The US Congress passed a law about two years ago making it legal for the government to propagandize its own citizens. That was undoubtedly a if not the low point in the nation's history. I do not remember if elections were specifically excluded but I doubt it. I agree with you that J6 is and was pure propaganda but the Dems are desperate, knowing they are going to lose in November and lose bad. J6 was a demonstration, not an insurrection and most people stayed behind the purple rope. The guy wearing the Viking horns was FBI or similar. If Trump had really called for an insurrection there would have been some damage at least. Not to mention the horses. DC Police used to have horses and cops that knew how to ride 'em but they're only used for insurrections.

I was hoping someone would find that. Thanks. I think Smith & Mundt were pretty busy cause they had a tariff act too. Damn, ten years. It's that telescoping time effect.

The MSM didn't make a big deal out of it because Obama was in office.

As far as I know it's perfectly constitutional, but I'm hardly a constitutional scholar.

However, if you ask me this is going to be Yet Another Fucking Thing that blows up in the Dem's face. If Trump runs that's going to be problematic. Biden was able to beat him, and nobody liked Biden all that much in '00. Looking at the 50% or what ever the number of Republicans who want Trump to run doesn't take into account the people who will vote against the party in that instance.

Jan 6th discourages Trump to run again, makes Republican chances better.
