The street protest in the picture may have been instigated by people who had no intention of destroying a police car.  Or maybe they did.  

Key differences:

1) Trump obviously wanted to change the vote in Congress or, failing that, prevent Congress from voting. The delay, which you admit was wrong of him, reveals his motives. 

2) Which government function is more important, the safe operation of a police car, or the official counting of electoral votes?

Sorry, the guy on the roof with a hammer was probably just a peaceful protester.  What excuse do you have for the intent of the mob in this picture?




If Trump's actions were so obvious (in the mind of anyone without a full-blown case of TDS), why hasn't he been charged?  Where is the actual FACTUAL EVIDENCE? 
BTW, what about the Capitol Police who allowed individuals to simply walk in unimpeded?  In some areas, there is clear video evidence of this occurring.  Aren't they co-conspirators in the insurrection attempt?  I haven't noticed you calling for prosecution.

The "official counting of electoral votes" is THE problem, but that doesn't occur in January.

Sure, the guy with the hammer wants to damage the police car.  But was he the instigator of that riot?  I thought we were talking about instigating riots, not rioting.

The electoral votes are cast in December and counted on January 6.  

You're not able to remember basic dates or continue simple trains of thought, it seems.
