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

Nobody gives a crap about the semantics except you.

Calling it an insurrection or coup is quicker, faster and easier than calling it:

”part 5 of a corrupt plant to engage in felonies to stop the transfer of power to the person who won the election. And thereby illegally deny citizens their constitutional right to have their votes counted”.

You engage in idiotic semantics because you can’t defend what Trump did. It’s pathetic.

The DOJ decides what to call it. Not some hillbilly on a farm.

Dont call him a hillbilly the DOJ hasn’t charged him with hillbilliness.

That fits BLM riots, looting and destruction to the teeth.

He rides a tractor all day and them spends his nights reading Yeats. So, yes - not a hillbilly. A closeted intellectual.

Hey Sally

Because you started this thread why don’t you tell us what term you would prefer for what Trump did with his coconspirators from the time he lost and culminating in Jan6th?

We are open to examining your wisdom on the topic

If January 6th was an insurrection then what happened in Minneapolis and many other cities were definitely insurrections. Burned down a police station, destroyed police vehicles, attacking police, looting anything possible, burning down a gas station.

This ain’t a murder case. This is insurrection. Do you see the difference?!

Murder and insurrection ain’t the same charges bro.

Not ONE of the defendants is charged with insurrection. How can it be an insurrection if no one charged with it?

Thanks for the softball question. You teed it right up high. It was nothing but a protest. He urged his supporters to march to the Capitol and protest PEACEFULLY. Nothing more. None of the insurrectionists were charged with insurrection so obviously not an insurrection. I guess Game, Set, Match.

None of the leaders of the Confederacy were charged with treason after the Civil War. So by your reasoning the Civil War wasn't an insurrection.

Sally Vix wrote:

Not ONE of the defendants charged on the DOJ prosecution page is charged with insurrection under 18 U.S.C. 2383. "Insurrection" is a legal term with specific elements.

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

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)

Killing unarmed blacks with impunity for centuries is murder. No statute of limitations for murder.

You are the same type of BS MF that called the Southern Christian Leadership Conference rioters and agitators. They were led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr....who was also murdered.

STFU!
