The comments you see below were made as a direct response , on a political news website, to the Tucker Carlson show Monday night , in which Carlson claimed that Jan 6 was peaceful, that the Democrats , Cheney and Kinzinger are liars, and that Ashley Babbitt was murdered. 

It is time to fly the American flag upside down as a sign of distress.  I wish I could say this utter abuse of the power of the media to deceive the American people would be met with resistance by the sheep who want it all to go away, but this is only the beginning

How may people were in on the January 6 'insurrection' lies? Attorney General Merrick Garland had to know about the lies. FBI Director Christopher Wray had to know they were lies. -

Was Ashley Babbitt set up to be murdered? There were 2 police officers standing next to her. -

Imagine finding out that everything the Jan 6th committee “discovered “ was a lie…. Shocking indeed. I hope Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are proud that they were used so well. -

Pelosi's hand selected show trial was an exercise in lies, propaganda, and censorship. Everything the Communist pigs in the Democrat Party do is an exercise in lies, propaganda, and censorship. -

Trouble! Wait don’t run,
trouble can be lots of fun.

Pop a matic pops the dice,

Pop a six and you move twice.

Race your men around the track,

and try to send the others back
Trouble was cheesy parcheesi, yet it runs circles around Cheney and Kinflinger’s gay Nazi parade - Trans Commie Show Trial.

Tucker Carlson and Kevin McCarthy may just be the biggest traitors in American history. How dare they try to rewrite the history of an attack against our nation. These people are evil.

Rewrite?!? The video recordings don't lie. In the least they show another side of the story. One that you and the media didn't and don't want shown.

Somehow I knew you and a couple others would be out in force this morning with "nuh uh they are lying". It isn't like NBC acquired the videos and gave them a Zimmerman treatment.

I see, in true form, you didn't watch the videos that were shown. If you had, you'd have seen that scary Shaman being guided on a tour of the building with cops even attempting to open some locked doors for him. Two and three cops with a perfect opportunity to waltz his ass to jail.

The "shaman" has his scary face in jail/prison. So, what do you think? The courts where propaganda goes to die 'found something' Tucker can't discover in the tapes? Also, Tucker Carlson is a January 6 denier, and a proven provocateur. CEO of Fox News has stated it in so many words. That is, Tucker Carlson is a damn liar. One has to wonder (and you should) why he is still allowed entry into Fox News to 'pillage' the hearts and minds of FOX News viewers.

He was coerced into a confession looking at the same shit the J6 scummittee did and NOT the present revelations. Even though he knew he shouldn't be in the place (which is about the only thing he did wrong) he figured they had a lot more than they did. Probably foolish enough to think they would lighten any punishment if he confessed.

Perhaps you will be okay with supplying a quick and dirty listing of these "present revelations" offered up by Tucker Carlson, the tv-show personality called out by his own franchise-player boss as a bad-faith "endorser" of Trump's myth of a stolen election.  Do provide us a good enough reason for why we should find Tucker's opinion/alternative rationale more credible than a court of law in the Shaman's trial and Rupert's disposition on this matter.

From the incendiary speeches to the physical insurrection itself.

The fact that the riot was premeditated is not in doubt.

  4. 40% of Americans will believe the Jan 6th committee false narrative.
  5. The divide in America will harden.

It is called propaganda. Just repeat the lie over and over. Well the counter to that is just repeat the truth over and over as needed. It is sad that Fox News is caught by its own CEO/Founder-the one man in this world who has the greatest love of all for his creation: Fox News. And still, the Trump/MAGAns persist in lying and delusion when the network's owner won't do the same. It's disheartening. But, we will get over it—we have no choice.

Of course, some conservatives are friends of policing agencies until it is convenient that they are not!  It is evident that Tucker Carlson does not value Officer Sicknick's life and death as many of us do:

"Finally, the most disturbing accusation from last night was that our late friend and colleague Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with his heroic actions on January 6. The Department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day."

Sicknick’s mother and two brothers responded to Carlson's characterization of the officer's death by saying Carlson's "'truth' is to pick and choose footage that supports his delusional views that the Jan 6th Insurrection was peaceful."

New footage from the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021 shows Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick walking around the complex after Democrats and the media claimed he was brutally murdered. The clips aired on Monday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and were reportedly viewed previously by “investigators working for the Democratic Party,” according to Carlson.

Sicknick’s Jan. 7 death was immediately exploited by the left. The New York Times reported directly that Sicknick died—according to the paper’s headline—“From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage.” One month later, the Times   quietly corrected   its reporting.

Meanwhile on planet earth, anyone who has had realtives who were police officers knows that they have higher incidence of stress, higher blood pressure and higher risk for heart disease and strokes as a result of their career choice.

