    Insurrection? Depends on how you would look at what happened, I have heard from many politicians on that day, suggesting that *THIS* is not who we are, I disagree this is EXACTLY who we are. It could of been far

    They caused property damage to the Capitol. It was an armed insurrection.

    When protesters cause property damage to a Federal Building in Portland or Seattle, because they are angry at the government, is that also considered an insurrection?

    Webster defines "Insurrection" as "an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government."

    So what the "protesters" did certainly could be seen as "insurrection". But you'll never hear that from the Lefties. Remember Lefties are "Rules for thee, but not for me."

    There was more than damage to government property. The insurrectionists'
    target was Congress, the federal government itself.

    Not so. The January 6 insurrectionists attempted to remove Congress from
    power. They were seeking to at the very least use physical force to get Congress to bow to their wishes. That is far more serious than mere property damage.

    There was more than damage to government property. The insurrectionists' target was Congress, the federal government itself.

    So was the target in Portland. Difference being that the building in
    question was the only part of the "federal government" that could be accessed without effort.

    Did anyone enter the building in Portland, or was all of the damage external? Also, attacking some federal building in Portland is quite different than attacking Congress.

    Apparently Whitmer has been hit with another case of "rules for thee but
    not for me." Someone posted a photo, and then quickly took it down (but
    not quick enough) of her out in a crowded indoor gathering (bar or
    restaurant) with no distancing and no masks. She had to apologize after a paper in Detroit got ahold of it and reporters started asking questions.

    They did not get in only because they could not get in. They tried.
    Seeing that things might get out of control, someone had the sense to baracade it. IIRC, they did manage to throw/propel things into it, but I don't
    remember any reports of them being able to breech the baracade.

    A quick Google search shows that a federal barricade did not keep them out,
    but a protester barricade kept the federal officers in. Why would they breach their own barricade?

    Not only that, but Whit-less was forced to rescend some of her restrictions. She's finally realizing that her chances of reelection are poor.

    I don't know but the news footage last year did not show people trying to

    Perhaps because they were inside and the cameras were outside?
