    The blame for what happened on Wednesday is on Trump and those who supported and enabled him, full stop. 

    This isn't complicated. 

    The rest is all bullshit excuses.

    charlottesville predates BLM. if we are to argue that one violent incident begets another, which I don't think it does, then you'd have to recognize that the blame can't go to BLM. especially if the MAGATS saw what went on, you'd have to be borderline brain dead to "want" to engage in being beaten the fuck out of by police for peacefully protesting, which is what happened in many, many incidents. 

    suggesting there was some conscious decision by a bunch of MAGATS that "well, the blacks got away with it, so can we" is again, absurd. 
    To be historically accurate BLM came about in 2013 in the wake of zimmerman being found innocent. It became well known after the riots in Ferguson, MO.

    White supremacists didn't become emboldened until they had people in the white house.

    As for the MAGAts they had the thumbs up from their leader to attack the Capitol.
    i was more referring to the summer riots of 2020.

    The MAGATS have been organizing this for months, and laying the groundwork for years. Follow Malcolm Nance, a former intelligence officer who has been tracking these groups on the web. This was not a reaction to George Floyd. That's a freaking excuse drummed up in the mainstream media

    From Heather Cox-Richardson's newsletter this morning: 

    "The disparity in treatment of yesterday’s rioters and Black Lives Matter protesters reflects the reality that authorities treat protesters differently according to their perceived political identification. FiveThirtyEight’s Maggie Koerth interviewed Roudabeh Kishi, whose research team tracked police violence in the U.S. from May 1 to November 28, 2020, and Koerth writes that authorities were “more than twice as likely to attempt to break up and disperse a left-wing protest than a right-wing one.” When they did intervene, they used force 51% of the time for the left and only 34% of the time for the right."

    You nailed it

    Everyone who advises him, believes him, enables him, follows him, posts in support of him on liberal bands message board, votes for him is complicit.

    Would have better if he was pretending to be driving down the highway while filming.

    Note -- not actually to be driving down the highway.  :lol:

    You're probably right which is unfortunate, because he really hits the nail on the head.

    Last time I checked BLM protesters didn’t kill cops, some patriots these MAGA idiots are! 
    The problem with this statement is there is no official membership for BLM. Most of BLM protesters weren’t violent. But many who were violent were using the BLM slogan. Cops have been killed as part of an anti-police protest. So it’s easy to say “well that’s not BLM” because there is no official BLM membership or status. But there’s been violence and deaths of cops during the summer riots.

    I'm beginning to wonder if this was a coup?  Maybe we all got our emotions played with on this?

    Divide us up even more?  Black helicopter talk?  Tin Foil hat?
    The lack of preparation in advance, Trump's inaction in the heat of the moment, the DOD's 90 minute delay in allowing MD to send backup*, the Capitol Police taking selfies w/ the insurrectionists after clashing... there's a lot of questions that need answering here. 

    There were guys who stormed the building w/ zip ties & more, they were looking to take hostages. This was not a peaceful protest that went bad. 

    * If you haven't watched Larry Hogan's press conference from yesterday, I recommend you do. 
    So here is something else I am noticing.  there were THOUSANDS of people there marching.  We are, and rightfully so, focusing on the chaos that ensued in the Capitol.
    Isn't this what the media focused on during the BLM rallies?  Only the chaos?

    That is why I say we are being played.

    Are you suggesting this was a false flag? 

    If so, that's a bridge too far for me. 
    No no.  The media is definitely not showing how the other 95% behaved.

    The Vice President of the United States and our entire Congress was one shattered window away from being attacked, maybe killed, maybe held hostage by a mob.

    Yes, the media should have turned their cameras to the picnics on the lawn, the ones being held next to the noose they erected. 

    I just can't believe we're having a debate about this.

    how are we being played if the media shows us the carnage? that's literally what is so newsworthy about it. does sportscentre show all the 2 yard running plays in mid field? no, they show the touchdowns and interceptions. 

    when someone kills their spouse, the interviewer doesn't go report on a good marriage down the street.

    I agree with you. But I think the message is it makes it look like that’s what everyone is doing when in reality thousands are just gathered outside doing nothing. But who cares about the crowd standing there doing nothing, or just chanting or yelling or making signs, whatever. Let us know more about the people breaking into the Capitol, even if it wasn’t a majority.

    And most people with an IQ can tell that it was only a hundred or two out of the thousands that were there creating the carnage. i don't need the media to spoon feed every single minute detail like I'm 2.
