Anyone think if the terrorists/insurrectionists had managed to grab Nancy, Schumer, AOC and

[Demsrule86]

Pence as well as others, they would have been killed? They went for the ballots and had a plan...this was a planned insurrection. I am so fucking furious. Send them all to jail, including those Senators/House Members I am convinced colluded with these scumbags. Trump is an insurrectionist and remains unrepentant. He must be removed from office using the 25th and arrested.

[still_one]

1. It could have been so much worse. What happened in Michigan toward Governor Whitmer should

have told us how dangerous trump and his followers are

[Demsrule86]

4. Capitols were attacked yesterday too...Trump needs to be removed from office and arrested today.

[TomDaisy]

11. the longer he goes w/o punishment the more emboldened his mob is

[Demsrule86]

27. This is not over. Trump did not concede or give up...Trump must go.

[still_one]

15. Agreed

[Demsrule86]

30. He can't be the president for 15 days...it is too dangerous...I think Pence would have been killed,

It likely was part of the plan. This was an assassination attempt in many ways. No doubt his worthless daughter or son would have become VP at this point.

[Demsrule86]

73. Elaine Chao just resigned.

[Demsrule86]

28. Those who got our folks out saved the lives of many...insurrectionists learned to

build guillotines for a reason.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

55. Woman who broke into corridor of Pelosi's offices was there to arrest her and Pence

Like she was on a mission (ex-military) she had planned and knew where to go. She was leading in front and thus was the one shot.

[AllaN01Bear]

57. lin wood is one of those who needs to lose his law practicing license and goto jail

[CaptainTruth]

67. +1000

[Demsrule86]

74. Yup...wood needs to be disbarred.

[OhNo-Really]

60. Did she serve wit Flynn?

[Demsrule86]

75. She was in the Air Force...I don't think Flynn was.

[Crunchy Frog]

90. But it's so twagic that she got shot. She didn't deserve it!!!111

[Butterflylady]

68. You make a good point

What happened in Michigan should have been taken more seriously. They were coming to make trouble. Maybe we should have drawn them pictures because it sure seems having it written down didn't do it for them.

[Demsrule86]

76. They tried to get Raffensberger yesterday. He was escorted to safety.

[AleksS]

2. I feel like a Biden DoJ will have a lot

of work to do. A lot of phone records, emails, and texts to sift through.

And now that a person died, ALL the planners, colluders, and conspirators are on the hook. No matter their office.

[Demsrule86]

26. This needs to be investigated. we have traitors possibly in the House and the Senate...both

both elected and those who work there.

[HUAJIAO]

29. the house and senate is RAMPANT with traitors.. Almost 100%

of the republicans

[Demsrule86]

37. someone or more colluded with the insurrectionists...let them in to begin with...they need to

be identified and arrested.

[HUAJIAO]

40. I agree

[Demsrule86]

72. I am sure the FBI can figure it out under new leadership...all Trumpers must go.

[RVN VET71]

80. True. It's now felony murder, but is everyone subject to the charge?

I’m asking the question and have no idea what is the answer.

[beachbumbob]

3. this conspiracy runs deep into GOVT and why the CApital was left 100% vulnerable with ACTIVE

participation of many Capital Police in assisting the trump mob in breaching the Capital. Massive video evidence shows this happenin

We were so fucking lucky these folks did not have fully automatic weapons. No indication of any such arms yesterday. If they had, the outcome would have 100s dead, including US Congress people and Senators

[Demsrule86]

5. They deliberately left our elected to possibly die...heads must roll. Trump's should be the first.

[Demsrule86]

7. There were bombs between the DNC and RNC buildings. And the proud boy leader had

equipment for automatic weapons.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

52. Please, no gifs in sig lines. It clobbers your messages being so distracting they are hard to read

Totally dominates the thread.

Sorry, I didn't read anywhere near as much of your thread as I would have under other circumstances.

[Demsrule86]

78. I love GIFS...but I will consider this for a bit.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

79. Thanks. You can keep text string handy and copy-paste it into random posts anytime you like.

[SheltieLover]

16. What about the truck nearby filled with guns & ammo?

I've not seen detailed info, but perhaps that was part of their plan?

[Demsrule86]

24. It has to be...too much of a coincidence not to be part of it.

[SheltieLover]

38. Absolutely!

There are no coincidences in such situations.

[KPN]

58. Hell, remember Paul Ryan' comment after McCarty's foolish slip about

so and so (an R Congressman) on Putin’s payroll “This stays in the family”.

This runs very deep and too many have been naive about both its existence and its intention. They have been planning a one party State for decades.

[Enoki33]

64. Do not forget tRump went out of his way to tell his mob of

white supremacists before sending them on their way to respect the boys in blue. Think he intimated they were friends. By so doing he confirmed what we suspect.

