1. I am curious

will this all come out with that Jan 6 commission? IT BETTER.

[MiHale]

2. Thinking it'll be more like...

decorations on a whitewashed fence.

[Skittles]

10. yeah

I don't have much hope....Bush INC was never held accountable for lying their way into a war, and of course Trump colluded with Russia, launders their money, etc. In the meantime, outstanding Dems like Franken resign over bullshit. Very disheartening.

[11 Bravo]

12. FUCK! There goes my blood pressure again!

Every time I'm reminded of Al getting chased from the Senate, I get seriously pissed.

[Skittles]

13. I am with you on that

absolutely

[stopdiggin]

3. the 6th was an embarrassing, incoherant, sad and

inept .... Oh, wait - Trump.

(and most importantly - the military said "F No!"- )

4. Republican/Nazi's will remain unscathed by their oversized fascism. Hatred is DUMB.

[marble falls]

7. They're still arresting the little guys who flip on their masters. Instant justice is ...

... less filling and not very satisfying in the long run, as missed threads and culprits pop up later.

To put it into perspective: how long does it take to prosecute a murderer conspiracy in your town?

The FBI is still looking for 200 insurrectionists.

11. It's How They Brought Down The Chicago Outfit

The mob around here is little more than a street gang now.
Organized, with a great reach, they ain't!

[marble falls]

15. That's my thought, too. The 'Outfit' is mainly history.

[multigraincracker]

5. Reason and facts seem useless.

Need more humor and ridicule.

6. I still think every person young, old, whatever should serve a minimum of

At least 5 years in prison. They were hoping to overthrow the government, just because they were too stupid to have an end game means nothing.

If you walk in the store and flash a gun at the clerk to rob it, but stand there until the police come and tell you to go home, doesn't mean you weren't there to rob it.

These people even said they wanted to do what they did. I'm sick of this normalizing of treason. These people need time in the clink to be deprogrammed.

8. Thinking is hard.

My 2 cents from Jan. 6, 2021:

Barbarians at the Gate of Democracy

A mob of domestic terrorists were directed by the President of the United States to Congress in order to stop the counting of the vote by the People. In effect, the executive branch attacked the legislative branch. Donald J Trump is a traitor.



Trump Told Crowd ‘You Will Never Take Back Our Country With Weakness’

As Congress prepared to certify the victory of his successor, President Trump railed against the election and helped set in motion hours of violence.

Maggie Haberman
The New York Times, Jan. 6, 2021

Excerpt...

“We want to be so respectful of everybody,” Mr. Trump said, before calling his political opponents bad people. “And we are going to have to fight much harder. And Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn’t, that will be a sad day for our country. Because you’re sworn to uphold our Constitution.”

Calling the outcome of the election “this egregious assault on our democracy,” he said his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol. And we are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we are probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you will never take back our country with weakness.”

Mr. Trump did not in fact travel with the supporters he urged to go fight for him; he returned to the White House, and berated aides about how the scene had appeared, before taking to Twitter to attack Mr. Pence for his stand.

Before Mr. Trump took the stage, his personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, addressed the crowd and called for “trial by combat” against the Democrats to win the election.
