Hasn't Trump signed an executive order making January 6th Patriots Day? Not yet? Just wait.

Meanwhile...a little humor:

Khruschev said: "We will bury you!"

Putin said: "Let's get Trump elected"
-----------------

Trump has been nominated for the Nubile Piece Prize.

Five individuals lost their lives, and more than 140 law enforcement officers sustained injuries—an outcome not of mere happenstance, but of an epistemological failure on a national scale.
The tragedy stems from the cognitive incapacities of individuals like Dope, whose discernment between credible information and the intoxicating allure of right-wing propaganda approximates
that of a particularly gullible goldfish. In a world saturated with misinformation, the inability to distinguish fact from ideological fantasy has proven not just embarrassing but fatal.

Here is actual footage from Trump's deadly January 6th insurrection...

"If it wasn't my job, I would have done that for free. It was absolutely my pleasure to crush a white nationalist insurrection.
And we'll do it as many times as it takes." ~D.C. Police Officer Daniel Hodges, Hero

Well, at least all the Jan 6th terrorists and cop beaters are free...

MAGA!

Well it wouldn't be a "day," would it?

It was a three hour riot.

And the reason it happened was because in 2020, the MSM and the Left and the Democommies made it very very clear that political violence in service of a cause thought to be "just" was not only O.K., it was obligatory.

Yes the people who rioted on January 6 were stupid.

Not because they listened to Trump, who told them to protest peacefully. (Unfortunately, they did NOT listen to Trump.)

But because they listened to YOU. YOU told them it was not just O.K., but morally and ethically obligatory, to engage in political violence and riots if you subjectively believe the cause to be just.

Cue 2020 George Floyd riots.

There's a picture of a tattoo laden man in a hospital bed with breathing apparatus and he's a cop, attacked by 6 picnickers on Jan 6., and he has brain damage. The people who attacked him were pardoned by Trump. Mike wants to say he thinks the sentences were too much, but he's acting as if it's a riot. Many of those people knew they were there to disrupt the certification of the electoral college by congress and their sentences were very appropriate. We have 3 more years of this. We need some luck, and we aren't having any.

Are you celebrating that it was Donald Trump's re-election announcement.

And that you - helped him win again?

- Marco the Russian Clown

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

Like everything in life, Marco the Russian Clown gets it exactly backwards. His incompetence is going to cause him to be sent to the front lines in Ukraine and die in a ditch to a drone.

I am not even going to argue with you about January 6th other than ask how many police officers died during BLM protests (which were much bigger and widespread)? I don't teach pigs to sing. So instead let's ask him about life in Russia...

Marco, are all Russians as incompetent as you? Obviously, the Russian military has rotted from within. In Ukraine, it couldn't destroy a military a fraction of its size. Despite have some of the largest mineral resources on earth, the Russian economy is a very small compared to its population. Russians haven't produced anything meaningfully culturally (movies, poetry, books, etc.) in at least 60 years.

Military sucks, economy sucks, culture sucks. What exactly are Russians good at other than conning dumb ass right wing nutters?

~oldmarco000

LOL! MAGA trots out their old favorite, Whataboutism (also called whataboutery)...
Whataboutism is closely related to the tu quoque ("you too") fallacy, a subtype of the ad hominem argument.
It attempts to undermine the critic’s position by accusing them of similar or worse behavior, rather than addressing the substance of the original criticism.

This is considered a logical fallacy because:
1) Even if the counter-accusation is true, it does not refute or excuse the original wrongdoing.
2) It distracts from the issue at hand, often derailing productive discussion.
Most uses of whataboutism are attempts to avoid accountability and do not address the original argument.

Every MAGA/marco post contains one or more of these three ingredients...
1)name calling/insults
2)willful ignorance
3)whataboutism
Prove me wrong.

This is beyond absurd.

Of course.

To marco the ignored:

Th nefster tells us there were 10,300 BLM demonstrations in 2700 locations in 2020 alone. 93% were peaceful. There were some 60-80 car incidents with your buddies driving into crowds.

"The Justice Department quietly removed (9-25)from its website a study showing far-right extremists were responsible for the bulk of ideologically motivated deaths — a move that comes as the GOP seeks to back claims from President Trump that the “radical left” poses a
greater danger than the right wing.

The 2024 study, in which several criminal justice researchers reviewed National Institute of Justice data, found far more instances of deaths credited to right-wing groups. The study was still available on the Justice Department website last week, but a researcher
on extremism posted on social media that it had been removed in the days after the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

“The number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism,” the study says. “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives,” the study states.“In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.” ( Per this study y'all committed 666% more ideologically motivated murders than the left did, marco. Got that? But you will be back in a couple of hours saying the same thing.)

The removal of the study was first reported Tuesday by 404 Media, which credited Daniel Malmer, a Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who is studying extremism, with first noticing the removal of the study Sept. 13. In a post on social media, Malmer said the study had been visible the day before. The Justice Department did not respond to request for comment on the removal of the study,
but the page now says the department is “reviewing its websites … in accordance with recent Executive Orders.”
It’s not clear which executive orders would require such action."
