To me, January 6 was terrible, almost beyond words. 


It wasn’t good.   But- I had seen so much worse in terms of intent to destroy, damage, injure or kill prior to that.  And nearly all of it was premeditated.

2 wrongs don't make a right, but the Capital survived much better than a police station in Minneapolis

terrible for sure
roits by BLM or the Jan 6th

probably nothing compared to what has gone on in Ukraine

and I'm guessing the crap in Ukraine is mild compared to the devastation in Gaza

90 days of wrongs don’t make 1 day of wrongs right.

Sure puts things in relative perspective and exposes extreme biases though.

The only perspective needed is that some of you are pretending the fucking Capitol building of the United States WITH LAWMAKERS INSIDE is equivalent to a bunch of storefronts and a police station.

Disingenuous fucks.  

One reason I continue to engage in these discussions is KNOWING that I ALWAYS have the moral high ground.  
ALWAYS.

the lawmakers are just as dirty as the cops

the rioters are no better in either group

you're pretending that the electoral vote was overturned and Trump was handed the office

imo, democracy and the processed wasn't even seriously threatened

I mean sure, but gee whiz live in reality guys and don't just pretend him claiming everything was rigged or an assault on the election was just something everyone does every year.

Your timing is wrong. Bob Mueller wasn't appointed as special counsel until May 2017, six months after Hillary Clinton was out of politics. And if you're buying the idea that Republican AG Jeff Sessions was under the control of the Clintons, well, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for you.

Need I remind you that Donald Trump was impeached. Twice. It's the Senate Republican caucus that lacked the spine to get rid of Trump on two separate occasions.
I know all about the timing. Sessions was just another swamp rat. He proved as much.

It was a BS effort bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and it cost close to $40 Million dollars of our money. 
This is more a quirk of phrasing, but buying something implies you paid for it.

Jan 6 apologia remains a deeply resonant and odd reminder of our tribalism.

well, Trump claiming crazy things has been happening for decades
he just happened to be President that year
Obviously, most Presidents or candidates don't claim such stuff

absolutely, but it could happen again if Trump is elected

why would the Republicans put him on the ballot?
