Do you think all the Northerners moved South and all the Southerners moved North? Of course not. Southerners stayed where they were at, and over time, the Republican party took over the South, and it largely remains that way to this day. This event is not controversial, Greg, and you should stop attacking things we never said.

Parsing the words now......next you will be calling me Rich lol

Sure.....at least the parts that are not bullshit.

So you are saying you saw him ask them to march on down and protest peacefully (live speech) as well as the tweets requesting they stop rioting and respect the law (which twitter purposely restricted pretty much immediately) as well as the same live from the Rose Garden about an hour later which twitter also restricted? 

Given the content of those tweets and the Rose Garden speech as well as him asking them to keep the peace live at the event you still want to maintain he purposely incited them to violence? Hogwash.....

These GIFs Show How Much American Politics Has Changed Since The 1900s

Today, Democrats dominate densely populated urban centers and the coastal regions of the U.S., while Republicans cover America’s vast interior. For most of us, that is the only political reality we have known. However, it is a development of the last century.

Perhaps the most glaring change is that Democrats used to dominate the Southern states. That began to shift, however, with the Civil Rights Act of 1967. During the signing of the bill, President Lyndon B. Johnson famously told Bill Moyers, "I think we just delivered the South to the Republican party for a long time to come." While Johnson was right, interestingly, the change was gradual in the House of Representatives, where the Democrats' Southern stronghold was slowly eroded over the course of 30 to 40 years.


That is a totally different animal from what you 1st referenced about this......and long long after what you were discussing initially......The above is not disputed. What is disputed is the long running claim the left has made about the civil war ie the parties switched at that time as they were trying to hide from responsibility for slavery.....didnt happen.

Someone else copied and pasted the tweets that were restored showing the timeline..... one early afternoon and another mid afternoon and the video of the rose garden speech was posted to twitter about an hour after the 2nd tweet according to more than one source. Are you saying the twitter time stamps are off? I cant imagine why twitter would try to help Trump out by changing the timestamps to earlier when they were the who restricted them.....

Should Trump have pre-empted national TV the minute the rioting started asking for peace? Could he have? Would that have stopped all the finger pointing? Hell no, it wouldnt have.....They would have just kept claiming he incited it on purpose anyway and was just covering his ass lol

The hearings on Jan 6th are yet another case of kabuki theater just like the impeachment was......political assassination with a lot of grandstanding, twisting events interspersed with straight up lies with just enough truths throughout to suck in as many suffering from cognitive dissonance as possible.....

Ok, you got me ..... yep you are right, both sides do it..... but the left have raised it to an artform lol

As for the part about Trump.....seems you need to admit all Presidents use lies to direct the public to where they want them or need them to go.....and if Trump was the master of it he would still be President for a 2nd term....in fact the ones who master it do get a 2nd term smile

Do you think Greg might get that through his head? 

What part of "Ok I am all caught up on the hearings and the posts in here" when I jumped in this discussion did you not comprehend dickweed? Ahhhh that bastion of truth the Hill strikes again LOL

Bob Hope nailed you down a long time ago Rod..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a6YdNmK77k

Additionally, the GOP leadership favored an independent commision to investigate January 6th as did the Democrats but the same GOP leadership reneged on it. Maybe now Mel will catch on...

And both of them are 1st rate examples of the finest RINO's the Dims could rope in....... smile

The real reason there are not more Reps on the committee is they knew this was going to be a no expense spared, no lie too atrocious race to keep Trump from running again.... "Come on Man".....(doing my best Buydown imitation"
