    I get what you're saying. Sure, it wasn't worded very clear, but I know what you mean now. A lot of hand wringing going on here over much ado about nothing.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Why would they not back this?  The language used in the bill they say...

    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.
    @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.  
    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. 

    Don't politicize the bill is what I am saying.


    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.
    How was this bill politicized, and by whom? 
    OK let's go through this again.

    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?  
    The problem is you’re contradicting yourself. 

    You acknowledge their reasoning to vote against the bill is bullshit, but also accept the hypothetical “politicization” of the bill as a valid reason to not vote for the bill. 

    Which one is it? Bullshit, or a valid reason to vote against the bill?


    It can’t be both. 
    No it's not.

    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.

    From where I'm standing it seems like you have no idea what you're saying. 
    I thought I explained it well enough but we will try another way.

    What is the bill for?

    I'm not the only person who found your statements contradictory, so you clearly didn't explain it well enough. 


    Figure out the bill for yourself and explain both how the republicans' reasoning for voting against it is bullshit and valid, because you've argued both here this afternoon. 
    I give up...
    that's how I took it too, tempo. 
    This last one didn't make sense?


    The bill is for the medal of honor.

    If the bill's language is used in the court of law going forward then the bill was politicized.  That is what I am trying to get at.

    Does that make sense?
    No. Bills introduced, debated and voted on in Congress by their/there/they're nature are "political." Referencing a bill/law/act passed by Congress in a courtroom prosecution because it mentions or references "insurrection" is not "politicizing" the bill, its a statement of fact.

    If the bill didn't pass, do you think the prosecutors would drop the charges? As far as I've heard, no one is being charged with insurrectionism, if there is indeed a statute on the books in the courts that have jurisdiction and prosecutors have filed such a charge.

    A defense attorney could argue that, "that evil commie bill passed by Congress that awarded the Medal of Honor to our men and women in blue was an evil conspiracy by the dem majority to define a tourist visit as an insurrection and since it was a tourist visit, you must acquit my client." Never mind the actual charge(s) of trespassing, failure to disperse, theft, assault, conspiracy, etc. that defendants are likely to be charged with.

    How do you define "insurrection?"

    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?
    I get that the "language matters" but it was an insurrection so I'd have voted Yes.

    Again w the language in the bill and it could be used as a "bearing on their case".


    Their case to bring to justice the people who stormed the Capitol and assaulted Capitol Police? 

    That case? 
    Yes that case.  Interesting, huh?
    So I don't quite get your stance.  Were you reporting, providing your opinion or being a contrarian?

    Yes that case.  Interesting, huh?

    So you agree the reasoning is bullshit then, since you agree it was an insurrection?

    Direct quote from me
    "I'd have voted yes" as to voting yes on the medals for the Capitol police.

    Am I missing something?
    Yes, you missed my direct question: 

    I asked if you agree the reasoning the republicans gave for voting against the bill is bullshit, since you agree it was an insurrection. 
    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.

    this isnt a bill establishing criminal law with penalties etc....

    This is what the repubs are afraid of and why they're trying to define the insurrection as a "tourist visit" and are opposed to any kind of formal investigation. There are members of Congress and the POOTWH administration who are complicit in the events of that day (unlike Hillary and Benghazi) and likely are in violation of the law. First the definition:

    Definition of insurrection

    an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

    Choose the Right Synonym for insurrection

    REBELLIONREVOLUTIONUPRISINGREVOLTINSURRECTIONMUTINY mean an outbreak against authority. REBELLION implies an open formidable resistance that is often unsuccessful.  open rebellion against the officers  REVOLUTION applies to a successful rebellion resulting in a major change (as in government).  a political revolution that toppled the monarchy  UPRISING implies a brief, limited, and often immediately ineffective rebellion.  quickly put down the uprising  REVOLT and INSURRECTION imply an armed uprising that quickly fails or succeeds.  a revolt by the Young Turks that surprised party leaders   an insurrection of oppressed laborers  MUTINY applies to group insubordination or insurrection especially against naval authority.  a mutiny led by the ship's cook 

    Insurrection | Definition of Insurrection by Merriam-Webster


    Now, the law:

    §2383. Rebellion or insurrection

    Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

    (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

    Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §4 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §4, 35 Stat. 1088).

