Ya think dogshitt?  That really is breaking news!  Congratulations!  Here's more breaking news - no legitimate, rational Conservative will ever argue that FoxNews isn't a mouthpiece for the Republican Party.  Ad is the NY Post and The Washington Times.  Just like CNN, MSNBC, PBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the majority of the remaining MSM are mouthpieces for the Democrats.  But unlike the Democrat propagandists, Conservative news outlets don't lie to nearly the same extent.  And that's a fact.  But I you want to debate it, I'll gladly kick your ass and leave you humiliated with your tail between your legs.  Might be best for you to take the "L" and live to fight another day.

1/6 was a terrible day.  I've said this all along.  But the Democrat response was far more serious and concerning.  They lied about what happened, and used their political power to imprison political opponents in an unfair and disproportionate manner.  That is a fact and cannot be denied.  If you fail to recognize that, it shows me what your morals are.  And I don't care how you try to spin it.  I see right through it, as do most Conservatives.

They haven't really shifted.  They still work in the best interest of their corporate-government alliance, also known as fascism.  They were fascist then and they are fascist today.  What changed more is how we define liberal and conservstive.  Fascist is probably being too nice, as we secretly brought in over a thousand red-blooded Nazis from Germany after the war, and instead of hanging them, we gave the jobs inside our intelligence agencies, in our media, and at Universities under the program Operation Paperclip.

I saw those gallows.  They were a mock up, political theater, no more dangerous than a hand drawn picture of a gun, and nobody was hanged as I recall.  

Rabid monkeys climb much better.  They were calling out names, no question, and I believe they did so to intimidate the named people. Your implication that the vice president is a person of significance I might dispute while acknowledging her office has significance if the president passes. Some Police Officers were assaulted.  The implication that many were seriously wounded is hyperbole.  A few sustained injuries.  I delineate between wounds and injuries.  I think you do as well when you are not trying to sell a narrative you have taken to heart. The democratic process was indeed delayed.  I found the whole incident disgraceful.

I do not sweep it under the table, rather I like to look at it in the cold light of day and not through a media or partidsan politcal filter.  I watched live on T.V. that day.  Nothing I have seen since has really added to my understanding of what I processed in the moment.  

I do agree it was an ugly, disgraceful display.  Paroxisms of ignorance manipulated by the narcisistic ego of a venal man.

So, we now have indisputable video evidence of the violent attacks of Capitol Police on innocent, freedom loving, peaceful protesters.

They used military force and shot and killed unthreatening citizens. Mitch McConnell was wearing Rambo fatigues while firing into the crowd.

They used biological weapons, China virus. Pelosi was tossing Molotov cocktails with her empty liquor bottles. 

They used chemical weapons, tear gas. Pete was practicing for future train derailments. 

And used vicious, trained, attack animals. From what I understand, a found footage documentary is being released any day now called Cocaine Bear. Many naked asses were humped by bear d!ck that day. Adam Schiff was first in line.

It actually surprises me as well.  I guess I didn't want to believe:

1. That Liberals were so focking dishonest, corrupt and immoral; and 
2. That Liberals had attained such a vice-grip on power within society

Having one of these is bad.  Having both of these is intolerable.  And intolerable situations - by nature - must be resolved, one way or another.

