "But, but, but,......what about BLM?".
    5
  74. You got the wrong lesson. Over 700 Trump supporter rioters have now been arrested for the Capitol Riot and Insurrection, with many of them losing their jobs, wrecking their careers, destroying their family relationships, and being shunned by their friends because they decided to listen to and act on the "stolen election" lies of an ex-president who wasn't man enough or mature enough to admit that he lost a certified US presidential election.
    5
  75. The Trump insurrection was an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election. It was an attempt to destroy over 200 years of American Democracy. If you don't understand how serious of a crime that is, then there is no hope for you.
    5
  76. Babbitt was killed in the act of committing crimes. If she had survived, she would be facing multiple criminal charges right now.
    5
  77. Yeah, Trump supporters smashing windows and bashing doors and beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them looks a lot less chaotic if the footage isn't rolled around. Good point.
    5
  78. Oh, you mean that there is also the "alternative facts" way of Trump and his supporters.
    4
  79. Yeah, as the world's economies come out of COVID lockdowns and deal with supply-chain issues and getting people back to work, there are inflation spikes. We would still have these inflation spikes if Trump were president now. The only difference would be that he would be saying over and over and over again that it wasn't his fault.
    4
  80. Trump and his rioting supporters tried to steal an election.
    4
  81. Trump tried to steal a certified US presidential election on January 6, 2021. Unforgivable.
    4
  82.  @sambo9584  It was an insurrection. Look up the word in the dictionary. Give it up. Even Fox News calls the Capitol Riot an "insurrection".
    4
  83. Sometimes the truth hurts.
    4
  84. Uh, huh.
    4
  85. You can visit them in Federal prison - or maybe join them in Federal prison next time!
    4
  86. That's your response to a riot on the US Capitol by Trump and his supporters in their attempt to steal a certified US Presidential election?
    4
  87. Looks like they all went under the spell of the Donald Trump reality distortion field.
    4
  88. Trump - Federal Penitentiary 2024 !!!
    4
  89. Republican Party before Trump: "We are the Party of Law and Order!" Republican Party after Trump: "Hey, at least our riot wasn't as bad as Antifa's."
    4
  90. Pelosi never "blocked" the National Guard from deploying, and Trump never offered to deploy the National Guard for Pelosi. That's just yet another lie from Trump.
    4
  91. Trump's riot.
    4
  92.  @johnmiller7612  Better than the guy who tried to steal a certified US Presidential election by inciting an insurrection riot on the US Capitol. Try finding someone better to run for the Republican nomination next time than the most stupid, most immature, most corrupt billionaire in the country.
    4
  93. Go complain to Fox News and ask them to make one about Portland. Doing a 6-month long investigation of a riot isn't cheap and the NYT just finished doing one.
    4
  94. Ashli Babbitt's epitaph: "She Gave Her Life Not To Defend American Democracy, But To Try To Destroy It."
    4
  95. On 1/6/21, Trump and Trump supporters tried to steal a certified US Presidential election, and they failed.
    4
  96. You think that doing this investigation was inexpensive? You think that the NYT has the manpower and financial resources to do multiple in-depth investigation? Why don't you either write the NYT a million-dollar check to do additional video investigations, or go ask Fox News why they haven't done a quality investigative report on other riots like the NYT did with the Capitol Riot?
    4
  97. What's really funny is that these are the same people who were saying that Democrats were going to have a melt-down if their guy lost the election.
    4
  98. Trump: "Uhhh, Nasty Nancy? Hi, Donald Trump here. I just wanted to give you a quick call to tell you that I just enraged a large mob of my supporters and sent them down the street your way. They should be getting to the Capitol in a few minutes, OK, gotta run to my office to watch what happens on TV! Bye!".
    4
  99. Number of times Trump used the word "peace" or "peacefully" or "peaceful" in his speech at the Capitol on 1/6/21: Once. Number of times Trump used the word "fight" or "fighting" in his speech at the Capitol on 1/6/21: Twenty (20). "
    4
  100. Trump and Trump supporters threw an insurrection riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn a certified US presidential election and destroy over 200 years of American Democracy.
    4
  101. Trump lost and then he lost his mind. And then a lot of his supporters lost their minds and rioted on the Capitol.
    4
  102. Nothing patriotic about throwing an insurrection riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election. Just sayin'.
    4
  103. Trump supporter rioter: "But, but, but,.....what about Antifa?"
    4
  104. You mean many Trump supporters didn't want Joe Biden as president. Sorry, but Biden won and Trump lost. Yeah, I know. Democracy really sücks, doesn't it?
    4
  105. Yeah, Democracy really sücks, doesn't it?
    4
  106. The election was fairly counted. Trump just couldn't psychologically deal with the fact that he lost.
    4
  107. FYI, you can watch the Trump supporter rioters beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them while the video is muted, too.
    4
  108.  @maurietolley9702  Maurie, sometimes you just have to learn when the argument is not going in your direction and it's wiser to just concede a point.
    4
  109. Yeah, thanks for reminding us about the American flags. Trump supporter rioters were kicking police officers and beating them with flagpoles with American flags on them. Thanks for reminding us all of that.
    4
  110. Trump lost. Get over it.
    4
  111. Yeah, lots of Americans cared about rioting in cities. That "Democrats never cared about rioting" line is a lie fed to you by Fox News and other right-wing outlets in an attempt to try to justify or downplay the Capitol Riot.
    4
  112. Your comment reminds me of Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal and her essay predicting a Romney win over Obama because Romney has so many more "yard signs" than Obama. You should read it.
    4
  113. Tell the Federal judge that when you see him in court for your role in the Capitol Riot. Let us know how it works out for you.
    4
  114. Your attempt at deflecting away from the criminal actions of Trump and his rioting supporters is really, really obvious and transparent.
    4
  115. Ashli Babbitt was a rioter and was shot while trying to help a mob of her fellow, angry, violent rioters get to members of Congress.
    4
  116. You think that the Capitol insurrection rioters didn't have weapons? Trump's rioters were armed with ax handles, baseball bats, brass knuckles, club, and hockey sticks, and they were beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them.
    4
  117. Trump's riot.
    4
  118. You seem to think that deflecting to George Floyd makes what Trump and Trump supporter rioters did at the Capitol OK.
    4
  119. The right wing has gone crazy with hate and with paranoid conspiracy fantasies.
    4
  120. Nope. Trump and Trump supporters tried to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election at the Capitol on 1/6/21 but they failed.
    4
  121. A Capitol police officer entrusted with defending the lives of the members of Congress from the Trump supporter rioters including Babbitt.
    4
  122. You support a guy who threw a riot on the US Capitol.
    4
  123. A lot of Trump supporters in the riot lost their jobs and destroyed their family relationships as a result and are now facing serious Federal criminal charges. But on the bright side, Trump walked away scot-free and is now enjoying a luxurious life at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
    4
  124. Virtually all of the +700 people arrested for the Capitol riot are confirmed Trump supporters.
    4
  125. It's pretty sad that the once respected "Law and Order" Republican Party has now turned into the "But-at-least-we're-not-as-bad-as-Antifa!" Party, isn't it?
    4
  126. Trump used the word "peacefully" only once in his long speech. He used the words "fight" or "fighting" twenty times in that same speech.
    4
  127.  @bobuxman69  "1 billion dollars in damage/looting to innocent businesses. 1.5 million dollars in damage to a goverment building" I'm sorry but I don't see what price you put on an attempt to overturn a certified US presidential election and destroy over 200 years of American Democracy. How many dollars did you place on the price for doing that?
    4
  128. 🙄
    4
  129. Why is it that so many of these Trump supporter rioters are revealed to have criminal records and histories of mental problems?
    4
  130. Trump lost. Bigly.
    4
  131. Time for your medications, Becky.
    4
  132. No, they tried to steal an election but they failed and over 700 of them have been arrested.
    4
  133.  @shaner0328  You can't convince me because you don't have any real evidence. All you Trump supporters seem to say is that you can't believe that 81 million people voted for someone as "senile and mentally challenged" as Joe Biden. Well, I and a lot of other people can't believe that 74 million people voted for someone who is as stupid, immature, and incompetent as Donald Trump, so there.
    4
  134. How can you support Trump when he's the one who whipped up rage in his supporters about a "stolen election", and told them that if they didn't fight for him that they "wouldn't have a country anymore", and then told them to march on the Capitol? How can you possibly excuse such recklessness and stupidity?
    4
  135. This was a Trump riot.
    4
  136. By the time 2024 comes around Trump's brain will be so far gone that he will be chasing chipmunks around and around in circles in Melania's flower garden while wearing nothing but her underwear.
    4
  137. Yup he encouraged Trump supporters to march to the Capitol - just like Donald Trump did.
    4
  138. Not the ones who participated in an insurrection riot on the US Capitol.
    4
  139.  @arthurfoyt6727  Babbit was a rioter who was shot while trying to lead a mob of her fellow angry, violent rioters to members of Congress who were sheltering in fear of their lives from the rioters. And don't try to tell me that a mob of angry "unarmed" rioters is not dangerous and has never killed or maimed anyone. I would like to see how quickly you change your mind about that if a mob of "unarmed" angry Antifa rioters were to show up on your house's doorstep some night.
    4
  140. Trump supporters rioted on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election. Deal with it.
    4
  141.  @SparkWah  Biden defeated Trump twice in the nationally televised Presidential debates watched by millions. That's why you Trump supporters never mention the debates when you try to claim that Biden is "mentally absent". Trump tried claiming over and over again that Biden was mentally feeble and then what happened to Trump in the first debate? Biden defeated him! Trump must have felt humiliated. Trump lost the debates and the election. Deal with it.
    4
  142. Apparently you didn't watch this video.
    4
  143. There were also rioters who were beating police officers with flagpoles with "Blue Lives Matter" flags on them.
    4
  144.  @albono2359  You do know that those extremists who have been arrested and jailed for the Capitol Riot are being called "political prisoners" by some prominent Republicans such as Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, don't you? Seems that some on the right do support the Capitol rioters.
    4
  145.  @HieuHoang-lr2pg  Babbitt was a rioter and was a member of a mob of rioters and she was trying to enter a secure area where members of Congress were sheltering from the rioters. You would know this if you had watched the video investigation. Why are you commenting on a video investigation that you obviously didn't even watch?
    4
  146. You think that anything that Antifa rioters did justifies or excuses Trump supporters rioters for rioting on the US Capitol?
    4
  147. An FYI for the Trump supporters here concerning the shooting of Ashli Babbitt: If you watch this video investigation, you'll see several times when plainclothes Capitol police officers pull out their guns and aim directly at the protestors (see 2:42 minutes and 26:50 minutes). So, yes, even though the rioters breached the Capitol, there were still some "Red Lines" which the Capitol police were serious about enforcing in order to protect the lives of the members of Congress from the rioters. Unfortunately for Ashli Babbitt, she apparently didn't realize that the officer with the gun was dead serious about guarding the corridor when she crossed a "Red Line" and tried to bypass a barricaded door by going through a broken window.
    4
  148. It's called "treason" and "insurrection".
    3
  149. Maybe Trump should have called up Nancy and told her that he had just enraged an angry mob of his supporters and told them to march on the Capitol?
    3
  150. If there were no doubt about it then you Trump supporters would have been able to produce some actual proof by now.
    3
  151. Eleven Trump supporter rioters have been charged with seditious conspiracy.
    3
  152. Yeah, people actually believe in Trump's nonsense lie of a "stolen election". Trump isn't man enough or mature enough to admit that he lost.
    3
  153. And these were the same people who were claiming that Democrats were the ones who were going to have an epic melt-down if their candidate lost. 🙄
    3
  154. The "unarmed woman" was a rioter. Go ahead, you can say the word: "Rioter".
    3
  155.  @jaybailleaux630  Don Jr did in fact meet with Russian officials in a Trump Tower meeting during the 2016 election in order to try to get dirt on Hillary from them (and not for the purpose of discussing "Russian adoptions" as he initially lied.) That was attempted collusion right there.
    3
  156. Trump lost. Get over it. A lot of you Trump supporters are even bigger whiners than you claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost.
    3
  157. Trump lost the election and then he lost his mind.
    3
  158.  @DUCKWALK_74  No, you ducked my question. And, yes, it is a movie by Dinesh D'Souza who is a convicted felon and spent time in Federal prison for election fraud. Now as for the issue of "ballot harvesting", that's the gathering of mail-in ballots and absentee ballots by other people who are assisting the mail-in or absentee voters, and that's perfectly legal in many states. There is nothing inherently shady or corrupt about the practice. Even staff at a nursing home might be acting as "ballot harvesters" if they help gather the residents signed and sealed voting ballots to deliver to the facility's mail room. If you and enough others think that such practices should not be allowed, I'm fine with that but don't try to imply that "ballot harvesting" is currently illegal when it's not.

