The world is rejecting right wing, Putin bootlickers even if J.D. Vance tries to throw them a lifeline. Poor Don will be so upset. And Orban even admitted he lost. Very un-Trumplike.

Orban had been blocking an EU aid package worth more than $100 billion for Ukraine. One assumes that will soon be delivered. Very good news.

And to think sending JD Vance to campaign for Orban was going to help? People were fed up of this shadow Russia regime. God I wished we were as smart but..🤷🏻‍♂️
Funny thing,Trump promised great business opportunities for Hungary if they re-elected Orban. Fucking Trump can’t even drum up business here to help Americans.,, but for Hungarian.. no problem

At least Orban had the decency to concede the election to keep his country from fracturing, rather than to try to conduct a coup and claim the election was fixed.

trump still thinks he's a king maker.  That hasn't been true for several years now.  Recall when trump wasn't in office after losing to Biden?  He endorsed a bunch of candidates in the mid-terms back then and only about 50% won.

J6 was a riot, not a coup. It’s time to heal the fractures in our country and move on from your line of thinking.

It was a dark day in our history. If these rioters or insurrectionist had there way, Trump would be serving his third term now

as a coup, then you must also use the same standard with the BLM takeovers of buildings and private property during the summer of 2020, yet no one has suggested that the occupation by a hostile, armed force of several square blocks of Portland, Oregon was also a coup against the local government.  Same tactics, smaller scale, bit "occupation" lasted several days rather than an hour or two.  Most notably, the Oregon occupiers set up barricades against the local police, while the Capitol police were allowed full access to every place the rioters went.  What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.  You can't have it both ways.

So let’s start there. I doubt all this occupation had any affect on my vote being canceled. Which was the goal of the Jan 6th coup  
History won’t be kind to the Jan 6th coup
History won’t remember all that BLM/occupation  nonsense  
Can’t equate the two… sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️

...several square blocks of Portland, Oregon was also a coup against the local government."

 
How was the occupation "a coup against the local government?"  
Which "local government" buildings did they OCCUPY?
What efforts did they make to OVERTHROW the "local government?"

make to overthrow the federal government?  Was it an armed militia storming the Capitol?  How do you overthrow a government with signs?  When you exaggerate like this, it makes your assertions look weak.

 
In the case of Portland, the local government conceded that the occupiers had seized an area of the city and residents were prevented from returning to their own homes.  Police made no effort to retake the seized land.

WRONG.....   BLM/ANTIFA rioters were trying to take over Portland.   They were trying to take over a city or "forming" a new city.   They were trying to take over and storm many federal buildings thru out the country.  It was organized.  They planned nightly attacks on federal/city buildings across the nation... over and over again.  Had road blocks (in Portland) and allowed only certain people in and out.      It amazes me how facts escape people on this.

 
J6th is a HUGE BLACK EYE on the country.    But when people are stating it was an "insurrection" and "over throw of government.   WRONG..... it was a riot that got out of control.    It started away from the capital, wasn't planned, was a hand full of bad actors.   Many others got charged with TRESPASSING and that is it.   Not organized.... etc.    It lasted a few hours not days upon days.      

 
To put it very lightly..... J6th was like a bunch of people at a kegger and then few people saying "lets streak the quad" and a bunch of the party goers start towards the quad... with a hand full that get naked and the rest sit around and watch the streaking.       That is how j6th unfolded.     At a Trump rally, Trump says go protest peacefully at the capital, on the way to the capital others started to come up with their own ideas.... at the capital started peaceful, then turned into a riot.      Yeah.... that is basically how it unfolded that day....and ENDED that day.    Nothing like the planned summer of love riots, take overs of federal buildings, planned protests, etc.    

 
People who can't see it for what it actually was.... BOTH the Antifa/BLM protests/riots/takeovers and J6th.... are blind to facts.      Nobody was charged under the insurrection act (see below). The major ones who got charged with sedation conspiracy stuff..... like mentioned above... the "lets go streak the quad guys".

 
From WIKI:

January 6, 2021 Capitol Attack — Charges and Convictions
As of January 20, 2025, 1,575 people had been charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack Wikipedia. By the third anniversary, about 1,200 had been found guilty Wikipedia. However, on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued blanket pardons to nearly all January 6 defendants, commuting their sentences to “time served” for those convicted Wikipedia. This left only 14 people with standing convictions, who were eligible for immediate release Wikipedia.

Charges and Convictions
No one was charged under the federal insurrection statute (18 U.S.C. § 2383) legalclarity.org. Prosecutors instead used other serious charges, such as seditious conspiracy, assault on federal officers, obstruction of an official proceeding, and property destruction legalclarity.org+1.

The most serious charge was seditious conspiracy, carrying up to 20 years in prison. Notable convictions included:

Stewart Rhodes (Oath Keepers founder) — 18 years for seditious conspiracy abcnews.com.

Enrique Tarrio (Proud Boys leader) — 22 years for seditious conspiracy and other felonies abcnews.com.

Hundreds of others pleaded guilty to lesser charges, including assaults on officers, obstruction, and property damage abcnews.com.

Current Status
Most convictions have been pardoned or commuted, so the number of active prison sentences is small Wikipedia.

In summary: While over 1,200 people were charged and many convicted in the years after January 6, 2021, the vast majority of those convictions have been overturned or commuted by pardons, and no one was charged with insurrection under federal law Wikipedia+1.

don't forget the organized attacks on federal buildings thru out the country.   ORGANIZED ATTACKS AND PROTESTS.

 
you know they tried breaking into court rooms, federal buildings, etc.    On an almost nightly basis.   Not a one time event....

 
They also call it an "insurrection" and nobody was charged with that.   You would think that if it was an insurrection people would have been found guilty of it.... correct?    Most of the people got charged with trespassing, obstruction, and assault.     Which is kind of funny that not many of these protesters now who obstruct, assault, etc. officers are getting charged with anything at all......hmmmm.    Same goes for the people who overtook Portland and formed "CHAZ".

Your own source does not totally refute the feces story. It is, at best, inconclusive.
Also, I don't read the NY Post.

"Disclaimer: Factually can make mistakes."  ROFLMAO!
Who ever heard of "Factually?"  COEUR-DE-LION has to resort to an obscure website to "prove" his point.

 
Anyone ever heard of "The Chicago Tribune?"  They've won 28 Pulitzer Prizes.  How many has Factually won???
The Trib reported:
"Pro-Trump rioters smeared poop in U.S. Capitol hallways during belligerent attack"

Even when Can't-Do-Links CAN actually do a link, it's from an unknown website with no credibility that admits it makes mistakes.  What a maroon!

So burning/destruction of a building is "OK"... but smearing poop that can be cleaned up isn't?    Both are fucking wrong.

 
BTW.... those "peaceful" riots on federal buildings had piss and shit thrown at them.    CHAZ clean up stated shit was everywhere along with needles.     But again you turn a blind eye to that stuff.

About Snopes's Bias Rating

Snopes is a fact check source with an AllSides Media Bias Rating™ of Lean Left.
What a "Lean Left" Rating Means

Sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating of Lean Left display media bias in ways that moderately align with liberal, progressive, or left-wing thought and/or policy agendas. A Lean Left bias is a moderately liberal rating on the political spectrum.
One of Snopes more infamous “fact checks” occurred when they rated a joke article in the Babylon Bee about AOC as “false”.

The problem with Snopes on the AOC article would have been if they rated the Bee story as "true."
I mean, isn't everything in the Bee technically "false?"
ChicKie needs to find a better example.
