The heck are you talking about, I am talking about the left in this case because that is the conversation we are having is you complaining that the left can't investigate orange man. I am simply stating that an investigation is pointless as nothing will come of it and it will be a waste of time and money, yet, you do some mental gymnastics and assume to know my thoughts on everything from that argument?

that you are looking to make lite of a situation that seriously threatened our very democracy (republic, if you will) (Hang Mike Pence - remember?) because it doesn't match up with your political convictions.

I thought I was clear, I stand on not wasting money on useless investigations that no one will ever get in trouble for or have anything happen to them, apparently you are ok with the waste of time and money to investigate everyone. Look, if anything ever came from these investigations and people would pay or get in trouble like you and I ( the commoners) would then I would say let the dogs loose. My point stays the same, these "investigations" are dog whistles, and politcal ads with soundbites paid for by the taxpayers and nothing ever happens. To summarize and make it extremely clear for you to understand. IF investigations ever resulted in anything I say go after all of the corrupt in government (left or right), but knowing nothing will ever come of it don't waste our time or money on it. These investigations are just a way for polticians to justify their salaries.. Clear enough?

So people went in without weapons, no one was seriously injured anyone, or killed anyone even though the initial reports said otherwise. The doors were opened from the inside and people walked around talking selfies, following the guide ropes, very little vandalism with priceless paintings all over the place. It was all done and over with by 1800 when they established a curfew, so everyone left and Congress was back in session that very night. No further protests followed either...
Just so we can at least meet half way, what was the serious threat?

Half the BLM protestors go to protests unarmed, yet find rocks, bricks, batteries (whatever) to do damage. It is intent. They intended to halt an election certification (and maybe hang a vice president or 2 for good measure) just as BLM criminals intend to do harm and damage when they go a-protesting too. I HATE using what-about-ism, but I guess I needed to put into terms that both the far left and far right could easily understand.
