My bad. In my defense, I went to the Outlaw school of counting where he instructed us there were only "a few" trumpbots who were violent on Jan 6th.

For every 'Trumpbot' rallying in DC on Jan 6, there were thousands who stayed home. 

What percentage of "Trumpbots" do you think were violent on Jan. 6 - was it greater than the percentage of Democrats who were rioting and tearing up the big cities in the summer of 2020?

So basically this was democrats rubbing one out on primetime television in an attempt to stave of getting brutalized in 2024. 

Got it.

Good luck with that. 🤣

Key moments at Jan. 6 committee hearing

Pardons: Cheney said multiple House Republicans sought pardons from Trump for their roles seeking to overturn election.

• She singled out Rep. Scott Perry (R-Penn.), who has refused to comply with the committee's subpoena to testify.

Depositions: Barr was shown detailingthree discussions he had with Trump after Nov. 3, 2020. "I told the president [his claims of fraud] was BS and I didn't want to be a part of it. ... That's one of the reasons that went into me deciding to leave when I did."

• Ivanka Trump: "I respected Attorney General Barr. I accepted what he was saying.”
• Kushner said he viewed former White House counsel Pat Cipollone's threats to resign over Trump's calls to overturn the election "to just be whining."
• Trump's then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley detailed a conversation with Trump's then-chief of staff Mark Meadows: "He said we have to kill the narrative that the Vice President is making all of the decisions, we need to establish the narrative that the president is still in charge.”
• Miller detailed how Trump was told "in pretty blunt terms" by his data experts that "he was going to lose."

Witnesses: U.S. Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards, who suffered a traumatic brain injury on Jan. 6, described being stampeded by the violent mob, having her head thrown into the steps of the Capitol, being knocked unconscious, pepper sprayed and tear gassed.

• "I was slipping in people's blood" Edwards recounted. "It was carnage. It was chaos. I can't even describe what I saw."
• British filmmaker Nick Quested, who was embedded with the far-right Proud Boys on Jan. 6, said he was "confused” that "a couple of hundred of Proud Boys were marching toward the Capitol" before Trump's Jan. 6 speech even began, since that what his team was there to cover.
• The committee implied that reveals the group went to scout the premises of the Capitol — showing premeditation of the attack.

What they're saying: 

• "Although certain former Trump officials have argued that they did not anticipate violence on January 6, the evidence suggests otherwise, as you will see ... the White House was receiving specific reports in the days leading up to January 6," Cheney said.
• Cheney also issued a warning to her fellow GOP members: "I say this to my Republican colleagues: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.

The big question: What type of legislative actions the committee ultimately pursues, and who the Biden Justice Department decides to prosecute.

Percentage of sitting Republican presidents in the last 2 years who radicalized domestic terrorists into a violent and bloody insurrection that resulted in the secret service moving his own VP to an undisclosed location: 100%

And instead of atoning for that tragic day, the man who stares at the sun instead chose to double down, and you mentally ill morons are cheering him on the whole way.

I think they'd prefer someone they can control.

Not a chance.  You'll get Trump and you'll love it.

On the contrary - most of us are looking at the economy and world affairs imploding today and are much more focused and concerned about that than the prior president.

  I love it when the people who bring up Hunter Biden every other breath pretend like they're laser-focussed on the big issues.

Appreciate the link. So much has happened since the insurrection attempt that it's just difficult to keep track of what all is now happening since the arrests

What solutions has your party put forward to bring down prices and better protect our national interests around the globe? All I've heard is parental rights for rapists, too many doors in schools, and we aren't doing enough to stop Hunter Biden. 

Imagine if we had televised hearings for people who attempted to storm the white house and firebombed secret service shacks. lmfao can you imagine?

So much more arson than on 1/6.

Oh is this the part where we pretend Trump's not the de facto Republican nominee for the 2024 election? Cool, it's my favorite.

Trump will be in his 80's by 2024.  I would not be surprised at all to see him be a kingmaker instead of the nominee.

Goddamn I can't figure out which one of you Trumplicans is stupidest. You keep one upping each other.

I think you're seriously too focused on Trump.  Right now, the gang in Washington running the country is dropping the ball big time.  We need somebody who can competently put the economy back on track and recover our lost standing as the world power.  Being a citizen of the world's sole superpower and issuer of the world's reserve currency has with it certain privileges that most of us take for granted.  It's not a status that most Americans would want to lose, but at the rate things are trending, we very well might.

"We can't worry about a former president fomenting a violent coup attempt that forced the session of Congress charged with counting the votes in an election he lost to evacuate the Capitol or face a violent mob that may well have killed them because of the economy" is surely the lesson our founding fathers hoped was communicated to future generations by their actions.

He does have the advantage of not being named Biden but I still think you're wrong.

So there are people on FB saying Trump called the National Guard but Pelosi refused.

First, Pelosi doesn't have the power to call them. That power is reserved to the Executive Branch. 

It was also revealed on day 1, that Trump was asked by multiple staff members to end this and he refused. He didn't call the Guard. The Guard denied it. Pence Ordered the Guard and Meadows had to tell him, say it was Trump who ordered it. 

Trump is a Chronic Liar. 

In other news, Trump responded to his own daughter. More lies.

 

Former President Donald Trump took a swipe at his own daughter after footage of her testimony to the House committee investigating the Capitol riot was aired during the committee’s first hearing this Thursday.

Trump made the comment in a post to his social media platform Truth Social in response to Ivanka Trump‘s comments after she was asked what she thought about former Attorney General Bill Barr’s assessment that claims about the 2020 election being stolen were "bullsh**.”

"It affected my perspective. I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he said,” Ms. Trump said in a video shown during the hearing.

Those words were apparently too much for Trump to ignore, prompting him to take to Truth Social with his own version of events.

"Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results,” Trump wrote. "She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).”

 

 

Thank Jesus for a fair and balanced network unafraid to tell the truth.

You can tell it is true, because ratings.

Quote

Throughout our history, the United States has fought against foreign enemies to preserve our democracy, electoral system, and country. When the United States Capitol was stormed and burned in 1814, foreign enemies were responsible. Afterward, in 1862, when American citizens had taken up arms against this country, Congress adopted a new oath to help make sure no person who had supported the rebellion could hold a position of public trust. Therefore, Congresspersons and United States federal government employees were required for the first time to swear an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath was put to test on January 6th, 2021. The police officers who held the line that day honored their oath. Many came out of that day bloodied and broken. They still bear those wounds, visible and invisible. They did their duty. They repelled the mob and ended the occupation of the Capitol. They defended the Constitution against domestic enemies so that Congress could return, uphold our own oath, and count your votes to ensure the transfer of power, just as we've done for hundreds of years.

 

But unlike in 1814, it was domestic enemies of the Constitution who stormed the Capitol and occupied the Capitol, who sought to thwart the will of the people, to stop the transfer of power. And so, they did so at the encouragement of the president of the United States, the president of the United States trying to stop the transfer of power, a precedent that had stood for 220 years, even as our democracy had faced its most difficult test.

Capitol Officer Dunn: Donald Trump did not help us

https://www.yahoo.com/news/capitol-officer-dunn-donald-trump-071540060.html

U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn says Thursday night's hearings into the January 6th, 2021 insurrection confirmed that his suspicions, that help didn't come for overwhelmed officers because former President Trump didn't do his job