An awful lot of Conservatives, like me, didn't like Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 election results.  And the vast majority of Conservatives, like me, were sickened by what we saw on 1/6.  As a Conservative, I hate mob violence.  I respect the rule of law and revere our national landmarks.  I'm all for prosecuting those who acted violently or damaged Capitol property, just like we did to Liberal protesters during the Summer of Love (sarcasm).  But Liberals went well beyond this.   Democrat leadership completely misrepresented what actually happened that day, and the liberal MSM was more than happy to puppet these lies relentlessly .  Armed insurrection?  My ass.  Flagpoles aren't "arms" retards.  Insurrection?  Uh, no.  January 6th was no more an insurrection than when BLM protesters torched a police station and federal building.  Pro tip to our mentally challenged friends in here - an insurrection is an attempt to seize power.  That wasn't the intent here, and everyone with half a brain knows it.  The ironic reality is that it was the Liberals who actually tried to seize power with the events of 1/6.  They impeached a President, pumped Americans full of relentless propaganda that was either false or misleading, and worst of all - sent nonviolent Conservative protesters to prison for up to 4 years.  And today we found out that that Democrats sent these people to prison while intentionally suppressing the release of videos that basically exonerated the Q-Anon Shaman and others of any offense beyond trespassing.  Let's just cut through the bullshitt shall we?  This is the textbook definition of a corrupt government taking political prisoners.  In America.  In 2023.

The fact that most Liberals don't recognize the seriousness of this is not surprising.  A lot of well-intentioned Liberals, none of whom exist in this forum, have any idea what's actually going on, or how much of a threat Liberal ideology is to our Constitutional principles.  In a way these people are victims.  Since birth they've been brainwashed by the educational, media, sports, and the entertainment industries.  These bullhorns of society have incessintly pumped toxic Liberal beliefs into their minds, framed these beliefs as moral and just, and in many cases lied about what actually happened.

This story is a big wake-up call for Conservatives.  Liberals are more corrupt, their power-base more entrenched, and their political philosophies more at odds with America's Constitutional principles than we ever wanted to believe.  I was hoping the Liberal problem would go away after Trump left office.  That didn't happen.  Instead it got worse, and brought to light their true intentions.  It's actually a sad day, because I know what this portends.  In short, I just can't see any way that this Liberal problem can be resolved through our traditional political process. Liberals have established too many monopolies within American society, and history has shown that monopolies never relinquish power unless they are forced to.  We have laws in place to enforce business monopolies, but there's nothing in place to deal with the type of monopoly we are seeing here.  To sum it all up, we have an intolerable situation - one that doesn't seem to be resolvable through traditional means. That ain't good folks.

These are just talking points, spewed ad nauseum by right wing talk radio, Fox, etc. And then recited here. Almost every assumption you begin with is provably false, and you take those false assumptions and just start rambling based on them. It’s brain dead claptrap.

If you engage your brain for 5 minutes, you’ll realize that the REAL wake-up call for conservatives was the 2022 red drip. Biden’s popularity was quite low, and yet Republicans failed to do what was expected: win a big majority. The reason? The Trump-affiliated crazies, and the ones that are even crazier. They lost, BIGLY. Herschel Walker lost in a state that Brian Kemp won. Dr. Oz, a Trump acolyte, lost to a guy that just had a stroke.

If the Republicans continue on the path they are on, 2024 will give Democrats a supermajority. They need to take out the trash.

Or you could just vent about how evil liberals are and elect the people who focus on “owning” them. Worked great in 2020 and 2022.

He posted videos of Officer Sidnick looking spry and healthy after the riot was over. He posted various videos of the Shaman being escorted through the building by police. Neither of which were seen before for obvious reasons.

I do agree that every network, every defendant, and every person with curiosity of what happened that day should have access to these videos. I'm open the the idea that some very limited redacting may be needed.

So Tucker handpicks the videos he wants you to see and you watch it like the sheep you are.

 

Jesus Christ guys. They've had dozens and dozens and dozens of trials with prosecuting videos to accompany them and the criminals admitting in open court that they did exactly what the videos said they did.  Most of them had some version of 'trump lied to us" as part of their statement. But again, almost all of them have admitted exactly what they did including with shaman. 

 

But yeah, Tucker is going to cherry pick 9 seconds of video and you're going to eat it up like oatmeal. Despite the fact that there is video there are still pictures there are eyewitnesses, and there are the defendants themselves admitting an open court what they did.

 

To wit:

During Wednesday's hearing, Kimberly Paschall, a prosecutor, played a video of Chansley howling while inside Congress to underscore the severity of his actions on Jan. 6.