  161.  @BIRD09524  "what you mean you right wing I wasn’t there and those right wingers barely did anything." What do you mean "left-wingers"? I wasn't at those Antifa or BLM riots. As for the right-wing insurrectionist rioters "barely doing anything", didn't you watch this video investigation?

  162. Trump (on 1/6/21): "You don't concede if there's THEFT involved! It just doesn't happen!......You FIGHT! And if you don't FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!" I guess that you left that part out of your comment, You're welcome.

  169. Here's Donald Trump on 1/6/21 telling his supporters to be "peaceful": Trump (on 1/6/21): "You don't concede when there's theft involved! It just doesn't happen!.......You fight! And if you don't fight, you won't have a country anymore!!!"

  171. "Even Fox News Analysts Say Trump Should Face Criminal Charges As Channel Starts Airing Jan 6 Hearings", The Independent (UK), 6/22/22.
    3
  172. The FBI said that there was no evidence of a large-scale, coordinated attack on the Capitol. They didn't say that there wasn't any pre-planning or coordination at all. Obviously, if you watched the video, there was some coordination within smaller sized groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.
    3
  173. Babbitt died in the act of committing crimes. If she had survived, she would be facing multiple criminal charges right now, just like her fellow rioters.
    3
  174. No comment on all the actual video clips taken by Trump supporter rioters showing themselves and others violently rioting?
    3
  175. Trump used the word "peaceful" only once in his over hour-long speech. He used the word "fight" or "fighting" twenty times during that same speech.

  176. You Trump supporters are even bigger whiners that you all claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost. Trump lost. Deal with it. Try acting like a man for once in your life.

  177.  @XgiannettoX  Uhhhh.....I don't think that George Floyd rioted on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.

  178.  @oogalaboogala8408  "if blm protest did the insurrection it’d probably be seen as a good thing..." Well, we'll never know because BLM didn't do an insurrection riot on the US Capitol. Trump supporter rioters trying to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election did.

  179. Trump (on 1/6/21): "You don't concede when there's theft involved! It just doesn't happen!.......You fight! And if you don't fight, you won't have a country anymore!!!"
    3
  180. There was no large scale voter fraud. This happened because a current ex-President wasn't mature enough and man enough to admit that he lost an election.
    3
  181. Trump never offered to call in the National Guard for Pelosi. That was just another one of his lies. I'll bet that you also still think that he's a super-genius because he told you that he was.

  186. These were Trump supporters trying to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election by rioting on the US Capitol.

  187. Trump supporters are even bigger whiners about their guy losing the election than they claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost. Hilarious.

  195.  @constitutionalconservative2689  What do you and other Trump supporters know about the US Constitution? You all support an ex-President who was claiming that the US Constitution says that his own Vice President effectively had the power to choose the next President.
    3
  196.  @constitutionalconservative2689  You're funny. You call yourself "Constitutional Conservative" but yet you don't even know enough about the US Constitution to know that it doesn't say that a President's own Vice President has the power to choose the next President? You don't know squat about the US Constitution and you support an ex-President who was trying to destroy it.

  197. "This video just doesn't have the same kick since the footagof the cops letting the protestors inside was released." Was that before or after the Trump supporter rioters were beating police officers with clubs, hockey sticks, and flagpoles with American flags on them?

  201. I wish that you could have been with them and now be sitting in Federal prison, too!
    3
  202. Why didn't Trump tell Nancy that he had just enraged an angry mob of his supporters and told them to march on the US Capitol? Why did Trump pull a "disappearing act" for over 5 hours while an historic riot was raging at the Capitol just a few blocks from the White House?
    3
  203. Does the new video footage prove that the Trump rioters shown rioting did not really riot? How did it do that?
    3
  204. Here's a question that you should be asking: Why did the President of the United States pull a "disappearing act" for over 3 hours while an historic riot was raging just a few blocks from the White House? Where was the leader of our nation at the moment that our nation most needed a leader?

  208. Nothing that the Antifa/BLM rioters did is going to make the Trump supporter insurrectionist rioters look any better or justify their actions.

  209. According the the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the NYT pronunciation is correct.

  210. Ray Epps is a Trump supporter who was encouraging other Trump supporters to march to the Capitol on 1/6/21 - which was basically the same thing that Donald Trump also did.
    3
  211.  @herbwhite7384  Don Jr met with Russian officials in Trump Tower during the 2016 election campaign in order to get dirt on Hillary from them (and not to discuss "Russian adoptions" as he initially lied). That's attempted collusion right there. And Don Jr knew what he was doing was wrong (hence, his initial lie about "Russian adoptions"). In addition, several Trump associates (e.g., Sessions, Flynn, Kushner) lied about or omitted mentioning multiple Russian contacts and meetings on their SF-86 top-secret clearance security questionnaire forms. So don't try claiming that there was no reason to investigate possible Russian ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
    3
  212. Trump (on 1/6/21): "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! YOU FIGHT!.....AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!". FYI, Trump only used the word "peacefully" ONCE in his speech to his supporter/rioters on 1/6/21. He used the word "fight" or "fighting" 19 times in that same speech.

  213. Ashli Babbitt's epitaph: "SHE GAVE HER LIFE NOT TO SAVE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, BUT TO TRY TO DESTROY IT."

  215. It's you were really a police officer for 25 years, then you would know that one can't simply enter the Capitol building and wander down the halls because it's the "people's house".
    3
  216. Yeah, except for the parts where the rioters were smashing windows and bashing doors and assaulting police officers with hockey sticks, clubs, ax handles, and flagpoles with American flags on them....
    3
  217. The Capitol riot of 1/6/21 and the attempt by Trump and Trump supporters to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election by rioting on the Capitol is going down in US history. Deal with it.
    3
  218. Wow. A massive insurrection riot by the "Law and Order" Party. What ever happened to the "Law and Order" Party? Oh, yeah, that's right: Trump happened.
    3
  219. Wait. Did you write that no one was arrested in the riots attended by Antifa? What color is the sky in your world?
    3
  220. Yup, those rioters are Trump supporters. You just have problems dealing with truth and reality.
    3
  221. Here's what I would say IF today were "OPPOSITE DAY": "My, those Trump supporter rioters look like highly intelligent, mentally well balanced individuals! And from the looks of them, I'll bet that they have excellent personal hygiene habits, too!".
    3
  222. Looking forward to seeing your FBI mugshot.
    3
  223. It's interesting how many of the arrested Trump supporter rioters have been found to have self-admitted mental problems and previous criminal records.
    3
  224. In case you haven't heard the news, 11 Trump supporter rioters have been charged with "seditious conspiracy", which has an even longer maximum sentence than "insurrection".
    3
  225. Babbitt was a rioter and was shot while trying to lead a mob of her fellow angry violent rioters to members of Congress who were sheltering in fear of the rioters. And don't try to tell us that an angry, violent mob of "unarmed" rioters never killed or maimed anyone.
    3
  226. No, Trump never requested the National Guard for the Capitol. You're just believing in and repeating another one of Trump's lies. "Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6", USA Today.

    3
  229. Rioting on the US Capitol has consequences.
    3
  230. Some of the people may have been legitimate protestors, but all those people you see in the video clips of this investigation who are battling police officers and threatening them and breaking windows and bashing doors and attempting to break into officers, etc., etc., are all rioters. Sorry.

