I knew Ryan personally and watched him deteriorate before the election. Will be interesting to see what he releases.

🚨 Patriots, brace yourselves.

This is the J6 entrapment story the feds DON’T want you to hear.

I’m a Marine who risked everything to save lives during hurricanes.

But two men I trusted—Marcus DiPaola and 1%Watchdog—set me up for YEARS, from 2018 to the Capitol chaos.… pic.twitter.com/OqIp5nKwZp

I believe your friend, but I also believe nothing will get justice served.

I don't understand what's going on in this thread.

FYI this is the guy running against Moran in TX-1.

His campaign lasted two days. He's already ended it.

He is not mentally well and that mental unwellness probably started well before January 6th.

This is not a guy who just wandered into the building. This is one of the guys in the front who pepper sprayed officers, used a bullhorn to direct the crowd into the Capitol, called for people to bring their weapons to the front, and then afterward posted social media videos calling for actual violence.

In the weeks leading up to January 6th he built a hidden compartment in his truck to store his guns that he brought with him to DC. He took a crowbar to the protest. The friend who went with him brought a hatchet. What he did was pre-planned.

I assume he's going to claim he was conned into it by other people.

The years of jail in DC under very rough conditions did not help his mental state. I'm hoping he's not going to do something terrible. He's clearly struggling.

I still can't get my head around anyone who defends what happened on 1/6/21. If that had happened this year, most everybody on this site would be calling for public executions. The pep rally mentality of modern politics is embarrassing.

I can't defend anyone who brought weapons with them and clearly went to the Capitol intending to do harm.

I do feel bad for the people who were just there to protest who got caught up in it, which I think was the vast majority.

I also believe the rights of many people involved were violated and the pretrial confinement conditions were substandard at best. I don't think that justifies the blanket pardons.

We don't even know the full truth of what happened that day.

We do know that the "committee" that "investigated" it destroyed all their evidence. We do know that it was not an attempt to overthrow the government. We do know that leftists refused more security that day, despite Trump offering it. We do know that many people were jailed without bail for long periods of time. We do know that Ray Epps was the most obvious instigator and he didn't spend a single night in jail. We do know that it was not what the left has continuously lied and said it was.

We would have never seen that happen. Because the right doesn't weaponize the government against its own citizens. The right doesn't stage large entrapment events. The right doesn't suspend the Constitution when political enemies are making nuisances of themselves.

Says the guy whose party demanded people be injected with untested chemicals. Says the guy whose heroes spied on an American presidential candidate. Says the guy whose president raided the home of a political enemy on completely false pretenses. Says the guy who voted for people to suspend free speech on the internet.

But again, had an anti-Trump mob done the exact same thing with the exact same results on 1/6/25, what do you think the MAGA response would've been? And would any of them expressed any compassion for the treatment of any of the protestors, violent or not? Easy answer. No. The hypocrisy of politics in 2025 is absolutely frightening.

Hypocrisy on a hypothetical..thats a new one. Take the L

Who has defended it? Saying it wasn't the "insurrection" or "attempted coup" the MSM and Dems claim it was =/= defending.

As much as I want to find out the truth behind JFK and Epstein, I think I want to know the identities of these guys more. I can't believe with all the resources of the federal government at Trump's disposal he has not found out who these guys are.

I will scream it until I am blue in the face...them all wearing black socks...what are the effing mathematical odds of that...with ANY group of 5-6 dudes?

I firmly believe it was a low-key identifier of sorts.

I mean, the left literally did this to private and public property across the United States duing the lockdowns. The hypocrisy begins and ends with one side. Its the double standard being applied that most on the right are upset with. We like the singular tier of justice.

Honestly, if the FBI has been weaponized by the GOP and CLEARLY AND OPENLY used as an instrument to rig/influence an election in my candidate's favor, I would have understood completely if liberals stormed the capitol and got violent and destructive. Finally the left would have had a worthy cause to cause a ruckus over.

But this isn't something the GOP does. It's something YOUR part does/did.

Yep, the left destroyed entire sections of cities...some of which have never been the same since.

All because a pregnant woman robbing career felon OD'd on enough fentanyl to kill a small village while under arrest for counterfeiting money.

You mean like how Team Blue tried to blow up the Capital Building?

Or do you mean when Team Blue stormed the Capital in a riot trying to stop the legitimate swearing in of a SCOTUS candidate including trapping members of Congress in the restrooms and demanding they violate their oath to their constituents and change their vote to what Leftist's want?

Which one?

Aggie Dad Sip said:

Easy. First, I've said multiple times on these forums that anyone who damages or destroys private or public property for any reason should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Second, the BLM riots were unconscionable. But see my first point.

But the J6 crimes were next level. The J6 mob tried to interfere with the constitutional duty of Congress to certify a free and fair election. They also tried to breach the secret service security detail protecting VP Mike Pence while chanting, "Hang Mike Pence!" Do you really think it's the same?

And if a mob of liberals stormed the capitol tomorrow with the same actions and objectives, while chanting "Hang JD Vance!", what would your response be?

Yeah, yeah. I know. You don't address hypotheticals. But only because you exist in a the weirdest world of hypocrisy I've ever seen.

---

I can believe that people should be held accountable and get due process.

Or is due process only reserved for the hand tattoo guys?

You do realize there were people who were escorted into the capitol, walked around like a tour and sat in jail without trial for a really long time, right? Yup, some people caused damage and harm and should be punished appropriately. If people said hang Mike Pence, well that is stupid, but is it really a crime? Actually hanging Mike Pence would be something I would want to see prosecuted. But then again, I don't guess the people who said hang Mike Pence were prosecuted, they were just incarcerated and held.

January 6 crimes were not next level, but January 7th and beyond were. People were jailed without charges and trial. You need some perspective. These people protested and voiced their opinion. The government and media went full brown shirt. That is the real danger to democracy, not some people protesting.
