I don't think you're understanding the difference here. The insurrectionists, at the direction of the sitting US President, were attempting to block the certification of a free and fair election. They were chanting to hang the sitting VP. They were trying to hunt down the Speaker of the House. How does this not qualify as an attack on our democracy?

I'm beginning to see that perhaps some are uninformed or deliberately ignorant about anything except the "riot" itself, which they like to analogize to a BLM protest.

this is really boring and overhyped.  Most of the country doesn't care about topic, I'd say a 3 hour special on inflation would get more eyeballs.  Or a bikini contest.

I know.  Here's my obvious point: will the "The Manhattan self-proclaimed Billionaire talks just like me" crown realize that the Chair, in fact, talks just like them?

Can I ask, are you posting this as a serious response or are you simply attempting to amuse yourself with a little trolling?

the information and how they act on it relies solely on which side is helped/hurt by the incident itself.

we live in a world of alternative facts.  fox news isn't covering this with a pro-trump angle.  they're not covering this at all.  that's the difference.

This right here.  Fox News is currently talking about Biden’s late night performance the other night and how he is senile.  Nothing about the hearing.  Says it all really.

Those of you trying to reason with the trolls, knock it the fuck off. This was a good thread before they showed up. You know who they are, you know what they are here for, don't give it to them. This is the most important hearing of our lifetimes, don't let these seditious pieces of shit derail the conversation.

@immamac  @hayden_horn Y'all need to come clean out the trash in here. It is starting to smell like Benedict Arnold's putrid corpse.

The point is not the attack on the capitol building.

The point is that the attempt was intended to disrupt the certification of a presidential election that has not been proven to be tainted or unfair, even 18 months later.  And the disruption was part of a greater scheme to ignore the results of the election and keep that fucking fat piece of shit moron in office for another four years.

Shit, if Trump had prevailed on Pence to do his bidding, the riot probably would not even have occurred.

do you feel like you're taking crazy pills? because

I don’t understand, I asked you a question and you repped my post instead of answering it.  If you are a grandfather who has been married for 40 years and you are on here doing some douchey trolling running interference on one of the darkest days of our country’s history, then it would be helpful to know that. I already know there’s absolutely no reason to ever interact with an utter simpleton like MN, but it would be useful know if you have anything more to offer.

Pay attention to the trolls. They’re running the decided-upon play, to downplay this iteration of a fascist attempt to overthrow the government. That is done to allow the same forces to make another run at it in the future, and succeed.

That’s literally how fascists do it. It’s in the history books.

The trolls you are engaging with align with and enable fascists who want to overthrow the Republic. They are as loathsome as you might imagine, and more. But they aren’t trolls who live underground. They are your neighbors, people you see walking down the streets. Just like Tutsis saw their Hutu neighbors. Until shit flipped.

Eh, they'll attack him whether he's a yankee k*ke or an uppity nigra.  It don't make a shit.

However, I think there is some merit in having a lesser-known, not "slick politician" type have a prominent role.

This is exactly why no one should ever refer to Hitler as a monster.

He was a human being. That's important.

@ChickenSandwich - Apologies, I just realized I mixed up you and @Cheeseweasel. I must have had food on the brain. You may have been a bit confused but cheese was recently complaining about the silencing / negging of decent discourse in the CR. With that said, @Cheeseweasel - is this the type of discourse that you think is missing in the CR? Or will you find a random post from @DalTxHornFan somewhere that seems fine at first glance but has negs and just blame the CR?

Oh, they’ll figure out a way to control the narrative in their own way. There is a week until the next session and I see this getting a smaller and smaller audience as each week goes by. IMO, people have already made up their mind and this that we’re seeing, as painful as it is, won’t change their mind. To me, the key will be how our newspapers present it. During Watergate it was front page headline news everyday. If tomorrow what we’ve just seen is on page 6, then you’ll see how important it is. Cheney was right though, Trump won’t live forever and at some point his followers will pay and will have to answer for their actions and loyalty to this one lying worthless, self-centered, useless piece of crap.

Little Jimmy let me ask you- why did they leave that day/night? They outnumbered police big time. If they really wanted to overthrow the election they could’ve with numbers.

Their dear leader did not follow them to sit on his throne. Ends the party quick

What we're seeing I think from DalTx is a probably conventional thing.  He doesn't like and dismisses Trump and thinks that's "good enough," while still voting GOP, because conservative, whatever the fuck that means nowadays.

The danger in that, of course, is ignoring that the GOP is 100% all-in on Trump and the idea of manipulating elections and discarding the results if they are not according to their wishes.  

These people have been empowered to consider and plan to manipulate election results and/or ignore them by the alarmingly large percentage of people who find this to be some kind of nothingburger.

I wish that were the case but the people that need to watch this aren't watching.  The MAGA idiots are watching a Fox News or Newsmax circle jerk of how this is all political theater.  And then all the morons and/or other apolitical folks are just watching their netflix or whatever else they normally do.  We are largely a country full of idiots and the idiots aren't paying attention.

I don't have the transcript but the most salient point I think alot on the Right aren't getting was summed up at the end of Cheney's remarks which was essentially- democracy's existence depends in the peaceful transfer of power and that has happened during every transfer of power in our country's history. 

Except for one.

Y'all notice we aren't even talking about the hearing anymore? 34 posts on this page, not one of which is about the substance of the hearings.

Casualties should have been in the 1000's, because the Capitol should have been properly staffed with police and National Guard who were ordered to open fire as soon as that horde breached the building.

No I didn’t.

Nothing wrong with not going to college. My mom had a chaotic childhood. Dropped out in 9th grade and left home. Same with my stepdad. Made a things financially rough for a long time but they worked hard to give us a decent life. They both never stopped learning though and know how to think critically. You can do that as well. You don’t have to like any part of Biden's policies or the democratic platform to assess the facts of November 5 to January 6. You should give it a shot

If the national guard had been positioned like they should there would have been a lot of shouting from a distance or a handful of dead motherfuckers 

 

I can’t wait to hear how it came about that there was no NG presence at the Capitol.

^ This.

In a functioning country, when terrorists attempt to decapitate the government, government forces resist and should shoot them dead. I remember listening to it happen live (we were driving back to Texas), and I yelled at the radio “you have to shoot them!” There should have been armed lines of defense at the threshold of the House and Senate chambers, and when the mob that was ACTUALLY CHANTING THEIR INTENT TO MURDER THE VICE PRESIDENT crossed the line of no return, they should have been shot dead. Just like we would do if a mob entered the White House chanting “kill the president.”

Not killing them has only encouraged them to try again.

Oh, and the elected leaders who enabled and plotted with them? A functioning country would hang them.

There will be no real consequences. They will try again. They will succeed. And the trolls here will cheer it, because they are fascists at heart. Just like Hutus happily murdered the Tutsi neighbors they waved hi to the day before.

Really? Have you watched any of the videos? Was the VP in fear of his life from a plot conceived by the POTUS in any of those other assaults? Do you subscribe to Del Rio’s dust up theory?

Enough with the trolling. I don't care if you think it's fair or not, you cannot post in this thread that things that are proven fact didn't happen. You will earn the privilege of not being able to post or see anything in daily texan or cloakroom. 

Keep this thread on topic.
