So, WAS THIS TRUMP'S FUKT?
My interpretation: Trump wanted a big rally, a noisy but PEACEFUL one, because he is planning another run for President in 2024. This was all about keeping his base together.
But it got out of hand, like sometimes happens after soccer matches when team fans go beyong cheering and waving flags. And the DC police, for whatever reason, were not prepared for a protest turning intrusive, so out of the 50,000 (some say) protesters, those on the nutbag end of the spectrum invaded the Capitol building.
What was the level of fighting? Were police injured during the fracas? Anything torched? Or did most people disperse and leave the building when the police showed up?
Not sure how it ended.
But Pelosi, bless her heart, is making a lot more out of it than it really was, calling it an "insurrection" (somehow, the "mostly peaceful" riots across over 150 cities in the USA and billions of dollars of damage didn't qualify) and blaming it all on Trump.
What a douche.
*****
So, yanno, charge those who broke the law with whatever Federal law they broke (bc this happened on Federal property ... Trespass? Stealing a doorknob?) and punish them at the same level as the BML/Antifa rioters for similar crimes.
What's the big deal? Seems simple to me.
Don't turn this into YET MORE politicking and try to start political purges, or use it as an excuse to censor social media, because if the Dems do they'll piss off even more people.
I think I'm a pretty good bellweather. Up until now, I was somewhere between being amused and annoyed at the Dems and the RNC and the liberaloid M$M/ corporate social media, but even I'm getting pissed off, and if I'm getting pissed off I'll bet a lot of other formerly non-partisan/ apolitical people are, too.
CC:
lol - okay granny, whatever you say.
BTW - trap! Be smart - don't fall for SIG's transparent attempt to enrage.
You think I'm trying to "enrage" people? Have I called anyone names? Threatened anyone? Defamed anyone? Disparaged anyone's opinion? (Besides Pelosi's, that is.)
I think I'm just giving you my common-sense interpretation of what happened in a rather bemused manner.
What's to argue about? Charge and punish people who participated in the riot at the same level that you would charge and punish people who participated in the BLM/Antifa riots. They're doing the same thing and committing the same crimes, all politically-motivated. If you think the people who invaded the Capitol Building are "terrorists" then so are the Antifa/BLM rioters.

Remember last year when President Trump signed an Executive Order stating that any protesters who deface a national monument/memorial would be sentenced a minimum of 10 years in prison (which he actually signed as a means to punish left-wing protesters of Confederate statues)?
Well, every single trumptard terrorist who stormed the U.S. Capitol should be tried and sentenced for exactly that!

Democrats Ready Impeachment Charge Against Trump for Inciting Capitol Mob
Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened decisive action against the president for his role in the insurrection against Congress if he refused to resign.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/politics/democrats-trump-impeach
ment.html
At the White House, Mr. Trump struck a defiant tone, insisting that he would remain a potent force in American politics as aides and allies abandoned him and his post-presidential prospects turned increasingly bleak. Behind closed doors, he made clear that he would not resign and expressed regret about releasing a video on Thursday committing to a peaceful transition of power and condemning the violence at the Capitol that he had egged on a day before.
He said on Twitter on Friday morning that he would not attend President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration, the first incumbent in 150 years to skip his successor’s swearing-in. Hours later, Twitter “permanently suspended” his beloved account, which had more than 88 million followers, “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

The trumptard terrorists are now planning terrorist attacks on all state capitols, too.
The correct response is to shoot them all.

MAGA internet turns on 'Coward' Trump
The president acknowledged his defeat and urged for political reconciliation. His online faithful didn’t take it well.
After years of fidelity, Donald Trump's most ardent online fans have finally turned on him.
All it took was for the president to acknowledge the reality of his loss a little over a day after they, the MAGA faithful, stormed the Capitol in a violent attempt to stop the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win.
“People were willing to die for this man and he just threw them all under the bus. That’s the only thing that’s shameful about the events of the past 36 hours,” Nick Fuentes, the host of the America First podcast and the unofficial leader of the white nationalist Groyper Army, angrily tweeted, shortly after Trump released a video Thursday night in which he conceded that Biden would be the next president and called for political reconciliation.
Cassandra Fairbanks, a prominent MAGA activist, tweeted: “[He] tells angry people to march to the capitol [and then] proceeds to throw his supporters under the bus.”

