Even though the candidate I voted for lost, I will not be storming the Capitol today, because I am not an anti-American, pro-authoritarian piece of SH-T.

Police Officer Michael Fanone was seriously injured while protecting the Capitol. Don’t tell him January 6 didn’t happen...

"It was a war scene at the Capitol that day, there were officers on the ground. They were bleeding. They were throwing up. I saw friends with blood all over their faces." ~D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone

Trump tells his MAGA cult that he's for law and order. What a joke.

Then he turns around and tries to turn the officers who defended the Capitol into the criminals. And MAGA world goes right along. And FOX et al, whitewash that day of infamy, and the righties on this board can't bring themselves to condemn the attackers.

It is all so strange. How one shabby failure of a man can fool so many people. But it's an oft told tale, sadly repeated over and over again.

And neither are 99% of the citizens who support Trump and voted for the MAGA agenda.

Note I think that most supporting MAGA are anti crime and agree with the harsh treatment of J6'ers who committed actual violence. That does NOT make the entire movement and those who support it a piece of shit. Not Garbage either.

The liberals would be well advised to permit more nuanced insights into their political assessments rather than a shallow, "You are ALL Pieces O' Shit", which at its core is just another blame the voters excuse.

I understand that most Republicans don’t support an insurrection and that the vast majority of 1/6 protesters did not invade the U.S. Capitol.

But that does not excuse voters who voted for a man that brought our country’s economy to its knees, whose actions and words caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, who fomented an insurrection and sat by doing nothing while it occurred, and has promised to pardon the people who planned and participated in the insurrection.

The ONLY people to blame are the voters that put him back in power.

Do you actually think something good will come of this?

As it has been said:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

What do you call a German in 1939 who supported Hitler and his treatment of Jews?

I know what my family called them.

Trump is no Republican. Trump is no Patriot or Constitutionalist. He's a felon, a rapist, a racist, a fraudulent piece of shit who calls his movement MAGA.

Ergo, MAGA is represented by shit. Bannon, the MAGA leader's ex-advisor promotes 'flooding the zone with shit,' so don't go getting all sensitive on us, whining about it now that your Day of Love J6 con man aka MAGA shit leader has succeeded in winning an election.

Putin, Un, Bolsonaro, Duterte, and other pieces of shit have won elections, and now yours won. Congratulations.

Does one have to qualify themselves to disagree with you by explicitly denouncing Hitler?

No thanks...

OK, one answer.... What do you call a German in 1939 who supported Hitler and his treatment of Jews? I would call that a topic irrelevant to this thread.

Way to misquote me. Lie much?
I said, "I will not be storming the Capitol today, because I am not an anti-American, pro-authoritarian piece of SH-T."

If you stormed the capitol you are a POS.

A straw man fallacy occurs when someone misrepresents another person’s argument to make it easier to attack.
It involves setting up a weaker or distorted version of an opponent’s stance in order to knock it down, rather than addressing the actual argument.

MAGA is a shit supporting organization.

I understand it is uncomfortable for you to own what MAGA is, but it is what it is.

Trump's MAGA supporters will forever be known as the people that supported 'flooding the zone with shit' and all that it entail, just as the people my family fought will forever be avid supporters of Naziism.

If that makes you uncomfortable, good. It should.

Hey, now. Don’t give them advice on this, the Most Holy Day on The Church of Progressivism’s calendar.

Today is a day of mourning, of reflection, of quiet contemplation about how we came thissssss close to losing our demo- HAHAHAHAHHA. Sorry, I couldn’t keep a straight face any longer.

Today we celebrate the Jan 6 picanic. A miniature replica of the hanging scaffold is available on line for $100. we also have replicas of your favorite Dem politicians hiding under benches for $150. For a limited time a mechanized masked MAGA that brings down an American flag and beats a uniformed gestapo policeman, for $250. And also a mechanized MAGA that sprays bear spray into gestapo faces - $265. For $1,000 MTG will give tours of the capital grounds narrating the fight for Freedom. For $1,500 we have replicas of ties with Big Mac food stains from Trump's burgers on that day. For $10,000 two ex SS agents will stuff you into a car and you can order them to the capital and attempt to grab the steering wheel as you go for the jugular.

