Kamala Harris literally paid for their defense.

Entire books were written in their defense, one infamous title being "In defense of looting".

MSM talking heads were besides themselves defending the rioters. For months!

> 100% of the people who invaded the US Capitol were rioters.

This is so blatantly twisted that I am forced to believe you're being intentionally deceptive. Everyone knows a tiny fraction of the protesters went into the capitol building.

True. It's also true that he told them to protest peacefully BEFORE the riot as well.

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

Frankly I find your dishonesty unacceptable.

It's crazy to me that you think the media should make that decision for us instead of just presenting the facts.

You believe Trump was making some kind of insurrection suggestion with his invitation to a rally in the capital. I don't. You think there's something between the lines of his words, but that's just speculation. If you're going to make a claim so grand as the sitting president was inciting insurrection, you need more than speculation.

My honest opinion is that Trump wanted a BIG rally to demonstrate that he had a lot of support to make the idea that he lost to Biden seem absurd. He used this reasoning over and over again, even in his call with the GA SoS.

Occam's Razor makes that far easier to believe than that he wanted people to take over the capitol building. Beyond just sounding like crazed conspiracy, it doesn't even make any sense to do. What is he gonna do with a building? Like, what if they managed to take congresspeople or senators hostage? How in the world would that lead to maintaining his hold on power?

Sorry, it just sounds like a bunch of conspiratorial claptrap to me, along the lines of the stuff I hear from the right with their Q and Lin Wood nonsense. The crazy thing is that it's become institutionalized on the left in the MSM. It's bonkers.

Matt Braynard's evidence was not seen in court.

It's attitudes represented by this blithe dismissal of a compelling argument that will continue to divide the nation. I guess you think you're going to get something out of it, but this is a scenario that nobody wins.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't understand why you think I'm standing up for any of them.

I thought the savior figure was the guy with horns and a fur cape prancing about on the dais?

Glad they got him. We were THIS close to the end of the US, I tell ya'.
