Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”

Trump disagrees, apparently.

“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.

    There are 100 people on the trolley and you’ve just put all of them at risk.

    Plus if you don’t see much difference between those two, I can’t imagine the level of privilege you live with. I certainly doubt you’re trans for instance, or in a situation where you may need an abortion, if you’re saying that.

      You know the real privilege we all live with? Peace. Not being the targets of mass-murder campaigns.

      So yes, I’d rather things get worse for a small part of our population for a short while if it means we can stop our government from actively funding a literal genocide.

      And not that it’s any of your business, but I am trans (enby) and my partner and I fairly recently (post-2020) narrowly avoided needing an abortion.

          Same way if Biden wins: it doesn’t.

          Though at this point, it’s looking like it’ll already be too late by inauguration time.