  231. Trump lost the election and then he lost his mind.

  232. White lady insurrectionist rioter.

  233. I can't believe that Trump got as many as 74 million votes. I mean, come on, this was a guy who was babbling about injecting people with disinfectants.
    3
  234.  @aaronbanning3372  I don't think that you even carefully watched the Newsmax YouTube video clip that you yourself presented. Go back and watch it again. The Newsmax presentation showed a segment of a memo which stated that a certain Lt.General expressed the opinion that uniformed troops at the Capitol could inflame the situation. That's it! The memo says NOTHING about Trump and NOTHING about whether he offered National Guard troops or not. All the memo shows is military officers discussing the pros and cons of having uniformed troops at the Capitol. No mention of Trump at all, and no mention of any decision making by Trump on the matter.
    3
  235. Trump wasn't "blacked out" by the media. He had not yet been banned by Twitter, so he was free to tweet and his rioting supporters were monitoring his tweets as they rioted. Trump wanted the riot to continue so he could see how it would "play out".: "Trump did not want to tweet ‘stay peaceful’ during 6 January riot, key former aide says", The Independent, 1/7/22. "Aide says Donald Trump did not want to tweet the words ‘stay peaceful’ and was ‘letting it play out’."

  251.  @shaner0328  No, there has been no proof nor even any real evidence of any sort of "election theft". All there is is a lot of whining and sky-screaming by Trump and you Trump supporters who seem to think if you whine and sky-scream often enough then everyone will believe your lies.
    3
  252.  @shaner0328  Don't worry. I don''t feel an urge to declare that an election was "stolen" and to riot on the US Capitol when my preferred candidate doesn't win.

  253. Looking forward to seeing your FBI mugshot.

  254. Trump lost. He just couldn't deal with the humiliation of losing to Obama's former second-in-command.

  255. Was that before or after the Trump supporter rioters at the Capitol were smashing windows, bashing doors, and beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them?

  256. "Well, we now know the Day of Rage was actually a Day of politely asking to be led to the main chamber of the Capital Building, with the police happily obliging." Hmmm. Was that before or after the Trump supporters rioters were smashing windows, bashing doors, screaming for the hanging of the Vice President, and beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them? 🤔
    3
  257.  @ThePopeII  "All 6 people who died on Jan 6 were killed either directly or indirectly by the Capital Police." No. And you completely overlook the fact that there would never even have been a riot on the US Capitol if not for Trump - who refused to admit that he lost the election - and his Trump supporter rioters.
    3
  258. Five more Trump supporters have been charged with seditious conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in Federal prison. That brings to 16 the total number of Trump supporter rioters charged with seditious conspiracy.
    3
  259. Because even Trump supporter rioters aren't stupid enough to bring loaded guns into the US Capitol during a riot. Any Trump supporter rioter bringing a gun into the Capitol during the riot would be looking at spending the rest of his life in ADX SuperMax.
    3
  260.  @arthurfoyt6727  "WOW, after the police led people into the building..." Oh? Really? Was that before or after Trump supporter rioters were smashing windows and bashing doors and beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them?

  261. Trump supporter rioter in front of a Federal judge in Federal court: "But, but, but,......what about Antifa?".

  263. What are you talking about? Lots of rioters are being charged with serious crimes, particularly the ones who were assaulting police officers at the Capitol.
    3
  264.  @SparkWah  "also it’s funny how u are certain why people rioted?? How do u know the mindset of the people there that day?" - Because they themselves stated their mindset many times throughout the video. Why are you commenting on a video that you didn't even watch?

  270. Why didn't Trump alert Pelosi and tell her that he had just enraged an angry mob of his supporters and sent them in her direction at the Capitol. Why did Trump, the President of the United States, pull a "disappearing act" for over 5 hours while an historic riot was occurring at the nation's Capitol just a few blocks from the White House?

    3
  278.  @markl8893  "Yes i think they both did their crimes so my point is just cuz theres no proof the election was stolen, its OBVIOUS that is happened." I think that your logic is flawed. We may agree that OJ is most likely guilty, but we don't both agree that the election was "stolen". In fact, most Americans don't think that the election was stolen including many members of Trump's own Cabinet such as AG Bill Barr. That's why you people need to show proof that the election was "stolen". Better hurry up. It's already been over 2 years since the 2020 election.

  281.  @jonescrusher1  You seem to be doing a lot of tap-dancing to blame everyone except the one person responsible for inciting the riot - and who then pulled a "disappearing act" for over 3 hours while an historic riot was raging at the Capitol just a few blocks from his office in the White House. Why is that?

  282.  @Jeep-Life  "Just because a liberal judge blocks, or suppresses it doesn't make it any the less untrue."

Judge: “In your petition, which is right before me — and I read it several times — you don’t claim that any electors or the Board of the County were guilty of fraud, correct? That’s correct?” Trump lawyer: “Your Honor, accusing people of fraud is a pretty big step. And it is rare that I call somebody a liar, and I am not calling the Board of the DNC or anybody else involved in this a liar. Everybody is coming to this with good faith. The DNC is coming with good faith. We’re all just trying to get an election done. We think these were a mistake, but we think they are a fatal mistake, and these ballots ought not be counted.” Judge: “I understand. I am asking you a specific question, and I am looking for a specific answer. Are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these 592 disputed ballots?” Trump Lawyer: “To my knowledge at present, no." Judge: “Are you claiming that there is any undue or improper influence upon the elector with respect to these 592 ballots?" Trump Lawyer: “To my knowledge at present, no."

  283.  @Jeep-Life  " Happens everyday in American courtrooms. Prove me wrong. The J6 tapes prove the government railroads people and suppresses evidence at will." You're the one who is making wild assertions. The burden of proof is on you, not me. If you claim that the moon is made of Green Cheese, then the burden of proof is on you to prove that the moon is made of Green Cheese. The burden is not on me to prove to you that the moon is not made of Green Cheese. And Tucker Carlson's selected video clips on 1/6/21 prove nothing. Those smashed windows and bashed doors at the Capitol didn't just smash and bash themselves.

  284. The fact that they all support an ex-President who speaks, writes, and thinks at the 4th grade elementary school level is a clue.

  285. Over 700 Trump supporter rioters now arrested for their roles in the Capitol Riot and Insurrection. Good thing that Trump has their backs! Oh, wait,........
    2
  286.  @jaybailleaux630  The Capitol Riot of 1/6/21 was an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election. That's an "insurrection" in my book. It may have been a "weak", poorly executed insurrection carried out by deranged fools but that doesn't change the fact that it was an insurrection.
    2
  287. What a sick, sick, sick person. And this is the guy who Trump supporters say "loves America"???: "Trump was confused when White House staffers didn't like him rewinding Capitol riot highlights on TV", Yahoo News. • "Trump "gleefully" watched the Capitol insurrection, an ex-White House official said last month." • "But he was confused when staffers who also watched were not as excited." • ""Look at all of the people fighting for me," Trump said at the time, according to Grisham."

  289. Why do you think that it's impossible that both candidates got more votes than any presidential candidate in any previous election?

  290. How could the mayor, FBI, and intelligence agencies have known that the President of the US was going to encourage his supporters to riot on the US Capitol on 1/6/21?
    2
  291. A Trump supporter who was urging other Trump supporters to march on the Capitol. You know, like Donald Trump himself did.
    2
  292.  @NinthDensity Yeah, it feels strange for me to be speaking up for Epps, who is a Trump supporter. It's even stranger to see you other Trump supporters turning on one of your own. But, whatever. Thanks for not answering my question.
    2

    2
  298. Well, unless you have proof for that extraordinary claim, you're just a sky-screamer because your guy lost.
    2
  299. At least the Jan 6 rioters "had a cause"? Yeah, their "cause" was to try to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election and to try to destroy over 200 years of American Democracy with an insurrection riot on the US Capitol.

  300.  @dannyb3976  No, Fox News has called the Capitol Riot an insurrection in its news articles on its website, and they did not use "air quotes". And, yes, you're only making yourself look like more and more of a fool.
    2
  301.  @dannyb3976  Uhhhhh.....You think that the terms "riot" and "insurrection" are mutually exclusive? And, yes, the Capitol Riot was an insurrection. Consult your dictionary if you're still confused.
    2
  302.  @dannyb3976  Imagine then what I think of the intelligence level of someone who seems to think that the terms "riot" and "insurrection" are mutually exclusive.
    2
  303. A Constitutional Republic is a type of democracy.
    2
  304.  @dadaeverydays3968  Yes, the US is a democracy. You should have paid more attention to your civics class textbooks than to right-wing pundits who don't know what they're talking about.
    2
  305.  @dadaeverydays3968  A Constitutional Republic IS a form of Democracy. So the US is BOTH a Constitutional Republic AND a Democracy. You know, just like a cat is both a mammal AND an animal.

  306. Ashli Babbitt was a rioter and was trying to lead a mob of angry, violent rioters past a locked and barricaded door to members of Congress who were sheltering in fear of their lives from the rioters. As for Babbitt and the rioters being "unarmed", don't try to tell me that a mob of angry, violent, "unarmed" rioters never killed or maimed anyone.
    2
  307. Looking forward to seeing your FBI mugshot. I'll bet that you won't be smiling.
    2
  308. Hypocrisy is Republicans thinking that they're the party of "Law and Order" while they're participating, justifying, or trying to downplay an insurrection riot like this one - like you just did, for example.
    2
  309. A riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election is a "nothing-burger"?
    2
  310. Trump supporters were beating police with flagpoles with "Blue Lives Matter" flags on them. Oh, the irony.
    2
  311. 'Whataboutisms' to try to downplay a riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to steal a certified US Presidential election are pathetic.
    2
  312. OK, I'll bite. Precisely what do you think that Ray Epps should be charged with?
    2
  313. 1000 gloster canaries

  314. "..... I’d rather destroy government property then private" You tell that to the Federal judge in Federal Court when you see him on Monday morning.
    2
  315. "Imagine If they legitimately planned a inserection and brought firearms." OK, I'm imagining a lot of Trump supporters spending the rest of their lives in ADX SuperMax......
    2
  316. 😄

