    Let's see... there are States in which votes are still in dispute,

    There isn't any dispute. Some don't like the result.

    the relevant chambers take the disputed votes in without objection, and the whole deal is sealed with less than 10 dead?

    That's the way democracy works, the person with the most votes wins.

    No reason for any deaths at all.

    There isn't much of a dispute _now_ but there was certainly a bunch of people with decission making power that thought the electoral process in some of the States were questionable at best.

    It does not help that claims laid through the judicial system (famously the Texan one) were rejected for what ammounts to a form/technicality issue rather than a lack of evidence issue.

    The whole deal is specially bleeding because what people was expecting Pence to do was to defer the acceptance of the questionable votes a number of day for proper investigation to ensue. No reject them outright or anything. Given that time ran against the Republicans in general, I donñ t think it was an unreasonable expectation.

    Elections are run by states. If someone has a problem with a states way of running an election they need to bring that up before an election, not after.

    It does not help that claims laid through the judicial system (famously the Texan one) were rejected for what ammounts to a form/technicality issue rather than a lack of evidence issue.

    The Texan one was a farce. Texas has no standing in the way other states run their elections. Texas's only problem with other states elections was that they didn't elect the person they did. That is not grounds for a law suit.

    The whole deal is specially bleeding because what people was expecting Pence to do was to defer the acceptance of the questionable votes a number of day for proper investigation to ensue. No reject them outright or anything. Given that time ran against the Republicans in general, I donñ t think it was an unreasonable expectation.

    Some had the idea of putting forth a different slate of electors than what the voters selected. It's no surprise to me that congress wasn't going along with any of that.

    Congress does this after every election. Each state had previously certified their election and simply gave that to congress. It's ceremonial. There is nothing to defer, that states already certified their elections.

    That's only partially true. The popular vote does not win
    elections. Electoral votes win elections. Sad but true.

    There's nothing "sad" about it.

    Sedition was when Catalonia declared itself independent without running a clean referendum.

    This is protesting the official results, which is something that has been done by the left from 2016 in a much more destructive manner.

    The Catalonian authorities ran a referendum asking the population whether they wanted Catalonia to be independent from Spain, which had no voter accountability whatsoever (ie you could vote at three voting tables since nobody was ensuring people voted just once), and lacked impartial observers. They declared 90% of the population wanted independence (which is too high a number to be beliveable) and got the central gov invoke emergency powers and void the autonomic government. There is more to it, but that is the short story.

    For the record, I want a clear fair referendum to be carried out on that matter, because if it is shown they want to go, it is good riddance; if they show they want to stay, separatist politicians will be shown to be lacking support (which would be delightful too). What we got was a circus instead.

    I think taking a square and proclaiming it is no longer part of America is more insurrective than protesting because you think Pence is a betrayer and there has not been proper accountability in the elections. For that matter, all the shitshow with Black Panthers waving rifles in Atlanta and antifas putting people on their knees and forcing them to promise they were not going to vote for Trump is everybit as antidemocratic as protesting election results - if the elections are actually fair.

    Frankly, just the fact there were terror troops prowling around and beating everybody who showed the wrong political colors casts a very dubious shadow on the whole electoral process even if you don't take into account claims about ballot manipulation at all.

    However, a 30 seconds search turns a whole lot of stuff like:

    This picture taken about 7 months ago in Atlanta shows that Black Panther's idea of political agreement involves superior firepower: https://i.redd.it/4mzso8giqe351.jpg

    There are also lots of news of people beaten or harassed because they wear the wrong colors but the list is too extensive (and repetitive) to reproduce.

    If you want to hear of specific acts of insubordination, I think one of the most graphic is NYSE's refusal to go through the Executive Order which would delist Chinesse firms affiliated with Chinesse military activities. This order was emitted in Novembre before the Jan 6 was a thing and skipping it is an obvious case of "Fuck you, I don't recognize your authority."

    Yes, I have no doubt there are troubles in Portland. I don't know exactly what it's all about there but it pre-dates the George Floyd murder and the recent BLM protests, by a decade or so.

    This picture taken about 7 months ago in Atlanta shows that Black Panther's idea of political agreement involves superior firepower: https://i.redd.it/4mzso8giqe351.jpg

    I have not heard about the black panthers in decades! But yes, this is a real thing in the US. In many states you can carry a loaded weapon as long as it is not concealed. That's not reserved for white people.

