Will you take today to celebrate the patriotism, courage and bravery of the Jan 6 protesters? Will you think of Ashli Babbitt’s senseless murder?

SO YOU ADMIT IT WAS A COUP ATTEMPT. Nice!

No. It was not a coup attempt. It was a protest.. not nearly as effective a protest as those that demanded the canonization of George Floyd. I wish it were a coup attempt. I wish all 60,000 people there had dragged Fuckwad Biden out and hanged him by the ankles. If it was good enough for Ceaucescu it should be good enough for a Democrat. Now THAT'S a coup.

He did STOP IT with a tweet over 3 hours later.

How do you explain that?

It was already over three hours later.

And they show Meadows—who has been on a media tour to promote his new book, even as Congress moves to hold him in contempt—agreeing he needs to get Trump to do something (“I’m pushing it hard,” he messaged) about the harsh reality that the lie the administration spread about a stolen election had sparked a violent attempt to overthrow the government.

All of this was put forward by Republican Liz Cheney as part of her statement in front of the committee. You can read all the messages, and her comments, here.

Ingraham text 2 Meadows on 1/6 (per Cheney):
“[Trump] needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy."

-Suggests provocateurs

It makes something clear. For a moment, the reality pierced through to Fox News, Republicans, and Trump administration officials that they had been trying to wreck democracy—and would even have to live with those consequences.

Everyone was in Meadows’ messages. They were sort of atoning and trying to fix it. Because it got too real.

Kilmeade requested Trump “get… on tv” to stop the insurrection. In the almost year since, Kilmeade has been on TV himself. In fact, he was on Fox & Friends this morning, but he didn’t bother to mention the texts today.

The same goes for Sean Hannity, who on January 6 asked Meadows if Trump could “make a statement” and “ask people to leave the Capitol.” Since then, Hannity has made a practice of soft-pedaling the insurrection to such a degree that compatriot Geraldo Riveria has said he is “gaslighting” viewers about it.

Laura Ingraham—who texted Meadows that day to say that Trump “needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home”—spent a good deal of time making clear that what happened on January 6 was not good. It was wrong, she repeatedly said. But then, in her explanation, she made sure to mention antifa could be involved. She added that maybe the election was rigged.

And, in that vein, for the past year or so, Republicans, and Fox News, have downplayed the seriousness of what happened on January 6.

But let’s remember the energy.

America watched as people rushed the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow an election to keep in power an unelected official—or, in his parlance: a loser!

Since then, they’ve tried to rewrite January 6 in whataboutisms. Any mention of the horror has to be sprinkled with a mention that antifa could’ve been involved and that the security should have been better. It can be a full out denial (Tucker Carlson) or an attempt to mention a few caveats (Ingraham), but in each case acknowledging January 6 was evil requires distancing themselves from what happened.

Because to fully explain it—without lying—would require all of them to acknowledge they fueled an attempt to topple democracy.

Fox News hosts privately panicked on Jan. 6. Then they frantically rewrote history.

So they weren't hunting for Congress Critters while trying to bash through in the last remaining barricade to the Speaker's Lobby?

Hunting with what?

Pfft!! On 1/6/21 there was a peaceful guided tour of the US Capitol. No one died or was hurt or even threatened. DJt hired some crisis actors to act out a false flag performance at the behest of the Illuminati and their reptilian overloads. Again, no one died, there has never been anyone named "Ashli Babbit" and all crisis actors are now living in luxury in the Caribbean with the actors from 9/11 and Sandyhook.

Don't any of you libs Qanon?

Please, the illuminati created the reptilian overlord crisis, just to fuck with us.

"Big protest in D.C. on January 6th," he wrote, referring to the day Congress was set to formally certify Joe Biden's victory in the electoral college.

"Be there, will be wild!"

On Tuesday, the congressional select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol laid out their argument that Trump's tweet played a key role in fomenting that day's violence.

"President Trump's tweet drew tens of thousands of Americans to Washington to form the angry crowd that would be transformed on Jan. 6 into a violent mob,

How Trump's 'will be wild!' tweet drew rioters to the Capitol on Jan. 6

In the cases against the hundreds of Capitol riot defendants, attorneys repeatedly reference how Trump's tweet motivated rioters to come to Washington, D.C. — sometimes with weapons and armor in tow.

In video showed Wednesday at Trump’s second impeachment trial, rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence!” and “Bring out Pence!” as they roamed the halls searching for the former vice president and other lawmakers. Outside, the mob set up a makeshift gallows on the field near the Capitol.

If Trump 'stopped it' with a tweet it was over in three hours.
Sadly, not everyone got the message.

Biden wasn't in the Capitol on Jan 6

 

[Dante Reawakened]

Hunting with what?

Hmm...

a review of the federal charges against the alleged rioters shows that they did come armed, and with a variety of weapons: stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs. An additional suspect also allegedly planted pipe bombs by the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties the night before the riot and remains at large.


Those weapons brought violence and chaos to the Capitol. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died one day after two rioters allegedly sprayed him and other officers with what prosecutors describe as an "unknown chemical substance." Four other people in the crowd died in the insurrection, and more than 100 police officers suffered injuries, including cracked ribs, gouged eyes and shattered spinal disks.


Some supporters of former President Donald Trump have argued that the dangerousness of the Capitol rioters has been overblown. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., has said, for example, "This didn't seem like an armed insurrection to me."

 

[Dante Reawakened]

Hunting with what?

Armed:

As the first House hearing dedicated to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol aired, Fox News host Tucker Carlson repeated the debunked claim that no one in the crowd was found with a gun.

"Just to be clear on terms, an insurrection is when people with guns try to overthrow the government," Carlson said during his June 10 segment. "Not a single person in the crowd on January 6 was found to be carrying a firearm. Not one," he said.

That’s wrong. Court documents, video evidence and news coverage directly contradict this characterization. Several rioters had firearms and dozens more wielded knives, bats and other real and makeshift weapons.

We reached out to Carlson for comment but did not hear back.

PolitiFact: Tucker Carlson is wrong. Firearms, other weapons at Capitol on Jan. 6

So, what were they "hunting" with?

 

[Woodznutz]

Can we get to the bottom line? If the government had been doing its job none of this would have happened. Trump only ran in the first place because Washington was so screwed up. That he won surprised even him. That so many voted for him reveals the deep dissatisfaction and distrust of government there is out here.