  317. ...in the Republican Party.
    2
  318. You totally QUOOKY!
    2
  319. ​ @2233-q2y  How do you know that the ones trying to break windows weren't the Trump supporters and the ones trying to stop them were the imposters?
    2
  320.  @2233-q2y  "Because they were peaceful and they didn't engage in violence." Uh, huh. 🙄🙄🙄
    2
  321. You're Quooky.
    2
  322. Trump telling his supporters to be "peaceful"?: Trump (on 1/6/21): "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!......YOU FIGHT! AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!" Oh, and why did Trump pull a "Disappearing Act" for over 5 hours while an historic riot was raging at the US Capitol just a few blocks from the White House? Where the heck was the President of the US during those 5 critical hours?
    2
  323. You think that showing a piece on Antifa rioters is going to somehow make Trump supporter rioters look any better?
    2
  324. Since there was no election fraud, how could there be a valid video investigation on election fraud?
    2
  325. Actually, I think that trying to overturn and steal a certified US presidential election by rioting on the US Capitol is worse. If Trump and his rioting supporters had succeeded, it would have meant an end to Democracy in America.
    2
  326. Trump has a talent for inducing other people to get into trouble for him.
    2
  327. Trump only used the word "peacefully" once in his speech on 1/6/21. He used the words "fight" or "fighting" nineteen times. Why do you cut out the nineteen times that Trump said "fight" or "fighting"?
    2
  328. None of your "whataboutisms" change the fact that many Trump supporters (with Donald Trump's encouragement) rioted on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.
    2
  329.  @nunyabusiness8538  No.
    2
  330. Really? The list gets longer. So now this was an FBI, Antifa, CIA, Democrat, and Chinese plot to frame Trump?
    2
  331. Ashli Babbitt was a rioter who was trying to help a mob of her fellow angry, violent rioters get at members of Congress.
    2
  332. Trump lost. Deal with it. You Trump supporters are even bigger whiners than you claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost the election. Pathetic.
    2
  333.  @brianamerica  "If you watch the last 5 mins of his speech that day you will see he told them to go peacefully to the capital." Trump (on 1/6/21): "YOU DON'T CONCEDE IF THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!......YOU FIGHT! AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!". Also, fyi, Trump said the word "peaceful" just once in his long speech on 1/6/21. He used the words "fight" or "fighting" 19 times in that same speech. Yeah, you were cherry-picking the only time he said a sentence with the word "peaceful" in it while ignoring the 19 times he said "fight" or "fighting".
    2
  334.  @brianamerica  Stop deflecting. If Maxine Waters or anyone else made inflammatory comments like Trump did that incited rioters, then I condemn them, too. Seems like you're the one who excuses politicians' actions based on their political party, not me. As for bailing out accused people who later committed violence, you're barking up the wrong tree. You should really be focussing your criticism on the judge who allowed bail to be set for those people rather than on anyone who paid the bail set by the judge.
    2
  335. Do you have any solid evidence or proof that Ray Epps was working with the Feds concerning the Capitol Riot?
    2
  336. ...Attacking lawmakers and trying to destroy over 200 years of American Democracy by attempting to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election with a riot on the US Capitol.
    2
  337. Why aren't you complaining to Fox News about that? The NYT already spent a lot of resources to do a 6-month investigation on the Capitol riot.
    2
  338. They're a news organization just like the NYT. Why can't they? It's too difficult for the people at Fox News to do something similar to what the people at the NYT did? The people at Fox News aren't smart enough to figure out how to make a video documentary?
    2
  339. There were at least four shouts by the rioters saying that the police officer had pulled out a gun before Ashli Babbitt tried to crawl through the broken window. Seems that she was gambling that the police officer wasn't serious about guarding the corridor against a breach.
    2
  340. Trump lost the election. Deal with it.
    2
  341. Congratulations, you Trump supporter rioters behave like Antifa/BLM rioters - except that you people rioted on the US Capitol in an attempt to steal a certified US Presidential election and destroy over 200 years of American democracy.
    2
  342.  @1999glock  There are no "open borders" and inflation is not "off the charts" and crime is not "off the charts". You're getting hysterical. Try calming down. There is an inflation spike now because the economies of nations all over the world are heating up as they come out of COVID lockdowns and there are supply/demand problems because of that. Those problems would still exist even if Trump were president now because there's not a thing that he could do about it. The only difference would be that Trump would be saying that it wasn't his fault over and over and over again. Finally, as for Trump, if he had succeeded in stealing a certified US Presidential election on 1/6/21 as he tried to, we would be in a Civil War right now.
    2
  343.  @1999glock  The issue with Trump is not one of personality but of "CHARACTER". You remember "character", right? It's a quality in a man that you conservatives used to highly value and respect a long, long, long time ago. I would have thought that you were old enough to remember those times. It's so sad that you've forgotten about the importance of a man's character - or that you've confused "character" with "personality". The only last thing I'll say to you is that "there is no greater fool than an old fool." Shame on you for arriving at your stage in life and forgetting the basics about what makes a man a man.
    2
  344. You Trump supporters don't speak for America.
    2
  345.  @TomTKK  You seriously need me to look that information up for you?
    2
  346. Trump lost, Bigly. He's still whining about it, though.
    2
  347.  @seandoherty2947  "Whataboutism" is a lame defense for rioting on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.
    2
  348. Ray Epps is a Trump supporter who was encouraging Trump supporters to march to the Capitol - which is the same thing that Trump did on 1/6/21.
    2
  349. Trump is the ring leader. He was the one urging his rioters to march on the Capitol.
    2
  350. You're trying to claim that all of the video footage shown is fake?
    2
  351. He should try telling that to the judge.
    2
  352. I saw a video clip of Trump supporter Ray Epps encouraging and directing other Trump supporters to march to the Capitol, but that's not illegal right? In fact, Trump also encouraged people to march to the Capitol.
    2
  353. Interesting how many of the arrested Trump supporter rioters have self-admitted mental problems.
    2
  354. FBI? I thought that they were Antifa? Was Ashli Babbitt FBI or Antifa? Also, why was Trump saying "We love you. You're very special." to a mob of Antifa or FBI???
    2
  355.  Bartholomew  You're confused. No one said that Trump or these Trump supporter insurrectionists were smart.
    2
  356. Trump is the reason for the treason.
    2
  357. Was that before or after the rioters were smashing windows, bashing doors, and beating police officers? 🤔
    2
  358.  @abnnuzzinicholasclay686  "arrest for ??" Over 1000 Trump supporter rioters have now been arrested for various charges including assault, vandalism, and interfering an official Federal proceeding (which you should know is a felony). In addition, 11 Trump supporter Oath Keepers have been tried AND convicted for Seditious Conspiracy: "18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy" "If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."
    2
  359.  @abnnuzzinicholasclay686  "so minor crimes arrest . Got it" Assault is not a minor crime.
    2
  360.  @abnnuzzinicholasclay686  "we talking about Jan 6 what felonies?" "Nearly all the accused rioters were charged with disorderly and disruptive conduct. Most also were charged with entering and/or remaining in a restricted building or grounds. More than a quarter, 284, have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, Garland's office said. Of those, 99 were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer. Among the charges are at least: 315 counts of violent entry and disorderly conduct. 222 counts of civil disorder or interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder. 95 counts of conspiracy. 17 counts of seditious conspiracy" - USA Today.
    2
  361.  @abnnuzzinicholasclay686  "you do know USA today has been known to lie retract and even been sued for lying right?" You're deflecting. This isn't about USA Today. You can find the exact same information about how many Trump supporter rioters were arrested for various charges from a wide number of news websites because it's all public knowledge.
    2
  362. If only Trump had done the mature, proper thing to do after losing the election as all other presidents have done. But, no, the man-child could not admit that he lost and what followed from that has now gone down as a dark day in US history.
    2
  363. The "feeding the same ballots" claim has been debunked many times.
    2
  364. The count of people charged with crimes for the Capitol insurrection riot is now up to 861.

