Trump Says Jan. 6 Was an Insurrection - eviltoast

Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”

Trump disagrees, apparently.

“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.

    Same way if Biden wins: it doesn’t.

      So given the choices:

      1. Things get worse for a small part of our population for a short while, and the government continues to actively fund genocide

      2. That small part of the population is unaffected and doesn’t suffer, and the government continues to actively fund genocide

      You’re picking option 1 over 2?

        I’m picking neither.

        What I was saying earlier was that if I believed Trump actually would do something to stop Israel, I’d vote for him despite the harm he’d otherwise cause, but he won’t, so I won’t.
