Sean Dafoe claimed 6 officers were killed during the capital hill riots live on AIR and wasnt fact checked.
There's amazing levels of idiocy and gullibility surrounding that event.
left wing are without doubt the worst culprits for pushing blatant lies and misinformation.
Objectively untrue, which is rather ironic.
Emm, you’ve obviously never heard Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity or any number of the right wing nut jobs on American radio.
Was it a simple mistake though? What were they talking about in the segment? It seems strange that Ireland AM would have a serious discussion about the 6th January insurrection two days before Christmas?
You are attempting to claim this was a serious error, when it could just as well be a misstatement, taking the total deaths (including the suicides) and not clearly stating that. Also, are you really expecting Tommy Bowe to come back to him to fact check?
The real idiocy and gullibility about the event is the right wing trying to claim that it was 1st Antifa, then it wasn't really anything to worry about, then it was just people wanted to voice their concerns, then that Trump had nothing to do with it, then nobody had any weapons and on and on. That is clear disinformation and attempt to deny the reality.
A light entertainment reporter, two days before Christmas, not being fact checked by a daytime TV presenter is not a story.
"Trump asks Supreme Court to block release of his White House records to January 6 committee"
For someone innocent of inciting an insurrection he sure is going to a lot of bother to block all his correspondence from time around said insurrection
Makes you wonder! What is he hiding??
Tick Tock Donald Trump, Tick Tock
Sure its the same as his tax returns. For a man with nothing to hide (apparently) he doesn't half spend a lot of time in court. All the fault of the "radical Democrats" though, I'm sure.
Or sues journalists who say that he's worth millions, rather than billions, yet settle out of court to avoid discovery
Yep, tip of the iceberg. The guy is just a textbook narcissist. It's brutal to watch.
If he has nothing to hide why is he trying to hide it?
Same for Mark Meadows
And I am going to throw Jim Jordans in there also because he is totally going to go down that route too am sure
Even if this lie was in fact true, it still wouldn't have been enough for him to win. It seems that Donald can't count either, in addition to being an out and out psychopathic liar.
Love this from Rand Paul
erm that is how elections work 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
What an idiot 😂
...
Wait for Conservatives media mouthpieces to say that 'The Dem's admitted what they were doing when Rand Paul called them out and they agreed with it!!!'
"I just wish her well, frankly.”
Will Trump be announcing his intention to run again? Obviously picked this date to cause as much outrage as possible therefore giving him maximum exposure.
He’ll be rattling out a pile of aul nonsense, some half wits will lap it up everyone else will wonder what the hell that was about. It will get far more attention than it deserves and it will continue getting him talked about. Eventually some of his supporters will be on social media claiming he made some great points and then other morons will come along and use MSM as a phrase that they think makes a point but really it will just show that they too are gullible half wits. The world will then continue turning.
The media should pay no heed to him.
If they must, the headline should read...
"Fake-tanned small man rants from behind a tiny desk spouting bullsh1t debunked by every court in the land"
Seems so!
But they still turned using their own free will. Trying to absolve them of some blame to attack Trump is ridiculous.
there is responsibility on both sides. Trump for the lies he peddled and the anger he stoked and the people who were dumb enough to believe a lifelong liar.
Yes I agree. But it seems some are absolving them of blame to try and lay it solely on Trumps door. Some of these people traveled a long way to do what they did. They they are getting heavy prison sentences is good to see.
Nobody is "absolving" anyone.
But the fact of the matter is that these people wouldn't have been near the Capitol if it wasn't for Trump's goading.
I believe you mean Trump's INCITEMENT
Until the Jan 6 committee concludes its investigations, we won't know who financed the insurrection, either, but there've been rumors that it was #2xIMPOTUS's backers. A (debunked) story had Ginni Thomas, the USSC judges wife, paying for busses. Turns out she was merely cheering the insurrections on.
Time will tell, hopefully.
Yeh. If you want.
It's difficult to know how deep various parts were played and even after the investigations are concluded I'd say that we'll still be quite in the dark on the larger picture. Trump is more than happy to let his circle of cronies fall, as we've seen over the past couple of years, while he remains quite insulated. There might be a few inconsequential heads rolling, but I can't see any major outcomes.
151 rioters have pleaded guilty for their role in the Capitol insurrection so far.
