Ex-Proud Boy Testifies Group Sought ‘All-Out Revolution’ in Capitol Riot

[Ralph Norton]

You always run into the same problem Marty......the one that most 3 year olds figure out by the time they're 4.

That would make them 4 year olds.
Good job.

 

[Lastamender]

I would have to eat crow. Which I know you would never do, since you have no honor. You'll always be the victim.

You know nothing about honor. hack.

 

[Catsnmeters]

Yes, a mechanism is needed to accuse people of a coup, or an insurrection, or sedition.

That mechanism is already defined...

"an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and take control of their country, usually by violence."

insurrection

1. an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and…

You asked, Q.

If you don't like my answer, tough shit.

We know why they pleaded guilty. Threats and intimidation by the fascists running things,

The only threat, was of convicting them, and sending them to jail.

My interest in politics, strangely enough, isn't even political. It's sociological. And I try to look for historical sociological comparisons for this time.

It's difficult to find any that are not pretty grim, and that don't end poorly for pretty much everyone.

There has to be a bottom. There has to be a point at which enough key people say enough, before it's too late. But it doesn't appear that we're even close to that.

There is. Most of these guys are old, old white guys.....Trump's age or within 10 years. The world has changed around them and no longer offers the same level of deference or privilege it did in the past. They feel vulnerable and want to feel powerful again, like when they were younger.

Its what makes the Make America Great Again ideology so attractive to them. They want a restoration of when they had control, when they could impose their views onto an unwilling minority.

But they're old. And the attrition of time will weed out a lot of this unearned sense of entitlement.

Lame hack is lame hack.

I assume you mean that there will be fewer of them for the overall group to have to much influence. Surely many of them are younger, too. Look at MTG and Boebert and the other Talk Radio True Believers.

Yes. The insurrection failed. We are lucky our representatives chose to overlook potential harm from radicalized Trump supporters, and got back to work performing their constitutional obligation after the failed insurrection.

Dodged the question
At days end congress had been impeded and unable to complete absolutely nothing.

Bullshit. There is a man in jail right now beaten so badly he has lost sight in one eye. Tell me how that happens in a DC jail.

 

[Skylar]

What's the old saying -- "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".

They're conditioned to squeeze every last possible thing into their strict, insulated worldview. No matter how absurd. They're always the victims, the other guy is always bad, Satan Hitler Commie.

Tedious.

I think 'every accusation is a confession' covers it nicely.

As what they are accusing other folks of doing.....is what they're trying to justify

You guys hold hands when you project together?

Let me guess, Rhodes?

Ask Jeffrey Epstein.

 

[WEATHER53]

Obama never attacked a single cop.

Your ilk injured dozens. All to try and violently overthrow a lawful election and impose your right wing power that the people never granted you.

No thank you. Your delusions don't justify anything your ilk did.

In the famous beer garden make up Obama called police “frequently stupid” a few days beforehand

Why is what I say a conspiracy? This should be good.

 

[Skylar]

Ask Jeffrey Epstein.

Are they still trying to blame Clinton on that?

 

[Skylar]

In the famous beer garden make up Obama called police “frequently stupid” a few days beforehand

Yeah, that's the same as beating cops by the dozen in a brazen assault on the capitol.
