What debate? We just woke up to the news that it was happening whether we liked it or not. Rapepublican leadership supporting trump's pedocratic dictatorship as always.
What should we do? I know a great majority is pissed and has had enough. We should do our own storming of the Capitol and every other governmental building that has anything to do with not prosecuting or covering up.
Every single day there is an outrageous scandalous thing that tells me how broken the country is. Believe me, i very much know how broken it is, stop telling me please, i got it
Can't pay for student loan forgiveness, but we can pay for insurrectionist forgiveness. We are 40 trillion dollars in debt. Money is never the issue, it's simply a matter of who is choosing priorities.
Students won't save the Epstein class, paying insurrectionists might if another capitol attack (or similar shit) is needed to keep them in power. Easy choice.
We're not debating anything. Trump's trying to make the crooks he installed in the DOJ do it. Congressional Republicans are pretending they don't know anything about it. Democrats are blowing their tops. The public, insofar as the useless press has told them anything about it, are outraged.
Even the usual wingnut idiots on the editorial pages haven't tried to defend this shit.
Even worse, those DC cops have been attempting to sue Jan 6'ers for their injuries and suffering for 5 years. Trump admin has placed many roadblocks to stop the lawsuits the last 2 years.
So the victims are still fighting for damages. The perpetrators are getting paid.
I mean... Donald Trump is a giant fascist piece of shit, but a silver lining is that for once a handful of the piece of shit pig motherfuckers are getting fucked instead of doing the fucking.
In what ways has Trump admin placed these roadblocks? Please and ty, Google not handling search queries well and I don't know enough to know how to ask
What a slap in the face to face an angry mob severely out manned and then learn they'll possibly be compensated for their vandalism and property destruction.
Capitalism actively stops people from *wanting* to learn (while also making it extremely difficult to learn for even those who manage to retain their desire to learn).
(Part of the problem is blaming humans with no influence. The idiots contributing to the mess were led to their circumstances and behaviour by others who knew better and are so small in number that they should not be an accurate representation of "people.")

Money for terrorists and murder! The lowest of the low goes lower then we expect.

Maybe if we start calling them "reparations" the conservatives won't be as supportive of the idea...

I mean, this is exactly what the American people wanted when they elected that pedophile, so don't act surprised.

+1 for 'Rapepublicans'. But I'm going to use the more subtle 'Rapublicans'.

Rapepublican leadership ? I might quote you on that. Its gold.

The Republican Party has no intention of ever stopping Trump.

No, they are all just tagging along in the hope they'll get a piece of the pie...

If you'd hung seditionists, as you are supposed to, the world would be a better place and this would be a non-issue.

Having them all come forward means we'll have a full list of seditionists to eradicate later...
But don't wait too long.

I'm not debating it. It's an evil, corrupt thing to do and there's no defending it.

When the NYT editorial page is posting stories like this we are not talking about a policy that is being debated. (Obligatory FTFNYT)

Trying to pay the perpetrators feels like a sneaky way to affirm loyalty in case the time comes when they're called on again.

Like the veterans who saw their pensions cut, most cops will not learn from this.

People dont learn period

On a macro scale, I fear you are correct.

to me the January 6th insurrection falls under the FBIs definition of terrorism https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/terrorism
but it seems I'm missing something here, could anyone enlighten me please?

Ohhhhhhhh, I can see how this could be really confusing from the outside; let me explain:
They're white.
I hope this clears everything up.
mardukkur
Some of the conspirators were in fact convicted of sedition & seditious conspiracy and sentenced to decades in prison, before Trump pardoned them.
Faleya
so it's fair to say that Donald Trump has actively supported (and is continuing to support) domestic terrorism?
MarsIsAfire
Many more convictions were to come too, until the pardon.
