6 January 2021: Another Day That Will Live in Infamy

 

The attack on Pearl Harbor irrevocably changed the US. It drove the US out of isolation and set the stage for the rise of US’s soft and hard power in the world.

 

Similarly, 6 January 2021 irrevocably changed the way the US sees itself. We thought of ourselves as a strong and almost indestructible democracy, but we were made to see how weak and vulnerable we really are. AAnd that weakness came from within, like a cancer eating away all that is good about the nation.

 

Never in the two and a half centuries of the US has a President ever tried to overthrow everything the country was meant to be. Never has the US seen that degree of treason. It might not be treason in the absolute legal sense, but it is absolutely treason against US ideals and rule of law. Trump is a traitor to US ideals.

 

Consider the facts…..Trump called his cult to DC for the 6th, for no good reason whatsoever. His Tweet calling them said “It’ll be WILD!”. There should be nothing whatsoever WILD about a pro forma certification by the Vice President of the results of an election certified by all 50 States. There was never anything WILD about any of the previous 44 election certifications plus second terms.

 

Trump lost. He is a weak, insecure and selfish person, as well as a crybaby. He literally intended to use his cult to get what he personally wanted, and he had no problem if his desires resulted in violence and death. Trump tries to use people as pawns, and his cult is tailor made for it.

 

In a new book, author Jonathan Karl gained access to personal notes taken by then-VP Mike Pence, who was called by Trump and ordered to not certify the election Trump clearly lost. Trump told Pence that Pence would be considered a “wimp” if he refused to break the law and honor his Constitutional duty as VP.

 

In a move showing true courage and commitment to the oath he took, Pence refused to break the law nor follow Trump’s demand. Pence is a patriot. Trump is the wimp, as well as a traitor.

 

After the call, Trump held his infamous rally on the Mall, his mindless cult ready to do his bidding that Pence has just refused. Trump, following lessons taught to him by disgraced lawyer and AIDS victim Roy Cohn, delivered a hate-filled and violent speech with a single “out”, though that out was not what was actually intended. Trump rallied his mob by using the word “fight” 37 times in that rant, and “peacefully” but once. Obviously, the mob heard the prevalent word and acted accordingly. Trump told them to “march to the Capitol and fight”. They did.

 

Unless Trump is even more of an idiot than he generally appears, he knew full well his mob would be violent. They were not going to the Capitol to visit the gift shop and buy key chains and coffee mugs; they were going to engage in violence and do the bidding of the cult leader. They were going to try to stop the peaceful transition of power, which had characterized every Presidential change since the US’ founding. They were going to try to do exactly what Trump hoped they would do and intended for them to do. There was no other reason to call them to DC, nor tell them to march to the Capitol.

 

Initially the Capitol police tried to stop the mob from breaking into the Capitol. The mob turned violent and began striking law enforcement, beating them, crashing through security barriers, even bear spraying Capitol police. 140 law enforcement officers were injured, some seriously.

 

Once past the initial phalanx of police, the mob began smashing windows and using battering rams on lock doors, trying to gain entry into the building to not only halt the election certification, but also to hunt down elected officials the mob perceived as enemies of their cult leader Trump. Some members of the mob defecated on the floor of the Capitol and wiped their feces on the walls of that institution. Others broke into the officers of elected officials and began looting and ransacking.

 

Some police were overrun and stopped trying to halt the onslaught. Others continued to stand against the terrorists and were beaten severely. When the mob tried to break into the House chamber, one security official drew his gun and fired into the mob, killing one of the terrorists. The mob pressed on.

 

Outside on the Capitol grounds, the mob erected a gallows on which they intended to hang the Vice President, and perhaps other officials. Many were following Trump’s ongoing Tweets, and when Trump tweeted criticism of Pence for the latter doing his duty, the mob began a chant:

 

“Hang Mike Pence”.

 

All of this played out on worldwide television. Trump himself watched it in a room just off the Oval Office. Several officials in his Administration asked Trump to do something to stop it, such as call off his mob or send the National Guard, as Trump had sole authority to do. Trump refused and sat watching for 187 minutes, or 3 hours plus, doing nothing except hoping the mob would win.

 

Secret Service whisked away the VP, getting him away from the mob and the gallows meant to hang him. Other elected officials escaped to secure facilities, while some hid wherever they could find refuge, sheltering in place.