  365. "Republican party calls January 6 attack ‘legitimate political discourse’", The Guardian. Republicans! This week only! Get your All-American "Legitimate Political Discourse" Kit at a special price of only $145!!! Included: One baseball bat, one ax handle, two brass knuckles, one club, one hockey stick, and a BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN FLAG mounted on a rigid, high-strength aluminum flagpole guaranteed to not bend, crumple, or break while you're using it to engage in 'legitimate political discourse' against police officers and Democrats!
    2
  366. What is there to investigate? Your kooky right-wing conspiracy theory? No thanks. Why aren't you asking Fox News to investigate Ray Epps? Why aren't you asking Tucker Carlson to investigate Ray Epps? (P.S.: They won't because they know that they will get their pants sued off by him if they broadcast falsehoods about him.)
    2
  367. Don Jr. admitted that he met with Russian officials at Trump Tower during the 2016 election in order to get dirt on Hillary from them (and not to discuss "Russian adoptions" as he initially lied). That's attempted collusion right there. As for Russians and the Trump administration, several Trump associates (Kushner, Flynn, Sessions) lied about and/or omitted disclosing the number and extent of their Russian contacts on the SF-86 Security Clearance Questionnaire forms, so please excuse me and many others for being suspicious about the nature of the relationships between so many Trump officials and Russians.
    2
  368.  @jejunamja  "Trump was no way a perfect president but at least he had a brain..." No. Trump was the most stupid President in the history of the United States of America. It wasn't even close.
    2
  369. You didn't watch the video. Yes. the rioters had weapons. They had ax handles, clubs, baseball bats, brass knuckles, hockey sticks, and they were beating police officers with flagpoles with American flags on them. If you mean that they didn't bring loaded guns into the US Capitol during a riot, yeah they were smart enough not to do that. I'll leave it to you to think and figure out what kind of sentence a Federal judge would have given to any rioter bringing loaded guns into the US Capitol.
    2
  370.  @iminoccacitizen7861  I already thought about it. Did you? Any rioter entering the Capitol building during an insurrection riot with a loaded gun would be looking at spending the rest of his life in ADX SuperMax. None of the Capitol rioters were stupid enough to risk that.
    2
  371. Guess that no one thought that a US President would actually be so irresponsible and stupid as to incite a riot on the US Capitol.
    2
  372. What happened at the Capitol on 1/6/21 wasn't just a protest. It was an insurrection riot.
    2
  373. They're called "Trump supporters".
    2
  374. I don't see anything.
    2
  375. That's PRESIDENT Brandon to you! 😃
    2
  376. Any rioter caught bringing a loaded gun into the US Capitol during an insurrection riot would be looking at spending the rest of his or her life in ADX SuperMax. Did that not occur to you?
    2
  377. You didn't even watch this video investigation, did you?
    2
  378.  @brianchoo298  You didn't watch the video investigation. Go watch it. It's pretty apparent why the police officer was guarding the corridor and why it was being treated as a "Red Line" by the Capitol police.
    2
  379. "... was "breached" by a punch of overweight middle aged yahoos...." They're called "Trump supporters".
    2
  380. In watching this video, I'm not getting the impression that Trump supporters represent our nation's brightest and best.
    2
  381. Are you old enough to remember that on 1/6/21 that Trump and Trump supporter rioters were trying to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election with a riot on the US Capitol?
    2
  382.  @kyleblandon2250  No, I got your "point". You were trying to deflect to another topic which has little similarity to the Capitol Riot. I, in turn, was reminding you that the Capitol Riot and insurrection was a unique historic event in US history.
    2
  383.  @kyleblandon2250  Rioter Ashli Babbitt's epitaph: "She Gave Her Life Not to Defend American Democracy, But To Try To Destroy It."
    2
  384. What about the North Korean ships that were delivering fake ballots to ports in Maine? What about the fraud detected by the "US military intelligence expert" who actually turned out to be a guy who flunked out of basic computer training and spent his years in the US Army as a truck mechanic? What about the Italian satellites that were somehow reprogramming the Dominion machines? There is no end to the loony conspiracy theories of you Trump supporters.
    2
  385. Trump: (to his supporters on 1/6/21) "And we're going to the Capitol...." Translation: "You all are going to the Capitol. I'm going to go to my office and watch you rioting and committing Federal crimes on TV for the next 3 hours."
    2
  386. Biden won. Trump lost. Deal with it.
    2
  387.  @renaudli5834  🙄
    2
  388. Trump said the word "peacefully" only once in his long speech on 1/6/21. He said the word "fight" or "fighting" twenty times in that same speech.
    2
  389. Trump lost. Deal with it.
    2
  390. "Explain to me how this was any different or worse than...." The Capitol Riot was an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election, an act which, if successful, would have meant the end of over 200 years of American Democracy. You're welcome.
    2
  391.  @meephead6636  You're hilarious. In your post you claim that the other side is deflecting at the same time that you're throwing out deflections. That's right. That's right, you were deflecting like crazy. When you come here and post on a video about the Capitol Riot by trying to bring up healthcare, COVID, inflation, Afghanistan, Biden, and even other riots, then guess what? YOU'RE DEFLECTING. And your fantasy claims about how many democrats you imagine would have rioted if Trump had won are just that: Your Imagined Fantasy. Let's get back to reality, OK?: The only voters who lost their minds and went on an insurrection riot because their guy lost an election are Trump supporters: FACT.
    2
  392. You didn't watch the video investigation, did you?
    2
  393. "Now, I wonder why they never showed any videos of antifa dressing up like Trump supporters." Ummmm........because what you're describing never happened?
    2
  394. How's it going with your search for Obama's 'Kenyan birth certificate'?
    2
  395. Pelosi is responsible for Trump inciting a riot on the US Capitol??? What, is she his babysitter?
    2
  396. Yeah, the NYT did cover BLM/Antifa riots. I have a subscription to the NYT so I would know. Your feeble attempt at deflection as well as your blatant lie about the NYT is duly noted.
    2
  397. That's PRESIDENT Brandon to you! 😃
    2
  398. Ashli Babbitt was a rioter and a member of a mob of angry, violent rioters who were trying to get at members of Congress.
    2
  399. Trump lost, and you Trump supporters are even bigger whiners and sky-screamers than you claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost.
    2
  400. "So.... who benefitted from all this? Conservatives? Nope. Trump? Nope." All you showed is that Trump and his Trump supporter rioters are fools and idîots - which, actually, we already knew. 😃
    2
  401.  @hankchinaski_  Not at all. You were trying to argue that since since the Capitol Riot didn't benefit Trump or conservatives that they couldn't have been responsible for the riot. That's faulty logic on your part. You assumed that neither Trump nor the conservatives involved in the riot were foolish or stupid enough to act in a way against their own self-interest. You made a flawed assumption.
    2
  402.  @hankchinaski_  No, you were doing more than just asking a simple question of "Who benefitted?". You were trying to use that to insinuate that neither Trump nor the Trump supporters at DC were responsible for the Capitol Riot because it did not benefit their cause.
    2
  403. "Funny how you guys say this was an insurrection when it was a false flag set up by democrats, fbi, etc" 🙄
    2
  404. Maybe Trump should have called up Nancy or someone else at the Capitol and told them that he had just enraged an angry mob of his supporters and directed them to march on the Capitol?
    2
  405. So throwing a riot on the US Capitol was Trump's idea of "Making America Great Again"?
    2
  406. Actually, I'm against all rioters regardless of their political stripes. Too bad you can't say the same.
    2
  407. I saw the video clips of Ray Epps. He was urging people to go to the Capitol, but he didn't tell them to "storm" it, so you're lying there. As for firearms, even the Trump supporter rioters weren't stupid enough to bring loaded firearms into the US Capitol during a riot and insurrection. Anyone bringing a loaded firearm into the US Capitol during a riot and insurrection would be looking at spending the rest of their life in ADX SuperMax.
    2
  408. Trump lost. Deal with it. You Trump supporters are even bigger whiners than you claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost.
    2
  409. The Cyber Ninjas audit confirmed that Biden won Arizona.
    2
  410. Gee, I thought that Trump supporters were complaining that nobody including court judges wants to look at their evidence. So then WHY are they now refusing to show the evidence?: "Georgia sues True the Vote group over refusal to produce evidence of '2000 Mules' claims", Fox 5 Atlanta. "‘2000 Mules’ but No Evidence", Wall Street Journal. "True the Vote stiff-arms law enforcement as it faces a defamation case."
    2
  411. You need to read news sources other than Fox News and Breitbart and Newsmax.
    2
  412. Only ones I now see losing their minds and whining and crying about losing an election are Trump supporters. Just sayin'.
    2
  413. It's because you Trump supporters are whiners and sky-screamers and can't accept the simple fact that your guy lost the election.
    2
  414. Yeah, Trump supporter rioters did just one day of dangerous rioting on the US Capitol and now they're viewed as dangerous rioters. So unfair. Cry me a river.
    2
  415. What new footage? You mean that the windows at the Capitol just smashed themselves, and that the doors at the Capitol just bashed themselves, and that police at the Capitol were just beaten by magical flagpoles and hockey sticks that flew up into the air and started attacking police officers by themselves?
    2
  416. The Republican Party before Trump: "We are the Party of Law and Order!" The Republican Party after Trump: "Hey, at least we're not as bad as Antifa!"
    2
  417. You're trying to blame the riot that Trump incited on Nancy Pelosi? What, is she his babysitter?
    2
  418. Tell Fox News to do a thorough 6-month investigation and produce a video investigation on that. You don't expect that the NYT has the resources to do multiple 6-month investigations on everything, do you?
    2
  419. The video shows the truth and you can't handle it.
    2
  420.  @gelatoruntz1191  If you think that the VP of the US effectively has the power to choose the next President, I would love to see the look on your face when VP Kamala Harris presides over the counting of the Electoral College votes in the Senate on 1/6/25.
    2
  421.  @gelatoruntz1191  What? It never occurred to you Trump supporters that any interpretation of the US Constitution concerning a Vice President's powers applies whether the VP is a Republican or a Democrat?
    2
  422. Give it up. Even Fox News calls the Capitol Riot an insurrection. Look up the word "insurrection" in a dictionary.
    2
  423.  @ThePopeII  "Here are Trump's actual tweets from Jan 6, just before he was banned...." Oh, please. Trump wrote all that "remain peaceful" stuff AFTER an historic riot that he incited had already broken out on the US Capitol. Your attempts to excuse Trump's behavior on that day are weak and pathetic.
    2
  424. You Trump supporters don't represent the "will of the people". Your candidate lost the presidential election. Deal with it.
    2
  425. Just tourists touring the Capitol while carrying ordinary "tourist stuff" - like ax handles, clubs, baseball bats, brass knuckles, and hockey sticks.
    2
  426.  @jondeth298  "he was charged with lying to congress and he has been pardoned; he is no longer a convicted felon." No, you don't understand what a pardon is and the rest of your post is equally flawed. First of all, FYI a pardon does NOT erase or expunge a conviction from a person's criminal record. What a presidential pardon does is set aside the penalty for a conviction, but the criminal conviction itself remains on the person's record. So, sorry, Dinesh D'Souza is still a convicted felon and will remain so until the day he dies. As for Hillary, I don't know what you're babbling about. As for Joe Biden and Ukraine, I don't know what you're babbling about. As for the fact that Trump had huge rallies that were much bigger than Biden's, who cares? Most Americans don't go to political rallies. I never in my life went to a political rally. I just vote, and my vote counts just as much as yours regardless of how many silly Trump rallies you've attended. If you get a kick out of spending your free time going to a rally and sitting in a cramped seat for hours while watching a guy who can't sing or dance then that's your business but it doesn't make your vote worth more than anyone else's.
    2
  427. Shouldn't you be complaining to Fox News about that?
    2
  428. It's kind of funny that Trump supporters had an even bigger meltdown over the fact that Trump lost than they all claimed that Democrats would have if Biden lost.
    2
  429. Yup, Trump gave a lesson to fascists and wannabe dictators all over the world on how to try to steal an election and destroy democracy in their countries.
    2
  430. It wasn't an "unarmed" insurrection. Didn't you see the rioters beating police officers with hockey sticks and with flagpoles with American flags on them? Didn't you see the rioters throwing fire extinguishers at police officers? The rioters also had baseball bats, clubs, brass knuckles, and ax handles that they were using as weapons. If you mean that the Trump supporter rioters didn't bring loaded guns into the Capitol, it's because even they weren't stupid enough to do that.
    2
  431.  @valleyforge1264  You need to get a dictionary and look up the word "unarmed".
    2
  432.  @valleyforge1264  Those other riots were not "insurrections". Geesh. Go consult a dictionary. And give it up about the Capitol Riot. Even Fox News calls it an insurrection.

