Cut through the bullshit here.
Where is the arrest and the indictments, Paul as to Gaetz. You are talking about air. Not reality.
Typical of a “conspiracy theorist”.

My question remains; why ask for preemptive pardons if you are innocent.

And speaking of insurrections, they tried it today in Brazil.
The losing candidate, former president, (like Trump) alleges still the election was stolen.

So, mimicking Trump's disgraceful actions in January 2021, did not attend the inauguration of the new president, with the traditional passing of the presidential sash...indication a peaceful transition of power.
Like Trump couldn't be bothered with the basic decency of attending the inauguration, didn't greet the new president/first lady, didn't have new first lady to tea, did not invite former president to the White House for portrait unveiling...basically acted like a spoiled little bully. Ran off to his golf club.

The Brazilian guy ran off to Mar-a-Lago rather than attend the ceremonies. Maybe they are comparing loser notes. Or, he's also like Trump under investigation...maybe he's hiding our from their justice system.

All of the flags are backwards. They were actually running away.

I don't see Ray Epps, the scaffold commander, or any of the Feds that have been documented leading the charge in this photo either - so yes, #fakenews

Also, I don't see Nancy Pelosi asking for any type of help from the Capitol Police.

(it was NEVER an "insurrection"). "

Are you an election denier as well? Then why are all these defendants pleading guilty to trump judges. I know they are stupid morons but why plead guilty if they did nothing wrong. Anyway, now McCarthy has given up so many concessions, your party is led by Greene, Gaetz, Boebert, and a bunch of extreme right wing whackadoo's.

Great, so we agree there were multiple Insurrections in 2017 and esp 2020? Or are you intellectually dishonest? Challenged?

This BS from idiots like you about an “Insurrection” needs to stop. It was at best a riot.

Edit: thanks for the picks. I know it’s not a Leftist Insurrection because I see American flags. If it was your side I’d see plenty of Soviet flags and Che T-shirts. Commies, no wonder you’re whining about the protests in Brazil…

I answered before but you just rejected it out of hand. That’s on you, not me.
Where are the arrests or indictments?
Conspiracy theories out of whole cloth.

[paulxu]

Congressmen asking for preemptive pardons for their actions leading up to and on January 6th because of "politicized FBI and IRS."

That sounded like a conspiracy theory out of whole cloth, so I didn't take it seriously. My bad.

For the last time: Where are the arrests and Indictments???
No answer. Crickets…….
