So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.

Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.

Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.

      It’s not really a discussion. They know damn well they are full of shit. But for the most part, they got away with it because we have a history of being soft when it comes to consequences for traitorous behavior.

      I literally had the fucking guided tour a year before the insurrection and I called out my MAGA ass family who were there with me saying this shit.

        I took the guided tour years ago and definitely don’t remember beating a police officer to death with a flag pole.

          That’s the premium tour, you can get a ticket and a memorial Presidential Pardon by donating $500,000 to your local senator’s non-profit, who will make sure it makes it to the big man himself.

      They started gaslighting about it on Day One.

      Some asshat on Denver Post forums went out of his way to say things like “INSPLURECTION!” whenever anyone, bending over backwards if you ask me, called it an insurrection (I think it should be called terrorism, and certainly not a fucking “riot”).

      For example.
