No Special Master As DOJ Drops Bombshell 40 Page Ruling Obstruction By Trump Team

'Novel' defines a group of coronaviruses.....




You need to call out all of the lies this idiot provides as facts and claims "everyone" knows it. Yet he never provides any proof that he has talked with "everyone", just goes on making stuff up.
 
If they were so determined and dangerous why did they not bring firearms?

Let me assure you Trump supporters have plenty of firearms and ammo.

Be aware I support PEACEFUL demonstrations but not riots. However to say the Trump supporters were ready for war but were unarmed is silly at the best.

Some did.
 
Some did.
Plus they had a huge stash of weapons just across the river waiting to be used if needed. The Capitol Police practiced unbelievable restraint when faced with against these terrible odds. If they had just shot them all down as they tried to enter the Capitol I'm sure all those other weapons would have came into play. Common sense was practiced by the Capitol Police.

True. At least 13 people were armed. Three were arrested the night before the riot and one individual had two hi-cap magazines but apparently no pistol.

I find it hard to beleive that 13 armed individuals could have overthrown the government of the United States.


The January 6 insurrection wasn’t explicitly billed as a Second Amendment event. But the specter of guns was everywhere: on the flags flown by rioters, in the insurrectionist theory they espoused, and the tactical gear they donned. And in some cases, despite Washington, D.C.’s unusually strict gun laws, which require firearms to be registered with local police, the Trump supporters who gathered at the U.S. Capitol were armed.

As of now, at least 13 people have been hit with illegal gun possession charges stemming from the riot, according to an analysis of arrest recordsand court documents. Two of them were detained after police noticed a bulge under their clothing. Three people were arrested the night before the riot. Another person, Proud Boys’ leader Enrique Tarrio, was found in possession of two large-capacity magazines when police arrested him for another crime on January 4. Because Tarrio planned on going to the rally, we included him in our tally.

However to be fair you have to understand the Washington Metropolitan Police Department recovers illegal handguns everyday.

It wasn't the weapons that gave them the ability to overthrow the government. It was the sheer size of the crowd. Fortunately, only about a thousand actually went inside the Capitol. Had that mob surrounding it also stormed in, there's nothing police could have done. As it was, police struggled with just the ones who did go in or tried to go in.

You are referring to people who knew it was illegal to carry firearms in Washington D.C. but had weapons with them. They just left them in Virginia where carrying firearms is not illegal.

Summary of Virginia Gun Laws​

Virginia is a shall-issue state. For residents, applications are filed with the circuit court in their county of residence, and non-residents must mail their application to the State Police.

There is no permit or firearms registration required when buying a handgun from a private individual, provided the buyer and seller are both Virginia residents. However, based on SB70/HB2 being signed into law, as of July 1, 2020, all sales are required to be completed through a dealer who must submit a background check. Additionally, a one handgun per month purchase restriction is now in effect, although concealed carry permit holders are exempt.

Open carry is legal in Virginia without a permit for anyone who is at least 18 years old who can legally possess a firearm. However, Localities, such as Alexandria and Newport News may ban the open carry of firearms in public buildings, parks and at special events.

Concealed carry is legal for residents with a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) and non-residents with any valid state license/permit. Virginia CHPs are issued to both residents and non-residents at least 21 years old and require a state-approved firearms training course and demonstrated competence with the firearm. Some areas are off-limits, including airport terminals and places of worship during services. In addition, municipalities may ban guns in government buildings and areas such as public parks, recreation or community centers, and outdoor areas being used during permitted events. In terms of reciprocity, Virginia honors all out-of-state concealed carry permits.

Had that mob surrounding it also stormed in, there's nothing police could have done. As it was, police struggled with just the ones who did go in or tried to go in.
And since they didn't bring that stash of weapons with them that was the plan all along just to simply overwhelmed the police and force their way into the Capitol. If these were foreign enemies they would have been shot down but since they were misguided Americans, they were treated much nicer.
 
Trump demanded a warp speed vaccine. Traditional vaccines take 10 to 15 years to develop. That's why they had no choice but to choose a non-traditional method. It's still quite effective, but no cure; and with all medications of course there are side effects. Minimal in this case.
Some side effects have caused death.

The police were armed. If there had been a actual threat the Capitol would fall to the rioters the police could have opened fire and held off the rioters until the National Guard arrived.

There was no need to employ lethal force against the rioters as there was no chance they would take over the building.

In passing Trump had authorized National Guard troops to protect the Capitol days before the riot.

Um, police did have to resort to lethal force at one point to keep the mob at bay. Rightards have been screaming, "murder!" ever since.

Lethal force was deemed warranted and acceptable when the mob attempted to break into the chamber where political officials were still present. Simple rioters don't usually chant death threats. That's something terrorists do.

Why do you hate America?

I have no problem with the Capitol Police using lethal force to stop rioters from taking over the Capitol and killing our elected representatives. The fact lethal force was not used by most officers shows that the rioters never reached the stage where it was necessary.

The one time lethal force was used was to shoot and kill an unarmed woman. Opinions vary on if the shooting was justified.



As I have noted before I am in favor of peaceful demonstrations but not riots.

The Ashley Babbit shooting is debatable. Both sides have valid pints to make.


 
I love how many on the right were all it an utter disgrace for Hillary to have classified documents and wipe over 30,000 of unknown off an unsecured server. But suddenly they are it is an perfectly fine for Trump to have classified documents.
The hypocrisy is just completely astonishing
The President is much different than the subordinates, such as the Secretary of state.

One could say the President is the boss of the executive branch and thus has power and priviledge nobody else in the executive branch has

There is an old saying that goes just because one can, does not mean one should.

Unfortunately he took those documents on January 20th., 2021. He was no longer president. Biden was.
