Pretty sure some people died that day

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 41 points 3 weeks ago

In the full version of his response to this question he says "Nobody died that day. Ashley Babbitt died that day."

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

I probably should do my due diligence and check to see if that's true.

But at this point I should just accept that his remarks about walking into the dressing room at Miss Teen USA were enough, and more is just overegging the pudding

I can't believe that's real, but also, of course it's real.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

And no one questions it.

overegging the pudding

Never heard that one but I kinda like it

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's English phrase I read a while back. They used it a half dozen times in the novel I was reading...

They were loved to death! And the pipe bombs? More like love bombs! The gallows they put up in front of the capitol? Built with love! And they only wanted to find Pence to give him a big hug.

Let’s ask canoe head Ashley Babbit’s insane mother.

Or the woman trampled to death while comically hoisting the Gadsen “Don’t Tread On Me Flag”

I do know that Trump loves poop 💩 and his supporters were smearing their own poop on the Rotunda walls; so maybe that’s the love he’s referring to.

Maybe he loves that so many of his planarians got convicted and are sitting in prison while he is laughing and planning part 2.

Ted Cruz seems to have loved it though, so there is that.

Holy shit. You didn’t lie. Zero sympathy. They dragged away and beat up cops like animals. So my formal reaction to her untimely demise is: LOL!

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 32 points 3 weeks ago

US Capitol riot policeman Brian Sicknick died after being assaulted with chemical spray by Jan 6th rioters.

[-] kinsnik@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

the reaction of the woman when he goes "Ashley Babbit was killed. Nobody was killed."

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

King George III love as depicted in the hit Broadway play Hamilton:

"We have seen each other through it all. And when push comes to shove. I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!"

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

This is Trumps idea of love so no surprise there.

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

A severe narcissist like him can only represent his own perspective. Outside perspectives don't exist. From his perspective that was a day when the audience loved him and did what he wanted them to do.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 11 points 3 weeks ago

I thought January 6th was done by Antifa and BLM? Thank you Trump for saying Antifa and BLM are People of Love!

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I had forgotten about that particular bit of talking out of both sides of their mouth.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Hours after the carnage of that day, Trump told those people he loved them in his message to them.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

We love ending democracy, amirite guys?!

... guys? /s

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

1984 eat your heart out. We truly have entered the doublespeak era.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Well I guess it is a day of "love" when your only concept of love is "grab them by the pussy"

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

he's asslighting the audience 💩

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I guess it was kind of a day of love because his supporters love him and loved beating up and killing capitol police and loved storming the capitol and loved breaking into offices and stealing laptops and smearing shit on walls and breaking things and trashing the place and wanting to hang Pence...

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

.... Love for me
