You're agreeing it's sensationalized? Thank you.

No Marti, I didn't make the claim of sensationalism but you did! I just juxtaposed it with the same claim that you made to highlight your hypocrisy.
Do you ever wonder why so many give up on your pathetic sh*t? :laugh:

Your entire take on this is sensationalized. From declaring it to be some massive coup attempt to then posting that video as a "credible" source when they have people on there comparing things to Weimar Germany.

Why aren't you standing by your video? Why aren't you posting bit after bit from it instead of meandering off into personal attacks?

Q: You know what you call attempted insurrection and takeover of a nation's seat of government when its leaders are not punished?

A: Rehearsal.

Yes, the proximate cause of the Civil War was the failure of the government to punish the ringleaders of the Whiskey Rebellion and Fries's Rebellion...oh wait...

Thank goodness we hanged Davis, Lee, Longstreet, Benjamin, Stephens, Breckinridge, etc. If we hadn't done that, our country would never have been unified and grown into the most powerful country on the planet Instead it would have seen another Civil War...oh wait.

Your point is a giant failure. Next time, before you post it, look for counter examples first. That might prevent you from reaching a poorly thought-out conclusion.

Hmmm.

Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, spent two years shackled to a wall in a Virginia prison.

Alexander Stephens, the vice president of the Confederacy, was arrested and held in prison at George’s Island in Boston until October, 1865. He was released from indemnity by Andrew Johnson, a pro-slavery, anti-Black President. He was elected to the Senate, which refused to allow him to sit.

They were the leaders of the confederacy.  (Generals follow instructions of leaders, considered to be combatants, and thus are treated differently.)

Your post is a giant failure.  Next time, before you post it, learn what the f*** you're talking about.

Since you consider these to be stern punishments, then I assume you are in favor of a 2-year sentence for whomever you blame for all of this and attribute as the head, and then 6 months for the sidekick. And everyone else being let go.

Thank you for being reasonable. Yes, one person gets 2 years. One other person gets 6 months.

Mr. C supports Proud Boys leader getting 2 years, Proud Boys deputy 6 months, no charges for anyone else for Capitol riot. I agree with Mr. C. I think that is fair.

You don't think I, the person who rambles about the Civil War and has posted various minutae about it didn't know that? You walked right into the trap. Now you either have to agree that those are sufficient punishments OR twist yourself in knots.

Again, THINK before you post. You were so focused on the detail that you missed the big picture and what you were doing.

My impression was you thought nothing had happened to them.  Apologies.

1) Donald Trump shackled to a Virginia prison wall for 2 years (just for the Jan. 6 speech), yes please.
2) Read for understanding, Stephens was pardoned so the charges of treason (a death sentence) were dropped.
3) Davis was released on bond and fled to Canada, and like the other Confederate leaders, was pardoned by Johnson.

Yes, I agree those you mentioned should be tried for treason, not pardoned, and sentenced to death.  But I'm not a big fan of the death penalty except for rare cases, so a long imprisonment is fine by me.

Clearly what happened was equivalent to the bloodiest conflict in American history that literally split the country in two.

What happened was obviously far closer to the Civil War than the Whiskey Rebellion.

Can't find Rebellion Whiskey, but I actually like bourbon better.
