Never forget TFG fired Sec. of Defense Mark Esper on 11/8/20 and replaced him with Christopher ...

... Miller who gave a stand down orders to the D.C. National Guard on 1/4/21. Before those orders were given
the D.C. National Guard had the authority to operate so as to respond to threats and protect the Citizens
of D.C., Government Buildings, and Federal Government operations. I believe they were to protect the D.C. local
government too.


WASHINGTON — President Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper on Monday, upending the military’s leadership at a time when Mr. Trump’s refusal to concede the election has created a rocky and potentially precarious transition.

Mr. Trump announced the decision on Twitter, writing in an abrupt post that Mr. Esper had been “terminated.”

Now I agree with Gen. Milley, Speaker Pelosi, and CIA Director Gina Haspel that Trump was and still is bat shit crazy but he damn well knew what he was doing in trying to overthrow the United States Government by sending a mob of his violent goons to storm the U.S. Capitol to stop the certification of Joe Biden as President. It was a coup. End of story. And some members of Congress, Fox News, right wing militia groups, active and retired members of the military, police and firefighters, and shits like Roger Stone, Eric Prince, and others were in on this treason from day one. And this operation had been in the works from the time Trump lost the election.


Lock 'em up. It has been 9 months.

1. Never forget the Republican traitors who betrayed America

2. He signs like a fourth grader.

[Boomerproud]

4. Huge stupid sig just like his master.

Still walking around making $$$$.

[paleotn]

12. Seems they all have weird signatures....

Steve Mnuchin changed his to the weird print we see on our currency from the period. Maybe he didn't want to feel left out by having a normal signature.

[marble falls]

15. Mnuchin. Ms Mnuchin. What tools. But you're right. Odd signatures, every single one of them.

[MontanaMama]

3. Kick.

Way past time.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Anyone in authority who went along is guilty of treason.

They swore allegiance to the Constitution, not Putin’s puppet.

Treason cannot be forgiven. Lock ‘em up: all who were involved in the conspiracy.

6. Liz Cheney Snapped at Jim Jordan During Jan. 6 Riot for Promoting Election Lie: You Fucking Did This

Liz Cheney Snapped at Jim Jordan During Jan. 6 Riot for Promoting Election Lie: 'You Fucking Did This'

And i will never forget the morning blond on Fox and Friends on 1/5/21 said, "Well a lot of people still
have questions about the elections. BTW Fox News is on ch 55 and CNN is on ch 51 and MSNBC is on
ch 53 and the weather ch is 62 so when I surf up or down I see a few seconds of Fox and it is a cancer.
This AM it was Joe Biden's inflation and that he is responsible for Haitian refugees on the Texas/Mexico
border.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Fox is a Lie Factory

An assembly line that runs 24/7/366 producing Big Lies, especially.

Once the lie gets in a viewer’s head, it takes a hundred times its weight in truth to be driven out of a healthy head.

Fox’s regular viewers may be beyond help. They are brain damaged.

[Botany]

8. Roger Ailes started Fox with Rupert Murdoch's help for the purpose of lying to help republicans ...

... because he thought Richard Nixon got screwed by Dan Rather, CBS, The Washington Post, and so
on and he was driven from power unfairly because he didn't have a media outlet that put out "his side
of the story." You see it wasn't the tapes, the testimony, all the evidence, and our Constitutionally
protected series of checks and balances that made Nixon quit it was that damn Dan Rather.

And it has gotten worse over the years since Reagan got rid of the fairness doctrine just look @ the
meth head high school drop outs who stormed the Capitol some of those dumb fucks really believed
that Trump had the Presidency stolen from him. And or they were just violent racist red necks looking
for a fight.

[PatSeg]

9. Yes, a person can be crazy and still

know what they are doing. Trump will do anything to preserve his power and control.

[Justice matters.]

13. And the most important motive is very simple:

POTUS can't be prosecuted for crimes he knows he's guilty of "while in Office" (that's not in the Constitution but today's polarization makes it impossible).

The malignant orange terrorist sure knew that...

[PatSeg]

19. That's true

He may be dumb and crazy, but he is pretty smart and sane when it comes to self-preservation.

[bringthePaine]

10. this shit is the definition of criminally insane, and failure does not exonerate

[Mr. Ected]

11. Too many fascist agents in government, the judiciary and the media

To ever exact justice from this band of criminals.

It doesn't take a majority to thwart democracy. Just a few well-positioned traitors. Trump spent 4 years positioning his chessmen.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. The puppeteer was also the puppet.

"4 years positioning his chessmen." Correct. The jumble of moves, helter skelter apparently to the uninformed, were to cover the key moves of gatekeepers in the final act.

I still ascribe to the theory floated online that TFG is too dumb to know exactly what he was doing other than stay in power. The puppeteer was also the puppet.

This smells of a concerted foreign effort to divvy up the country, with collusionists on board to orchestrate the moves. IMHO anyway.

[Botany]

17. Russia has been using right wing media and network platforms for years to sew disinformation

.... and social and cultural division in America. I have no doubt that those 3%/proud boys/oath keepers/
MAGA idiots and so on had their meth heads filled with Russian produced crap such as "Trump had the election
stolen from him so you have to be a patriot and so you will have fight for your free-DUMBS."

[IronLionZion]

16. We all saw it happen in real time

he fired heads of several law enforcement and defense agencies after the election. It looked hella suspicious at the time. Even more so after they did nothing to help on Jan 6.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. We musn't dwell on the past. We need to focus on the future and try to heal our divisions.

[Botany]

22. But really what about Hillary and her email server?

n/t

[Grasswire2]

23. good to see that at the end

Because I was about to hammer you.

"Look forward, not back" is a weak and failed strategy that has allowed GOP to get away with hideous crimes for several decades now.

Bring the anvil of justice out. And the hammer. And let the people see, and know that no man is above the law.

[Crunchy Frog]

24. I considered leaving it off, but decided against it.

Part of me wanted to start a big shitstorm.
