Or the gallows to do it. Plus guns had been recovered after the assault not to mention the pipe bombs placed around the nearby DNC. Or the poles used to attack capitol police and as battering rams to break into the building...

Mel, they could have burned the capitol to the ground and it wouldn't be enough for you or the rest of the cons. If that happened, we'd be hearing the spin that it was "only" the actions of a few or it was Antifa, etc, etc.

How about when Antifa shot President Trump in their attempt to murder him.  Does that count?  

How about when the Black Lives Matter people marched down the street chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry them like Bacon"?

I don't remember your outrage.  Can you point us all please to your posting about that?

"Many of those involved in the attack were armed, and several had guns that police later seized."

Antifa? Is  this what you are are conflating and confusing:  https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/15/politics/trump-fugitive-shooting/index.html

I don't think a guy shoveling snow looks like handguns to me...  I could be wrong, but a snow shovel isn't a handgun.  wink
Oh Itchy Richie, here's another link:

    According to Your link, guns were in a Truck and ON Capitol Grounds, which isn't INSIDE the Capitol Bldg.

They listed 3 in total of how many people that were there? 

Multiple 1000s were there. 

And it appears from your link that there weren't any guns inside the bldg.

If there were, your Politifact would CERTAINLY be playing it up for everything it is worth.   wink

How many people in BLM had guns on the street?  We know there were 30 deaths during the Summer of Love and well over 1000 cops injured caused by BLM and Antifa.
Nutzoid, do you actually think the rioters were going through a metal detector on their way inside?

And that's the point now isn't it, there wasn't ONE single gun inside the Capitol bldg, therefore No INSURRECTION.  

Thanks for confirming that fact.  So no Democrat Congressman was in fear of his/her life that day from being shot.  

BTW, One of your family members wasn't a crazy there that day were they?  I mean YOU being the California Redneck Gun nut and all.   wink
Nutzoid, Guns were confiscated on the capitol grounds so do you think the rioters just dropped them there on their way out? BTW, various Democrats intentionally mixed with their Republican counterparts because they believed the rioters wouldn't shoot at Republicans although they did want to hang one...

Filibuster question.

Alexander Hamilton said “how much good may be prevented, and how much ill may be produced if a minority in either house of Congress had the power of hindering the doing what may be necessary.”

A filibuster/super majority was only to be used for rare occurrences as written by the framers.

impeachments,  expulsion of members,  overriding a presidential veto, ratification of treaties,  amendments to the Constitution.

Starting with the Obama administration use of the filibuster has increased tremendously and on virtually every type of legislation, well beyond the constitutional 5 things.

So how did it come to this?  Especially the fact that 41 R senators, who only represent 21 % of the population get to basically run everything in their favour? 

Dave
As far as carving out the filibuster, the most recent case was back in 2017 when "then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., eliminated the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees, clearing the way for then-President Donald Trump's first nominee to be confirmed."

This IS the way banana republics operate worldwide.  If you can't get done what you want done through the political door, just remove the political door.
No they don't want to eliminate altogether.  They'll do either a carve-out or a talking filibuster as alternatives. Of course, we won't hear a peep from Richie when the Republicans do the same when the party of obstruction does it at their convenience...

Dave,
The reality is many of the cons don't like mixing the words "Democracy" with "Republic." I recall, in Utah for instance, there was a group of 'em protesting the word when used in conjunction with a "Republic".  I say, "was" because I don't know if they're still around, given the way covid's been taking 'em out over there since a lot of 'em don't believe in that, either...
