A person. Unarmed. At the hands of the state.

Ahh…the other ones do not count.

Got it.

And that action was not justified?

What other ones?

So, the answer is, “No, he did not use any unconstitutional means to influence the EC.”

The answer is “yes, he tried to interfere and influence with the Constitutional duties of the legislative branch in violation of the separation of powers doctrine of the Constitution.”

@WuWei

What other ones?

Ah yes…those were deemed not attributed to the actions on the 6th.

So I retract that assertion.

There were over 100 injuries, to the DC police, some pretty serious.

But at least they did not die.

Which "serious’? Such as?

Which "serious’? Such as?

Shortly after 2:00 p.m., several rioters attempted to breach a door on the West Front of the Capitol. They dragged three D.C. Metro police officers out of formation and down a set of stairs, trapped them in a crowd, and assaulted them with improvised weapons (including hockey sticks, crutches, flags, poles, sticks, and stolen police shields) as the mob chanted “police stand down!” and “USA!”[453] At least one of the officers was also stomped.[454]

Some rioters beat officers’ heads with lead pipes,[455] others used chemical irritants, stun guns, fists, sticks, poles and clubs. Some trampled and stampeded police, pushed them down stairs or against statues or shone laser pointers in their eyes. One D.C. Metro officer was hit six times with a stun gun, beaten with a flagpole, had a mild heart attack and lost a fingertip.[452][456] Three officers were hit on their heads by a fire extinguisher allegedly thrown by a retired firefighter.[

I know…pretty mild stuff…right?

[WuWei]

The fingertip isn’t. What are the injuries?

I pinned the gas shortage on Biden.

Did they tell colonial to pay the ransome?

Biden the disaster magnet.

@Camp

Biden the disaster magnet.

Another Jimmah

[Camp]

I missed that.

I heard let you voices be heard.

I also heard a call for peaceful…after the trouble was orchestrated.

[Camp]

Worse it would appear.

Carter was a likable god fearing gentleman.

[WuWei]

Oh yeah, I meant to bring this up for all the denyers.

This path isn’t fresh.

“Five years ago, President Chávez’s supporters helped to enshrine the principle of judicial independence in a new democratic constitution,” said José Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. “Now, by packing the country’s highest court, they are betraying that principle and degrading Venezuelan democracy.”

"(FOX NEWS) – More than 2,000 law enforcement officers were injured in the first weeks of protests over the summer following the police killing of George Floyd, according to a report released in October.

The Major Cities Chiefs Association, a professional association comprised of local law enforcement heads from the 69 largest police agencies in the United States and nine in Canada, detailed the unrest and compiled data from protests between May 25 and July 31 in MCCA member cities.

During that period, there were 8,700 protests nationwide; 574 were declared riots with violence and other criminal acts. The violence was limited to 7% of protests, the report said"

And yet the one in DC is the only one we hear mentioned by most of the media over and over and over again.

Nobody is talking…so… maybe.

May be.

May be the criminal group shut down afterwards due to losing access to the money.

May be. Some people are saying

[Camp]

They could also be spending that dough on rebranding from an Indonesian Island.

Maybe…

Which clause of the constitution did he break? You are surely not saying that the separation of powers means that branches of government are forbidden by the constitution to attempt to influence the behaviour of any other branch.

You know, I’d feel worse about it, but for McConnell’s shenanigans.
