Please quit calling the Jan. 6 protests an "insurrection." It was not.

Let me repeat - NONE of the defendants is charged with "insurrection." Not one!

Fine.....We will call it a violent uprising against the government in an attempt to stop the certification of the U.S. Presidential Election.

The definition of insurrection is: a violent uprising against an authority or government.

Also: an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing body.

Everything you and your buddies did on January 6, 2021 was an insurrection.

a violent uprising against an authority or government.

If that is the definition, where are the committees and FBI task forces for all the BLM rioters?

They did much more damage than the Jan 6th protests.

Your definition would fit BLM riots. They were:

1) Violent

2) An uprising

3) Against an authority (police, "white supremacy", the gov't, whatever)

Also, YOU don't get to decide what to call it. The media DOES NOT get to decide what to call it. The DOJ/Law enforcement DECIDES what to call it. Not some random dude.

LOL. You don't even see the irony in your idiotic statement. You are the "random dude" (named Sally by the way) trying to change the definition of the word insurrection.

STFU!

They are not my buddies. I don't approve what they did. But if it was an insurrection, how come EFFING NONE of them has been charged with "insurrection?"