 

Eventually the police regained control and the terrorists began leaving the building. Only at that point did Trump, seeing his mob failed to deliver, tell them to go home, while also telling the very people who disgraced the Capitol and were hellbent on killing the VP, “We love you all very much”. Trump loves fascist terrorists.

 

Elected members of the cult tried to justify or rationalize or downplay the assault. Some called the terrorists “just typical tourists”. Others suggested the mob was a false flag. Subsequently a meme has emerged that the mob was infiltrated by FBI agents and it was the bureau people who instigated the violence. Some MAGAs are so ignorant that they claim it was “Biden’s FBI” that did it, seemingly forgetting that the “6th” is two weeks before the “20th”, the date Biden took the oath and entered office. All of those excuses are pure MAGA nonsense, accepted by no one with any sort of intellect. Of course, most are offered by the cult as excuses.

 

That day was a black mark against the nation, all who have ever served it, and most certainly against the prime instigator, then-President Trump. It was carried out by, at best, the ignorant and easily fooled of the cult, and at worst, by traitors. Those traitors include Donald J. Trump.

 

As bad as that day was, the disgrace was compounded when Trump not only pardoned the terrorists who injured 140 police and intended to hang the Vice President, he even suggested they be compensated for time spent in jail. Also, all of those FBI agents who investigated the terrorist attack and all of the DoJ officials who prosecuted the terrorists, were fired from their positions at FBI and DoJ.

You mean like this guy who got thrown in prison after taking a personal tour, guided by Capitol police?

 

Nobody's denying that some of the protesters needed to go to prison.  But when they sentenced people who didn't even set foot in the building, they shouldn't be surprised if too many of them get pardoned.

Those morons can't delay the inevitable forever. When Congresswoman-Elect Adelita Grijalva is sworn in, the Epstein files will be released. This will expose so many high-level criminals, and we know in our heart of hearts that all the morons in your presented image are guilty at various levels of criminality.

They won't be released though.

 

The Senate will vote the petition down.

 

Ultimately, all the petition will achieve is a record of the Republicans voting to protect pedophiles.

Such strong counter-arguments. Well done, I'm convinced now that what we saw happen actually didn't happen!👏

An insurrection or the worst burglary since Watergate? 🤔

 

They basically smashed a few windows to get in, took some souvenirs and crapped in one of the rooms.

 

The standard for insurrection must be pretty low in America. I thought they did everything bigger and better over there. They didn't even have guns, in a country where even the little kids have guns, just armed with flags and silly hats.

 

Grow up America

Misleading. Multiple defendants have been criminally charged for being in possession of weapons, including firearms, during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
 
 

Firearms

So far, with the investigation still ongoing, three individuals have been charged for allegedly bringing a gun onto Capitol grounds on January 6. At least two other individuals have also been charged with gun crimes in relation to the events of that day, though they are not accused of carrying on Capitol grounds.

According to police testimony, Christopher Alberts was arrested leaving the Capitol grounds on January 6 while trying to flee from officers after they suspected he was carrying a firearm on his hip. Alberts was carrying a loaded pistol and 25 rounds of ammunition, according to court documents.

Guy Reffitt has been charged with illegally bringing a handgun on Capitol grounds on January 6. Reffitt allegedly told family members he “brought his gun with him” in the Capitol attack.

More MAGA lies

 

Are you entirely sure about that? How exactly were they going to shoot Joe Biden from the park outside? 🤔

Originally a wooded wilderness, the U.S. Capitol Grounds now provide a park-like setting for the nation's Capitol Building, offering a picturesque counterpoint to the building's formal architecture.

Joe Biden??

 

Yes, remember him? He probably doesn't. Obviously, as the newly sworn in president, he would be the prime target in an insurrection. Disagree?

The insurrection happened on January 6th. Trump was still president.

President Joe Biden was sworn in on January 20th.

Disagree?

I stand corrected on that point sir 🤧

 

However, my main point that the people who entered the Capitol Building were not armed with guns still stands

You are arguing with people who don't even remember what they had for dinner last night. Let it go

Makes it even less of an insurrection if the new president wasn't even there. So a bunch of people broke into (the usually public) area of a building to stop some bean counters moving pieces of paper around 🤔
