Succeeded in "stopping" the certification. There's no mechanism by which they could have prevented Biden from taking office.Succeeded in what exactly?
Preventing Biden from taking office?
Or killing Mike Pence? Or someone else?

Nothing says "oppression" like being able to do a sit in at the capital.My Gallows and Guns are just as peaceful as a large group of oppressed women without any weapons!
I don't even know what you are talking about here. Well I do, but it's certainly not the argument you interjected yourself in.If the mob had been broken up and the leaders arrested? LoL - no, it would have made the "movement" seem as small and insignificant as it actually is - which is why the Capitol police stood down and allowed the Capitol to be occupied for a few hours. Try and imagine if the police had cordoned the flow of people to reinforced positions and segmented the crowd with tear gas. The thing that makes it a story is the couple dozen people assaulting a cop and the mob wandering through the Capitol. Angry mob broken up on the steps is less news than Portland Protests.
This is the worst thing you could have posted.you're buying the MSM narrative
No and wrong, and thanks for the title?Easy, Captain Gaslight, it was @Freeloading Rusty that brought that guy in to the conversation. No one has said it's a bigger story, you just made that up.
Business as usual.What if they succeeded in storming the capital and hanging Mike Pence? Would martial law have been called? And if so would Biden still have taken power?
right, because the Kavanaugh "storming" of the Capitol actually resulted in a disruption to the functions of democracy.No, this comparison was even stupider.
yes, because the Senators have to be given an opportunity to complete the confirmation hearing. So if the Sit-In never left, the Senate would not have been able to confirm Kavanaugh without reconvening at a different location.If the sit in successfully delayed the ceremony, would that have stopped Brett’s chances of being a judge?
These are the people he wanted support from, the wolves he welcomed into the fold.
Do you actually think that was a realistic possibility?yes, because the Senators have to be given an opportunity to complete the confirmation hearing. So if the Sit-In never left, the Senate would not have been able to confirm Kavanaugh without reconvening at a different location.
No. There law is clear that Congress must approve the next VP. There probably wouldn't be time for that, so the Speaker of the House would be next in line until Biden's Inauguration.What if they succeeded in storming the capital and hanging Mike Pence? Would martial law have been called? And if so would Biden still have taken power?
then the police would have stormed the place and kicked them out.Do you actually think that was a realistic possibility?
What would have happened if the rioters never left the capital building?
And where would this all go down? The rioters are still in the capital. They will never leave!No. There law is clear that Congress must approve the next VP. There probably wouldn't be time for that, so the Speaker of the House would be next in line until Biden's Inauguration.
no martial law, Biden assumes role on time...maybe Trump is prosecuted sooner, instead of holding off until he can be the mid-term boogeyman for Dems
and you don’t think they would have done that for the sit-in?then the police would have stormed the place and kicked them out.
they'll get hungry in a couple hours.And where would this all go down? The rioters are still in the capital. They will never leave!
if they didn't leave? eventually.and you don’t think they would have done that for the sit-in?
So then it wasn’t a threat to democracy was it? Brett’s hearing would have just continued when the cops dragged those ladies out.if they didn't leave? eventually.
as a last resort
Welcome to the False Equivalency Olympics. They're being held everywhere in the United States, all at once, for the foreseeable future. Everyone will win gold because logic is stupid and feelings are most important.So then it wasn’t a threat to democracy was it? Brett’s hearing would have just continued when the cops dragged those ladies out.
It also could have lead to Kavanaugh going "Oh, fuck this job."yes, because the Senators have to be given an opportunity to complete the confirmation hearing. So if the Sit-In never left, the Senate would not have been able to confirm Kavanaugh without reconvening at a different location.
Is the joint session of Congress to count and certify electoral votes a function of democracy?right, because the Kavanaugh "storming" of the Capitol actually resulted in a disruption to the functions of democracy.
The Jan6 mob "storming" caused no disruption in the functioning of democracy, because Electoral Count Act.
Then is that someone that should even be appointed to a lifelong position?!?!It also could have lead to Kavanaugh going "Oh, fuck this job."
