But the sugar is your unquestioning drinking of Kool aid.

And you didn't bother to think what it means?

So you know, because of the Freedom of Information Act, and other Acts that allow classes of information to be subpoenad, there is no government level device replacement or update that ever occurs without multiple backups of all data that could be requested based on these laws. The law itself mandates that all such records need to be backed up, and anytime one agency is doing replacement or updates of devices, there are lawyers from other agencies who review the work, so there's really no way for there to not have been multiple backups of those texts, because Secret Service phones are government property, and intra-agency texts, while not something the public can request, can in fact be legitimately requested by Congress.

Now, the Secret Service can reasonably claim deletion during device replacement. It does get deleted in that process. When they also say "no backups were found", then come back to me, and we can discuss why there's no backup.

Ass covering is a perfectly good explanation. You don't need a conspiracy.

You're a textbook example of that. Superficial reading comprehension skills. Inability to explore beyond two-three branches of a logic tree. Prone to repetitious use of catchphrases, often perceived as insulting or witty.

Please do reply with more of the same. It's fascinating to observe.

You know, I can't quite say that you're totally deluded here. There was definitely a deep disgust at authority, especially police authority. And violence did break out in reaction to that authority, so those situations that turned violent do fit the definition of insurrection, just as the situation on Jan 6.

But in such a discussion of moral relativity, it should matter how authority responded to those questioning it, no? And that's where a very stark gap emerges, again with an overwhelming flood of video and photographic evidence.

So accepting there were insurrections in 2020, do you believe there's a difference between an insurrection occuring in response to violent reprisal from authority, and one that occurs without such violence from government/the state?
