Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, told The Dispatch that "the speaker of the House does not have the power to block an order from the commander in chief. This is fiction."
Still, Lumpy went there.
"There are a lot of people that think they wanted it," Trump claimed without providing even an iota of evidence to support the claim.
"If you had soldiers circling and I recommended it strongly, but it's her decision," he falsely said. "She's the one that has to make the decision. And nobody likes talking about that."
"I knew that a lot of people were coming down. They were coming down because they thought the election was rigged. And they were right," said Trump, who fed that lie to his supporters. "That's why they were coming down. And that's why they don't want to talk about that, and they don't want to talk about the rigged election."
Have you ever wanted to slap someone so hard that their eyes spin around like dice in their head as if you were in a cartoon? Yeah, that's me right now.

This article talks about the wall-to-wall counseling manual:

(Full disclosure: I wrote the Wall-to-Wall Counseling manual. I am glad to see that it has provided so much joy to so many people over the years.)

(11,631 posts)...is Trump speak for "I'm going to make up some completely ridiculous shit and no-one will challenge it because it will be but a small turd in the mountains of bullshit I spew perpetually."

(32,634 posts)When Chump says "A lot of people think ..." it really means "This is what I think and nobody can say I'm wrong ...."

(19,044 posts)LOL, I still can't get over this, that the GOP claimed Nancy Pelosi had control of our military and it was her fault they weren't sent in. And their rubes believed it.
PatSeg
(47,405 posts)That might be because that is total nonsense and Trump is the only one who is saying it.

(5,153 posts)Speacher Polosi handled that day with dignity and courage, with the weight of a treasonist president and aiding GOP Congress, and cabinet members.
Every POS that aided that insurrection, should be in prison forever.
Their words and participation is indefensible.
Irish_Dem
(46,924 posts)Time will tell if that will happen.
Pelosi was the very model of leadership that day.
She deserves a medal.
Bluethroughu
(5,153 posts)She does deserve a metal, and she will be always seen as a protector of Democracy in the world.
The consequences of these fascists achieving power here, will be detrimental to the planet. I don't like to even think about it.

Clueless.

(8,911 posts)Of course people wanted the 1/6 insurrection, Pendejo45 requested it and pushed it.
But I'm willing to bet that there are more people that didn't want the 1/6 insurrection, and if push comes to shove we would have showed up in the millions to suppress the insurrection.
