    So, it seems, you are repeating Russian propaganda. How is that working out for you?
    Biden declared it was worse when he added that at least during the Civil War no insurrectionists invaded the capitol.

    Fail better.

      For those of you who have forgotten, 9/11 was when Islamic terrorists caused the Twin Towers in NYC to collapse killing thousands, crashed a jet into the Pentagon and Flight 93 crashing in Pennsylvania as passengers fought back.

      January 6th saw some rioting that was rather mild compared to much of the rioting and looting American cities were subjected to last year. Oh. And some folks wandered through the capitol building.

      And yet over on MSNBC's Deadline: White House two days ago you had Paul Rieckhoff, a regular guest on the network and president of what he calls "Righteous Media Inc." hysterically warned

      It’s not Al-Qaeda, it’s not ISIS, it’s not Iran, it’s domestic extremism. Osama bin Laden never took over the Capitol, these people did, and many of them are still out there.


      Indeed. One of them even represents New York's 14th congressional district.

      What? Oh.

      Apparently when left-wingers storm the capitol like they did during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, and another time when an AOC-led mob besieged the Speaker of the House's offices, that's different. Even though, IIRC, both resulted in a lot more arrests than January 6th for the exact same type of offenses.

      Don't forget the liberals actually BOMBED the Capitol in 1983, and one of them, Susan Rosenberg was pardoned by Clinton and is a leader in the BLM.

      And in 1971, the Weather Underground, another leftist group set off a bomb in the Capitol.

        I posted several attacks on the Capitol, including several bombings from those on the left and the Puerto Rican separatists who entered the building and shot and wounded six Congressmen (one critically) before being stopped when I first posted about old Joe comparing the Jan. 6th riot to the Civil War (where at least no insurrectionists entered the capitol!!1! )

        Old Joe is confused.

        Old Joe is wrong.

        Just off the top of my head...

        What about the Puerto Rican separatists that entered the House of Representatives in the '50s and opened fire on the Congressmen, shooting five -- one seriously?

        What about the guy (a university professor I believe) who set off a bomb consisting of a couple of sticks of dynamite inside the capitol to protest WWI? Fortunately the Senate chambers, where he wanted to put the bomb, was locked, so he stuck it in a nearby closet so when it exploded nobody was hurt.

        What about the bombing of the Capitol's north wing during the 80s in protest to protest our involvement in Lebanon? Fortunately nobody was injured but only because the Senate adjourned earlier than expected.

        What about when a man stormed the Capitol in an attempt to assassinate the House Majority Whip at the time, Tom DeLay (R-TX), killing two Capitol Police officers before being subdued? IIRC, that was when Clinton was president.

        And of course, most recently, what about the angry mob that stormed the Capitol during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing? Their behavior even caused now VP Kamala Harris to tell her fellow travelers "We will not be bullied" and resulted in hundreds being arrested after swarming into the Senate buildings and galleries, including the Russell Senate Office Building rotunda. Moreover, a couple of them even forcibly entered an elevator with then Senator Jeff Flake, refusing to let the elevator move or Flake exit, in order to physically intimidate him into asking for the FBI to do yet another investigation (which found nothing) and delaying the process for several days. The MSM hailed that confrontation where he was likely in far greater danger than AOC and her drama queen act ever was (not even being in the same building), which the same media was incredibly sympathetic toward.


        ETA: And how can I forget this

        aoc-51-protesters-arrested-2018.jpg

        The same clown who captivated everyone with her tale of being terrorized by the Jan. 6 protestors -- even though they were in a different building



        And later noted that forgot one insurgent invasion -- yet another leftist bombing attack. This time by the Weather Underground during the Vietnam War.

          When the left does it, it is civil disobedience and protesting injustice. When the right does it, it is insurrection and terrorism.

            You forgot "totally understandable" when the left does it.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              NPR just changed their policy about their reporters participating in protesting but only if it is for "the freedom and dignity of human beings."


              The cynic in me thinks the only things that will be termed supporting "the freedom and dignity of human beings" will only include liberal causes. For instance, anyone care to bet that protesting in support of an unborn baby's right to life will not be considered for "the freedom and dignity of human beings."

                    I'm just unhappy that you're representing the radical dangerous loony right,.

                    But, quite honestly, I think you even embarrass the reasonable right quite often.

                        Not to mention how many times you heard "that's what insurance is for" and "looting is reparations" as well.

                                What are you eating, drinking, or smoking that has caused you to regress so far, and be such a goofus?

                                It's like you're trying to be witty or something, but you're like a 3 year old just reversing what somebody else says and throwing it back at them, even though it's clearly not applicable.

                                You are becoming a hybrid of Trump and Biden.
