Who's quibbling? You falsely claimed Trump told his mob to peacefully protest. He said no such thing. You lied again.Well, no, he said he assumed they would be peaceful. He didn't instruct them to be peaceful...They felt otherwise. They stormed the Capitol to "stop the steal." Trump told them to stop the steal and so they tried. That means stopping Biden from being certified as the president and declaring Trump as president.They could have taken lawmakers as hostages and held them for ransom unless they declared Trump as president. That would have failed anyway but they weren't the brightest bulbs.It's amazing and almost humorous that these wingnuts think that they're going to gaslight the world into believing that the Jan. 6 attempt to overthrow democracy was just a harmless group of people that did nothing more than trespass.
It's not going to work. We know what we saw:
An extremely violent mob of several thousand people attempting to stop the certification of the freely and legally elected President in order to force the continuation of Trump's Presidency. It was an insurrection against Democracy and against America.
The fact that they did not have any firearms does not change the lethal nature of their attack. We CAN assume that if they had succeeded in getting to Congress they would have murdered at several Congresspeople and the vice-President. There is no reason to assume otherwise.
All those who participated deserve a minimum of 5 years in prison, and the worst of them should get at least 25 years.
Again, what mechanism that they could have applied with the tools and numbers on hand could have led to an overthrow of the government?
Then they could have been charged with kidnapping, and the government would still have not fallen.
And there was no mechanism for Trump to be declared the winner anyway.
Trump told them to peacefully protest, you left that part out.
"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
He also told them to "fight like hell" and "stop the steal."
If all you got is quibbling like this, you ain't got shit.
And if fight like hell is fighting words...
Clinton Fundraising: We Have to Fight Like Hell to Beat Trump
Are you in? Your donation is about more than money. It’s your way of saying you’re ready to fight like hell to make sure Donald Trump never becomes president (and when you make your first donation today, we’ll send you a free sticker so you can show off your Team Hillary pride).
And who believed Clinton meant to be violent like Trump's mob did?
He spoke, using the term peaceful. He told them.
So when Nelson said "England expects that every man will do his duty" he wasn't telling them?
