This whole damn article is enraging and gives much more detail about Trump's behavior than the quotes posted from it.

Here's one- Alarmed that the vice-president was in danger of potential harm, Trump's advisors pleaded with the president to post something that would calm his supporters and quell the violence. 

Trump refused. Giving up, the advisors leave the room and soon discover Trump is doing the exact opposite and throwing gas on the fire.

Quote

After unsuccessfully trying for up to 20 minutes to persuade Trump to release some sort of calming statement, Scavino and others walked out of the dining room, leaving Trump alone, sources said. That's when, according to sources, Trump posted a message on his Twitter account saying that Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done."

Trump's aides told investigators they were shocked by the post.

And will ring them again -- longer and louder -- when he fucking dies.

I know that I will.  Seriously, I actually worry on occasion when I'm tied up in something that I can't get away from (like a trial, or all-day deposition), "what if Trump dies right now?  That would suck, because I can't go outside and celebrate immediately."  I'm dead serious, the instant Trump dies, if I am at all available and able to, I will be in the streets dancing, honking my car horn, setting off fireworks, handing out glass of champagne, you fucking name it.  That day will be one of the most important turning points in American history, and I will give it all due celebration.  

If it happens when I am in another country, it will be weird.  While I would surely celebrate with them, and enjoy drinking too much and singing songs with total strangers, I really want to celebrate that win here, at home with my fellow Americans. It will be OUR win, and that matters to me.

And yes, Trumpkins, he's THAT FUCKING HORRIBLE.  There have been other historical figures whose death made me happy (Osama is a good example), but none more important than when Trump dies.

['stache 21815]

Okay, as much as I would have loved to see it personally, I agree that mowing down the crowd outside would not have been a good idea. But I do wish more people in that hallway with Babbitt received some lead to the chest. That is an absolute perfect example of justifiable use of force by law enforcement. They were shouting actual threats and absolutely intended to enter that room and harm elected officials. It's truly a shame only one of them died that day.

Were these people expecting to live through it? Meaning, if I were planning to storm the capitol, to try to "get" the people inside, I would consider it a one-way trip. Live through it and you're thanking the police/secret service/etc.

But obviously we live in the upside-down world now so the reaction was more "can you believe they tried to stop us??".

See the video of the chick who was astounded that she got maced.  She literally said it was a revolution, and it boggled her mind that there was any resisting force.

They expected the following things:

1) that the Capitol police and law enforcement would be on their side;

2) that they would capture/grab Pence, Pelosi, and/or others to stop the certification process, meaning that Biden would not be formally elected president;

3) something something throw it back to the states where Trump would win.

4) those results = a successful popular revolution.

Item 4 is why they were all happily recording themselves.  They thought that they were making a historical record of their individual participation in the Glorious Trumpkin People's Revolution, that they could show their children and grandchildren, that they could show to officials in the new Trump Regime for Life to curry favor/get benefits, that they could use to stoke their own pathetic egos.  They did NOT think that the revolution would FAIL, and that those recordings would instead become evidence in a criminal prosecution.

The #1 basis to conclude that what the Trumpkin Terrorists were doing was an attempted revolution to overthrow the government was the fact THAT THEY RECORDED THE WHOLE THING.  You don't record crimes.  You DO record great historical triumphs.  They were waging a coup.  And they thought they would win.  That's why we have thousands upon thousands of hours of individually recorded video.  The fact that we have the video is solid proof of their intent.

I am calling bullshit they were shocked.  This was always how it was going to go.  He stated this in 2016, if he won the office it was legit, if he lost, he was going to call bullshit.  This was the strategy from the beginning.  Nothing changed, just maybe the spineless republicans doing pulling a Neville Chamberlain.

He won't die.  He'll just be riding in that airplane with JFK Jr. planning his return with Elvis as his campaign advisor.  Maybe Tupac will be the Sec. of Defense.

They thought--and most still think--that THEY were the ones saving democracy.

Honestly, I don't even despise--or even blame--them for their actions.

Imagine you were really, really, really, really stupid and gullible, and the sitting United States fucking President, the man who you voted for, told you for months that the election was stolen out from under him. And everyone on his side of the aisle, all of your "news" sources, and everyone you associate with in person and online repeated those lies as fact. What would you do? Of course they thought that they were the heroes of the story.

One of the biggest tragedies of 1/6 is how much it overshadows the national embarrassment of the previous two months, with every Republican voice in the country wholeheartedly backing the President's dangerous lies.

And then they have the gall to pretend that they didn't cause 1/6.

You're acting like something has changed since that day.  They still all mostly believe it and Trump and most of the right wing media are still saying it.

[pyrohornIII 4814]

There was a pre plan for this type of incident.  I am sure it was founded on having a large force of defenders to maintain the peace once everyone reported and would most likely call for non-lethal methods of control.  Once it became apparent to the Capitol police that the calvary wasn't coming, then the plan changed to include lethal, and apparently even then there were lines of demarcation whereby once broached, defensive measures escalated.  The real failure of the day from the defense side comes from whoever did the inside work for Trump to fuck up the plan.  

But I also seem to remember some reports that said early on, even days before, that requests for support were already being denied, so their adjustments were on the fly since they didn't know who would actually show.

If the plan would have been followed, it would have ended up much differently.

What makes it even more worse (worser?) is that the republican politicans and media people know that he was lying. They know how elections work. They played along anyway because they created a nation of dumb fuck morons who will only vote if you make them believe in civil war type bullshit. It's disgusting. They are literally going to let the country collapse before they act like civilized human beings. I hate them and cannot take anyone seriously who supports the fucking maniac. I seriously have less than zero respect for people who vote republican anymore. Even people in my life who are otherwise reasonable human beings, I can converse professionally where necessary, but have zero desire to befriend anyone like that, because they are either too stupid to accept truth, or are okay with lies if it helps their favorite team win elections. The latter is worse in my opinion.

And they did this shit specifically because they were acting at the behest and with the approval of POTUS, who they thought would protect them from consequences.  If they didn't think that he specifically would protect them, they thought that the notion of acting at the behest of POTUS, whoever it was and whatever they intended to do, would protect them.

They watch their brethren getting jail sentences and felonies over January 6, and all of the sudden when Trump starts getting hauled into actual courthouse, to potentially face real punishment, they somehow can't be found.....and based on the last year or two of rallies that Trump has held, most can't even be bothered to show up at one of his fundraising rallies.

Every time I see this thread bumped, I think to myself "maybe, just maybe that ignorant, traitorous cunt got mowed down again" and I get a little bit excited. But then I remember that I don't believe in  reincarnation, so I get a little bit sad. But sometimes the thread update shows her traitorous cunt family crying about her death, and I get a little warm feeling inside. Plus there's always that small chance that a cop will just shoot her cunt mom, because ....well, cops. So its always a rollercoaster, but a net win every time.