    The black panthers from to 60's to 80's were similar to today's BLM movement, although it's not the same thing. The more things change the more they stay the same.

    There are also lots of news of people beaten or harassed because they wear the wrong colors but the list is too extensive (and repetitive) to reproduce.

    This is not a BLM thing. Wear the wrong colors in certain areas of certain cities and you can find yourself in a world of hurt.

    There have been clashes between Trump supporters and BLM supporters. This is a new phenomenon.

    If you want to hear of specific acts of insubordination, I think one of the most graphic is NYSE's refusal to go through the Executive Order which would delist Chinesse firms affiliated with Chinesse military activities. This order was emitted in Novembre before the Jan 6 was a thing and skipping it is an obvious case of "Fuck you, I don't recognize your authority."

    That is a whole different matter. If the NYSE want to go against an executive order there will be consequences, if the white house choses to do so.

    It could be the NYSE believes this executive order will not be enforced by the incoming white house.

    he should be charged with crimes and jailed once he leaves office.


    Crimes such as...?

    Inciting a Riot. There's a long list but I won't get into that.

    i didnt see him inciting a riot.
    he said we're going to walk down to the capital and cheer on our brave senators and congress men and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. because you will never take back
    our country with weakness, you have to show strength and be strong.

    then when it was going on i saw posts of him saying to be peaceful and respect the police.

    he may have incited a protest, which is not illegal.

    trump did nothing wrong in this case.

    EXACTLY!!

    Sedition is the incitement of resistance to or insurrection against a lawful authority.

    Donald Trump himself carried out the sedition and his followers carried out an insurrection.

    Well, it is probably the same damn people who say they've been "protesting peacefully" all Summer... for them that is code for "riot" so they just

    It is the definition of "fascism" that is different. For me, it is a totalitarian form of government exemplified by pre-WWII Germany, Italy, and Spain (pre and post WWII in their case) with a capitalist, but not

    For "Antifa," fascism = all forms of capitalism

    Donald Trump pardoned people in his inner circle, his advisors, for crimes they committed in his service.

    He also pardoned war criminals who murdered unarmed civilians in Iraq.

    That's the problem I have with Donald Trumps pardons.

    So did Obama (inner circle) and Clinton (inner circle for crimes committed

    And that is worse than domestic terrorists who blew up unarmed American civilians on US soil? Clinton and Obama both pardoned/commuted sentences
    for members of a group that did that.

    much, much more often that his predecessors used that power and what they
    used it for. Only things I can figure are it is because he is an "R", you

    And that is worse than domestic terrorists who blew up unarmed American civilians on US soil? Clinton and Obama both pardoned/commuted sentences for members of a group that did that.

    I would say it is. The USA has, over the years spent considerable time and resources litigating war crimes. Why any president would consider a pardon for a war criminal is beyond me.

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler Condemned Donald Trumps pardon of Michael Flynn. Flynn was the second Trump ally to be absolved of legal repercussions linked to their conduct surrounding the Russia investigation.

    And yet it seems to. Paraphrasing -- "Trump has abused his pardon/commutation power more than any President before him" ignores how much, much more often that his predecessors used that power and what they used it for. Only things I can figure are it is because he is an "R", you have something against him personally, or you have a very short attention span.

    Obama used his pardon powers more. Largely because he encouraged federal prisoners to apply for commutation under the Clemency Initiative.

    My interpretation of inner circle is much broader than that. Clinton pardoned/commuted sentences for former business partners and DNC donors,
    for example.

    I have given you names and examples, more than once. You ignore them each
    time so I won't bother.

    I don't think it is worse. It is equal, at best.

    Maybe I should contact Trump and see if he will take a page out of the Obama/Clinton book and pardon/commute a few domestic terrorists and
    seditions conspirators on the condition that they relocate to your area of
    BC? After all, their crimes are apparently not that bad, right?

    Obama used his pardon powers more. Largely because he encouraged federal priso

    Trump has been pardoning the falsely accussed and others whose punishments
    did not fit their crimes, including minorities. The same type of people

    To your point, though, there are no votes in dispute. All Presidential elections were certified and submitted on January 6 for the final tally. Making any argument to the contrary is creating a false narrative which is exactly what the Trump Administration and FOX News, OANN, and Newsmax want you to believe.