  433.  @valleyforge1264  It's not just a "few right wing fanatics" at the Capitol who bought into Trump's lie of a "stolen election". A lot of Republicans did. All of you Republicans who bought into Trump's big lie of a "stolen election" own a share of the Capitol Riot and Insurrection, because that's what fueled it.
    2
  434.  @valleyforge1264  No, the Justice Department estimate is that about 2000 to 2500 rioters entered the Capitol. And your comparison to the overall size of the number of people who attended Trump's rally is ridiculous because obviously 250,000 people (or, actually, about 100,000 people according to govt. estimates) can't fit into the Capitol building even if they wanted to.  And I'm an independent voter and I think that ALL rioters of should be locked up regardless of their politics. Rioters who do something as despicable as to riot on the nation's Capitol while trying to overturn a certified US Presidential election deserve an even harsher punishment. Finally, it's ridiculous for you to accuse me of partisanship when you just declared that you would still support Trump, the guy who tried to steal a presidential election, returning to the White House. If Trump were to somehow return to the White House, you may just get that Civil War that you seem to be wanting - and you will regret it.

  435.  @valleyforge1264  "no Einstein, I said 250,000 were there for Trump rally." No, fella, you didn't. Check your own post. You wrote "Over 250,000 people marched on the Capitol....". That's what you wrote. Not everyone at the rally marched on the Capitol. Federal estimates are that about 10,000 people entered the Capitol grounds, and of that number 2000 to 2500 entered the Capitol building itself. Oh, and lots of people have been arrested, charged, and jailed for other riots around the country in the past few years. Of course Fox News won't tell you that.

  436. The rioters at the Capitol were trying to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election through violence and intimidation directed at members of Congress. It's called an "insurrection".

  441. ".... but you called him a racist and a bigot at every turn...." Trump said that there were "fine people" on both sides at Charlottesville when one of the sides consisted of white supremacists marching in the night with torches while screaming "Jews will not replace us!". Trump posted on Twitter a video clip of one of his own supporters shouting "white power!". Did Trump ever apologize for or explain his action or say it was all a mistake? No. So pardon the rest of us for having our doubts about how bigoted or racist Trump may be.
    2
  442.  @rooh5825  Don't bring Biden into this. This is about what Trump said, not what Biden may or may not have said about what Trump said. Trump said that there were very "fine people" on both sides when one of the sides consisted of white supremacists marching in the night with torches screaming "Jews will not replace us!". If you want to say that Trump was too stupid to realize that he was praising white supremacists or even just goofed and made a mistake, then just say so. I'm not interested in all of your tap-dancing around the subject. Also, in your long post about Trump and Charlottesville you completely ignored the other incident I mentioned about Trump posting a video clip of a white supremacist supporter, an act which, to my knowledge, Trump never apologized for.

  443.  @rooh5825  Many conservatives may not support the lunatic rioters and insurrectionists of January 6, but on the other hand many conservatives DO support the lunatic rioters and insurrectionists of January 6. There are many conservatives who are unapologetic about the Capitol Riot and even called the jailed rioters "political prisoners". In addition, many conservatives still support Trump's "stolen election" lie which led to the Capitol Riot. Anyone who supports Trump's "stolen election" lie owns a piece of the Capitol Riot that resulted from that lie.

    2
  452.  @another4778  Take a look at time 26:50. Capitol officers in the House chamber also had their guns drawn and pointed DIRECTLY at the rioters while warning them NOT to enter the House Chamber. Those officers made it clear that they were prepared to use deadly force against the rioters. Fortunately for the rioters, none of them were willing to test the determination of the police officers there. The only one who was foolish enough to test a police officer with a drawn gun on that day was Ashli Babbitt, but she wasn't the only one who could have been shot and killed by a police officer on that day.

    2
  463. Yup, because (1) the US population has significantly grown in the 12 years between the 2008 election and the 2020 election, and (2) the 2020 election had the highest voter turnout in recent history, largely thanks to Trump who motivated people to turn out to vote for him AND motivated other people to turn out to vote against him.

  472. Trump did want his supporters to somehow overturn the 2020 Presidential election so that he could be re-elected. That much is clear from his behavior and his speech on 1/6/21. Did he consciously anticipate that they would riot after his inflammatory speech? Personally, I don't think so since I don't think that Donald Trump is very smart or thinks through the consequences of his actions. But, yes, a person of normal intelligence who does think before he or she acts would have anticipated the possibility that their supporters would riot after giving an inflammatory speech like Trump gave.

  480.  @josflorida5346  OK, I googled up the name of the reporter. Apparently he said that the left "overreacted" to the Capitol riot. OK, did he say that the riot was not a riot? Did he say that it was not really an attempt at overturning the certified results of the 2020 presidential election? Bottom line is this: Did he actually say anything of real consequences?

  481.  @josflorida5346  "he also mentions his peers and admits there are straight up bad journalists in the New York times ...." Yeah, well I'll bet a lot of his peers have gripes and complaints about him, too, and maybe even say that he's a bad journalist. Is that all you have? A single journalist who says bad things about other journalists? You think that there aren't Fox News journalists who say bad things about other Fox News journalists? If so, you're wrong because I can actually think of some who have harshly criticized other Fox News journalists.

Same with all the left-of-center people that I know. I view Antifa not as a left-wing group but as an anarchist group. But that's neither here nor there. Whatever the conduct of Antifa, it doesn't excuse or minimize the conduct of the Trump supporter rioters at the Capitol, and that's what you were trying to do by saying that the Capitol riot was a "hiccup" compared to Antifa rioting. The difference between us is that I think rioters of ANY political stripe should be thrown into prison. You, on the other hand, try to pathetically excuse and minimize the actions of certain rioters because you agree with their politics.

I would like to see how quickly your feelings about "unarmed" rioters would change if a mob of angry "unarmed" Antifa rioters were to show up at your home's doorstep one night threatening the lives of you and your family. Bet you would change your mind lightning-fast about "unarmed", angry rioters. There's not a judge or jury in the country which would convict that Capitol police officer from doing what he did to prevent an "unarmed" rioter from leading other angry, violent "unarmed" towards members of Congress who were sheltering in fear of their lives from the rioters. Babbitt getting shot was Babbitt's own fault. You saw the video clip in this investigation. There were at least FOUR loud shouts by the rioters warning each other that the police officer in the corridor had drawn his gun, but Babbitt decided to go through the broken window anyway. She is to blame for her own death.

  553.  @jameschanin876  Of course there is always some in an election involving over 100 million voters. Don't be obtuse. And some of those actions of voter fraud were by Trump supporters. But the question is whether the amount of individual cases of fraud are big or numerous enough to affect the election. A relatively few individual cases of voter fraud doesn't cause our election system to fall down anymore than some people always passing bad checks causes our entire banking system to fall down.

Assuming that what you say is true about this John Sullivan activist, how would including him change the message of this video report when we saw hundreds or more violent Trump supporters smashing windows and bashing doors and assaulting officers in this video?

  576.  @michaelstark777  What facts did you give? You tried to give Trump full credit for the economy, as if the economy wouldn't have also been good if Hillary had been elected. You tried to give Trump full credit for the strength of our military, as if the US military wouldn't have also been strong if Hillary had been elected. You also tried to hilariously give Trump credit for "national pride", a ridiculous claim that I already torpedoed. You also tried to blame Biden for the high price of gasoline, ignoring the fact that gasoline prices are high because of basic supply/demand issues as economies come out of COVID and that gas prices would be high even if Trump were still president. The only thing that would be different is that Trump would be loudly saying that it wasn't his fault.
    1
  577.  @michaelstark777  "So BRANDON'S anti energy policies have nothing to do with the spike in gasoline prices?" Gasoline prices are spiking up ALL OVER THE WORLD, fella. Maybe you weren't aware of that. Or maybe now you want to try to blame Biden for high gasoline prices all over the world? Also, your attempt to cover for Trump's attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election with a riot on the Capitol by trying to divert to gasoline prices (as if lower gasoline prices would be an adequate compensation for the destruction of over 200 years of American Democracy by Trump) is laughable and pathetic.

You realize that the NYT has to prioritize which stories it does something like an expensive 6-month investigation on and that a riot on the US Capitol has higher priority and more newsworthiness than other riots, right? BTW, why aren't you complaining to Fox News about not doing an in-depth investigation on the Antifa riots like the NYT did on the Capitol riot?

  590.  @brianamerica  "I disagree with all riots and find it funny how talk about one riot being worse than the other riots." You don't see how a riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US presidential election and destroy over 200 years of American Democracy is any worse than any other riot? Seriously? And, yes, those who were attempting to overturn and steal the last presidential election were dead-serious about it. And, no, they weren't stupid enough to bring loaded guns into the US Capitol because even they knew that anyone bringing a loaded gun into the US Capitol during an insurrection riot would be looking at spending the rest of their life in ADX SuperMax.
    1
  591.  @brianamerica  "no different than rioters taking over 4 city blocks or burning down buildings." Try telling that to the judge. Eleven Trump supporter insurrectionist rioters have been charged with seditious conspiracy, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. And don't excuse the insurrectionist rioters' actions by trying to critique their strategies and tactics. The fact that their plan may not have been the best one or may not have made sense to you doesn't excuse their actions. You're like a defense lawyer telling a judge that your clients accused of attempted bank robbery should be released because their plan to rob a bank was a stupid one.
    1
  592.  @brianamerica  "with only 10 convictions proves my point." What point? Hundreds of Trump supporters rioters will have pled guilty or have been convicted for their roles in the riot by the time this is all over. The "eleven" that I mentioned were just those who have so far been charged (but not yet tried or convicted) for "seditious conspiracy".

  607. When the Capitol Riot erupted, Fox News personalities such as Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham weren't saying that Antifa or BLM was responsible. They were basically screaming in their text messages to Trump's Chief of Staff for him to get Trump to stop the riot because they knew that he was responsible. And then what did Trump do?....... NOTHING. No, Trump pulled a "disappearing act" for over 3 hours while an historic riot was raging at the US Capitol just a few blocks from the White House. Where was the leader of our country at the moment when our country most needed a leader?

She got what she deserved.

The Capitol Riot was a Trump and Trump supporter insurrection riot. You Trump supporters own it. And by that I mean not just those who actually were there rioting but also people like yourself who fed the "stolen election" lie. You're ALL complicit in what happened on 1/6/21. Trump lost the election and then he lost his mind. And then he got Trump supporters to lose their minds and commit crimes for him in order to try to steal an election that he lost. That's the way it's going down in history, so you might as well get used to it and accept it.

