Biden supporters did ransack the Capitol and that’s extremely upsetting, especially since government actors led it. Those Trump supporters who willfully or unwillfully caused damage or broke into the Capitol have no excuse and are to be condemned as much as if they were Biteme supporters. But the organizers of the event WERE Biteme supporters. Those Trump supporters who were either attacked by the police for no reason or led inside the building by the police do not bother me.
You are letting the government off here. Planting bombs to be “discovered” coincidentally as its own actors started the attack on the capital — matching the start time of the hearings. You need to re-orient your outrage.
No I'm not, or I don't mean to. I keep making the point that there was nothing new about the FBI, Nancy Pelosi, you name it, being out to unfairly get Trump. They pull every dirty and illegal trick they can get away with against him. He should have known they would do whatever they could to turn this into a disaster for him, which is exactly what happened.
How could he have been so unprepared? He was warned by EVERYONE not to even have the stupid protest. But if you are going to go against everyone's advice, damn the torpedoes full speed ahead, especially for something as vain and technically impotent as this, then you better have your ducks in a row.
Then he gets schooled in an historic event, by his own FBI? Several dead after the smoke clears in a few days, people in jail, people being tracked down, all Republicans labeled insurrectionists, all protests in Washington shut down indefinitely, etc.
Why does anybody feel the need to defend such idiocy that left us all with a permanent self inflicted black eye? I hear you over and over that the FBI and whoever did bad things, but who did the stupid thing of setting the ball on a tee for them? Against the advice of everyone else.
