Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAnyone else wondering if this was a trial run or distraction from a bigger upcoming event?
just a gut feeling here...but these idiots looked like high school basketball players playing a pro team. Trump and his people aren't backing down at all and there is already talk of a bigger event on 1/19, maybe this one was just a distraction while they plan for a bigger event somewhere else and were testing whether they could really do it this easily.

It was only a practice run
OUR decorum & morals are no match for pure hatred of the same.
Watch 01/20 carefully

Hard to know if it was caught in the moment bluster or real. Probably some of each, depending on who was talking.

of Thomas Paine, et al. They believe an election was stolen from their Idiot King.

(783 posts)Saw on a twitter thread they are saying that they will show up in a force that no law enforcement group will be able to stop them. The post said they plan to make sure no one but tRump will enter the White House after the 20th and they plan to bring their guns.
Good luck with that....

(20 posts)Them to take it national next time in a co-ordinated multi state and city effort with no holds barred. Thats the buzz any way. Stay safe friends. Keep your heads on a swivel. They are openly discussing eliminating us. Truly they are.
Ollie Garkie
(186 posts)yeah probably. right now is the first time I've ever considered buying a gun.
These clowns, or more correctly, their corporate sponsors probably have some
sort of database of "librul socialists" to eliminate among the citizenry.

(9,213 posts)Sure, they couldn't take over the country, but now all eyes are on the Capitol with thousands of national guard and giant fences around it...so what if this is all a cover to take down some other unexpected target?
I know I'm kind of going down a rabbit hole here, but like I said, on Wednesday, terrorists led an insurrection in our country and occupied the Capitol building. We are lucky they didn't do more damage but they were in there with no reinforcements or back up for almost an hour, during one of Congress' most important meetings in decades.

Biden knows the protocols. This fubar requires willing conspirators at all levels. They'll have removed frump's hoodlums by then.