[honest.abe]

6. Yes perhaps, so you have to then give the Capitol Police some credit..

for at least focusing on getting everyone out before the terrorists got in. Still they failed miserably but the situation could have been much much worse.

[Demsrule86]

9. That wasn't them. It was the SS attached to some in the House.

[honest.abe]

12. Ok that's good to know.

Thanks!

[honest.abe]

49. Actually the Capitol police were directly involved in the evacuation.

See 0:39 in this video of members of congress being evacuated.

That female officer is wearing a Capitol police uniform as well as the male officer at 0:44.

[Demsrule86]

77. It was the Secret Service that got members to safety.

[honest.abe]

84. Did you see the video?

Those are Capitol police unless Im mistaken about the uniforms.

[HUAJIAO]

31. ".........before the terrorists got in."

The terrorists DID get in !

[malaise]

8. I think this was a repeat of the Michigan playbook

that was exposed by intelligence - there would have been kidnappings and executions

[Demsrule86]

17. I think so too...these bastards need to experience prison and soon.

I am so pissed.

[obamanut2012]

10. The women would have been raped, maybe some of the men, too

On livestream. Then beaten and ;probably killed.

[Demsrule86]

18. I shudder to think...it turns me cold with terror to think what would have happened to the

squad...the righties hate them.

[obamanut2012]

23. Yes, I keep thinking of AOC, Omar, etc.

[Demsrule86]

34. Thank God they were basically saved... a big thanks to all who managed this.

[Captain Zero]

13. They knew the Parliamentarian maintained the EVs

They specifically ransacked that office looking for them.

The Former air force woman was shot trying to get down the hallway to Pelosis office.

They had a plan. Who aided and abetted them?

[Demsrule86]

19. That is exactly right...members of Congress on the right and/or those who work for them

were in on this.

[obamanut2012]

25. There was a retired Ai Force Intel Officer there

He proudly livestreamed himself on the steps.

[Demsrule86]

35. He can be put back into the military court martialed and could spend years in prison.

[obamanut2012]

36. Exactly

[Demsrule86]

46. And it needs to happen...Those who participated in this need to be arrested, prosecuted and

any self respecting employer will fire those who tried to commit treason. There should be a price to be paid.

[obamanut2012]

70. Indeed! This isn't a 1A issue

[Demsrule86]

71. We are very fortunate that half the Congress and the VP are not dead.

[FailureToCommunicate]

65. Wow. just wow!

[Iliyah]

14. Treason Barr would have done nothing . ..

the acting DOJ is doing nothing. The Capitol Police have been compromised and the USA still have treasonous republican congresscritters in office.

[Demsrule86]

20. It is a damned disgrace...Trump need to go today.

[JHB]

22. Barr DID do nothing.

He knew a play like this was afoot and said nothing, just bailed out early to wipe off his fingerprints.

[Demsrule86]

32. I bet he resigned because he knew but he didn't tell anyone.

[SheltieLover]

39. And what are more recent appointees who have resigned avoiding, yet not divulging?

[Demsrule86]

45. He is not giving up...there is still talk of the 25th this morning, I hope so.

He is dangerous...what else is he planning?

[SheltieLover]

50. EXACTLY!

And patriarchy will wring its figurative hands and do nothing.

I've never wanted to be wrong about something so much!

Meanwhile, who knows what else they are planning?

[tanyev]

21. And Donnie would have made his way to the Capitol afterwards and strutted in like a conquering king.

IMO.

[Demsrule86]

33. That was the plan...dictator Donnie...burn the ballots, kill his 'enemies and any who resist.

Next make state legislatures appoint Trump electors ...thus our Republic ends.

[GaYellowDawg]

41. Yes, I do.

And they would have made a display of it, too.

[Demsrule86]

43. I can't even imagine...I cried yesterday as a military brat...both my parent were Navy watching

the way the flag was misused by these cretins...these people are traitors.

[Hortensis]

61. Yes! But I was both outraged and smiling when treasonous hoodlums

replaced the American flag with Trump flags. Nothing like extremely offensive symbolism to deliver messages through intense gut reactions to conservative and unengaged brains. Not our brightest traitors.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

42. Killed or held hostage....

“A mob is not autonomous: it executes the real will of the people who rule the State. The slaughter in Birmingham, Alabama, for example, was not merely the action of a mob.” - James Baldwin

[Demsrule86]

44. That is a very appropriate quote. And if you think about it...Trump sent them and planned

to arrive once they had secured the Capitol to continue the insurrection. It was his will and of other traitors in the House and Senate which formed this mob...and it was a deadly attack on our Republic.

[keithbvadu2]

81. Domestic terrorists which the Trump Administration has not allowed the FBI to investigate.

[Turin_C3PO]

48. No doubt in my mind.

I think every Democrat and some Republicans would have been executed by these terrorists. I’m praying Joe Biden has competent security because I think he has a target on his back.

