The religious east Africans who dominate distance running think you lefties are trash.
What is it about stupid people that they can't comprehend that everyone doesn't have to agree with their lazy ill thought out opinions to be a good person or good a sport or profession?
If the goal fits the definition of insurrection then it’s an insurrection. If it doesn’t meet the definition then it is not. This shouldn’t be hard.
I don't care what they call it. Trump wanted Pence to overturn the results. He riled up the protesters. Protesters smashed through the Capital. Capital was evacuated. Protesters were yelling to 'Hang Mike Pence!'.
Now, most of these nut jobs were just going along.
How Trump is still even allowed to run or supported by the GOP is beyond me.

one thing a lot of folks don't realize is roger stone had set up a Stop the Steal entity in 2016, and Trump had made similar election theft rhetoric. this was a pre-packaged approach. you win, you drop the theft rhetoric. you lose, you have primed your supporters and you have an entity set up to push your stuff.
the fact it's packaged before the election happens tells you all you need to know on whether this resides in any election reality. it's heads i win tails you lose.
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!
What was going on in your brain that made you think this was something worth starting a thread about?

He needs to go home with his tail between his legs.
The only people I hear saying insurrection are sour pusses with trump derangement syndrome…
get over it and move on
Our election system is rigged
i live in a red state and during covid the governor unilaterally by executive order altered mail ballot laws from what is supposed to happen per state law. the funny thing is the governor doesn't believe in masks or vaccines or such but magically on elections we needed special pandemic rules that reduced locations to turn in mail ballots to one site per county -- even if your county is hundreds of miles across. and how is having one place in the whole county -- with a single line -- an appropriate "disaster order" response to a pandemic? that's like you wanted people sick.
that's not even getting into voter ID and other things red states did last election cycle.
the reason trump claims stuff happened in several states is he lost by 70 electoral votes which means no one state would have been enough.
If mainstream media and all you Libs are claiming a certain event but no one is charged with the crime (that being "insurrection) then maybe it was not an insurrection? Yes?
Again we go back to the presumption of innocence, a concept that our Founding Founders loved. If you have not been convicted of a crime, then you did not commit that crime.

Even you aren't stupid enough to believe this. Sally, what are you up to here?
Trying to poke the other side in the eye or simply drum up site traffic?
Suppose you run over someone with a car. You might have done it deliberately, which means you could have been found guilty of murder. But if you are only charged with vehicular homicide, there will not be a legal finding in a court of law that a murder occurred. But as a factual matter, it still did occur and you still did it. Same thing with those people in the crowd (not all of the crowd) who tried to stop the congress from certifying Biden as president. Not insurrectionists as a legal matter, but still Insurrectionists as a matter of fact.
