It's funny how the left just gulps Biden's announcements down with zero pushback whatsoever.

Has any president in American history so delighted in taunting his citizens? And has anyone noticed how Biden, in a single mangled quip, just destroyed two years of the Left’s painstaking work in constructing the Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative?
Biden’s quote from his “right-wing friends,” “the tree of liberty is water of the blood of patriots,” was, as Rick noted, a garbled version of Thomas Jefferson’s adage: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.” Biden was saying, of course, that in our age, such sacrifices were fruitless: the federal government is so powerful that it is unassailable, and so as its tyranny grows, unless patriots can somehow get hold of some fighter jets, they were out luck.

Of course we know that our country was not really threated by Jan 6 but it served the left to pretend it was...and keep that narrative going as long as possible. Nice of Joe to admit that a group of mostly unarmed citizens would not be really be a threat.

False analyis drawing a false conclusion.
Was the gunpowder plot (Remember, Remember the 5th of November...) an insurrection? Absolutely. Even though it failed.
An insurrection does not need to succeed - or even have a good chance of succeeding - to be an insurrection.
Now, that being said, Jan 6 was STILL not an insurrection. But not because of the reasons and logic provided here. Simply because there was no intent to actually overthrow the government.
