    If you want to read a deep dive into what inciting an insurrection and attack on a coordinate branch of government looks like and how rhetoric and propaganda were used by Trump to do it, I strongly suggest this thread. It is unwrapped at the link and long, but worth the read.

    Very good read, now couple it with all the new video coming out with timelines.

    It is odd, the line that stood out and set all this up “Radical Left Democrats “, I wonder how many times this was uttered on Fox, Rush, etc over the past years.

    It was all a lie. Clickbait and mind control while claiming they are the free thinkers. God, Guns and Babies! while quietly grifting everybody

    Happened on his watch. He was and has been indifferent to the suffering and irresponsible in governing during this crisis It will be a major component of his negative legacy, maybe only outdone by fomenting an insurrection.

    On a different note, the lectern thieving insurrectionist sure doesn't look happy now.

    Retired Lt. colonel said he was there because President Trump wanted him there. He brought zip ties just in case.

    Insurrectionist “Zip-Tie Guy” identified as retired Air Force lieutenant colonel

    I get this.

    Though it should be noted that I felt that I needed to vote for Biden since my other major was Trump, so I am not sure why that’s any different.

    No. It is overdue but par for the course. Only the DC government had one.

    “The officer even described coming face to face with police officers from across country in mob. He said some of them flashed badges, telling him to let them through, and trying to explain this was all part of a movement that was supposed to help.”

    Between thay and being called the N word a whole bunch, sounds like a lovely day just trying to do your job. Just proves what a lot of us already know about some members of law enforcement.

    I was trying to post on this and kept getting annoying error messages. Despite being retired, the Lt. Col is subject to the UCMJ and can be court martialed (affirmed by the SC two years ago). This means possibly having his military retirement and other benefits stripped from him. It would be a spectacular own goal for someone who spent 20 years defending the US. As bad was his tour de force in excusing every single thing, none of it though can explain away pictures of him inside the capitol and inside the senate chamber. I'm sure too he's not the only vet.

    Definitely a cross section of crazy from all walks of life. I would have thought CEO, bankers, elected officials, etc would be smarter, oh never mind they weren’t.
    Looking forward to more getting fired and to all those getting put before investigators, and of course claiming the 5th. Phone logs and paper trail oh my
