Second key term here is "engaged": involved in activity; involved especially in a hostile encounter.
Did Jefferson Davis engage in insurrection? He was never involved in a hostile encounter during the Civil War.
More importantly, the United States Government via the F.B.I. emphatically declared that J6 was NOT an insurrection.
When did they supposedly do that? They never put out such a statement. You are lying. And Since when do the police get to do the job of the prosecutors who are the ones Responsible to bring charges in court? You read the Washington Examiner (lol) and you hear what you want to hear.
We all know several people have been convicted of plotting J6. It was not just a spontaneous riot for them. And Trump summoned the mob to the capital just as Mitch McConnell said.
Prosecutors have filed conspiracy charges against 40 defendants, alleging that they engaged in some degree of planning before the attack. Trump is next.

That’s a big bold in your face five Pinocchios, lie.
Prove it!
“Trump continually says that, “the U.S. is experiencing the best economy ever.” This is obvious gaslighting since the new results show that President Trump’s best year of job growth was 2.314 million in 2018 (the first year of the tax cut) but it falls short of any of Obama’s last three years”
“In December, his final full month in office, the U.S. economy added a slightly disappointing 156,000 jobs. It marked the 75th consecutive month of job gains, the best on record. For all of 2016, the U.S. added over 2 million new jobs”
I have no doubt you read and watch junk media. That’s why you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I've checked on many sources about this topic and most of them agree that it's very unlikely that Trump ends up in prision for this case and for any case against him. He sure will pay a lot of money as indemnification but he won't go to jail.
What if he was black? Would that increase the odds he would go to jail?

trump didn’t raise the deficit any more than Obama did pre pandemic
When Obama took office the economy was imploding from the Bush Administration’s poor management and deregulation of the economy. Homes were being foreclosed on in the millions and banks were going out of business in droves. A massive bailout of the banking and finance sector had been initiated.
When Trump took office we had a stable economy with low unemployment and record job growth.

but why does it matter what you were feeling in your heart? What does that have to do with the punishment? All that matters is that you hurt someone and you are now being punished for it.
Wrong. For the same reason we consider killing a police officer or a terrorist attack a higher crime. Because it is more destructive to society. So the Justice system has enhancements for these crimes.

I agree. People have killed each other way before guns existed.

@Redpilled
the only difference is the fatalities tend to be higher in blue states because less people are carrying guns to immediately stop the threat. For example the mall shooting in Indiana or the church shooting in Texas.
That’s not true. The biggest death tolls are in red states.
Florida, Texas, South Carolina are stacking up the bodies in hate crimes.
Uvalde, El Paso, Jacksonville, Parkland, Orlando, Charleston.
The guns aren’t helping

The Trump has added a lot of debt because he was building the wall and dealing with Covid.
That’s bullshit. He had a trillion dollar deficit before Covid hit.
He didn’t get any new money from Congress for the wall. Funds were taken from other parts of the budget, including the military budget, for the wall

Asking for recounts and election verification isn't an insurrection.
He got recounts and election verification. Then he continued past that point genius.
He also outright lied when he said the election was stolen. He told the American people the election was stolen and that he won in a landslide and that was a complete lie.

Vivek claims to be Hindu, however he follows a belief and moral system more similar to Christianity.
What does that mean - He dresses like a white guy?
And yes, I mean one out of 340 million committed a racist shooting.

First of all Vivek is Christian, maybe you should listen to what he has to say before you make statements about him. Also one shooting in Florida and now crime is out of control? What about the countless rapes robberies and murders that happen in St Luis Chicago and San Francisco?
One shooting? You man one racist, hate inspired murder of 3 people, right?
Vivek is Christian? Really? When did that happen?
There are countless rapes robberies and murders in Florida, even with the lax gun laws.

There were no laws after the war banning the purchase or use of a cannon…
Yes, that is factually true. There also weren’t any laws against purchasing the sun. Probably because it wasn’t a big problem back then.
There were “well regulated militias”
There were privately owned ships used in naval engagements using cannons and small arms, when authorized by Federal and State authorities.
“I think what he’s saying here is that the Second Amendment was never understood to guarantee everyone the right to own all types of weapons, which I believe is true,” said Kermit Roosevelt, a constitutional law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

Lies or not, foreign relations and the economy were better under Trump
That’s not true.
Trump blew the budget and added 8 trillion in debt in just 4 years. A record high.
Trump had a trillion dollar deficit before Covid and a 3 trillion dollar deficit after Covid. A record high
Trump had unemployment go over 16%. A record high
Trump never had better than 3% annual GDP growth.
Trump had to give cash to farmers to keep them from going broke.
Trump cut taxes for the richest Americans and gave crumbs or increases to everyone else.
Unemployment is lower under Biden
Inflation was low under Trump because the economy had collapsed and unemployment was very high.

Biden is just as much of a liar as Trump. He has said that you couldn't own a cannon in colonial days,
Are you serious? Do you think private citizens owned working canons after the War for Independence?
“Still others privately used racial slurs or believed whites were the superior race”
Politifact left this vague choosing not to quote any former president or name names.
If we are going to call Washington and Jefferson racist because they owned slaves then you would need to say the entire country was racist because the country let slavery stand in colonial times. Everyone who agreed with the Constitution as it was written and passed could be called a racist. I think the closer one gets to the civil war and still advocated for slavery, the more racist a person is and the more criticism they should receive.

Are you saying white supremacy is a myth
There are whites who believe they are a supreme race, but that is just racism.
In reality, the whites who believe in white supremacy, are losers. They have low education, low income and are incompetent with women.

He called Trump a “fake Republican” who racked up $8 trillion in debt in the White House and 91 indictments in four separate cases after leaving.Duncan said Republicans have all the evidence they need to not make him the party’s 2024 nominee “including that fact that he’s got the moral compass more like an ax murderer than a president.”But he warned that time is running out.
MAGA Morons don’t care. They are the party of white grievance and grifters.

Does that upset you, the White population declining?
Notice how many of the white people on this site don’t have children? Why do you think that is?
Is it because they are too weird to find a mate?
Is it because they are too useless to earn enough to support a family?
Is it because they are too immature to be a parent?
These are questions that should be considered when fretting over the decline of white people in America.

On 8th November, 1923 Adolf Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the Munich Beer Hall Putsch trying to overthrow the German Government.
If they had hung Hitler instead of putting him in prison we would not have had World War II.
Yes, Hindenburg blew it, and all of the world paid for that mistake. I’m sure there were a lot of Germans talking about HDS - Hitler Derangement Syndrome back then.
After the Trump era episode, it’s plainly obvious many Americans today are no better than the German people back then.