  643. The mob of Trump supporters was at least smart enough to realize that if they did "real damage" at the US Capitol with loaded firearms or by injuring any members of Congress that it would mean a lifetime sentence for them at ADX SuperMax. Even the Trump supporter rioters weren't that stupid. Finally, Ashli Babbitt was a rioter and a member of a mob of rioters.

  644. There is no such thing as "online voting" for the US presidential election. Maybe you mean mail-in voting? If so and if you're saying that Trump doesn't trust mail-in voting, then how do you explain the fact that Trump himself has done mail-in voting?

He said a lot of inflammatory stuff that enraged his supporters there and you know it. You cherry-picked the one time in his speech that he used the word "peacefully" but ignored the nineteen (19) times that he used the words "fight" and "fighting" in ways that inflamed his supporters into a frenzy. And if you're going to compare what Bernie Sanders said that compares with what Trump said on 1/6/21, then you're going to have to provide a Bernie Sanders quote connected to the baseball shooter which compares with this one: Trump (on 1/6/21): "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. YOU FIGHT!.......AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!".
    1
  652.  @firstsergeant9361  "Still doesn't mean physically. You can fight for something you believe in without violence." You're trying to be obtuse. On 1/6/21, Trump was looking out over a crowd of his angry supporters, many of whom were wearing tactical combat gear and helmets. They were angry, and he made them even angrier when he told them that the election was stolen from him and that he wasn't going to concede and that they had to "fight" for him or else they wouldn't have a country anymore. What the heck did you expect that they were going to do? What the heck did Trump expect that they were going to do? Your excuse for "super-genius" Trump is that he was too stupid to realize what effect his words would have on his supporters? You can also try explaining why Trump pulled a "disappearing act" for over 3 hours while an historic riot was raging at the Capitol just a few blocks from the White House. Where was the leader of our nation for over 3 hours at the very moment when our nation most needed a leader?

  656.  @aabhasrai303  No, Trump wasn't a dictator. He would not have been able to impose "martial law" simply because he lost the election. And, no, he didn't "have the military". If he had attempted to use the military to overturn the election, the military would have refused to obey him. The military's first loyalty is to the US Constitution, not to Trump. Trump's only option was to use (as you say) "clowned nutjobs" to try to overturn and steal the election for him.

  662. 1/6/21 was the day of the formal counting of the Electoral College votes in the Senate for the 2020 Presidential election. That's why Trump was urging his supporters to march on the Capitol: To try to overturn and steal the 2020 Presidential election. Nothing like this has ever happened before in US history.

  663.  @phukyew14  It was an insurrection. According to the statements of many of the rioters it was an attempt to overturn a US Presidential election by rioting on the Capitol. That's an insurrection. And the rioters were armed with baseball bats, clubs, brass knuckles, knives, ax handles, flag poles, and hockey sticks. It's all on video.

  669. 1) No, Trump never "requested" the National Guard for the Capitol. Even Trump's own acting Secretary of Defense (Chris Miller) debunked Trump's claim of that. (2) Even IF Trump "requested" 20,000 National Guard troops for the Capitol, what kind of person goes ahead with a large rally at the Capitol if he thinks that 20,000 troops are needed to keep order against violence? You ever think of that? (3) Even IF Trump "requested" 20,000 National Guard troops for the Capitol, then why didn't Trump check and confirm that 20,000 National Guard troops were actually present before going ahead with his rally? It was his rally, so he has ultimate responsibility for the safety of it. (4) Trump's rally was a personal, political rally, not an official US government function. He had no business in contacting the Speaker of the House about his own personal, political rally. If he had security concerns about his personal, political rally then he should have contacted the Capitol Police about them - just like any other private citizen who is holding a personal, political rally at the Capitol.

Planet Earth to Chuck: Pay Attention! Trump's OWN Attorney General (William Barr) told Trump that there was no evidence of any widespread election fraud. And that claim that you quoted of "most secure election in history" wasn't made by just anyone but by Trump's OWN Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). You people keep claiming that there was a "massive election fraud" by playing all sorts of games with distorted numbers, but yet you never actually any real, actual solid evidence of any specific cases of massive election fraud. Why not? Why has over a year gone by since the election without any of you finding any real proof? Answer: Because there isn't any "massive election fraud". If you want to talk about attempted massive election fraud, then go check out investigate the guy who was asking Georgia election officials to "find" him 11,000 votes during the 2020 presidential election.

  685. Trump's poll number is RISING!: "Meanwhile a poll from ABC News/Ipsos conducted from June 17 to June 18 found that 58% of Americans believe that Trump should face criminal charges. This represents an increase from in April, when an ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 52 percent believed he should face charges."

  688.  @tanusreemukherjee1344  Well, BLM and Antifa rioters could claim that they only rioted because of racial injustice in this country. Should we excuse them for their violent riots and let them go because of that? No? So why should we excuse the Capitol rioters because they claim to have a good excuse for their rioting?

  689. All Ray Epps did was to direct people to march on the Capitol, which is the same thing that Donald Trump did.
    1
  690.  @124marsh  Babbitt was a rioter and was a member of a mob of angry violent rioters. She was trying to enter and lead her fellow rioters into a secure area where members of Congress were sheltering in fear of their lives from the rioters. The Capitol police officer did his duty in stopping her attempt. Oh, and don't try to tell me that an angry mob of rioters has never maimed or killed people.
    1
  691.  @124marsh  Trump: "Uhhh, Nasty Nancy? Hi. Donald here. I just wanted to tell you that I just enraged a mob of my supporters and sent them down the street your way. They'll be the ones shouting "Hang Pence!". OK, gotta run now to see what happens on the TV! Bye!".

  692. Wait. Are you saying that Trump and you Trump supporters don't already have any proof of massive election fraud? If so, why all the claims of a "stolen election" if you guys don't already have proof of election fraud?
    1
  693. You think that Trump supporter Ray Epps is some kind of "FBI plant"? Why don't you go write to Fox News or Breitbart and ask them to investigate Ray Epps? They won't because even they don't think that Ray Epps is an "FBI plant".

  697.  @jeffstough6043  If your defense of these Capitol rioters is "Hey! At least they're no worse than Antifa!" then you've got a weak defense. I think that rioters of ANY political stripe should be thrown in prison, and I think that rioters of ANY political stripe who riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election should be given even longer prison sentences. The Republican Party used to call itself the "Party of Law and Order". Now it seems that it's become the Party of "Hey! At least we're not as bad as Antifa!". Sad.

    1
  704.  @fisherwallace3062  Trump's approval ratings were low because the media "didn't like the way he talked to them"? You're full of wacky excuses for Trump's ineptitude, aren't you?

  706. Eleven Trump supporter rioters have been charged with seditious conspiracy, a serious felony which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. You're welcome. Also, as for your wondering about why the rioters didn't bring guns, anyone bringing a loaded gun into the US Capitol during an insurrection riot would be looking at spending the rest of their life in ADX SuperMax. These Trump supporter rioters were stupid, but they weren't that stupid.

  712.  @drp1bb856  I'm not aware that people associated with the Capitol riot are being thrown into solitary confinement for merely "trespassing". In fact, the FBI is focussing on those people who were engaging in violence at the Capitol riot, and as you can see from this video investigation there are a lot of people in that category to keep the FBI busy for awhile.

We're still waiting for you Trumpers to show us proof of the "stolen election" that you've been rambling about. Yup, it's been over a year since the last election and you still haven't shown any proof. In fact, we're still waiting for you guys to show us Obama's Kenyan birth certificate. As for the Capitol rioters, you would fit right in with them. Notice how many of the arrested Capitol rioters have self-admitted mental problems and previous criminal records?

  743.  @stevenbrandon3677  I think that it's hilarious that so many of you Trump supporters are accusing Ray Epps - who is obviously a Trump supporter and a backer of Trump's big election lie - of secretly working for the "other side".
    1
  744.  @stevenbrandon3677  You don't get it. I don't need to prove anything here. You and other Trump supporters are the ones who are making accusations against the guy. It's up to you all to provide solid evidence or proof against the guy, and not just conspiracy theories backed by rumors and innuendoes.
    1
  745. Shouldn't Trump have been the one on top of trying to shut down a riot that he himself incited instead of just watching it on TV in hopes that it would overturn the election for him? 🤔 Why are you trying to blame Democrats and Pelosi for a riot that Trump incited? Do you think that Pelosi is Trump's babysitter?

  746. You Trump supporters rioted on the Capitol and tried to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.

  747. Wait, you're telling us that Pelosi outsmarted super-genius Donald Trump again???
    1
  748. Well, background checks of the arrested rioters including looking at their social media history and interviews with people familiar with them indicate that virtually all those who were arrested for the Capitol Riot are real Trump supporters.
    1
  749. About 15 Trump supporter rioters have been charged with seditious conspiracy which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. That's right, some of your fellow Trump supporters may not be getting out of Federal prison until around the year 2042. Happy now?

  752.  @Waywind420  FYI, Don Jr met with Russian officials in Trump Tower during the 2016 election campaign to get dirt on Hillary from them (and not to discuss "Russian adoptions" with them, as he initially lied.) That's attempted collusion right there. Also, FYI, multiple Trump associates (e,g., Flynn, Kushner, Sessions) lied about or omitted mentioning multiple Russian contacts and meetings on their Federal SF-86 top-secret security clearance questionnaires. So please excuse me and a lot of other Americans if we believe that Trump associates and Trump have not been fully open and honest about their relationships with their Russian contacts.

  757.  @johnadams1281  "Even Trump said he wants peaceful protest and NO VIOLENCE." You're cherry-picking. Trump used the word "peaceful" only once during his long speech on 1/6/21. He used the words "fight" or "fighting" 19 times in that same speech. Here's a sample: Trump: "YOU DON'T CONCEDE WHEN THERE'S THEFT INVOLVED! YOU FIGHT!.....AND IF YOU DON'T FIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!".

  758. The video investigation just shows what happened at the Capitol with video clips taken of the event, including many video clips taken by Trump supporters.

