When the news showed folks strolling in, and after 30 mins we didn't see armed military showing up to shock n awe the rioters into submission, i knew the country had turned. When trump was impeached but let go for it it reaffirmed it all. It was all a practice run. And now they're fast tracking a dictatorship with a complacent congress that should be impeaching his ass. He doesn't have covid forcing him to act presidential this time. It's pure dictatorship now.
That son of a bitch should be rotting in prison after pulling that stunt! What spineless cowards the republican party are! Knowing what right is right, and wrong is wrong! Godammit!
Which is hilarious, bc the folks were actively hunting for her. They stormed her office hoping to catch her there. It makes no sense why they think she would tell then not to come to save everyone. Also, she doesn't have that kind of authority i think. Trump was hoping his folks would sweep and kidnap. And they impeach his ass and let him go. When we didn't see armed troops rolling in and taking over the capitol from those folks we all knew democracy was over.
Why would he call the national guard to stop his coup? I'm willing to bet that some of the people who left his orbit after January 6th stopped him from calling in the national guard to execute congress (or at least Pence, Pelosi, and a few others).
Even if LA was an insurrection it would be a FAIR ONE. An insurrection to put a dictator on the throne when you fairly elected someone else is a BAD ONE. I hope the caps lock helps.
He went a step further and pardoned all those in jail for their violent attacks.
Now he is pushing to see how far he can tilt the law in a very narrow case and the republicans just sit there allowing him to walk all over their power. He can't keep doing everything calling it an emergency order.
Any funding they approve he is just going to put a hold on it. But his budget for golfing, a military parade on his birthday, to convert over a 747 for his personal use after he leaves office ($1b price tag on that), all that is getting paid for.
Just watch. Soon he'll be executing critics and bombing protests, and all that's gonna happen are sueings, strong condemnations, social media statements, maybe even an investigation. Trump can do whatever he wants and nobody will stop him. At least not legally.
That's an interesting way to describe storming the capitol. The politicians fled and hid, so yes, there was less engagement and hangings than the J6ers were chanting for.
Attaching a flag to a spear and beating police. Taking capital police over and over? Spraying them with bear spray? Ransacked offices while chanting democrat names. Having a whole bundle of flex cuffs ready to use?
Or you could just jump over to the group who planned to kidnap a democrat governor. Sure they just wanted her over for diner and a game night.
And his cult following also 100% believes it was Pelosi's fault for noy calling in the national guard. Comments like, "trump tried to call NG, but Pelosi blocked it!" Are flooding any attempt to show comparison.
Most Republicans are. We are at the phase where they believe Trump over their own eyes. They see a still of cop cars destroyed and waymos destroyed and that is more real then videos of what started everything.
The goal is distraction and division. Somewhere something else more important is happening. The rich getting away with getting more rich getting away with getting more rich, and so on...
The parade on the 14th, with 7000 troops (according to some articles) right next to Congress in DC is worrying to me. Will those troops be ordered to 'secure' the capital building? Will they arrest or separate people who are not absolute trump/republican loyalists?
After the parade it wouldn't surprise me if bunker bitch had tanks and armed military surrounding the white house at all times. He wants to make a statement that he lives in an ivory tower.
They don't need to do any of those things. Democrats have shown that they are more than willing to censure themselves and make any compromise they are asked to make because the DNC told Schumer to give them everything. Why would they arrest them? Why would they storm the Capitol? They already own it.
Democrat kids to to the same private schools. Their wives and husbands are part of the same social clubs. They're all friends and family in the oligarchy. They're not enemies.

Every time I see this mentioned lately *(mostly on youtube), some dumbasses say that it was Pelosi who stopped them from coming.

Trump bots are repeating the tired lie that Nancy Pelosi refused the support. She had no power over their deployment.

Didn't you hear? He didn't lose that election so they were just tourists doing the right thing! (/s obviously)

That's because they weren't there for him (to get him). But they were there for him (on his behalf).

And some of those insurrectionists are now members of ICE

He can, though. If no one stops him.

Republicans in Congress need to step down, Trump is doing their jobs for them. Time to cut excessive government spending, right?

Some (Proud Boys) are now suing for $100 million, claiming "political prosecution".

For tresspassing in the nation's capital?

And how being arrested ruined their lives. Some of them couldn't even show their faces in their meth trailer parks after that!

Still can't due to covering it for ICE raids.

Commenter tried to say that trump is trying to make the word meaningless, less potent in use, etc.. Ppl took it the wrong way.
