    Trump mentioned fight, fighting and other forms of violent rhetoric in direct connection with Jamuary the sixth over two hundred and fifty times. He used the word "peaceful" exactly once, on the day of the attempted coup in the middle of a speech mentioning violent rhetoric dozens of times. The speeches immediately preceeding his were filled with violent rhetoric too:

    Watch Giuliani Demand ‘Trial by Combat’ to Settle the Election

    And then the mob attacked congress :

    The physical toll on officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack by a pro-Trump mob is becoming clearer, with reports by police officials and federal prosecutors indicating that about 140 officers were injured, the head of the Capitol Police officers’ union said.


    “I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” Gus Papathanasiou, union chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries."


    [...]



    “I’ve talked to officers who have done two tours in Iraq who said this was scarier to them than their time in combat,” acting D.C. police chief Robert J. Contee III said at a news conference earlier this month.

    The main thing here is Maxine isn’t bothered. I think we all agree Maxine did nothing wrong. #maxinespeaksformetoo it’s kinda hard explaining the media’s presentation and selecting outrage to people who don’t live in the US everyday of their lives and have to see the divisiveness stirred up by politicians and media but that’s not the case with Maxine. She did nothing wrong and should face no penalties (as if) we should just lock this thread #savemaxine she did nothing wrong

    I already said she could be booted out of office tomorrow as far as I'm concerned. I think any public official who uses rhetoric that could incite violence in any kind of controversial situation should be thrown out og office by their peers. I'm fine with Maxine getting the boot. Are you fine with all the GOP senators and congresspeople who said far worse getting the boot as well?




    This fucker would have to go along with Ted Cruz and a bunch of others. That's just senators. Would you agree? Anybody on the Democratic side you think should go along with Maxine?

    Evenhanded, non-partisan, anti-fanatical words... with even an offer to include other Democrats on the first train out of town.

    It probably won't get much of a response... because it doesn't fit the fanatical "wah-wah-wah" ( ) method of communication preferred by some on here.

    Right now he's panicking so much about Biden being about to take his hamburgers away that he can't think straight. He'll get back to us eventually.

    Sometimes I tend to skim through headlines, and I had seen something about Biden and hamburgers.

    Skipped right on through, thinking hell..... even the most fanatical Biden haters wouldn't push something as monumentally stupid as that.

    Then....

    Oh shit... I stand corrected.

    Definition of fake news.

    What Fox News actually said?

    Or the fact that headlines claim they said it?

    Just in case....
