Sorry to hit you libs with this, it pretty much negates your imbalanced narratives on several threads. Again, libs do not 'close' their arguments. You rail on about your own facts of Jan 6, but do not balance it with the Weather Underground attack in 1971. Dam near brought down a president.
Of course, we would love your personal (not mob-like) opinions on this unearthed nugget. I had forgotten it!!!

“ Shocked lawmakers condemned the attack. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D-Montana), called it an “outrageous and sacrilegious” hit on a “public shrine.” House Speaker Carl Albert “(D-Oklahoma) said the bombing was “doubly sad” because it would likely lead to tighter security at the Capitol and less freedom for visitors. The Washington Post’s editorial page lamented “the easy contagion of extremism in a time of dark frustrations and deep disillusionment.””

“ Fifty years later, we find the nation assessing the physical and psychic wreckage left by another Capitol attack, this one at the hands of the radical right. It would be wrong to give these events equal weight on the historical scale, to simply regard them as insurrections from opposite ends of the spectrum. Dangerous and criminal as it was, the bombing amounted to a kind of guerrilla theater, a symbolic destruction of federal property to protest the disastrous military intervention in Vietnam. The Jan. 6 mob that ransacked the Capitol, causing five deaths, embodied a far more perilous delusion: that a national election was fraudulent and should be overturned with threats and violence against lawmakers. “Stop the War” versus “Stop the Steal.””

From the article you gave us a link to Joe, which you obviously did not read past it’s almost ironic headline.
I can see why you vary rarely post links

OMG we almost lost our democracy, another 10 minutes in the capital building and they would have had total control of the government and military and all 50 states would have to do what they said.
Or at least that's what Biden/Dems/CNN would have you believe.

No clearly the plan was that Trump would use his useful idiots as a fig leaf for declaring marshal law and later striking out the election results, or should we pretend to be as stupid as you?

What is there to "balance"? Everyone involved with either attack should be in prison.

The only difference is that no one 1971 told those terrorists "we love, you're very special" like Trump did.

No a couple of anti war nut jobs plant a bomb in a toilet, versus thousands of insurrectionists being sent to the capital to cause mayhem and murder on behalf of a sitting President to overturn an election result.
Your a liar and an idiot like all ultra right wing supporters of Trumps wannabe junta. Trying to gaslight a nation of 300 million folks just ain’t gonna work Joe. It’s the USA versus Trump and his band of traitors.
Read the article you gave a link to and try to understand just how incredibly stupid you really are, us libs are way ahead of you on this one Joe, at least try to catch up.

Historians are saying the same thing. IT WAS AN ATTACK ON DEMOCRCY ITSELF and there is NOTHING you can say or do to change that.

You want to be a Trump puppet, keep at it, but you are backing a COWARD, a TRAITOR and a LOSER and a CORRUPT LOSER at that.

THAT has already been proven in court, Trump is as corrupt as anyone I ever heard of, right up there with Madoff.

And if you don't know what corruption already proven, google Trump University or Trump charities.

BTW, those were not just business failures which you no doubt with parade just like all the REST of the Trumpites trying again to rewrite history.

It was grift pure and simple, TWICE proven in court.

So good luck supporting a corrupt loser and traitor.

1971?.......
Yeah and in 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
What, on earth, has this to do with JAN/6th, 2021?
Talk of 'closing your argument,'.....Answer my question.
...........What a MAROON

Needless to say, I didn't even bother to look at the link.
Trump gives a speech a few hundred yards from the Capitol.
A speech full of vitriol.
"If we don't fight like hell, we won't have a country any more."
"We are going to take back our country !!"
(when people say they are going to take back their country, is it because they can't win it back ?)
And immediately, a horde of leftists converge on the Capitol and vandalize the place.
Why ? Because their guy won the election ??
In a nutshell, the narrative you are trying to start here is nonsensical.

Let's get to the heart of the matter.
What do you think ? Did Biden win the election ? Or Trump ?

When a conservative says that Trump won the election and the election was stolen, what are they afraid of ?
Is it that when they admit Biden won, they then face the next question ?
That question being ..... "does democracy still work for conservatives ?"
Because a good chunk of the conservative base (possibly 50% ) has been filled with the KoolAid that God brought Trump to America.
Trump is viewed as a Messiah to America. And God has plans for America.
That puts Democracy in direct conflict with God's plans.
That's gotta be a tough pill to swallow, even with all the KoolAid that washes it down.

I think it's easier for the evangelical and religious right to stick with the stolen election narrative than it is to face the hard question.
I know the yellow haired snake oil salesman is smiling.

Anyways, you can have your thread back. 🙂

He won't answer you, not simply because
there are NO FACTS on his side, but mainly
because he doesn't have the courage of his
misguided convictions,,,,,,,,
And he talks of, 'closing an argument,' some brass, huh?
He's not called, ''less than average,'' for no reason.
