Just a "riot?" No planning or coordination?

Anyone STILL saying it was a riot and not planned is as armed and fascist as a 1942 Nazi soldier.

More dangerous too.

More dangerous because Nazis never had any power here. Depraved confederates and other WSs like Glennfs did and still do, and they want it back.

Sadly, there's very few Profiles in Courage in the GOP these days.

It's disappointing. They were calling for Republican blood that day, too. Some were screaming they wanted to hang Mike Pence. Others said they wanted the head of Mitch McConnell. Apparently for not being willing to challenge the results.

But, as Democrats today largely spoke out about what happened that day (and their stories continue to be chilling, like the ones that had to hide in all kinds of crazy hiding places as people screamed for their blood) ... GOP ... who at least in the few days after, were also willing to speak out about how they were impacted by these events, too ... were largely absent at the commemorations.

It is CLEAR as fucking can be the GOP is going to attack this country in November and after that.

The first OBVIOUS thing they are going to do is refuse to certify any election they lose. I wish people would TALK about this on TV and in government and let us know that at least they understand what is coming!

I heard Karl Rove put out a piece today condemning Jan 6th. Is that true? I haven't looked. I guess I can go fishing.

Dick Cheney visits Capitol for Jan. 6, criticizes GOP leadership

... Not become his fan, anymore than I have his daughter, or Mitt Romney. BUT. I can respect their stance, and here I do.

To me, Liz Cheney is the ONLY Republican that has exhibited undeniable and complete moral courage about January 6th. No, I'm not a fan of her politics, but she has been the ONLY Republican that has put the Constitution and our elections first.

And Glenn has attacked her for it.

Of course board con has attacked her. She is getting in the way of white supremacy on steroids.

It is now time for W to call for a presser and he needs to call trump and his associates out as the criminals they are. He might be able to save America, all by himself.

I agree! Where is GW Bush?

But then, he was never known for having any courage, was he?

His wife Laura has a twitter acct so I tweeted to her, nicely asking her to ask him to do this.

Then I tweeted his library. Sure, most GOP are unreachable traitors including those we know personally, but some can be reasoned with maybe, he has to try.

Not about votes, it is about changing the attitude so it is SAFER for others to oppose the murderous traitor and SAFER for the media to tell the truth.

Bringing firearms and I.E.D.'s to the Capitol is not the act of rioters.

Bari Weiss is a white-victimhood fascist.

[Drak]

Not just firearms. They had ladders, battering rams, military equipment and knew exactly where to breach and enter.

[ProfX]

She wrote a (IMHO fairly decent) book on anti-Semitism.

But now she's basically defending the kind of people who shot up the Tree of Life Synagogue.

You do know one of the Capitol rioters was wearing this - right, Bari?



Chuck Schumer said today he heard some of them screaming "Get the Jew!"

C'mon Bari. Stop voting for Thanksgiving. These people are not your friends.

[ZoWie]

The foot soldiers came with full awareness of their mission, and with well researched plans on how to carry it out.

Nothing regarding ultimate culpability is written in stone until when and if the House committee gives its report on what it knows about the war rooms and the chatter leading up to the coup. Right now the best bet is that the coup came straight from the top, or the from the next echelon down with tacit approval from the top.

Flynn is an underestimated player in all this. Recent evidence has leaked out which builds a strong case that he is a traitor, who is either totally compromised by Russian intelligence, or who just seeks power. Either way, he believes some stuff that can best be described as totally bonkers.

Definitely an RU asset. One that seeks power. I think Roger Stone is now suggesting he run for president.

Like Walter White, Candace Owens, Enrique Tarrio, Andy Ngo, and Christian Walker, she is a paid-off propagandist for white nationalism.

I have to stay off social media, too dangerous. Rank and file republicans are now fully on board with a violent and murderous takeover of the government and I have a big mouth.

[carmenjonze]

We've been telling people about these seditious conservative whites and their feckless "moderate" court jester collaborators since the Silent Majority era, since the Reagan-Bush era, since the DLC era, since the teaparty era, since the current Trump era.

So, I'm not clear on why anyone is suprised by their behavior.

Dick Cheney, war criminal, endorsed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. Liz Cheney voted for him in 2020.

F. them.

Dick Cheney to appear at Trump 2020 fundraiser as Republican establishment bows to president - Independent

F. both of these grandstanding white cons. They are directly responsible for this.

True, and if W did hold a presser and called out trmp and maga it could make a difference as to how the media and other cons talk about it, but he wont.
