A tweet versus an FBI press briefing[1] where they discuss charging hundreds of people with federal crimes, including conspiracy to commit sedition.

A tweet versus a statement from the Joint Chiefs of Staff that said, "The violent riot in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process."[2]

The whataboutism continues to be unreal.

Weird. I thought nicoffeine and I were having a pretty calm reasonable discussion there. I took no offense to anything that was said. I simply felt it was necessary to point out information that nicoffeine didn't seem aware of... like people do in normal discussions.

I didn't realize merely posting affidavits from the DoJ was considered political flamewars by anyone. It's a dry read, but it's unadulterated first party sourcing of fact.
