Now this incident at the Capitol is being used to paint a largely peaceful, freedom loving, God fearing, patriotic group as insurrectionists....terrorists. We aren't even sure who actually engaged in the violence. The investigation is still being conducted. It would not surprise me even a little if Antifa had a hand in this.[/QUOTE]

I am confused, surprised, and saddened by these posts (not just the one to which I am replying.
Does nobody understand what has happened ? Does nobody consider trying to get facts ? ThevAntifa thing was vented, as expected almost immediately (as always) and totally disproved.
It appears that those websites that deal exclusively in conspiracy theories are the primary reading for so many. To not even wanting to know truth is really something I would be ashamed of. Nothing peaceful or patriotic about American citizens "outspokenly" searching for the Vice President and his family....why ?...because he openly refused to mock the constitution. They were and still are in fear for their lives, as are anyone who has been outspoken in characterizing an extreme act of non American behavior.
I hear, and I
do in fact read all sides, not those in the garbage dump, all reasonable opinions, and since i am getting ill at some of these teenage comments, let me just comment on some things I hear about the platforms that have shut down lying, only to be met with comments that are akin to "if I can't lie, then what"?
Presidential speech is not like private citizen speech. If you can fire the Secretary of State or pardon a co-conspirator with a tweet, then your calls for violence, too, must be deemed operative.
