No shit. Trump:
Helped to pay for it.
Gave out over a dozen invitations to the violence in which he gave the day, the date, the time, and the place.
Had his chief of staff Nick Mulvaney's niece fill out the paper work for the permit for his pre-riot pep talk.
Told the crowd to go and storm the Capitol so as to protect America's freedoms.
Fired Sec. of Defense Mark Esper and installed Christopher Miller who gave stand down orders to the D.C.
National Guard on 1/4/21.
Refused to call of his supporters when asked to do so from Rep. McCarthy and V.P. Pence.
Watched the violence and chaos on T.V. and did nothing.
Knew of planning sessions for the violence in 2 different D.C. Hotels.
And at the end of the day let the violent thugs walk away and told them that he loved them and was
proud of them. President Trumps Chilling Message to Violent Mob Overtaking Capitol: "Go Home. We Love You, Youre
Very Special."

What Trump was looking for on 1/6/21 was to have so much violence up to and including the muder
of Speaker Pelosi & Vice President Pence so he could declare martial law and stop the Constitutionally
mandated transfer of power.

(23,286 posts)Votes w/ tRump & right-wing over 90% of the time. No. We don't want her.
She's only better-looking than her dad--but just as mean and rotten at the core.

They don't like what she is telling them.

(70,581 posts)Lots of the MAGA people are too far gone but I expect when exposed to the truth about 1/6/21 and
TFG & Russia he will see a real drop in his support. But then again I am holding out to see the mother
fucker in jail for his multiple crimes.

(36,133 posts)Cheney's is the only way her party is going to get control of their 6th grade cultosis symptoms, regain their moral compass, commit to truth and reality, and become the viable, credible participant in democratic governance they once were back in pre-Bush days. When 2022 brings in their retiree replacements, we'll see if they're more of the performative ilk or more like Cheney.

(16,789 posts)Someone that determined to stay in power would go through any lengths to achieve such a feat. Of course he KNEW EVERYTHING that was going on on his behalf.
Justice matters.

(27,830 posts)Of all the unseemly things about that day - and there were many - that GameDay-style tailgate party they had going on was near the top. I know people who tailgate. It takes lots of planning. Invitations go out. Lists of who can get in are created. They set up TVs in the tents. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

(9,670 posts)You gotta wonder why the MEDIA doesn't put it that way.
Does anyone doubt that if this had been Barack Obama or Joe Biden whether the media would report it THAT way?

(43,281 posts)but was orchestrated by a leader and a cadre, as insurrections always are. As violent as it was, and the chaos it created, even with the stand down orders, these could not finish the job. The shock troops were incompetent or insufficient. He thought politics and loyalty to him would carry the day. System and tradition and loyalty to the Constitution had other ideas.
