[QUOTE=XU_Lou;734107]Bobbie - Which was worse, the mostly violent insurrection of Jan 6 that was highly assisted and encouraged by the proud boys and oath keepers, OR, the attack on Ft. Sumter?
Check your history. Nobody died at Ft. Sumter, and no idea why you interjected it into the conversation. A republican was President.

Joe Biden refused to condemn the demonstrators at Catholic Churches and outside Supreme Court Justices houses today.
By failing to stand up to the far Left mobs targeting Supreme Court Justices at their homes, Joe Biden is either the most cowardly president in US history, or he actively supports mob rule and efforts to undermine democracy. It is probably a combination of both.

That would appear to be very Insurrectionny.
I anxiously await the Congressional Hearings about May 8.

Another pot calling the kettle black type of post.

I have zero idea what you mean?
Biden is silent. Bad things are happening. Can we now not post truth?
Just reporting the facts. Sorry you don’t like them.
I suppose you think it’s OK to demonstrate in front of Judges houses to pressure them to rule one way while ignoring the US Constitution and to intimidate Catholic Church worshippers who have no reason to be harrassed for practicing their faith? If this happened to Muslims, the mainstream media would be outraged. Now just crickets.
Hmmmmmm.
Maybe you should send Joe Biden an email stating your position.

Trump's lawyer, McConnell and McCarthy:
"Yet, the question before us is not whether there was a violent insurrection of the Capitol. On that point everyone agrees."

Always a problem with the facts here.

“It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next", McConnell said.

Asked Wednesday about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) description of the riot as a “violent insurrection,” McCarthy said he agreed.

“No one would disagree with that,” McCarthy told reporters.

Your Llibertarians:

“This is not patriotism. This is not protesting. This is reprehensible violence and aggression and needs to stop now. We hope safety for all those who work in the Capitol.”

Yes, we agree. You and those you mentioned have problems with “facts”.

You said that Biden is the weakest president ever because he did not condemn protests on Abortion. I am not a Biden fan by any means (hopefully 1 and done as president) but how is he any weaker than Trump who didn’t condemn Jan 6th? This is why I said the pot calling the kettle black. Both parties are at fault but people seem to take sides instead of calling them both out. I think it is OK to peaceful protest as granted by the first amendment. If protest such as BLM or Jan 6th go beyond the rights of the first amendment, they should be condemned and justice should be served to all the individuals who broke the laws. Both parties are guilty of this but none of them face any sort of scrutiny. Why? Because they can hide behind their base of extreme right and left wing supporters including Fox, CNN, etc who will justify this behavior by blaming the other side.

Trump strongly condemned the BLM riots, possibly to his political detriment. Trump also strongly attempted to closed the border from illegal immigration. Trump strongly came out as pro life in his administration. Trump never encouraged people to break down barricades on January 6 but urged peaceful protest. The January 6 Commission is another witch hunt as was the Russian Collusion one was- by the same Adam Schifty people.
Biden is cowardly and weak on all of those points. He is a puppet who barely knows where he is and parrots whatever is on his teleprompter.
Or he believes that violent protests, mob rule and Supreme Court subversion is how the country should operate.
Supreme Court subversion is pretty Insurrectionny.

Phan, Bobbie and Paul are killing me. The country is going to hell - fast, and you guys are freaking obsessed with J6? Give me a freaking break.

Inflation is raging, the economy is on the precipice of recession (or worse), there are looming food shortages, the supply chain is not improving, there are already baby formula shortages, there are constant attacks on free speech, and the freaking idiots in the Whitehouse are hell bent on starting WWIII - and by all means, so that they can get their revenge on Putin because they still believe he helped get Trump elected.

Good God, freaking admit it, the idiot you guys voted for is a total and complete imbecile. Even Obama said so.

This is hilarious. Nobody is saying Joe Biden is a good president. Saying Joe Biden is a bad president doesnÂ’t mean Trump is a good president. The both suck buddy. ItÂ’s like rooting for either UC or Dayton. Both choices suck. Trump from his sex scandal, to his bankruptcies, to his business dealings, to Russia, to Jan 6th, wonÂ’t release his taxes, stop the steal etc is all just a witch hunt right? DidnÂ’t Trump support the Democratic Party at one time? I believe he was friends with the Clintons if I am not mistake. Hell, Trump even bashed John McCain who in my opinion was one of the best politicians in my lifetime and mocked his services even though Trump himself dodged the draft. Seems like a lot of smoke for their not to be a fire. Not sure the average American has that much smoke surrounding them. At some point when you are surrounded by smoke you got to ask yourself what is burning. You and Lou just donÂ’t seem to get that people are fed up with both parties. Yes I said it, both parties suck. America is going to hell because people like you from the extreme left and right support and defend these political idiots. They both suck dude. Stop being the downfall of this country.

Trump: -No new wars started under his administration.
-Lowered taxes causing an economic boom.
-Low inflation
- The Abraham Accords
- Defeated ISIS
-Lowest minority unemployment in history
-Appointed qualified Followers of the Constitution to the Supreme Court and didn’t virtue signal.
- Russia and a “Ukrainian influence call” re Hunter Biden were a hoax.
- Policies caused a real wage increase after inflation.
-Made America energy independent.
- Shamed NATO countries into actually spending their fair share on defense. Which, by the way, is helping to stop Russian aggression.

That is a damn good four year record for a “bad president”. A helluva lot better than 8 years of Charlatan Obama and this ludicrous period of Potemkin Biden.
You are who is hilarious with your attempts to fence sit. I deal in Reality.
