teach both sides

What both sides? There’s only one, that this was a righteous uprising of the common folks, akin to the Boston Tea Party, one act in a long struggle against tyranny.

[tigersharktoo]

Because so many of the faces looked like a BLM protest?

That’s some Grade A, Primo Stupidity, there Louis.

Christalmighty, this guy should get a job planning gender reveal parties when he retires from congress.

You seem to be under the pleasant illusion that some aren’t already.

Didn’t they already do this about 10, 11 years ago? How many shots heard ‘round the world do you fire off before the world has no fucks left to give anymore?

[tigersharktoo]

Also akin to the Attack on Ft. Sumter! A blow for freedom and liberty!

Preservation of democracy takes eternal vigilance, my friend. Thus true Patriots are ready to answer the call whenever and wherever it comes.

@pluckyinky

but what you can’t do is convince people that a thing they watched unfold didn’t happen.

Four or five lights?

She doesn’t do simple logic.

And apparently has skipped getting her eyes checked.

Only on abandoned oil platforms in the Gulf.

(It must really be something going through life that stupid.)

That’s quite painful to think about.

I’ll stop.

[teenlaqueefa]

Maybe she thinks they were wearing Ye whiteface masks.

In the future schools will be made to teach both sides of the insurrection.

Perhaps he should address the letter to Bill Barr.

Johnson’s spokesperson told Business Insider that the hold on Graves’ nomination was meant to pressure the DOJ to respond to the senators’ June letter.

To be fair, they are arresting and prosecuting criminals from the protests of the summer of 2020: various Proud Boys and 3%ers who went to the protests to disrupt and discredit the proceedings (or to shoot cops and sheriff’s deputies) are increasingly finding themselves with a government-paid trip on a paddy wagon. So you’ve got to wonder just what is Sen. Johnson still complaining about?

@irasdad

Hey, remember when Rep. Lewis savagely killed Capitol police with fire extinguishers and Trump flags?

Yah, me neither.

But I do remember when a 10-year old black girl was arrested in Hawaii because another kid’s mom was offended. If Gohmert wants an equal application of police powers and the justice system, I’m sure we can track down just a few of his doodles to set an example of the kind of justice he and Ron Jon are crying for.

@txlawyer

Whitewashing the insurrection would be saying it didn’t happen or nothing really all that bad happened. The position they’re settling on, however, is that J6 was righteous and awesome

True, and that’s much, much worse than trying to whitewash it. Although it’s not at all believable to anyone who doesn’t desperately want to believe it, saying it was BLM and Antifa is infinitely more credible (and it isn’t credible at all) than saying it was a great thing. @teenlaqueefa

@ralph_vonholst

Four or five lights?

I don’t get it.

[emiliano4]

The Republicans plan on destroying our Republic as we know it. If they succeed, the word “patriot” becomes the empty property of those practitioners of semantics.
