If true he shouldn't have said it because the sharks are going to smell blood in the water.

Also, if so I thought he would've learned a lesson by now that nothing he says to appease them will work.

They will forever put the bar higher.

If he said it I doubt that he said it to appease anyone. He never has before.

I’m afraid I’ve been misunderstood. My post (crap you call it) was not in anyway a defense of those bad actors inside the Capitol. My post was meant to support the overwhelming majority, the tens of thousands of patriots who rallied behind President Trump. I agree with you that the actions inside were bad and disrespectful.

Understood, and my apologies if I misunderstood your post.

But I sincerely wish that those jerks HAD stayed home, instead of getting off on a stupid ego trip - that is, if they or their handlers did not (as I suspect) have far more nefarious goals.

(And there were lots of innocent but stupid people who followed them in. I suspect those are having serious second thoughts, now...)

[[There is NO WAY he accepted any responsibility for the violence at the Capitol.]]

Whether he did or didn’t- it doesn’t matter- The “New Truth” according to the left is that he did, and that will be hammered day and night till all the low info folks believe it. The ‘New Truth’ is whatever liberals say it is

I’m sure some of the people who were in the Capitol were there to smash and destroy. But let’s not forget that there was a coordinated plan, I believe by the FBI, to lead protesters directly in the Capitol. It was a trap. There are many videos which in fact show police moving barricades and allowing protesters to enter.

And you are right. Lots of innocent people are having their lives and careers destroyed. Canceled. Because they were caught in this trap.

a lot of ‘conservatives’ would have preferred that evidently. Heaven forbid it ever come to the point where conservatives are forced to defend ourselves with more than just keystrokes, the naysayers will fall all to pieces calling the defenders terrorists or some such nonsense- I wonder what people back in Tomas Paine’s day, Jefferson’s day said about them?

Judging from some of the firebrands I see here on FR - and have seen for years - I don’t think anyone needed the FBI to ‘lead’ them to the Capitol; and they didn’t need the President to do that, either.

They just needed a relative few people who said, ‘Come On!’; and a lot of fools, pumped-up emotionally and without thinking, fell for it.

(Didn’t one of the more colorful people there have a sign that said ‘Q sent me’???)

Horsesh!t. The only way our President can be blamed is because he held an event. It was an open invitation for the satanic, violent, blm/antifa mobs to stage one of their violent, evil attacks on our nation and blame him for their malice.

We are the salt of the earth, respectable, decent people, they are the scum of the earth. Blame the real terrorists, not decent, law abiding citizens.

Oh, that’s a common thing on the right. Talk tough, then clutch the pearls when anyone says something naughty or does more than hold up a sign.

There should be mass protests all over the place right now. But there isn’t and there won’t be. And the crackdown on the right will just get worse because of it.

This is what the left calls “inciting an insurrection.”
President Trump’s EXACT words that allegedly called for violent attacks. His EXACT WORDS as transcribed by ABC News. (That “right-wing source”)

“Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down and I’ll be there with you. We’re going to walk down—

“We’re going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol—
“And we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.

“We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated. Lawfully slated.

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections. But whether or not they stand strong for our country, our country. Our country has been under siege for a long time. Far longer than this four year period.”

Take a look at this well done interview regarding the Ashli B shooting by Josh P from Epoch Times.

The dots being connected are very interesting —

Actually, you may want to download the vid before YT takes it down.

This is a real piece of shit reporting by a Fox writer. No wonder they are losing viewers/readers and supporters, including myself.

Just watched a show on Newsmax (about Vietnam) which was questionable, but the late night host, Gregg Kelly, was very pro-American and not an apologist for the hundreds of thousands of decent Americans who supported the President on the Mall last week.

Looks like I’ve found a new home for news and analysis. Fox has too many squishes and ignoramuses, esp. below the 8:00 PM Tucker Carlson Show.

Let’s see if the new “lineups” at Fox (i.e. time purges) improve their pisspoor, anti-Trump hosts, many of whom are leightweight journalists at best and cowards most of the time re Trump and defending America from the Democrat enemy.

Funny how “sources” always attack PDJT & his voters, isn’t it.
