french people throwing a portrait of macron out of a hotel window is the same same same as people
with weapons breaking in to congress while the senate is in session chanting "hang mike pence" and
attempting to stop the certification of a duly elected president.

you keep doing you, bud. it's definitely good for a laugh!
He's just trying to trivialize his connections to the insurrectionists.

Buyer's remorse is real.

It adoesn’t matter

You can attempt as many gotchas as you want but it won’t change the fact you’re an overreacting fool for continuing to call Jan 6 an insurrection

It’s no more an insurrection than the yearly French protests are, or any of the multitudes of protests that have happened in DC for centuries

insurrection is another pearl clutching word game than ruins definitions of words, just like the left has been doing this whole century
insurrection as a description of the events of January 6th may be debatable - terrorism is not:

There you go with those ridiculous shitty definitions again
So if they were better organized, better armed, managed to hang the person they were chanting they were going to hang, and prevent the certification of state results, would you consider it an insurrection at that point?

Kind of like, hospitals being overwhelmed by COVID patients isn’t a big deal because all of the hospitals aren’t overwhelmed?

A problem is only a problem once it‘s reached a point of no return?

In any of your idiotic examples was an angry mob using force to stop their government from ceding power away from their political idol?

Insurrection has to have scale.

Not a couple hundred people AT MOST that delayed something for an hour or two

Why do the results have to be certified in the Cathedral anyway? What was stopping the terrified bitches from meeting somewhere else?[

He is also a fool that doesn't know the dictionary

But it's not surprising an armed agent of the Cathedral would puppet for them

You don't want to defund/abolish that police force?

It looked like there was a pretty massive crowd at the rally, several hundred, possibly a thousand made their way to the Capitol, and a couple hundred made it inside. The police seemed overwhelmed with the crowd outside, was that planned? Distract and draw most outside and leave the inside vulnerable?

I don’t know the numbers on how many people it takes to certify the election, but I’m guessing the logistics of moving everything to a new venue, plus the security concerns would have meant a longer delay. I guess they could have done it via Zoom, it worked for some of the tourists’ court hearings. :roflmao:
