Potentially seditious conspiracy.

Interestingly, a search of the entire chapter shows that the term "domestic terrorism" is only used in the definitions section. So they define it but ...

You're more qualified to answer that question than me. :wink:
January 07, 2021 at 10:24
That was just a definition, not a crime. Within the chapter on terrorism the actual crimes are distinct, e.g. homicide and use of weapons of mass dest...

Yes. From that same statute: It certainly satisfies condition (B), given that Pence was there, and I assume also satisfies condition (C).

This reads as if it wasn't the police who were responsible.

It's an unfortunate reality that voters don't have a very good memory. Except when it comes to the Liberal Democrats and tuition fees.

The fact that a simple vote just on increasing COVID relief isn't an option is all the evidence you need that he/Republicans/Trump are in the wrong.

All you're saying is that humans tend to have two legs, which I don't dispute. But it is a fact that there are humans who don't have two legs. So if t...
December 11, 2020 at 21:52
Humans aren't defined as having two legs, and so that's a false analogy. You claimed to define one's sex as being one's genotype, and so "male" means ...
