Before being shamed into asking his mob to go home peacefully (a response which notably didn’t happen until they started dissipating, I.e until it was clear they weren’t going to get Pence or Pelosi), his response was basically “this is what you get”.
My main memory from that time is that Bush was like "please go shopping" after 9/11. Seems more or less the American response to anything.
I don't align with the insurrectionists. I have never voted for trump. Swing and a miss. Most americans think 1/6 was a terrible thing. It was. It is also no where close in comparison to 9/11. But hey, you keep thinking it was something worse. It wasn't.
No there isn't a reputable link. People are making shit up. Sounds better for the 1/6 "worst thing ever" crowd. Super weird.
It was. In one case, the Towers fell. In the other, the government almost fell. If you aren't aware of how close we skirted that catastrophe, you need to do more research.
You know damn well that Trump "fingered" Mike Pence in his speech on Jan 6 before sending his thugs to the Capitol. From the transcript of Trump's Jan 6 speech . . . . . . . "And he looked at Mike Pence, and I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so. Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. He has the absolute right to do it. We're supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution, and protect our constitution. States want to revote. The states got defrauded. They were given false information. They voted on it. Now they want to recertify. They want it back. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people. And I actually, I just spoke to Mike. I said: "Mike, that doesn't take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage." And then we're stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot and we have to live with that for four more years. We're just not going to let that happen." ". . . . And Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn't, that will be a, a sad day for our country because you're sworn to uphold our Constitution." ". . . . So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. And I hope he doesn't listen to the RINOs and the stupid people that he's listening to."

LOL, skirted catastrophe? You guys are nuts. There was never a danger of our govt being overthrown. And way to diminish 9/11. Didn't think someone would go there, but you did. What a complete lack of understanding.
Thanks for confirming you have no interest in the truth. Pathetic. I provided you with Trump's own words during his speech just before his insurrection. He dishonestly told his thugs that Pence is the guy who can overturn the election. So it all depends upon him. That made him a target.
The original assertion was this "US citizens turning traitor and attempting to kill Pence and Pelosi under orders to do so from the POTUS is worse". Very different than what you state above which is mostly true. You, nor anyone else has any proof that POTUS ordered Pence and Pelosi to be killed. Lies from either side are bad and dangerous. If you want better, be better.
So, you literally need Trump on tape with the Oath keepers saying “go get ‘em boys”? I’m sure a defense attorney would obfuscate what Trump did do (inflame the crowd, point to Pence), with what he likely didn’t do (actually SAY kill). Perhaps it’s fair to say Trump didn’t want him killed, he just wanted him threatened and scurried away by secret service. What truly isn’t debatable, is that Trump inflamed the crowd and was the nexus for everything that went down not just on that day, but in the weeks (really years of insanity) leading up to it.