Several of these are older but not any less relevant.

Stress triggers heart attacks, high blood pressure and PTSD.

It's undeniable. 

Could a small brain bleed have started because of the pressure/stress or maybe from the jostling and being hit in the helmet a few times.  Of course.  The possibilities of the adrenaline load and stress could have masked his initial problems until he collapsed.

The cause and effect are pretty obvious to most people, that had there been no riot or had he not been on duty that day, he would still be with us, maybe.

And within the narrow confines of this word, "maybe" is where some conservatives have set up housekeeping related to Mr. Sicknick. Maybe he died because of poor health, maybe heart disease, maybe an unknown medical condition, maybe an addiction, maybe deep and abiding anxiety, maybe early onset of old age, shall we continue with the possibilities?

What we know without a doubt before his death, Officer Sicknick fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted. This is reported to us by the Capitol Chief Thomas Manger. It's fact and not a cadre/world of alternative maybes!

If you are willing to call out as liars the people who serve to protect our government officials in the performance of their duties, why should we believe anything you write on this subject without providing evidence? Some conservatives could be providing talking points/opinions delivered from Tucker Carlson's mouth to conservative ears. And I can confidently tell you this, Tucker Carlson is no more a journalist with professional integrity than I am one.

Believe the Capitol Police that have the files, the location, and a reason to want to get to the bottom of this tragedy.

No maybe to the DC medical examiner.  Brian Sicknick died following two strokes on 7 Jan.  The strokes were due to a basilar artery blood clot, which caused damage to his brainstem and cerebellum.[

And there is the 'unspoken' rub. These middle aged white men were given the benefit of the doubt by capitol police that they would not flagrantly attack the Capitol, simply because. . .well. . . they are responsible, disciplined, flag-waving, models of decency. So the capitol left itself open to the public because it 'trusted' in the good will and good sense of those rushing towards onto its campuses.

Those men failed on two accounts: 1. They attacked the Capitol itself. 2. They attacked law enforcement and beat the living 'daylights' out of the "boys in blue."

From this experience, capitol police have learned a valuable lesson: Never extend trust to middle-aged white en-mass again!

The PoTUS isn't responsible for DC security, period. As for where he was- his Secret Service detail hauled his ass out of there to keep him safe. If you followed the Jan 6th Committee investigation against Trump's will at that.

What was he doing?

Watching it on tv like everyone else. What was he supposed to be doing? They won't let him go back to the Capitol.

You think they aren't prepared for men in black with masks?

Obviously not. Otherwise there wouldn't have nearly been as much damage to the Capitol as the "Summer of Love" riots caused. But Bowser painted Black Lives Matter on the streets surrounding the White House; so I am sure that made everything OK in leftist land.

You don't think it was worse being attacked by people that looked like you who thought they were doing a patriotic thing? Oh the conundrum...middle aged white men attacking mostly white police officers./S

Turn in your race card right fucking now! I swear the racist shit leftists say. A simple damn search shows the DC police force is majority black- by close to 500 members! If you add in Asian and Hispanic that puts it over 1,000 non white members! I am sure the mostly minority DC police force loved being attacked by their own during the "Summer of Love" riots. I am especially sure they loved being attacked by people that wanted them dead; or gone! Forgetting the whole "defund the police" movement by Democrats and leftists?

Yes. Just as I am sure you did when trying to again deflect it back to Jan 6th riot.

Jack_TX, some conservatives can consider me anything they wish and it will not make it so. I think white people are some of the most interesting, beautiful, smart, certainly ambitious people on this planet and I have thought this since I was a little boy, and white men would come to our house as salesmen (back in the day) and always, always, they would have one hand in a pants pocket with coins in it and they would 'jingle' the coins. My eyes would get big as 'saucers.' :)  Concurrently to that last, black men could not go 'door to door' to white neighborhoods (back in the day) and sale them. . . $hit. It was the essence of a double-standard. Black people did not mind the "presence" of whites in our homes sitting on our couches and selling us or talking to us about . . . whatever it was they wanted to involve us in to acquiring.

I almost married a white man and he is the story of my life! Even today, he is in my memory as many of my password accounts are a 'tribute' to his memory. So you can project and repeat propaganda about me (and race) all you want it won't change how I feel about the 20 percent negativity some conservatives achieve here daily and the lack of assenting the 80 percent positivity between "us."

BTW, as far as I know I am the black person acknowledged here-in this online community-who has make virtual friendships with people known by me to be. . . wait for it. . .White people. So your claim of me displaying "rampaging racism" is at best projection, at worse misguided.

