    Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he disagreed with the description of the Capitol and worried that the “insurrection” label could be used by prosecutors.

    If this gets used politically, the wording in the bill, then we really are in bad shape.
    Politically is on the other end of the spectrum from "prosecutors".  I don't understand what you mean.  
    I shortcut when I write instead of explaining it all sometimes...

    The reasoning for some NOT to back it was because of the language used in the bill.

    I find it preposterous to look at the bill that way.

    If, and only if the language in this bill gets used down the road to legally persecute people, we as a country are in really bad shape.

    It boils down to if you make a bill to honor people then cherry pick statements from it to use in court cases to me, is bad.


    I do take time to hear the counterpoints and put them in reason.
    this bill is simply to award a congressional gold medal to captial police on duty that day. 

    Correct but 12 people whom voted for it do not.

    Capitol?  I know what you meant but everyone says "words matter".
    I'm not convinced that your use of the word "persecute" in the context that you used it was accidental or due to a lack of proof reading. Very Fucker Carlson of you. Whereas in Mickey's context, it could be chalked up to misspelling.

    Words matter. Words matter.
    The quote I used says "prosecutors".  The word was  quoted even.  I just messed up the word.  Even if I had meant to use "persecute" what does it matter?  
    Guess you missed the question mark in my reply? What does it matter? Good god there's not enough patience in a lifetime to explain the difference between "persecute" and "prosecute" in the context that you used the word "persecute." Sure am glad you cleared that up.
    I don't understand what you are trying to get at, I really don't...

    I understand the difference of the words.  I wrote the wrong one and you and another picked up on it and both admitted I was wrong yet we are still going around with this?


    You then asked, depending on which word was used, “what difference does it make?” and tried to equate that to a misspelled word. The difference, if you really don’t know, is quite large and substantial in their meaning and consequences, particularly in the context of your original post. The events of January 6th are not a laughing matter, nor one to be so easily misrepresented or glib about. January 6th wasn’t the end but the beginning.
    I said you were right.
    I misspelled the word.
    I admitted to the above.
    I know the difference.
    Nobody is laughing.

    Move on.

    You just argue to the point of arguing.
    No, I’m making my point AFTER you claimed “not to understand what I was getting at.” Do yourself a favor and proof read your posts if you don’t want to be misunderstood. Really.

    Have a great day!

    It's weird to say the least, how quiet LEO defenders are about the GOP trying to memory hole 1/6.

    They could always have an investigation into 1/6 to prove what they're saying that it wasn't an insurrection. :tongue:

    What a fucking kop out.  You vote against the bill to "Back the Blue" because you're worried that a bill will unfairly prejudice a jury against a criminal defendant?  Just curious, would you have voted no on this bill?

    @tempo_n_groove this is what started the whole thing.  This is what led everyone to believe that you thought the language was a problem.

    Got it.  I do believe the language in the bill matters and I have said before that if the future "Prosecution" (not persecution B) ) of people on trial have the wording in this bill used against them then that is a problem.

    I think that is a bullshit reason not to vote for this bill though and yes it was an insurrection.

    "Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who voted against awarding police officers the Congressional Gold Medal for their bravery in protecting the U.S. Capitol against violent, pro-Trump rioters on Jan. 6, refused to shake hands with District of Columbia police officer Michael Fanone on Wednesday.

    Fanone was beaten unconscious after he voluntarily rushed to the Capitol to help defend it from those who breached the building. He suffered a concussion and a mild heart attack. In the months since, Fanone has been one of the leading voices pushing back against Republicans who have sought to downplay the severity of what happened Jan. 6....

    He said he recognized Clyde at an elevator and that he and Dunn hopped in with the congressman.

    “I simply extended my hand and said, “How are you doing today, Congressman.’ I knew immediately he recognized me by the way he reacted. He completely froze. He just stared at me,” Fanone said in an interview.

    Fanone said Clyde did not motion to shake his hand in return.

    “I said, ‘I’m sorry, you’re not going to shake my hand?’ ” Fanone said he told Clyde.

    He said Clyde answered, “I don’t know who you are.”

    Fanone said he responded, “‘I’m sorry, sir, my name is Michael Fanone. I’m a D.C. police officer and I fought to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6.” He said he described being stunned repeatedly in the back of the neck and beaten unconscious, stripped of his badge and radio.

    “His response was nothing,” Fanone said. “He turned away from me, pulled out his cellphone and started thumbing through the apps.” Fanone said Clyde turned on the camera app but did not point the phone in his direction. Fanone said he believes Clyde was trying to record audio of the encounter.

    “After that, I just simply stood there,” Fanone said.

    He said Clyde bolted when the doors opened."

    Yeah, if we're all in agreement that this was an insurrection, why would there be concern about the term being used politically? Or by prosecuting attorneys? 

    What's the problem?


    We're worried about people bringing facts to the table now?

    Facts are out there and should not look at the bill for them is what I am saying.  If prosecution uses the medal of valor bill to convict people I just find that really odd...

    "I present you with evidence that it was an insurrection from the medal of valor bill your honor!"

    No.  Show the damn videos, emails and everything else.  Don't politicize the damn Valor bill.  You cheapen it by doing so.

    You're taking at face value, the reasoning used to vote against the bill, which suggests these republicans care about the people being prosecuted. 


    Let's face facts, here. Republicans don't want to call it an insurrection, because it was a republican insurrection. If they were to call it as much, they would be admitting they tried to overthrow the government.