[Demsrule86]

82. You know they are coming back for the inauguration...posted on righty sites I monitor.

[yaesu]

51. tRump planned & instigated it, yet he is still in office, what does that tell you about our fucked

up country?

[Demsrule86]

83. Trumps needs to go to prison.

[bdamomma]

53. In Michigan

they stormed their State house and wanted to kidnap and kill Governor Whitmer, these thugs are not Americans but treasonous bastards.

Who repeat the same thing their mob boss tells him too. That is why they love tRump so much he's their Mob Boss and they love chaos

[Demsrule86]

86. They want to kill someone...and must be stopped. Domestic terrorists is what they are.

[bdamomma]

97. Domestic terrorists

do you realize how many attacks there have been in this country due to these cretins. They must be held accountable. tRump needs to removed as soon as possible, Rudy too should be disbarred.

[Bear Creek]

54. Unruly mob

Did this? What would a trained group do? Some small thought, what if this was allowed so it would be a practice run? They are going to have to make examples out of them.

[Demsrule86]

87. I was thinking about that too...there are more sophisticated groups...I think about those movies

where the White House is attacked...

[Bear Creek]

99. Scary

But not out of the question. I am a bit worried about the inauguration. Maybe this time it shouldn't be public. Could use Covid19 concerns for limited access.

[shrike3]

56. There's no doubt in my mind, yes, they would have been severely harmed or killed.

Or held hostage, as someone else said.

[Demsrule86]

88. I have seen filthy posts about Democratic women...on the righty sites...I have not doubt some would

face rape from this scum...many are incels too.

[shrike3]

98. I'd forgotten about that. Yes, awful stuff about Democratic women.

[LiberalArkie]

59. They believed if they took the ballots, they could have forced another election.

They did not read the part of the law about copies.

The electors count the results and
then sign six certificates, each of which contains two lists,
one of which includes the electoral votes for the President,
the other, electoral votes for the Vice President, each of
which includes the names of persons receiving votes and
the number of votes cast for them. These are known as
Certificates of the Vote, which the electors are required to
sign. They then pair the six Certificates of Ascertainment
provided by the state governors with the Certificates of the
Vote, and sign, seal, and certify them(3 U.S.C. §§8-10).

The six certificates are then distributed by registered mail
as follows: (1) one certificate to the President of the U.S.
Senate (the Vice President); (2)two certificates to the
secretary of state (or equivalent officer) of the state in
which the electors met; (3) two certificates to the Archivist;
and (4) one certificate to the judge of the U.S. district court
of the district in which the electors met (3 U.S.C. §11).

[Demsrule86]

89. Maybe they were trying to buy time to go after legislatures to send new ones.

[AnnieBW]

62. They had a noose

They knew exactly what they were planning.

https://www.businessinsider.com/nooses-spotted-as-pro-trump-rioters-spark-chaos-on-capitol-2021-1

[Demsrule86]

91. That was chilling and a guillotine as well.

[Jetheels]

63. They coulda spread covid.

[Demsrule86]

92. They could have but I bet they would have beat down lawmakers instead.

[Paladin]

66. The mob would have killed the Democratic lawmakers...

...and then trump would have done his best to pardon them. Always count on trump to do something worse than you expect---he openly-and-obviously fomented that goon takeover of the capitol, and he'll probably get away with it, with little or no punishment.

[Demsrule86]

93. Right...and still some in the GOP objected to the electors...disgusting.

[3825-87867]

69. Follow the (Russian) money?

Inside payoffs?

Lower level people have been bought for a lot less than Senators or Representatives.
Don't know what the going Russian rate for a President, Senator, Repsresentative, Governor, Mayor, Local Councilman, Police Chief, Patrolman, janitor or ex G.I. is, but it's something Puk-tin can definitely can afford and probably has! And a lot of low level people can be bought cheaply today in this country.

Kinda makes the July 4th visit by our quissling Reps look suspicious! Time to check bank accounts of a lot of people!

[Demsrule86]

94. I was thinking about that yesterday too...what were they doing?

[RVN VET71]

85. Yes. Beaten humiliated, and murdered.

Not a doubt in my mind. The mob became a single, vicious animal. The police, unprepared and, in many cases, complicit, withdrew -- and maybe it was better to let the ransacking go on until the venom was completely expended. It was either that or fire on the attackers and litter the ground around the Capitol with the bleeding bodies of the dead and wounded, as if they were Black people!

[Demsrule86]

95. You nailed it. That was the plan and the police did very little.

[RVN VET71]

96. I can excuse police inaction as due to their being under-staffed and ill prepared

I saw the video of the one cop practically pleading with the attacking mob and finally having to flee for his life. That guy deserves a commendation for at least trying to do something.

But the selfies and the opening of the gate . . . somebody’s head has to roll for those acts of complicity.