Jacob Wohl, the political dirty trickster known for failed plots to incriminate Trump critics, reposted her Tweet on his Parler page.
And when far-right stunt journalist and failed congressional candidate Laura Loomer posted Trump’s concession video on Parler — “It’s over,” Loomer bemoaned, “Life is about to become very hard for conservatives in America” — the people in her replies were aghast that she acknowledged Trump’s own words. “He DID NOT CONCEDE! ITS HIS NEW ADMINISTRATION that will be coming in,” one respondent wrote, a sentiment repeated ad nauseam down her feed.
The despondency among the MAGA faithful online represented perhaps the sharpest break the community has ever made with a president they’ve exalted. But it also prompted a familiar brand of skepticism that has marked the past four years: Was Trump merely trying to placate his establishment handlers? Or did he truly betray the MAGA movement, days after several of his followers died while following his instructions to storm the Capitol?
In the past, Trump had been able to keep his online devotees close by swinging back into their good graces, normally with a pot-stirring tweet or the announcement of a controversial right-wing policy. But just hours after the president released his concession video, many expressed shock that he may have closed the book on them forever.
QAnon conspiracy theorists, praying for years that Trump would flush Satan-worshipping pedophile elites out of Washington, tore apart any scrap of data from the video to prove that he was playing one final trick. They subjected the time stamps to numerology, thinking that there was a secret message encoded.
“In no way did Trump say he conceded. He said: transitioning to a new Admin. As in, he gonna clear this one out and bring a new one,” tweeted We The Inevitable, a conspiracy account, getting more than 3,000 retweets within the hour. The account’s followers agreed that this was surely a sign that he was getting rid of Vice President Mike Pence — now cast as a MAGA traitor after participating in the certification of Biden’s win — and that on Jan. 20, retired Gen. Michael Flynn, now a full-fledged QAnon patriot, would replace him in Trump’s second term.

Quote:Do you want to know how I know this is just an attempt to demoralize the MAGA crowd and peel supporters from Trump? It repeats the Big Lie that Trump instructed his followers to "storm" the capitol.

Also, Trump did NOT concede, if that means recognizing that Biden* won, fair and square.

Looting Is Not Akin to Overthrowing the Government
This is probably pointless, but I am already sick to death of right wingers pretending that liberals are hypocrites for denouncing Wednesday’s violence at the same time that some of them excused the violence during the BLM protests over the summer.
If you were one of those liberals who looked the other way at the summer violence, then shame on you. Ransackings and beatings are pretty obviously things that should be condemned, regardless of whether they come from cops, looters, or protesters.
But it was unplanned, unled, and commonplace. It bears no comparison to this week’s events. This week’s rioters were acting at the behest of the president of the United States, who wanted them to overturn the results of a legal election and keep him in power. And it was defended not by miscellaneous bloggers and activists, but by members of Congress who thought it was a great idea to back the president in his attempt to keep power via violence.
It is sophistry of the first order to pretend that these two things have the slightest bit in common. The former is unfortunate but has no long-term impact at all. The latter is a direct assault on the workings of democracy by the leader of that democracy. Anyone who can’t tell them apart is either a cretin, a demagogue, or an insurrectionary. Take your pick.

I never read Trumps' tweets, but since SECOND so helpfully posts them here, I'll respond to this one: USA demands the truth!
Is calling for the truth a call to violence?
Maybe if you're intent on violently suppressing it, it is.
I guess that makes - say, RF who really is a provocateur(online flamewar arsonist) - an innocent one! since he never calls for the truth ...

For two months we have been debating how much a coup attempt should matter when it’s a coup so dumb it has no chance of success. What we should have realized is that as we got closer to the actual end, our desperate president—a man who has faced no consequences for anything at any other time in his life and is uniquely psychologically underprepared for what is happening right now—would move from stupid lawyers to stupid thugs in order to get what he wants. Which is how a coup happened this week.
When Trump directed his mob to storm the Capitol on January 6, Aymann Ismail was there reporting on the rally. He went inside with the mob. As Ismail wrote:
The people I managed to speak to didn’t seem to understand the gravity of what they had done. Inside a building they had broken into, they described themselves as “peaceful” to me. I talked to a kid from Florida, who must have been no more than 17 or 18. He told me, “This is nothing compared to what antifa does.” I said, “Look, they’re breaking the glass.” He answered, “Yeah, but at least they’re not destroying the things.” I showed him pictures of things destroyed. It didn’t register. On the way up, there was a woman holding a sign saying, “If we were leftists, we would be rioting.”
These sentiments are echoed in interviews Trip Gabriel of the New York Times conducted with Trump supporters this week. The people he featured really do believe Trump won the election, and though they have the good sense to tell a New York Times reporter that they don’t condone violence (an inversion of the rioters who denyed that it’s violence while in the act of committing it), they think that the rioters had a point. That’s the inevitable conclusion of the theories that have been pumped into their veins—they are the victims, they are in the right, they are the ones that are oppressed, even when they are the ones subverting the will of the people.
