      In the full version of his response to this question he says “Nobody died that day. Ashley Babbitt died that day.”

        I probably should do my due diligence and check to see if that’s true.

        But at this point I should just accept that his remarks about walking into the dressing room at Miss Teen USA were enough, and more is just overegging the pudding

            I can’t believe that’s real, but also, of course it’s real.

      They were loved to death! And the pipe bombs? More like love bombs! The gallows they put up in front of the capitol? Built with love! And they only wanted to find Pence to give him a big hug.

    Let’s ask canoe head Ashley Babbit’s insane mother.

    Or the woman trampled to death while comically hoisting the Gadsen “Don’t Tread On Me Flag”

    I do know that Trump loves poop 💩 and his supporters were smearing their own poop on the Rotunda walls; so maybe that’s the love he’s referring to.

    Maybe he loves that so many of his planarians got convicted and are sitting in prison while he is laughing and planning part 2.

    Ted Cruz seems to have loved it though, so there is that.

      Holy shit. You didn’t lie. Zero sympathy. They dragged away and beat up cops like animals. So my formal reaction to her untimely demise is: LOL!

    King George III love as depicted in the hit Broadway play Hamilton:

    “We have seen each other through it all. And when push comes to shove. I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!”

    A severe narcissist like him can only represent his own perspective. Outside perspectives don’t exist. From his perspective that was a day when the audience loved him and did what he wanted them to do.

    Hours after the carnage of that day, Trump told those people he loved them in his message to them.

    Well I guess it is a day of “love” when your only concept of love is “grab them by the pussy”

    I guess it was kind of a day of love because his supporters love him and loved beating up and killing capitol police and loved storming the capitol and loved breaking into offices and stealing laptops and smearing shit on walls and breaking things and trashing the place and wanting to hang Pence…