I can be your virtual friend too if/when you decide to respect me/others who can respect you as a conservative not demanding liberals be. . . "You."

Do not  project onto me and don't be let yourself be misguided.

Let's return to this one again. Such unmitigating bull. I recommend some conservatives STOP selecting chopping other people comments up into poor quality pieces, especially when leaving off message contexts. Here is a repeat opportunity for you to reread my message (in its full context):

6.1.36   CB   replied to  Split Personality @ 6.1.30     2 days ago
Oh the conundrum...middle aged white men attacking mostly white police officers./S

And there is the 'unspoken' rub. These middle aged white men were given the benefit of the doubt by capitol police that they would not flagrantly attack the Capitol, simply because. . .well. . . they are responsible, disciplined, flag-waving, models of decency. So the capitol left itself open to the public because it 'trusted' in the good will and good sense of those rushing towards onto its campuses.

Those men failed on two accounts: 1. They attacked the Capitol itself. 2. They attacked law enforcement and beat the living 'daylights' out of the "boys in blue."

From this experience, capitol police have learned a valuable lesson: Never extend trust to middle-aged whites en-mass again!

I do not have/never did/never will probably, equip myself or associate myself with any ideology that suppresses white people or conservatives-I am pretty sure some conservatives can't say or write the same!

You can't change reality with gaslighting or by grievance inversion. Believe whatever you want. You say plenty about black men/women/children in myriad ways diminishing as some conservative are prone to doing, and as a some conservative associate you do more then any black person (or liberal) can do in the opposite direction.

Jack_TX, we're all thinking people here. It should not be a surprise! We all know what bull $hit looks like, walks like, talks like, and some of us even get heaps of bull $hit heaved in our faces just for 'being.'  Miss me with another helping 'hand' full. My bull $hit 'pot' is full to its brink.

I can't/won't be gaslighted by you, Jack_TX and I do not accept your grievance against me.

One last thing: If/when a black, homosexual, man born under (some) white male oppression and suppression can't tell some conservatives they are full of $hit for trying to eliminate our upward motivation and ability to live as liberals without constant conservative interruptions up and down the line and repression, that truly will be the day some conservatives have 'won' their motivational agendized so called, "culture wars."

Now, its done under a guise/mask of so-called, demonization of 'everything' liberal. And even worse, some conservatives are gearing up with a conservative court system to try to $hit can and re-stigmatize the LGBTQ community (even as this nation continues to take whatever monies it can/when it can/from them/us.

I have about as much respect for some conservative women as I do for some conservative men when they play suppression games with other people's rights and freedoms. Oh yeah, liberals have rights and freedoms too and they are the same as conservative rights and freedoms or more. I thought you knew!

Just treat Tucker Carlson like a dodgy black man and he would be 'gone' from the airways in a hot sec.  And on his own merit as a white man, Tucker Carlson is dodgy, but he gets to play games with the country, because he has value-misplaced though it be.

Tucker Carlson should not have a job! 'Working' to take down the government and gravely divide the country used to mean getting a visit from the proper authorities. Aligning oneself with political  subterfuge designed to split the union apart used to mean a date with the proper authorities. Apparently when one is white s/he can have a seat in the house of the people; deliberately lie, and talk about 'whiteness' and conservatism as though people of color and liberalism are yet slaves to the slandering of their good names!

Tucker Carlson should not have a job speaking to the people of this country at all, let alone receiving documents from the House of Representatives Speaker! 

Right now there is too much talk going on. Not enough outrage! If this was a black 'fake' journalist in the face of the public. . . the "show" would be over and done. Ticket punched already!

Why are conservatives acting like we didn't know that some Capitol Police Officers were complicit with the invasion of the Capitol?  It was announced that there would be investigations into the Capitol Police after Jan. 6th - some were reprimanded, some were fired and at least one was charged with obstruction.  It was all over the news at the time, so no, it's surprising at all that some complicit Capitol Police Officers would escort Q-Shaman and others around the building.

Again, you're full of ASSumptions with no substance.  None of these videos change the fact that the people prosecuted were prosecuted for a reason.  An instance of them being non-violent doesn't negate the violence they did perpetrate.  And, I stand by my original comment (in case you've forgotten what it was) which was that we all knew that some of the Capitol Police were complacent with the invasion of the Capitol and that there were investigations of those officers, that some were reprimanded, some were fired and at least one was charged with obstruction so there's no big gotcha there like you people seem to think there was.  

BTFW I never defended the summer riots and actually denounced them so you can fuck off with your attempted deflection and strawman, especially in the light of you defending what happened on January 6th.
