Zone1 If someone can answer me this one multiple choice question, then I will be convinced 1/6 was an insurrection

[Hang on Sloopy]

Washington was being warned for weeks from NYC and other credible law enforcement, that there was a high probability of violence and trouble on 1/6.

What would a reasonable person do?

A- Have a very short staff when they knew 100s of thousands were coming to a rally, KNOWING the high probability of violence.

B- Make sure to heed the warnings of the high probability of violence and put up big fences and have a ton of extra security, especially around the capital

This is a very simple 1/6 quiz that reveals the obvious. But please change my mind.

Pelosi and DC's mayor refused to allow national guard troops to be staged in the city... Trump asked them more than once and they said no even though the capitol cops were short staffed that day... They are to blame not Trump....
They wanted this to happen... and it did...

The answer is B. Which was done but not adequately…

Your question has only to do with security and preparation… it has nothing to do with whether it was an insurrection or not.

Do you know what the definition of insurrection is? Read that and then observe what happened that day.

No use going around in circles again and just creating a deeper clusterefuk. Here's wot is!

The handling of the threat had to be a miraculous success story for America or for any country being threated by a coup. It would still qualify as a failed bloodless attempted coup even though a few Americans got their bullet or their fatal heart attack, what the fk ever?

Compare that to Cuba's success story in which lots of heads literally rolled and guv went south!

Your premises are based on false and misleading information, constructed in to narratives that have implied conclusions.

So you mean they should have known how violent Republicans are

It was a violent uprising against our government… simple as that. The textbook definition of insurrection. The degree of which was absolutely on the lesser side of the spectrum. Doesn’t change what it was

C have 200+ FBI Agents in the crowd posing as MAGA, inciting people to enter the building, coordinate with Pelosi and Capitol police to enter the build

See the little girl in my SIG? she posted a parody of AOC on Face book but had to take it down because she
recieved Death Threats from Democrat voters...

I think violence follows the human race no matter what tag they wear, but the percentage of rally attendees on Jan 6
who were actually violent was very small. Most people were just there to protest and that in itself is protected by the law and not an insurrection.

And it was beautifully handled!
In fact there was never any question when he sat home and watched his lieutenants put on the stage show.

Compare that to the river of Batista blood in the real thing.

Comrads Fidel and Che should have had live t.v. too.

Does nothing to excuse the violence that injured 140 Capitol Police Officers and killed several people

Trump caused it

Yes an insurrection is an armed revolt to depose of a sitting government, not an unarmed mostly peaceful protest against election rigging.

If you want to blame a politician for violence because he held a LEGAL rally and is an outspoken person, wether he was RIGHT or WRONG,
Then you have to blame every politician, each time they say something that effects large numbers of people and people die or buildings burn.

They dont care. This a political HeyDay for them.

Bullshit conspiracy theory that’s not proven. Get a life

Stop! Qualify the statement as true for the number of gov agents there, but not their activities.

I would up the ante to at least 500 agents on the premises but kept out of sight on account of the need to not show signs of any intentions on escalating to violence. Real violence! Not just one female enraged crackpot stepping over the line.

Yet you can’t show a definition to back your statement up. Shocking

And whether you like it or not. The insurrectionists did have weapons, just not guns, but there’s not requirement anywhere for there to be guns in order to have an insurrection. And they were trying to stop the transfer of power which is exactly the type of action that fits the definition of the word. Youre done

Yes of course the claim that hundreds of FBI agents were inciting the violence is complete crap. We all saw what happened. Their presence doesn’t matter, their actions do. These crackpots take a nugget and then spin it into a web of lies.

And now we find out Officer Byrd premeditated and planned the murder of unarmed protestor Ashli Babbitt

There is such a thing as incitement to riot
Trump fired them up, made a brief statement about being peaceful and then fired them up some more

Most incriminating….once his mob turned violent, Trump made no effort to contain or de escalate.
He even called his VP unAmerican
Hang Mike Pence