  759.  @metaempiricist  You can rage about CNN all you want. I don't care. I have no vested interest in CNN. And I think that it's lame that you are trying to use the Antifa riots which no true citizen approves of to try to deflect away from or minimize what Trump supporter rioters did at the US Capitol on 1/6/21 in their attempt to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election.
    1
  760.  @metaempiricist  In your simple minded way of thinking you're equating all protestors with rioters. If you want to present a specific case in which a person who was caught rioting (not just protesting) was bailed out by "liberal politicians and Hollywood elites", then please do so. Maybe I'll even agree with you that the individuals who bailed the rioter out should be condemned. Oh, and your attempt to deflect away and minimize the rioting by the Trump supporters is lame. Unlike you, I condemn ALL rioters regardless of their politics. You, on the other hand, pick and choose which ones to condemn based on their politics.

  766. No, Trump never made an offer to Pelosi about the National Guard. That's just Trump lying as usual. Trump lies as naturally as he breathes. I'll bet that you also think that he's some kind of "super-genius" because he said that he was.

  769.  @PaulSchober  "How do you "steal" an election by walking through the "People's House"?" Don't play stupid with me. Everyone knows all about the plan by Trump and Trump supporters to steal the election by trying to get Pence to halt the Electoral College vote count and introducing "fake electors", etc.. It wasn''t exactly a big secret with rioters shouting "Hang Pence!" and Trump blurting out all his plans, you know.
    1
  770.  @PaulSchober  "How exactly could Pence be able to halt the electoral college vote? On what grounds? The most that could have been accomplished (without taking hostages at gunpoint) would have been a delay, which would have meant the College vote would have happened in a day or two." Pay attention: I never claimed that the plan by Trump and Trump supporters was well thought out. Sure it was a poorly thought-out plan (which, after all, is characteristic of a lot of Trump's thinking). But so what? We don't excuse attempted bank robbers because their bank robbery plan was stupid and unworkable. We don't excuse people of attempted murder because their attempted murder plan was stupid and unworkable. So why should we excuse people who attempted to overturn and steal a certified US presidential election because their plan to steal an election was stupid and unworkable? As for your claim that there were "plenty" of non-Trump supporters at the riot, evidence doesn't support that. The vast majority of those arrested for the Capitol Riot have been determined to be strong Trump supporters after their backgrounds were investigated.
    1
  771.  @joep8787  "Lets say they succeeded in cornering Pelosi in her office and under the threat of violence, she said "Trump won"." No, you don't get it. You're basically trying to argue that the insurrectionists at the Capitol are not guilty because they had a stupid insurrection plan. That's not how it works. We don't free failed bank robbers because they had a stupid bank robbery plan. We don't free failed auto thieves because they had a stupid auto theft plan. And we don't free failed insurrectionists because they had a stupid insurrection plan.

    1
  778.  @thatbluefa5913  Yeah, a lot of you Trump supporters are both figuratively AND literally whining and sky-screaming about the fact that your guy lost the election - which is the exact same thing that many of you said that Democrats were going to do if Biden lost. And that, sir, is called "Irony".

Fellas, I need 11,000 votes! Give me a break!"
    1
  782. Why aren't you complaining to Fox News about them not doing an in-depth investigation on Antifa/BLM riots like the NYT did with the Capitol riot?
    1
  783. Note the plainclothes Capitol police officers with their guns drawn and pointed directly at the rioters attempting to enter the House Chamber at 26:50. It's clear that the police officers meant business and were ready to shoot any rioter who tried to enter the House Chamber. Ashli Babbitt wasn't the only rioter who could have been shot and killed on 1/6/21. She was just the only one who didn't think that the Capitol police officers were deadly serious about defending certain Red Lines in the Capitol.
    1
  784. So the point you want to make is that BLM/Antifa rioters are even worse than Trump supporter rioters?
    1
  785.  @NexusWarior211  Apparently you didn't watch this video investigation. Why are you posting about a video that you didn't even bother to watch?

  786.  @rasalghul9331  Apparently, you didn't detect the sarcasm in my post. Your attempt to deflect from the Trump supporter rioters attempting to steal a certified US Presidential election is pathetic. No one here is defending Antifa/BLM rioters. And your attempt to defend or minimize the actions of the Trump supporter rioters/insurrectionists by bringing up Antifa/BLM rioters is laughable.
    1
  787. So what is your point? That the fact that some people started to riot before Trump finished his talk proves that he couldn't have incited others to also riot by the time he finished his talk?

  788.  @wwbit  Hey, I just saw Obama's Kenyan birth certificate heading north up I-57 towards Chicago! If you hurry, maybe you can catch up to it!

  789.  @peggyivey5828  How many of those Democrat rioters were in an insurrection riot trying to block and steal a certified US presidential election and trying to lead a mob of fellow angry rioters to members of Congress who were sheltering in fear of their lives from rioters? I will wait.
    1
  790.  @peggyivey5828  "If a person does not have a weapon they are unarmed." Facts are important. This person (Ashli Babbitt) wasn't just walking down the street unarmed and get shot. No, on 1/6/21 she was a rioter and a member of a mob of angry, violent rioters trying to get at members of Congress. And Ashli Babbitt was trying to lead her fellow rioters forward to the members of Congress. Try to tell me that a mob of angry, violent rioters isn't dangerous. Try to tell me that no one has ever been killed or maimed by a mob of angry, violent rioters. If you think that a mob of angry, violent rioters isn't deadly dangerous, I would love to see how fast you change your mind about how deadly they are if one night a mob of angry, violent Antifa rioters shows up on your doorstep and surrounding your house. Bet you'll change your mind about angry, violent mobs like the one at the Capitol really fast.

  794. An historic riot on the US Capitol and a moment that America needed its leader to speak out and immediately stop the riot. But where was the leader? He was AWOL for over 4 hours while the riot was going on. He was watching it on TV and hoping that the rioters could overturn and steal the election for him.

  796.  @berghoutcful  Like you believe that Trump requested the National Guard because he said so. I'll bet you also believe that Trump, a guy who speaks and writes at the 4th grade elementary school level, is some kind of "super-genius" because he said that he was. LOL!

  797. Tell it to the judge.
    1
  798.  @bane.3635  Probably because those are politically loaded charges and there is still a lot of political friction over the Capitol Riot (in case you haven't noticed). Also, there are already other felonies that can be applied to the most serious offenders in the Capitol Riot such as civil disorder; destruction of government property, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers.
    1
  799.  @bane.3635  "12k+ dead"? You're writing that over 12,000 people died in riots in this country over the past year or so? I don't think so. What are you smoking?

    1
  803.  @BigDaddyBeefBoy  If the 2020 presidential election was "obviously tampered-with" then you would have some proof to show me. You don't. All you Trump supporters have a bunch of nutty conspiracy theories which don't even agree with each other about "Italian satellites" and "Chinese thermometers" and "North Korean cargo ships" and a "military intelligence expert" who actually flunked out of basic computer training class and spent his years in the US Army as a truck mechanic. You don't have any proof of a "stolen election". All you have is an ex-president who lost the election but isn't man enough or mature enough to admit that he lost because he can't stand the embarrassment of being viewed as a "Loser".
    1
  804.  @BigDaddyBeefBoy  No, reputable news organizations are NOT reporting that the last election was "heavily and obviously tampered-with" (your words). They all say that the last election was properly conducted and that Biden won. Don't know what "news" you're referring to, probably extremist right-wing places like Breitbart and AONN because even Fox News says that Biden won.

  805. We can all tell that you didn't even watch this video investigation.

  806. It was an insurrection riot on the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn and steal a US election, Sparky.

  807. Even the Trump supporter rioters weren't stupid enough to bring loaded guns into the US Capitol. Any rioter caught bringing a loaded gun into the US Capitol during an insurrection riot would be spending the rest of his or her life in ADX Supermax.

  808.  @Poogs  There is no convincing evidence of large scale election fraud. There is only an ex-President who isn't mature and man enough to admit that he lost the election.

  809. Well, if you still think that the election was stolen, then you bought into Trump's lie which resulted in this Capitol Riot. There is no solid evidence or proof of any massive, multi-state election fraud in the 2020 election. Even Trump's own Attorney General and his own head of Cyber-Security for the DHS said that there is no evidence of large-scale fraud in the 2020 election.

  810.  @imakevidz4u  "There WAS some suspicious activity that happened during the election which I saw but it doesn't prove the election was stolen." Even Trump's own Attorney General and head of Cyber-Security for DHS said that there was no evidence of any large-scale election fraud. So you think that you, an ex-drug addict who sells pillows, and an childish ex-president with the attention span of a baby chipmunk know more about the subject of election security than they do?

  811. There were at least four shouts among the rioters that the police officer on the other side of the door had pulled a gun out. Guess that Babbitt was gambling that the officer wasn't serious about guarding the corridor when she decided to go through the broken window.

  812. You can relax. According to Trump's interpretation of the US Constitution, the Vice President effectively has the power to choose the next President, so Kamala Harris will be choosing your next President for you.

  813. Is that the movie made by some guy who was convicted of election fraud and spent time in Federal prison?

  814. What you saw were Trump supporter rioters trying to steal a certified US Presidential election for Trump.

  815. The video report consists mostly of actual video clips taken of the riot. You just can't deal with the truth.

  816. Only attempt at fraud here was Trump and Trump supporters attempting to overturn and steal a certified US Presidential election by rioting on the Capitol.

  817. Trump lost, and then he lost his mind, and then his supporters lost their minds.

  818. So how did your "Thomas Jefferson said that it was OK" defense work when you went in front of the judge in Federal Court?

  819. You Trump supporters are even bigger whiners about losing than you claimed that Democrats would be if Biden lost! 😄😄😄

  820. Would make an entertaining TV show: "Chris Hansen's 'To Catch an Insurrectionist'".

  821. I wonder if Trump supporters will still believe that the Vice President of the US effectively has the power to choose the next President by being able to reject whichever electoral college votes he/she doesn't like when Kamala Harris is presiding over the counting of the electoral college votes in the Senate on January 6, 2025 for the 2024 Presidential election?

  823. Ashli Babbitt was a "card carrying Democrat"???

  824. That's right. Not just one Trump rioter has been charged with sedition. Eleven (11) Trump rioters have been charged with seditious conspiracy.
