Capitol Riots 2
Comments

It was Antifa
It was BLM
It was the FBI
It was a normal tour
It wasn't an insurrection
Also, we don't want to investigate, we want to pretend it never happened, we can't dwell on the past we need to move forward.
JFC, come on already.0 -
Oh please. It was a bullshit defense and was only raised by the members that continually downplay and lie about the ferocity of the event. And they are the same ones that say Stop the Steal and voted against certification. In short, this defense is only being raised by the enablers of Jan 6th. Echoing their arguments does not serve you or anyone well.tempo_n_groove said:
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...Merkin Baller said:
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?mrussel1 said:
@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.tempo_n_groove said:
Why would they not back this? The language used in the bill they say...Bentleyspop said:
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.
What's the problem?
We're worried about people bringing facts to the table now?
"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.0 -

We agree with everything else on it.
Don't politicize the Medal of Valor Bill. That's all I want.0 -

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.
There is plenty of evidence out there that the last thing they need is a bill to help the cause out.
That is all I am saying.0 -

The reason for the repubs NOT voting for it was the wording, their words. The wording they think can be used in prosecution.
I said If, that is IF, this bill is used to prosecute and prove a point then the bill is being politicized.
I have also said that the reasoning for the repubs to vote no is bullshit.
So, what is the problem?0 -
the issue, I THINK (don't want to speak for anyone here) the issue is that you are saying the reason is bullshit, but you agree with their reasoning that if it gets politicized it's wrong, but their whole reason for not voting yes is because of that reason, so it sounds like you agree with them, even though you say you don't.tempo_n_groove said:

"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.
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.
There is plenty of evidence out there that the last thing they need is a bill to help the cause out.
That is all I am saying.
The reason for the repubs NOT voting for it was the wording, their words. The wording they think can be used in prosecution.
I said If, that is IF, this bill is used to prosecute and prove a point then the bill is being politicized.
I have also said that the reasoning for the repubs to vote no is bullshit.
So, what is the problem?

It can’t be both.
I think their reasoning is bullshit because it won't happen. Politicizing of the bill won't happen.
If politicizing of the bill does happen then that is bullshit.
