    The "Capitol Storm" on the other hand was about pure partisan politics and the influence of a populist President who advanced conspiracy theory to enrage his supporters on falsely patriotic grounds.
    When you want to "donate" to BLM through their website, their link sends you to ActBlu which is a front for the democrats.
    That makes them political because that "service" wasn't available to the Republicans, only and just to, Democrats.
    Don't shoot your mouth off about something you don't know.
    BLM is a pet project of the democrats, so it IS political.

    So the attack on republicans and Trump supporters last summer was not politically motivated? Fascinating.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    I disagree WHO I think BLM partnered with the democrat party who defended and encouraged their actions up to and including riots and refused to stop them while citizens lived in fear. I mean I get that they are Marxist Anarchist ( if that's even possible to be) who don't necessarily like any whites including dems but they partnered with them. IMO BLM has no real interest in helping blacks as evidenced by their ridiculous rejection of family structure ( one of the main tools that impovershed groups always use to rise out of poverty.

    I think both the summer riots and the Capital Storm happened for the same reason because people felt like they had no voice. Government buildings and officials were damaged or taken or threatened in both cases.

    Lastly, it shouldn't realy matter the actions were dangerous and wrong and should have been stopped. Imagine if the Capitaol Police had been ordered to pull out and leave the elites vulnerable in the same way the inner city poor were left vulnerable this summer?

    Same goes for the police function in dozens of cities this summer. Mayors with options left citizens unprotected for political gain. I suppose the ultimate charges might vary but the support and refusal to stop the riots should not have.

    One of the reasons the dems backed off on witnesses is because the first two would be Pelosi and Mayor Bowser who were both warned ahead of time but turned down National Guard help.

    I was going to post this very statement - except the part after "...". I'm not sure that was their intent. I know that they wanted to stop the certification, beyond that I don't think even they knew.

    They would have overturned the election if they had found it. Luckily, it wasn't there.