For $150,000 a group of actors will surround you dressed in authentic Jan 6 fare, and reenact storming the capital complete with loudspeakers blaming the police for causing all the violence.

Y'all are proto-fascists. last time you didn't seem to understand what proto means.

proto-
/ˈprōdō/
combining form
prefix: proto-; prefix: prot-

original or primitive.
"prototherian"
first; anterior; relating to a precursor.
"protomartyr"


So you need to go a ways to perfect it and become full fascist. You are the precursor. Just go through that door #1 with blinders on, never turn back, and then later... deny, deny, deny.

Fair enough. But how can those MAGA supporters then turn around and support a person who has frequently called those violent J6'ers freedom fighters and promised to pardon them?

I've never heard Trump differentiate between the violent offenders and those who were only convicted of various trespass violations. And it's important to point out that those in prison today for J6 crimes are almost all of the violent type.

When you're right, you're right. Have a rec. But there's only one authentic headdress. You'll need to sell accurate replicas. A temporary tattoo set is also available. And if you buy both today, we'll include free face paint with instructions.

Another piece of missing merch is some action figures. Of course, QAnon Shaman will be one. How about a set of military garbed, stacked stair climbers. You can play with them separately, or interlock hands onto shoulders to press forward through crowds. There's also the MAGA mob vs. riot gear police complete with doorway where you can squeeze a policeman.

And for those who want to play police, there's the video game where you can warn members of the mob to stay out, then shoot them as they crawl through a broken window in a door.

I'm kinda disappointed that, so far, there have been no timely displays of empathy for the imprisoned J6rs...like suicide-dude in his Tesla loaded with firecrackers and skyrockets.

His timing was just all wrong. It would have been so kool if he'd lit the fuse at Trump's dump just as the Veep was gaveling the conclusion of the confirmation.

Maybe one of them Patriots will get it right on inauguration day!

Everyone is a critic. :) We also sell a smaller version of Nancy Pelosi's desk you can use as an ottoman (padded or unpadded) $1200. Do not buy from competitors, we are the official Trump Jan 6 site vendor - all others are imitations, and the money we receive goes into the Official Patriot Slush Fund - for Donald. We do accept bitcoin for payment. We also sell a Josh Hawley action figure that sprints down hallways and stairs only $400. We also sell a figure of Lindsey Graham that says "I'm out", and then an hour later praises Trump for the superb manly man Trump is.

We have an official Lego set of the Capitol with action figures, barricades, fake rubber bullets, bear spray, and Lego FBI and Home Security agents egging the crowd on.

You have got to be kidding.

You support Trump who viciously attacks everyone who he perceives has slighted him in any way; who wants to throttle a free press.

You support the party which is happily supported by those who want to overthrow the government; who threaten serious violence against those they disagree with. Many public figures who have spoken out against Trump or tried to hold him accountable for his crimes and misdeeds suffer constant death threats against them and their families. You do not see that coming from the left.

The right has become such a bunch of whiny wankers. Always the victims even as they victimize others.

As has become commonplace, your accusation is a confession.

Great additions to the collectibles.

Can I suggest you consider miniature Senate desks with papers to rummage through?

Then there's the ultimate in collectible items: Genuine poo poo from recently pardoned J6 inmates, complete with a certificate of authenticity and ready for smearing onto the walls or floor of that Lego Capitol building.

BTW, do you have an add on for the Lego Capitol that includes the scaffolding? I'm looking for an accurate recreation for my living room.

Crooks is not from the left. He didn't seem to be motivated by politics. Just wanted a big splash. He looked at both Trump and Biden. Trump was just around.

"Crooks

Evidence on his political views remains inconclusive. In January 2021, he donated $15 to a voter turnout group with a Democratic platform. When he reached the voting age of 18 in September 2021, he registered to vote in Pennsylvania as a member of the Republican Party and remained registered as a Republican until his death."

There was no incentive for them to do that this year.

What is important to note is that not a single *Democrat* vandalized the Capitol nor stabbed a police officer with a flagpole. Neither did a single Democrat in Congress object to the counting of the Electoral College votes.