    Word "moreover" was deleted as surplusage and minor changes were made in phraseology.

    [USC02] 18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES (house.gov)

    Now, they'd have to be indicted, charged and face trial and be found guilty but me thinks there's enough evidence that we know about and more that we don't know about to get a conviction. It'd be nice if there were consequences for these fuckers (complicit members of Congress) but there won't be. And if the Horned Shaman, or any other treasonous POS, is convicted in a court where the prosecutor references the Medal of Honor bill as referencing the "insurrection" and he's convicted? Great, he/they got what he/they deserved because it was an "insurrection."

    And if you don’t think this shit is going to get worse, you better wake up. These are elected members of Congress spewing this rhetoric on major communications outlets. They know who their/there/they’re message reaches. Someone should ask Lindsey Flimsy Flip Flop Faloozy Graham, Matt Getts Off and the rest of their ilk if their/there/they’re dues paying members or supporters of any white supremacist/nationalist organization. They need to be exposed.

    Again w the language in the bill and it could be used as a "bearing on their case".


    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?
    I get that the "language matters" but it was an insurrection so I'd have voted Yes.

    Again w the language in the bill and it could be used as a "bearing on their case".


    Their case to bring to justice the people who stormed the Capitol and assaulted Capitol Police? 

    That case? 
    Yes that case.  Interesting, huh?
    So I don't quite get your stance.  Were you reporting, providing your opinion or being a contrarian?

    Yes that case.  Interesting, huh?

    So you agree the reasoning is bullshit then, since you agree it was an insurrection?

    Direct quote from me
    "I'd have voted yes" as to voting yes on the medals for the Capitol police.

    Am I missing something?
    Yes, you missed my direct question: 

    I asked if you agree the reasoning the republicans gave for voting against the bill is bullshit, since you agree it was an insurrection. 
    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.

    this isnt a bill establishing criminal law with penalties etc....
    That is why I said "IF" it is used for that then it's bullshit...

    I thought I explained it well enough but we will try another way.

    What is the bill for?

    I'm not the only person who found your statements contradictory, so you clearly didn't explain it well enough. 


    Figure out the bill for yourself and explain both how the republicans' reasoning for voting against it is bullshit and valid, because you've argued both here this afternoon. 
    I give up...
    that's how I took it too, tempo. 
    This last one didn't make sense?


    The bill is for the medal of honor.

    If the bill's language is used in the court of law going forward then the bill was politicized.  That is what I am trying to get at.

    Does that make sense?
    No. Bills introduced, debated and voted on in Congress by their/there/they're nature are "political." Referencing a bill/law/act passed by Congress in a courtroom prosecution because it mentions or references "insurrection" is not "politicizing" the bill, its a statement of fact.

    If the bill didn't pass, do you think the prosecutors would drop the charges? As far as I've heard, no one is being charged with insurrectionism, if there is indeed a statute on the books in the courts that have jurisdiction and prosecutors have filed such a charge.

    A defense attorney could argue that, "that evil commie bill passed by Congress that awarded the Medal of Honor to our men and women in blue was an evil conspiracy by the dem majority to define a tourist visit as an insurrection and since it was a tourist visit, you must acquit my client." Never mind the actual charge(s) of trespassing, failure to disperse, theft, assault, conspiracy, etc. that defendants are likely to be charged with.

    How do you define "insurrection?"
    This bill should have nothing to do with prosecuting though.  It is a medal for the officers that day. But the way you describe it is exactly what will happen now.  The bill becomes about the insurrection and not about the officers that day.

    I have said multiple times that what happened that day was an insurrection since you needed confirmation.

    No one has been charged with fomenting an insurrection nor sedition.  So why would a federal prosecutor use a congressional bill's language to accuse a defendant of insurrection?
