I hope a few things haven't gone down the memory hole

What's going on with Boebert and others thought to have connections with the insurrectionists?

Did they ever find out who "bull horn lady" was?

What about the tweets giving the locations of Nancy Pelosi etc.?

I haven't heard much about these things lately.

How does this kind of thing even get approval?

A twice- impeached outgoing president, who only two weeks ago provoked a deadly riot in our nation's capitol, gets special treatment in the form of a ceremony for himself. Why wasn't this a resounding "no" from Secret Service, the Military, the handlers, and all involved? Who is in charge of making this kind of thing happen, and why are we even doing it?

Another rioter identified

What a cast of characters...

Let's see, we got the Q anon Buffalo Shaman, Zip- Tie Guy, The Podium Poacher, Bullhorn Lady, Confederate Guy, Fire Extinguisher Guy, and the Idiot In Peolosi's Office. What other standouts have I missed from last week's idiot parade?

It's great to hear many of them are getting arrested, and it's fun to know who they are instantly by their titles.

There's never a "last straw" with this guy


I thought this whole attack at the Capitol last week was going to make many in the Trump base pause and see Trump for what he really is. Sadly, I don't think that's happening at the level it should be.

Instead, his base is working overtime to perpetuate the lie that the election was stolen, and to excuse him for inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol. It is mind boggling how far out of the way they go to keep supporting him.

Whatever you think of Trump, he has some kind of weird power over his followers that keeps them from seeing what's really going on.

It truly is a cult.


Why don't the good leaders get this kind of support? Could you imagine if Trump had used his power for actual good instead of evil?

As usual their latest explanation doesn't pass the logic test

Rush Limbaugh is telling his listeners that Trump couldn't have incited the mob because the rioters first to enter the Capitol building left the Trump rally early to go start breaking in.

This is ridiculous because Trump's whole speech was inciteful and didn't rely on his last sentence to be what the mob responded to. Encouraging his listeners to form the assumption that this mob was waiting till Trump's last sentence shows how stupid Rush thinks his audience is. Those seditionists came to that rally prepared. Trump started inciting that riot well before January 6 through his tweets.

Nice try Limbaugh. You are part of the problem.

I'm posting this because I feel it is important to know what Trump's supporters are saying, so as to prepare those of you with Trump loving uncles who listen to this kind of skewed logic. It's always good to know in advance what they are thinking.

They are still promoting the lie that the election was stolen

I've been monitoring right-wing radio these days, and they just won't stop inciting these people. It is sick! Callers are allowed to make ridiculous claims without being challenged. They blame everyone but Trump.


The latest thing is they have taken one sentence out of Trump's whole speech before the riot where he says the word "peaceful". They keep playing it as if it was his message that day.

Right wing logic scares me

Just had a rightie tell me that the DC police were told by the "deep state" to allow the Trump supporting mob into the Capitol building to make them (the Trump supporters) look bad.


Where do you even start to talk sense with someone that tells you that?

Trump's riot isn't the only impeachable offense that should be brought up today

He also recently tried to pressure the Georgia Secretary of State to commit voter fraud for him.