 

"Time's up you motherf---- !" Chansley shouted.

 

Paschall, referring to the video, told Lamberth: "Your honor, that is chilling."

 

Chansley's lawyer asked for a sentence below the federal guidelines, citing the defendant's "sincere remorse for his conduct," and the mental illness which has plagued him for years.

 

Chansley cited lessons from Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the Stephen King prison movie "The Shawshank Redemption," in rambling comments before he was sentenced.

 

"I am truly, truly repentant of my actions," he said.

 

But Chansley said he was not a violent man, much less a "domestic terrorist," as he admitted his crime.

"I broke the law, and if I believe in freedom, and if I believe in law and order, and I believe in responsibility, then I should do what Gandhi would do, and take responsibility," he said.

 

"I hope that you see my heart and my desire to live the life of Christ or Gandhi," Chansley told Lamberth.

 

"I make this holy vow and this sacred oath, I will never re-offend again," he added.

 

The judge said, "I think your remarks are the most remarkable I've heard in 34 years" of serving on the federal bench.

 

"I think you are genuinely remorseful," Lamberth said. "Some of those remarks are the kind that Martin Luther King would say."

 

Last week, another rioter, former New Jersey gym owner Scott Fairlamb was sentenced by Lamberth to 41 months in prison for assaulting a police officer.

 

Chansley was the first Capitol riot defendant to be indicted. Since then, more than 600 other people have been criminally charged in connection with the insurrection.

 

The tattooed Chansley was shirtless, wielding a spear, wearing face paint and a fur hat with horns when he walked into the Capitol complex with thousands of other people. The mob disrupted a joint session of Congress as lawmakers confirmed President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.

 

Then-President Donald Trump urged Republican lawmakers to vote against confirming Biden's win, and called on his supporters to march to the Capitol to promote that effort.

 

Photos and videos of Chansley in his bizarre garb went viral the day of the riot, and were widely published in the weeks afterward.

 

"He made himself the image of the riot, didn't he?" Lamberth asked Chansley's lawyer, Albert Watkins, on Wednesday.

 

Watkins agreed Chansley had done so.

 

Chansley was one of a number of rioters who entered the Senate chamber, where then-Vice President Mike Pence minutes before was presiding over proceedings.

 

 

 

Reuters reported in July that Chansley, who is also known as Jacob Angeli, was in plea negotiations with prosecutors after prison psychologists diagnosed him as suffering from mental illnesses including transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.

 

 

 

 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,644]

Yes, Tucker Carlson is a proven frequent liar, most recently shown by the Dominion voting case evidence. And yet, people believe him when he takes 1 minute of video from 40,000 hours of footage as proof that he’s a truth-teller. Dumb and dumber.

You seem to be pretty worked up about this.  

Glad to know its working.

Read up on the Colbert thing to educate yourself.  Not even close to the same thing. 

You’re right. But what Viking boy did is closer to that than the ones that did violence. And that’s not justice.

The capitol wasn't flooded with protestors and overwhlemed police when Colbert's crew went through.

So Tucker handpicks the videos he wants you to see and you watch it like the sheep you are.

 

As was done with Sandman....and then Rittenhouse....and then Jan 6th....and then the Trump "good people on both sides".

Take a look at the "coverage" of the recent move by the Biden admin to support the over rule of the DC crime law.....does that look like journalism to you?

Pointing at Tucker as the problem is not simply laughable, it is emphatic evidence that you are sheep....and are happily gobbling up the media cvm they are shooting all over your face.

The difference is that Carlson at least admits what he is.  You want Carlson to go away? I am ok with that.  Here is how you do it......

Contact CNN and tell them to stop being a schill for the Democrats, then do the same with MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC....NY Times, Washington post.....on and on.

OUR problem is not Tucker Carlson.....OUR problem is that media now protects political players based on party and doctrine affiliation......OUR problem is that journalism is very nearly extinct and with it goes OUR protection from these people.
